Dermstore RMS Beauty Haul


This is actually two orders from Dermstore for RMS Beauty Products. I finally ordered the RMS Beauty Un-Powder (at 25% off!). They didn't have the RMS Beauty Buriti Bronzer yet... and a week later they did and I ordered it too. Here it is:



Here it is swatched. Very subtle which is great for me as I feel like bronzer is easy to overdo!

Samples included:

Kronos K-Charge Volumizing Shampoo
Dermstore Hydrating Conditioner
Exlinea Peptide Smoothing Serum
Glosatin II Finish Natural
TNS Eye Repair
Talika Skin Retouch!

Nail Art Find Shany Cosmetics 48 Bottles Mix Nail Art Decoration Kit from Amazon



This is an excellent addition to my nail art collection. Each bottle holds a small amount but for $8 it's a great deal and it came with a tweezers which is very necessary to grab decor and apply to nails.

Recent Manicures


Candy Corn Mani! This is Zoya Darcy, Arizona, and Snow White covered in Maria Luisa.



This one was sort of an accident but I was happy with it. Zoya Kennedy with stickers and rhinestones.

Tried Incoco last week. I don't think I will try it again. Much too difficult to take off and probably a lot less healthy than Zoya!

October 2013 Empties



Real Purity Deodorant Holistic Formula 3 oz. * This is my favorite deodorant of all time, ever. Since I found it I've repurchased several times. The packaging has changed a bit and the ingredients list is a bit longer than it used to be. It is the deodorant I wear the most often and one I will probably never stop using! 
Silk Naturals Naked Organic Lip Balm .15 oz. * Definitely will keep getting these balms. Very moisturizing, long lasting, and no shea butter, which I am sensitive to. 
Real Purity Lipstick Indian Dust 4 gms * I was obsessed with this lipstick. Technically I didn't entirely finish it, but I got to the end of it and it broke. Very moisturizing. Will definitely buy more of these, and may buy this shade again. 
Crazy Rumors Bee My Honey Lip Balm .15 oz. * This has been my favorite lip balm brand for years. A lot of balms made my lips peel, and then I discovered this. I love all the flavors and this one is awesome. Shea is included but I don't seem to have a problem with it in this. 
Real Purity Lipstick sample Grape Sherbet *
RMS Beauty Lunar Eyeshadow sample * I have purchased the full size of this and quickly become obsessed with RMS! 
RMS Beauty Living Luminizer * I bought the full size of this also. 
Real Purity Mascara Navy *
Jack Black Industrial Strength Hand Healer 3 oz. I really like this but I don't think I will get it again due to a long list of unpronounceable ingredients! 
Yes to Carrots Nourishing Repairing Night Cream 1.7 oz. I was fine using this up but wouldn't buy it again. It's not incredibly moisturizing to me, my skin didn't feel great after using this, and it has the long unpronounceable ingredients problem. 
Simpy Eden Simply Sensitive Goat-Milk Lotion Unscented 8 oz. * I absolutely love this stuff for my sensitive skin but the packaging is horrible because it's really hard to get out! Trying some other things for now but will probably get this again at some point. 

* = would repurchase

Yuzen Winter Box


I am so excited about my first Yuzen Box! Yuzen gets great reviews so I've been looking forward to it for awhile, especially since this one tends to sell out.

Jane Iredale 24 Karat Gold Dust - this is very, VERY sparkly. It's gorgeous, but might be difficult to use. I can definitely see it being great as an eyeshadow.

Here's the swatch. Below is the RMS Buriti Bronzer, which is very subtle especially next to this!

Jurlique Rose Hand Cream this feels very moisturizing and smells amazing. Definitely a realistic rose scent.

Kerstin Florian Fub Balm This is a minty foot cream that is anti fungal.

Level Naturals Travel Candle Cedar 100% Soy I rarely use candles but I will try this out. It smells amazing and is clearly a natural scent, which I love.

Pino Facial Mask Milk and Honey

Sanitas Moisture Mist This is supposed to boost the effectiveness of moisturizer.

SpaRitual Golden Rule Lacquer A sheer sparkly gold polish.

Sun Cups Dark Chocolate Mint Cups This box included two of these mint cups, the same cups as came in my last Eco Emi box.

Tara Spa Therapy Stress Relief Roll-On Remedy I was so excited about this but unfortunately thus far have been unable to roll it on. Will keep playing to see if I can get it to work!

Overall I am very happy with my Yuzen box and will continue to subscribe.

The All Natural Face Cream Blushes (and then some!)

This is my second order from The All Natural Face. In my first order I got one of the cream blushes in Peachy Rose. I loved it so much I got... five more :)

Left to right:

Bordeaux
Cotton Candy
Raisin
Everyday is a Good Day
Touch of Peach

I absolutely love these. I am planning on using Bordeaux as a lip color and actually chose it for that purpose. The others I chose as blushes because I have a lot of redness in my face. I picked these colors using reviews from Pure Makeup and Swatch Soiree.

Here is the fabulously short ingredient list for these blushes: Organic Jojoba Oil, Organic Argan Oil, Candelilia Wax, Mica, Titanium Dioxide, Boron Nitride, Oxides.

The other products pictured above are Vegan Cream Concealer in Patina, which is a light green to counteract redness, and Tinted Vegan Lip Balm in Coral, which is actually a replacement for a broken tube in my first order.
The vertical swatches are Coral and Patina, and the horizontal swatches begin with Bordeaux, then Cotton Candy, Raisin, Everyday is a Good Day, and Touch of Peach.

I also ordered the "Try Every Shade of Foundation in Your Range" kit, which comes in baggies of powder foundation. I want to use these to find my shade and then order the cream foundation.


I also ordered the Unscented Body butter, which contains organic mango butter, organic virgin coconut oil, and organic jojoba oil. Nothing else! I am always looking for a new body butter so I am really looking forward to this.

The All Natural Face also included two free samples of Vegan Eye Shadow Primer.

Chagrin Valley Soap & Salve

Chagrin Valley Soap & Salve is one of my absolutely favorite companies to purchase from and has been for a couple of years now. The main reason I've been wanting to order lately was because they came out with a new Clay Silk deodorant. I am one of those people who is constantly looking for another natural deodorant. I find it very difficult to find one that works and isn't irritating, and my body regularly becomes used to deodorants so I am often looking for another one. In any event, the Chagrin Valley Coconut Silk deodorant is incredibly effective but the baking soda in it unfortunately makes my skin very very angry. I am really excited to try this new baking soda free formula. Here's what I got: 

Clay Silk Tea Tree Deodorant
Tamanu Oil Salve for irritated skin and healing
Seabuckthorn Tamanu Facial Oil, which is supposed to be good for facial redness
Multi Butter Shower Bar, containing mango and cocoa butter
Loofah Pumice Foot Scrub
Ayeurvedic Herb Shampoo Bar 

Zoya Zenith Winter Collection Preview


My most recent Zoya order came with these swatches of the Zoya Zenith Winter collection. Now that I have seen these shades in person I want... all of them :) 


From left to right

Seraphina
Cassedy
Belinda
Payton
Dream
Mosheen

Cassedy and Belinda are full coverage. Cassedy is opaque and sparkly. Belinda, probably my favorite, is opaque and creamy with just a bit of sparkle. Seraphina is a little more on the sheer side but still pretty full coverage with a lot of sparkle. Payton and Dream are both sparkly gel-like polishes, and Mosheen is a glittery blue topcoat. They are all gorgeous and on my to buy list!
