Kaia Naturals

The Tapioca Cleanser is a face cleanser/exfoliator in one. It comes in a powder form, and then you add drops of water until it mixes into a paste, which you then use to massage and clean your skin! You can then really customize your product by mixing the powder with different oils! For example, people who suffer from redness or sensitive skin can mix the powder with Rosewater and it's going to help much more then just water. Or mix it with green tea for an extra anti-oxidant boost! I love that it can be tailor-made for everyone’s different skin types and concerns. www.kaianaturals.com

Juice Beauty

I tried Juice Beauty's new Stem Cellular Instant Eye Lift and Eye Treatment. Wow, I absolutely love it and as I get older I can’t treat my skin the way I did in my teens and early 20s. Now is the time to start an anti-aging regimen. These products were easy to use and they felt so amazing while giving me great results. The eyelift is pretty neat; it comes in little bottles that you soak over a pure marine algae eye mask. Put the eye masks under the eyes and leave on for 10 minutes. You instantly notice your eyes look brighter, less tired and it reduces dark circles. www.juicebeauty.com

Cocoon Apothecary

I was lucky enough to try their amazing exfoliating cleanser, a sensitive skincare starter kit and a natural rosehip oil serum. Not only is it hard to find great organic products, but to find one in my own backyard from Kitchener, Ontario. My skin is thanking me. Not only have I not had any breakouts in weeks but also my skin has never been so soft and moist! The Rosey Cheeks Facial Cream is amazing. It's so soothing for my red and sensitive skin and it makes my face stay moist all day. www.cocoonapothecary.com

Aura Cacia

Aromatherapy is something I have learned a little about but I always want to know more. In comes the Aura Cacia Organic Chakra Balancing Roll-ons. There are seven chakras and this kit comes with different essential oil blends to target each chakra and balance you. Now for some people who are skeptical out there that’s okay, because these babies happen to smell AMAZING! If you’re not into the holistic healing side of using these roll-ons they can be worn mixed together or separate to create some amazing natural perfumes, that just to happen to be helping you without you even realizing.

Jane Iredale

Immediately upon using Jane Iredale’s new Golden Shimmer lotion I was hooked. It’s a wonderful lotion that can be used alone or with makeup, and even all over your body that gives you a natural golden shimmer! It goes on very sheer and doesn't make your skin turn orange or anything scary. A few dabs along your cheekbones, along your décolleté or on your legs will give you that natural golden glow, without any harm to your skin. You can even put some on your hands and put a few streaks in your hair. It gives a warm dewy glow without the sun.
