BEAUTY SPOTLIGHT: Carefree Beauty

With all that's going on, don't you wish you can live life without a care in the world?

Well here's one less thing to worry about: Make up! Okay it's not free gas or cheap health insurance, but it's still something worth checking out. Introducing Carefree Beauty, a new company that will help us change the way we see and use make up - healthy, pure, and toxic-free.

Based in London, UK, Carefree Beauty is aimed at promoting beauty products without comprising your health and expectations of what high quality make up is all about. With their knowledge of increase risks in women experiencing irritation, allergies, and even cancer using toxic-ridden makeup - Carefree Beauty products are tested by the Skin Deep Environmental Working Group organization to ensure their products are 100% organic, pure and most importantly, safe for your skin.

Okay so you're probably thinking: "Wow, this all sounds lovely, but how does the product look and feel?" Well, that's where I come in. I got the chance to put several of their products to the test and the results are in!

Organic Mineral Blush

If the smooth velvety powder doesn't awe you, the rich color will. I was impressed by not only the beautiful pigment of this blush, but by how soft it was! I actually wore it to the beach and amidst the wind and sand blowing everywhere, I still looked fabulous. Destynee approves! :)

Organic Mineral Eye Shadow

Oh how I love sparkly eye shadows! The light touch of sparkles infused in their eye shadows literally made my eyes twinkled like the stars. The colors are rich, but not overwhelming - definitely a great way to play up your natural beauty. For a more intense evening look, layering the colors and blending are a breeze thanks to its ultra soft powdery finish.

Organic Lipstick

I love, love, love this lipstick! I'm super picky when it comes to lipsticks because I'm a lipgloss gal at heart. But with this, I'm willing to make an exception.

Generally when testing out lipsticks I keep three things in mind: scent (it shouldn't have any), texture (it should be smooth and easy to apply), and color (how long does it lasts?). With the Organic Lipstick, there was no smell, it was smooth like butter and the color was rich and long lasting. I must say it passed my test with flying colors - no pun intended.

All I can say is: Organic never looked and felt this good! Plus, all their products are animal cruelty free. Hmm, so it's good for my skin, good for little fluffy - I think I have another beauty brand to add on my list of favorites.

What's in for Fall: The Autumn Colours

With the Autumn season fast upon us it's a wonder where summer has gone. Don't fret for long, fall is just THE perfect time to sharpen up your wardrobe & try out a new look. This season it's about getting back to nature, but with flawless skin and the look of pure elegance. Foundation: Know your Skin Tone. Before you can begin to choose makeup colours suited to your skin tone, you must figure out what type of complexion you have. In general, skin tones fall in to three categories: light, medium and dark. It is best to find a foundation that matches your skin tone in any season. Earthy Eyeshadow Tones: Back to Nature. When it comes to eyes, keep it simple. Any shades that can be found in nature are what you should highlight your eyes with this season. We suggest Bark, Khaki and Cocoa for lighter skin tones, and Whisper Fog, Halo, Bare and Sage for medium to dark toned skin. Blush: Radiant and Glowing Skin. When the weather turns cool, a little extra color helps keep your face looking radiant and glowing. We suggest Dusty Rose for light tones, which is a satiny sweep of sun-drenched rose with a radiant highlighting glow. For medium tones, Foxy Brown, a deep velvety shade, gives cheeks a shimmering chocolate-cherry glisten. For darker tones, try Tickle, for a soft, sunny apricot sparkle. Lipstick: Hollywood Retro-Glamour. The Hollywood retro-glamour look is back. For this season, don't be afraid to put the emphasis on your lips. For light skin tones, try Merlot, a gorgeous deep wine colour. Courage, a classic bright red, is great for medium tones. Finally, Kiss Cool Matte Red is ideal for dark skin tones. Afterglow Organic Liplove lipsticks are one of Hollywood's best kept secrets. Celebrities have to wear makeup everyday and are concerned with the products that are used on their skin. So, many makeup artists have switched to products like organic lipsticks. It is said that the average woman ingests up to four pounds of lipstick or gloss in a lifetime. With that in mind, don't you want your lipstick to be organic?

I get a lot of questions about mineral make-up and natural or organic make-up brands. I am not a regular make-up wearer but I do know that mineral make-up is much talked about these days. Afterglow Mineral Cosmetics is free of synthetic dyes, paraben preservatives and irritants. Afterglow offers a full range of make-up and colors which will make it hard to resist not ordering a ton of new make-up!I was very pleased with the products I tried, my favorite being the Organic Lipstick do to the fact that I regularly wear lip color of some sort. My lips felt conditioned and soft after applying.Overall, I am happy to see more toxic free make-up options and I am curious how the eyeliner would hold up... Click here to order online.
