What Drugstore Brand is Comparable to Arbonne?

By admin | March 17, 2010

Submitted by Beauty Brains Blog

ibteachnu asks…I can no longer afford Arbonne. What drugstore brands are comparable to their hydrating wash, balancing toner, facial serum, and day creme? I’ve already replaced their RE-9 foaming body wash with Olay’s age defying body wash. What are your thoughts on that product?

Thumbnail image for Do Sunscreen Pills Work?

LoonyLolipop asks…Many news articles are gushing about the revolutionary development of sunscreen supplements, specifically SunPill and Heliocare. These products would be a wonderful alternative to topical sunscreens because I am very allergic to oxybenzone and avenobenzene, two common ingredients in over-the-counter topical sun blocks. However, no article has mentioned whether this pill offers broad spectrum [...]

Gisele Launches A New Line :: Sejaa Natural Skincare.

By admin | March 17, 2010

Submitted by Organic Beauty View Blog

Gisele Bundchen recently gave birth to a gorgeous new baby but she’s been busy on all fronts with the launch of her new Sejaa Pure Skincare collection. Having graced the covers of more than 500 magazines, countless runway shows and too many ad campaigns to list here, you’d be forgiven for thinking she has time for little else. However, the amazonian beauty has been a Goodwill UN Embassador since 2009 and has been deeply involved in humanitarian and environmental issues throughout the course of her career. Only natural then that she would create a skincare collection that reflects her values, with pure natural ingredients that have as little impact on the earth as possible. Each ingredient has been extracted from whole plant sources using manufacturing techniques that retain their healing properties and potency. Not just created by a pretty (well, ok… stunning) face, the formulations contain chlorella, aloe, algae, shea butter, argan oil, jojoba oil and more, making this a sophisticated, well-considered and thoughtful skincare line that gets the job done. You could say… much like Gisele herself. Writer :: Emma Pezzack – www.futurenatural.com: the best organic beauty products in the world.

All For Eve: Eve Red Lipstick

By admin | March 17, 2010

Submitted by British Beauty Blogger

 


If you love your lips ultra-red and luscious, then look no further than this gorgeous specimen from the All For Eve Range. Designed by make up artist Daniel Sandler (isn’t it about time we had a resurgence of the trend for his amazingly lovely Watercolours for cheeks?), ALL the net profits from the sales of Eve Red go straight to The Eve Appeal. The brand All For Eve was inspired by the untimely death of George Hammer’s sister in law, Nadia, from ovarian cancer. Profits go directly to research into gynaecological cancers and awareness raising. Eve Red goes on sale through the All For Eve website from 26th April and in Harrods on 1st May. For red afficionados, Daniel will be demonstrating Eve Red during Harrods’ Red Lipstick Day on 27th May. www.allforeve.co.uk

Lefty and Righty will say we’ve got to be skeptical about beauty products and do research before spending a lot of money blah blah blah. I don’t disagree, but whether you research or not, at some point you’re going to buy new stuff. So, when you do make a decision to buy, there are [...]

OBV Reader Giveaway :: Melange Solid Perfumes.

By admin | March 15, 2010

Submitted by Organic Beauty View Blog

Melange in french literally means to mix or blend, a word that aptly describes how to treat the wearing of these natural solid scents from Melange Perfumes. Each fragrance comes in a base of natural beeswax & jojoba that glides beautifully onto skin and the smells last for hours. You can wear each blend on its own, mix them up to create your own signature scent, or have them custom blend something for you. Created by perfumer Denise Estrada, there are 28 notes in four collections with mixes such as Melati Jasmine, Fig & Pear, Ginger & White Tea and Amber Noir in particular grabbing my attention. While it’s what’s inside the box that counts, I love that they come packaged so prettily and each one is like opening a little gift. The perfect size to fit in your purse or pocket and at only $15 each, why stop at one? We’re giving away two of these natural solid perfumes (Melati Jasmine + Neroli Blossom & Orange) to one lucky OBV reader. All you have to do is tell us what your favorite smell is and why! Until this Friday only…  Writer :: Emma Pezzack – www.futurenatural.com: the best organic beauty products in the world.
