Natural

So, I'm on this whole natural body care kick. My shampoo is sulfate and paraben free and my conditioner is sulfate free. Haha I'm really not sure what that means, all I know is that those things are very bad for you. [A paraben is a preservative and sulfate makes things foam.] Basically, it's like milk or meat without hormones or organic fruit. Not necessary, but probably a heck of a lot better for you. So I'm slowly trying to take all of those things out.

This is a very very interesting website, that kind of shows you how many chemicals we put into and on our bodies everyday! To me, it's very scary!


This is the conditioner I use. L'Oreal Paris EverStrong Reconstruct Conditioner. It smells like rosemary and mint. Which, to some may smell like men's shampoo. But after awhile, it smells fresh and clean. I like it a lot! That have other kinds besides the reconstruct conditioner. My sister used it, and it made her hair really greasy. I use it because the ends of my hair are fried because I bleached them! My hair is so soft! [Also, I haven't blow dried or straightened my hair in a month.]



This is my shampoo! Simpy U volumizing shampoo! Got it at Walmart! I love it! It doesn't really have a distinct smell, but it doesn't smell bad. Plus, my conditioner makes up for the lack of smell; it is very fragrant! You might find at first, that your hair looks oily and greasy, but after a few days, that should go away. Your hair is just used to being stripped of its natural oils everyday, so it mass produces it. But since this doesn't strip your hair, your body won't have to overcompensate. Click Here to go to a blog that talks about this shampoo and it's conditioner. I should probably switch hair sprays too, but I can't part with my Paul Mitchell Freeze and Shine! Haha. It's so lovely! 

I use Burt's Bee's or eos chapsticks. [Which I've used for awhile now, and it's nice knowing that they are paraben free!] Yay! 
It doesn't really have a smell. 


It smells like honeydew! 
Next, I'm switching deodorants, body washes, shave cream, face wash, toothpaste, face/body lotions and makeup!

Tom's of Maine [sold at Walmart, Target, etc.] sells an all natural deodorant, body wash and toothpaste! That's what I plan on switching to! Exciting! Haha! I want to go to Walmart! They also sell mouthwash, dental floss, soap, etc.

Burt's Bees sells toothpaste, body washes, shampoos, conditioners, face washes, etc. I'll probably go to them for face wash and stick with the for my chapstick! They sell sunscreen too for those of you who use sunscreen! I usually just put it on my face! Burt's Bees is more expensive than normal products, so beware...

eos sells lotion and shave cream [as well as my other chap stick!]. I plan on using them for shave cream and possibly lotion, but it seems kind of expensive.



Korres is a makeup brand sold at Sephora. I think I'm going to try out their Watermelon Tinted Moisturizer with 30 SPF sunscreen. [Pictured above.] It's $30, but it will serve as my foundation, my moisturizer, and my sunscreen. Well worth the money in my opinion. I have to go in store to try it out though... I may not like it. The reviews said it smells really good though.

I also want to try their pencil eyeliner in black. [$18.] Kind of pricey, but I wear Clinique now, so it's not that much different.


Tarte, is another brand you can purchase at Sephora. I think I am going to [bravely] try their Lash Hugger Natural Mascara in black. [Pictured above.] I'm going to be honest and say I'm terrified. I love love love Covergirl LashBlast! But it's not all natural or paraben-free... so. But this seems to be the best kind [and cheapest] for my needs. I'm scared to not have my LashBlast brush, but hopefully I will survive.


I'm also for sure purchasing [for my fall/winter bright red lip color needs] their LipSurgence Natural Matte Lip Tint in fiery red! I'm excited for this one! It shouldn't dry my lips put like my Clinique lipstick does. And it's the same price as my Clinique lip liner, so Mumsie will appreciate that! I do have to go in store for this though, because they color may not match my skin tone... that's an issue for me sadly.

I'm excited for my new natural products! it's going to be a little expensive, but hopefully it will be worth it!
