Natural Brand Review: Briogeo Don’t Despair, Repair! Deep Conditioning Mask

I’ve been trying several natural deep conditioners for my hair and Briogeo is definitely one of my top 3. This is not a sponsored post; I really do use this product weekly. It really softens my hair and keeps my curls looking smooth, especially after heat styling. I leave it in for about 15 mins (or longer depending on if I get sidetracked), and my … Continue reading Natural Brand Review: Briogeo Don’t Despair, Repair! Deep Conditioning Mask

Natural Brand Product Review: Inna Organic’s Myrr Detoxifying Mask

I’ve become a sheet mask fan…even though I can’t really tell if they really do anything for my skin. I just think they’re a fun thing to incorporate into a self-care regimen because they force you to not do anything for 10-15 minutes or risk it falling off. I recently tried this Myrr Detoxifying mask from Inna Organic, which is meant to hydrate and give … Continue reading Natural Brand Product Review: Inna Organic’s Myrr Detoxifying Mask

Makeup Swatches: Ultra Repair Tinted Moisturizer SPF 30

Clean Beauty Find: Soapwalla

Bob’s Red Mill ground oats, pure almonds and organic raw sugar – these are not the ingredients of the breakfast I had this morning (although it sounds delicious!); they are, however, just a few of the ingredients used in products from skin care line, Soapwalla. The line was developed in 2012 by Rachel Winard who has systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), an autoimmune illness, which was … Continue reading Clean Beauty Find: Soapwalla
