Collectively Curated: Elizabeth Dehn (Beauty Bets) for One Love Organics - Vitamin C Serum, Vitamin E Eye Balm, Vitamin D Moisture Mist, Vitamin B Cleansing Oil

I've always been one to use samples first before splurging on skincare.  My skin is especially sensitive to oils and balms, even so, I'm always on the hunt for a holy grail oil cleanser or balm that I can use without irritation.  You can imagine my excitement when I found out that One Love Organics had a sampling option for both their original line as well as their popular ED4OLO Elizabeth Dehn for One Love Organics line at Integrity Botanicals!  I immediately ordered the samples with high hopes especially since I've seen such rave reviews about the amazing pineapple scent of the products and the effectiveness of each and every product in the line!  I can say that, yes, these products smell delicious and, yes, they work incredibly well!  I do, however, have my own personal favorites and least favorites that I'll be discussing below.  

Tested: Kimberley Sayer of London Ultra Light Facial Moisturizer spf 30

I've mentioned this sunscreen/moisturizer hybrid in my previous posts on the blog and instagram several times already but never have I sat down and written a review for you describing why I swear by this product! This ultra light(as the name suggests) moisturizer is the perfect grab-and-go product for all year round!  This is going to be your best friend throughout the summer if you prefer a very light finish, citrus scent, and spf 30 protection under the sun!  There is good reason behind the importance of sun screen as it is a largely important preventative measure against aging, hyper pigmentation, and diseases of the skin.  You're going to need a great, multi-purpose sunscreen if you're going to use it every singe day.  This is the one for me and I hope you'll want to seek this out for yourself after reading the post!

Tested: Earthwise Beauty ( Green Leaves & Co. , Frightening Green Mask, Carrot-a-Day Serum)

I’ve always been apprehensive about the theory of putting oil on oily skin in order to eliminate over-active sebum production.  I’ve especially been skeptical since my skin usually did not react well to any kind of oil before discovering Kypris’s Beauty Elixir III.  I believe the beginning of my measures of caution started when I dabbled in the spot-treatment fad using Tea Tree Oil that became popular a few years back.  Tea Tree actually ended up causing a lot more breakouts on top of the set that I already had!  So far, the Pai Copaiba and Zinc Serum has been working well as a spot treatment but I am extremely happy to announce that I’ve found a better spot treatment and it just happens to have an oil consistency!  I’ve really been having luck with oils as of late and I’m so excited to share Earthwise Beauty’s Green Leaves & Co. with you!  This is a beautifully formulated oil that helps heal active blemishes, prevent new ones from forming, and help in the recovery process of fresh scars and post-blemish issues!  I’ve been reaching for this in my most recent hormonal breakout and I’ve got great reason to do so.

[CCC]Current Curated Collection: The Scented Oils Collection

I don't like to admit it but I've always been drawn to pretty typical scents.  My old stand-by perfumes were the popular choice among my peers such as Miss Dior Cherie, See by Chloe, and Lancome's Midnight Rose.  I've since transitioned into perfume oils whether they are for wearing in the daytime or purely for relaxation at nighttime.  These scents that I've collected thus far are my favorites for entirely different reasons than before.  Not only do they smell amazing, they all have a unique capability of evoking a place or feeling.  I love them all for different purposes and the distinctive scents that they all carry give them so much character that my old scents lacked.  Since we are currently at the cusp of summer, I thought it'd be fun to share with you these fresh, adventurous scents!
