Kiss My Face
http://www.kissmyface.com
Looking for a new lip balm? Try a natural version. Kiss My Face's new Vanilla Honey Lip Balm has SPF 15 and contains no artificial colors and were not tested on animals. Tastes great and does a great job at keeping dry lips at bay.

4mula
http://www.4mula.com
4mula got our coveted beautiful website of the month award last month. And now it's time to see if their products live up to their beautiful packaging, press kit and concept. And I'll be the first to say, absolutely. From opening up the simply styled
yet eleant press kit, to opening up the cutest little sample bottles, to the intense whiff of aromatherapy oils and essences, so strong I couldn't believe it. A major Aveda fan, I'm all for essential oils and it's powerful benefits. But 4mula takes it one step further. From their scents to their easy put together body treats, they came up with a way to intensify the whole aroma-body experience.
You choose from:
WASH (Bar Box or Body Wash)
EXFOLIATE (Sugarglo or Saltglo)
RESTORE MOISTURE (Hydracreme, shea butter rich, or Catalyst, a rich 9 essential
oils blend)
And
NOURISH SKIN CELLS (Body Polish, with shea butter minerals and safflower oil to
seal moisture into skin.)
Then choose from 4 heavenly scents (not available in all products.)
4mula 101 is mandarin/grapefruit/petitgrain essential oils.
4mula 102 is peppermint/rosemary/eucalyptus essential oils.
4mula 103 is moroccan chamomile/bergamot/clary sage essential oils
4mula 104 is frankincense/lavender/geranium essential oils.
Their ground breaking newly designed "Ergobar" bar soap design keeps their soap dry and melt free.
Body wash is super scented (meaning, a fragrance inducing sighhhhh), body scrubs wash off super clean and are non-greasy. And the Body Polish leaves skin smooth, non slippery and soft.
The packaging: simple, clean, both sexes friendly. Recyclable and reusable containers and removable labels, help upgrade the term environmentally friendly to a whole new level. You just don't want to throw these away.
This is THE hot new skincare line to watch out for.
Nature's Tears
http://www.naturestears.com/
If you suffer from dry eyes, irritated eyes and the like, try Nature's Tears. A light mist meant to spray lightly into the eyes and across the face, it's gentle all natural bio-logic aqua grade water is safe for all eyes, including contact lens wearers. My
irritated eyes got a welcome relief in minutes after using. Though caution, spray lightly. It takes a while to get used to something going into your eyes. Great to keep on you while air-traveling, in the car, in your makeup kit, or if you work in a smoke-filled environment.
Von Natur
http://www.vonnatur.com
Absolute Serum
This serum is light enough to use every a.m., yet strong enough to protect skin as it battles sun, toxins and the air. Light enough to use for those who experience break outs as well. A slight stinging and then it's gone. You'll need a least a good week to see a difference in your skin. I've been working on trying to get this pesky patch of freckles (all gathered in one spot, how nice of them!) to lighten up a bit. I did notice slight peeling in my skin a few days after.
Fylo Cosmetics
http://www.fylocosmetics.com
Every now and again, something comes in my mail. A new product to review, a goodie, a new website, that makes me feel like it's Christmas. Sometimes the items are just so so. But today?
It's Christmas.
It's new, it's different. It's super cool. It's FYLO.
Which stands for:For Your Lips Only
Cutie little lipstick cubes that pop in and out to customize your own little lip palette. In lipsticks and lip glosses, you can create your own, including the lip palette box design.
The colors are sheerer on then they look. (Whew! The colors look so strong, it makes you wonder if these are actually wearable!) But they are. Check out the cute neutral shades and lip gloss shimmers. And affordable too. Palettes are $14, color cubes are $8. So cute, So cubicle. So gotta have it. Yep, it's Christmas in April!
