Au Naturale is a line of organic, natural and toxin-free cosmetics! They offer everything from blush and bronzer to eyeliner and eyeshadows to foundation and concealer. I absolutely love their stuff (I’ve been using it for over 6 months now) so I’m really excited to share my review with you guys!
I’ve had the pleasure of sampling quite a few products from the Au Naturale line and each and every one has a positive review. I first discovered Au Naturale through Jen from Jen Goes Green, she had posted about their concealer a while back and since I was in the market for a new one I figured I’d check them out. At that time they also had a fantastic sale online so I ordered one and never looked back! I absolutely love their concealer so so much! But… before we get to review, I’ll share a few reasons why I chose Au Naturale and love them so much:
- They are Organic, Vegan, Gluten-Free and Cruelty Free
- Their cosmetics are free from any harmful, toxic ingredients, chemicals, parabens or heavy metals
- All cosmetics are hand-crafted in small batches by a wonderful family-like team
- Their cosmetics are safe for those suffering from conditions such as Rosacea, Celiac Disease, cancer or other skin sensitivities
- The make-up lasts and stays on your face! All day!
So now that we’ve covered only a few of the reasons why I love Au Naturale, let’s take a look at the products I’ve tried and love!
Concealer
Colour: Buff
I absolutely adore this concealer! I use it every day to touch up and imperfections and dark areas on my face. It’s been a huge lifesaver for under my eyes as I naturally have darker circles under my eyes. This concealer adds maximum coverage and blends SO well! I usually dab a bit on my brush and then dip with water to give it a creamier effect and for it to blend better. I’m actually on my second container already so that tells you in only a few months how much I use it!
Ingredients: Organic Castor Oil, Mica, Wildcrafted Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) Wax, Organic Simmondsia Chinsis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Castor Wax, Iron Oxides, Kaolin, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Oleoresin, Organic Olea Europaea (Olive) Oil, Organic Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, Zinc Oxide (Non-Nano), Organic Maranta Arledinacea
Au Natuale Notes: If you’ve been waiting for a mineral concealer in a smooth creme form, then look no further. Au Naturale’s creme concealers come in an array of colors sure to match every skin tone. Our creme concealers work as a color corrector and eye shadow base. Apply creme concealer product with your concealer brush using gentle brush strokes as not to irritate your sensitive eye area or blemishes.
Lipstick
Colour: Innocence
This was the first ever natural lipstick I tried and I love it! Thanks to the Avocado butter and Avocado Oil the texture is exactly like other lipsticks but there no nasties in the formula so you don’t have to worry about licking your lips with this lipstick on. This colour is very soft and neutral and can definitely be worn as an everyday make-up staple. I love pairing it with some of my other more vibrant colours to achieve a more subtle colour.
Ingredients: Organic Castor Oil, Organic Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Butter, Limnanthes Alba (Meadowfoam) Seed Oil, Wildcrafted Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) Wax, Organic Sesamum Indicum (Sesame) Oil; Hydorgenated Castor Oil, Organic Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Butter, Organic Macadamia (Macadamia) Nut Oil, Iron Oxides, Mica, Kaolin
Au Naturale’s Notes: Au Naturale’s lipsticks are rich in pigment and boast a nourishing formula infused with organic oil, and free of lead, bismuth oxychloride, carmine, gluten, and nano-particles. Our lipsticks nourish with organic avocado oil, moisturize with organic coca butter, and repair skin health with organic macadamia nut oil. Au Naturale lipsticks noticeably improves skin health while providing long lasting, naturally beautiful color.
Powder Blush
Colour: Plum
My FAVE blush. This blush is so light weight and blends into the skin so nicely you can even wear it on a freshly washed face with no other makeup. Of course I wear it for all kinds of occasions and it always gives me that fresh rosey glow that I really love!
Ingredients: mica, zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, and iron oxides
Au Naturale’s Notes: Au Naturale blushers are created from refined minerals that are sifted into a light powders for a smooth finish. Our blushers can be applied with a kabuki or blush brush for an effortless application.
Crème Blush
Colour: Rose
I really enjoy using this crème blush when going out to events, parties and weddings. It really adds to a dramatic look and blends so nicely into the skin. The Rose colour is quite vibrant so a little goes a long way. This crème blush also works nicely as a lip tint, but I’d suggest pairing with a soothing and moisturizing lip balm!
Ingredients: Organic Limnanthes Alba (Meadowfoam) Seed Oil, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (Fractionated Coconut Oil), Organic Castor Oil, Mica, Wildcrafted Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) Wax, Organic Simmondsia Chinsis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Castor Wax, Tapioca Starch, Iron Oxides, Kaolin
