Happy Sunday!
I seriously have to admit right now that it’s been so nice to enjoy the outdoors the past few days especially after the crazy rainstorm we had here on Wednesday (due to aftermath of hurricane patricia). I find after a storm, a bit of rain, a gloomy day.. everyone really appreciates the next couple days of sunshine. More than normal. We all try to get out in fear that it will be taken away from us again! I guess it’s a good thing. The sun gives us much needed Vitamin D, which we tend to lack quite a bit in the North during winter time. Did you know we absorb Vitamin D through the suns rays, directly into our skin. That’s why it’s best that you allow you skin to be exposed, safely, for 15-20 minutes to get that daily dose of this important vitamin. Annnnnnnd speaking of skin! I’ll be starting a new ‘series’ here for my monthly faves in the world of Natural Beauty!
I mentioned recently that I’ll be dedicating Sundays to beauty posts so I thought I’d dedicate the last Sunday of every month to showcase some of the products I’ve actually been using during the month and really loving. A lot of beauty bloggers do this on their YouTube channels and I really enjoy watching them.. Perhaps I’ll get there too but for now! I’ll be sharing my beauty faves each month right on here! With lots of (hopefully) captivating photos and of course details on all the products I love. So! Since it’s Sunday and it’s the last of the month..(kind of…. hehe) we’re going to start now!
My October Faves
Sea Foam Facial Sponges
I use these almost every night with my facial cleansing oils and soaps to get a bit of a deeper cleanse. They’re non-abrasive so you can use them daily as they’re not too harsh on the skin. You can get some of these awesome scrubbies from Graydon!
Cara’s All Natural Products Measha’s Body Butter
Hands down, this is my all time favourite natural beauty product ever. If I were stranded on a desert island and only had one beauty item to bring it would be this body butter. I seriously want to bottle the scent and wear it as a perfume. It’s amazing. Oh, and of course it’s awesome on the skin! Very very hydrating.
Shiva’s Delight Ambrosia Facial Serum
At first glance, this facial serum was a lot deeper and darker toned than any other facial oil I own. I was worried that it would appear a bit more orrang-y on the face but it’s actually quite sheer and very moisturizing. I like to apply this along with any foundation I might be using to give my face a bit more of a dewy look.
Shiva’s Delight Occular (Eye) Serum
I was never one for eye creams and specialty products and all that.. but as I do get older, year by year.. I have to start thinking about long term effects! This ocular serum is really great, smells pretty, absorbs into the skin rather quickly and really helps make your eyes look a bit brighter and more alive!
Au Naturale Organic Blush
Bah! My favourite blush yet! I really love the tone of this blush (it’s called Plum), it’s so perfect for Fall and Winter. It’s quite pigmented so a little goes a long way but that’s great as the product is going to last you an even longer period of time!
100% Pure Black Tea Mascara
Ok. So I saved the best for last.. well kind of. I mean, all these products are the best but in terms of Mascara. I’ve never used anything like it! I’m obsessed. It smells delicious and fruity, it applies perfectly, nice and fine, no clumps. It’s the best day wear mascara ever.
Wow! That’s a lot of products! But I really do love them all and pretty much used these every day in October. I hope you guys enjoyed!
Let me know if you like this series and if there’s any products you want to know more about or want to see featured on here!
