Congratulations to you, Miss Sarah!  I hope that you love Lily's organic skin care products as much as I have and trust me, you'll be just as impressed as I if they work equally as well on your skin as they have on mine! 
They last for quite a long time, I got the little sample sized cleanser, toner, moisturizer and mask to try and I have yet to run out of any of them.  I would love it if you would let your girl here know how you liked the products that are included in the gift basket.

I would like to say a huge and very sincere "Thank You!" to all those who entered this giveaway!  I appreciate each one of my readers, followers and subscribers a very great deal!
I would also like to throw in a second huge "Thank You!" to Lily and Dana from Lily Organics, because they were both just sweet as pie and I enjoyed being able to try their products so much!

Juice Beauty SPF Mineral Moisturizer Review and Giveaway!

Photobucket

I think by now most of you already know this, but for those of you who may be new I'll say it again.  I love organic beauty products and organic skin care products!  I was so excited to try Juice Beauty products, because even though I do already use organic skin care products it's safe to say that I have never used anything quite like this before.  Unless you are already a Juice Beauty product owner, it's probably safe to say that you haven't used anything like this before either.

You're probably wondering what is so unique or different about the Juice Beauty brand.  It's actually pretty obvious when you think about it, but I really didn't make the connection until I read the ingredient list.  It is made with a juice base!  That's right, you did read that correctly, I said it's made with juice.  Maybe you have heard of that before, but I know that I have not.

PhotobucketI was given the SPF 30 Mineral Light Moisturizer to try.  It comes in three shades.  I, of course, had to get the light because of my extremely light skin tone.  I don't like tinted moisturizers, I don't use them honestly.  So I did not use this product as a tinted moisturizer, but it could most definitely be used as such if you're comfortable doing so.  I use it either as a moisturizer or after my regular moisturizer for the added SPF benefit.  I love the way it smells and the way it makes my skin feel.  SPF is always a good thing to use anyway, and if it comes in the form of a really awesome moisturizer that will also help to even out your skin tone before you use foundation then that's great!  If you can also use it as a tinted moisturizer then that's great as well.  Everyone loves a triple threat, right?
The SPF Mineral Moisturizer is made with an organic juice solution of apple, white grape and pomegranate juices and also contains other organic plant oil extracts as well as vitamins.  It truly is good for your skin.  When you're using a Juice Beauty product you can be sure that you're only using the best organic ingredients on your skin, and since your skin absorbs up to 64% of what you place on it that is a good thing for sure!

My Lip Stuff Review and Giveaway

Photobucket

I love beauty products, make-up and pretty much anything like that.  I especially love natural, organic, eco-friendly and cruelty free items.  So when I read about My Lip Stuff I knew I just had to try their product.  So I e-mailed Brea, the owner and creator of My Lip Stuff, and she was nice enough to ship me out some products to try.  She was so sweet, and offered to let me host a giveaway for some of her products as well.

I've honestly never seen such a selection of lip balms in my entire life.  They have over 400 flavors!  I was so excited to try the ones that Brea picked out for me.  So when the little package arrived here at the house, I quickly opened it, read the labels and applied the Rainbow Sherbet flavored lip balm to my lips, after smelling it of course.  I was pleasantly surprised that it did in fact smell exactly like Rainbow Sherbet!  I quickly found out that it tasted amazing as well.  I was really intrigued when I found out that Jennifer Garner uses it!  My Lip Stuff has been featured in several different magazines, and is a friend of PETA business. 

I was afraid that the lip balm was going to be that sticky, gross, thick gloss that feels weird and annoys me to no end.  It's not like that at all though.  It's buttery, goes on smooth and makes my lips feel so soft!  I'm a lip balm junkie, and I use it at least six times a day, that's the low end of average for me.  The sticky stuff really annoys me though, and I can not tell you how many times I have bought lip balm and it has turned out to actually be sticky, thick, ill smelling lip gloss that gets all over everything.  I have been using My Lip Stuff for the past week and have put all my other tubes, containers and tiny little jars away.  It truly is an amazing product.  If you're like me and hate that sticky, gross lip gunk that they have the nerve to market as lip balm then this is the product for you, for sure.  Even if you're just looking for an organic lip balm or if you are interested in using cruelty free beauty products, then I suggest this lip balm to you! 

Brea is a person with a wonderful vision, and she runs a company dedicated to leaving the smallest carbon footprint possible, and I really respect that!  I live by the saying "reuse, reduce and recycle" so it makes sense that I would support a company like My Lip Stuff.  Here is an excerpt from her website that I found particularly inspiring:
My Lip Stuff's ultimate mission is to end the suffering of people with chapped lips all across the land. In the process, we strive to end animal testing and save the environment with chemical-free natural products!
My Lip Stuff's products are NEVER tested on animals & contain natural (from the earth) ingredients that are skin loving. Our products do NOT contain any harsh ingredients- and NEVER contain petroleum or mineral oil! We also do what we can by using recycled (and recyclable) materials whenever possible, and even using "green power" (power from renewable resources such as wind, water, or landfill gases).
In the end, We strive to create a natural product made from only the highest quality ingredients, with the least amount of impact on the environment and its inhabitants, for the lowest possible price.







They will also customize your labels for your business, baby shower, wedding, bridal shower and bridesmaid luncheon, bachelorette party, birthday party, holidays and pretty much anything else you could possibly want a personalized lip gloss label for!






** Buy It **

Are you interested in buying and using natural and cruelty free beauty products?  Then My Lip Stuff is the place for you!  They have over 400 amazing flavors of lip balm, including my favorites Shamrock Shake and Rainbow Sherbet, as well as their Booze Balm and Voodoo Balm collections.  You can also check out their list of flavors which range from After Dinner Mint to Zombie flavors.  That's not all though, because they also sell body butter, whipped body butter, bath salts and much more!  You can also join their lip balm of the month club, which would be a super fun gift for anyone you know who is a lip balm lover!  My only regret?  That I haven't tried the zombie flavor...yet!

** Win It! **

Brea was kind enough to offer one of my very lucky readers a 6 pack of her amazingly buttery lip balm in various flavors!  Be sure to leave your e-mail address in your comments so that I will be able to contact you if you win!
