Sorry for the hiatus, I went on a long, much needed vacation and finally found the time to write again. It was nice to be in nature and with people I've missed for a very long time. This trip gave me a lot to reflect upon. Given how expensive the vacation was, I had to cancel my Esthoria Box subscription and this is my last box.
June's theme is Tata Harper skin care. Everyone received the Allure winning Regenerating Cleanser, I chose the Replenishing Nutrient Complex, and I received the Corpa Flora Beauté Divine (all skin types cleanser).
The Regenerating Cleanser is my favourite product by far. It's a gentle exfoliating cleanser that's supposed to improve the glow and appearance of your skin. I have always washed my face with a traditional foaming cleanser and water. With this cleanser you apply to dry skin, massage in circular motions, then rinse off with water. My skin has improved so much. I have less oil production and my acne is going away. I love how there are no soaps, alcohols, and detergents but it still smells so good. My skin feels so soft and doesn't feel stripped after using the cleanser. I love this cleanser so much, i definitely recommend it!
The Replenishing Nutrient Complex is a multivitamin serum that moisturizes, repairs, and soothes your skin. For me it's a bit too oily so I use it by itself at night as a moisturizer. A little goes a long way! I didn't like it that much at first but after 2 weeks of using it, I adore it. I didn't realize what bad shape my skin was until I saw it getting better. During the trip, the hotel a/c and plane ride really dried and imbalanced my skin so this serum was perfect.
I've gotten on the bandwagon on facial oil cleansers. I've tried a couple and they're a fast way to remove all the makeup and guck off of your face. The Corpa Flora Beauté Divine oil cleanser did not disappoint. It's a rich oil that glides over the skin effortlessly. Be sure to take the time to gently massage the oil all over the face and eyes to break down the makeup, sunscreen, etc... Once you rinse it becomes a gentle milk and I was so happy that my skin was soft, not greasy. A very good oil cleanser that really does remove everything. Try it if you haven't already!
When I started my green journey, the two companies I wanted to try the most were RMS Beauty and Tata Harper. Due to the hefty price tags, I wasn't able to try them out. Thanks to Esthoria Box, I was able to try them at a reasonable price. I've always had a pleasant experience dealing with Sandy and the rest of the Esthoria Box team. I wish them all the best and can't wait to see what they come up with. Keep up the green living revolution!
September's box will feature products from Vapour Beauty. I've heard many great things about this company and wish I could've tried them. Alas, sometimes your can't get everything you want in life.
What kinds of green beauty brands and products do you love?
