Aubrey Organics Review

Recently I have been looking for a more natural alternative to hair care and skin care. I have recently been using a lot of products from The Body Shop. I know there are a lot of you out there who really enjoy their products- but for me, I felt as though they would sell me on this "natural" idea about their products, but when I would use them, I felt as though they were very strong. I dont particularly have sensitive skin- but something about how they were reacting with my body made me think that maybe they werent as "Natural" as I once thought.

I found out about www.cosmeticsdatabase.com/ and I was really shocked about what I found.... All the products I have been putting on skin had so many chemicals in them that are known to cause cancer, hormonal shifts and imbalances, and lots more. This doesnt worry you at all? Think of a Nicotine Patch and how EASILY our body absorbs it through our skin.

I had heard about Aubrey organics through the youtube beauty community and decided to give it a try.

And guess what?! I can read, pronounce, understand and am familiar with ALL-- ABSOLUTELY ALL of the ingredients found in their products. You know whats even better? The products actually really work!



I cannot get over how amazing this conditioner smells! I could lather myself in this all day. I bought this conditioner for Dry and Brittle hair thinking that it really wouldnt moisturize as much as I would like since its all natural, but boy was I wrong. My hair not only smelled amazing- but it was also soft- shiny- and highly conditioned. I had put so much on my roots that the next day my hair was already super oily :| Gahhh, I gotta get a handle on it!


The moisturizer that I chose by accident was for Normal Skin. Great :( I have super oily skin and I thought that this would be wayy too much for me. How my face stays Matte all day and soft to the touch when I use this is beyond me.
I highly recommend this product.

Used this in the shower while I was shaving my legs and whatnot and it felt amazing! There seems to be a slight warming sensation on the skin.
(and when I mean slight, I mean slight. I dont mean how the drugstore brands say 'slight' and then youre running to the sink to wash FIRE off your skin)

-----------
These are just some of the products I have been using from them recently and that Im loving! I also have a soothing oatmeal mask I have yet to try, and a makeup remover that I use everyday. It seems to be a blend of different oils and gets rid of makeup so easily and leaves my tender eye area soft.

I buy my Aubrey Organics at  www.vitacost.com
Very affordable! At the end of the day, nothing is more important than your health. If youre going to be spending $$ on all that fake shit out there- might as well make the switch and spend your money on the good shit.

What a treat!


















I got my new bag in yesterday apparently (no one told me anything!) and saw it this morning when I arrived at my home to get ready for work. I purchased it earlier in the week from www.charlotterusse.com and am very surprised how quickly it shipped. :) PS: Purchased that necklace from forever21. It just seemed to fit my mood this morning, but im really digging it for more dressed up looks too.



Earlier in the week I also purchased this bar soap from a company called "Pangea Organics".
Thats actually the exact one that I ordered off Ebay (Olive Oil and Coconut). Im pretty excited to get it simply because Ive been watching so many youtube videos about these products and I really want to see if what they describe to be the "pangea experience" is true or not. They are a great company from what I have seen so far, just a bit pricey. I got my soap off Ebay for around $10 with shipping. They have a facial scrub that I would absolutely LOVE to purchase, but that shit is straight up around $30. I dont know if I can make up ANY lie to justify that amount of money spent on a facial cleanser (especially since Im big into making my own sugar facial scrubs and cleansers, for Free.)

Skin Food purchase last night!


So last night my boyfriend throws call of duty on just was we're getting into bed (modern warfare) and I have shoveled off onto the computer corner. I really just wanted to watch tv and relax but hes just been OBSESSED because it just came out and its one of his top fav video games. I started surfing the Ebayz and just to get me out of his hair (im sure) he reassured me it would be a good idea to buy these products I have been eyeing for quite some time. Needless to say, I did it, and I only feel somewhat guilty for spending more money this pay period.

SKIN FOOD'S PEACH SAKE TONER!!! Yaaayyyyy and Mushroom BB Cream!!!! :D
I really want the whole peach skincare line but its just too much money for me right now.

I REAAALLYYY also wanted to purchase one of their power compacts! They have serious SPF and can I just say how fucking cute do they look!?




I will most likely post something about them once I start using them. I cant wait... Maybe... If I use enough of this shit, I might turn Korean :D

Skin Food?


Ok, Korean skincare - awesome. With that being said, I have stumbled upon skin food. There are lots and lots of youtubers and beauty bloggers that go on and on about their BB cream. BB stands for Blemish Balm and apparently it originated in Germany. It was created by dermatologists to help patients that have gone through laser skin surgery, to soothe and regenerate their skin.

Then it seems like korean celebrities got their hand on the stuff and a craze was born! Ive read rave reviews on the stuff and probably am going to grab myself one on Ebay since it seems to be the cheapest way of getting a hold on the stuff. A lot of retailers online sell it for $20+ whereas you can grab a bottle (most cases free shipping) for $11. You use it like a foundation- its got SPF protection and tons of great natural extracts to feed your skin (they have 3 diff BB creams with diff properties).

Has anyone used any other of their products?

They have a wide array of skincare products that look amazing, but I dont know anyone who has used them.
Are you out there?!

PS: Have you seen their commercials?! THEYRE FUCKING DELICIOUS.
