what i'm loving now: 100% Pure Tinted Moisturizer

it's not hard to believe that 100% Pure's Tinted Moisturizer is made with such nourishing ingredients-- the name of the brand tells it all. what is hard for me to believe is that all of the ingredients come from fruits and nature's most fabulous sources!

this tinted spf 20 skin protectant uses fruits including peach, carrot, cocoa beans, and pomegranate (just to name a few) to add pigment, and treats skin with white tea, aloe juice, acai oil and vitamin C. the formula offers sheer coverage that can be built up to be a medium coverage, but don't rely on this hide anything major.

i have been using this in Toffee both under, and sometimes over, my regular foundation. i love the smooth texture it gives my skin! it's just the right color for me right now, but i figure come summer, that might not be the case. it's a dewy finish, but never greasy-- perfect for my oily skin.

100% Pure Fruit Pigmented Tinted Moisturizer is 100% natural, 100 % vegetarian and gluten free. visit 100percentpure.com for more info.

100% Pure Cosmetics- Eye Shadow Palette

When I first learned about 100% PURE cosmetics from Meg's Makeup (where else would I learn about the latest and greatest brands?), I was intrigued by their concept. Making cosmetics from fruit pigments? I wasn't quite sure how it would work... but t

So when I discovered the brand at a local store, I was psyched! Their body collection looks to die-for. Why? They offer delicious pomegranate, chocolate, strawberries, peach and more flavors in their sugar scrubs, lotions and body washes. Their simple packaging also makes it look very clean and fresh. I haven't tried them though, but if they're all natural.. must be good.

The Cosmetics are also a bit pricey than what I would pay per single item right now. I have way too much in my collection, so I cannot justify spending $14 for a single eye shadow pot even though I really want to try this creamy formula! I did go back after a few months and the tester still looked pretty nice- so I know it will last longer than I expect.



What caught my eye was their sets and palettes. They had a Chocolate lip palette, a Pretty Naked palette (neutral shades) and gift sets with brushes/eyeshadows/face powder and more! In addition, they had this lovely Plum Eyeshadow set.

If you don't know already, purple is going to be hot this fall. Whether you're rocking the violet on your nails (stay tuned for my Fall Nail trend article) or clothing, this Plum palette has enough neutral and plum shades to wear everyday. What pleasantly surprised me the most is that the color stays! At first, I thought the colors would be too sheer, but the trick is to pat the colors on your eyelids. Obviously the lighter shades don't show as well, but they make great highlighters under the eyebrows.



Looks like this palette is discontinued, but I definitely recommend seeking out and trying to get this if you can!

Their Cosmetic line also includes mascara, lip/cheek tints, tinted moisturizers, powder, cheek pots, and lipsticks!! I would buy everything if I could! :)

Happy Earth Day! Lancome Celebrates with an Organic Lip Gloss and Tee Giveaway!

Hello Divas!

Happy Happy Earth Day!

What are you doing to save energy and preserve the earth?  Well my family is recycling and being energy efficient by not using the AC and keeping our lights and energy burning television off.  If my kids' school was not too far, we would walk to school too! LOL!

I know I talk about  Lancôme a lot, but I can't help it!  I LOVE their products and they support many worthwhile causes.  So in honor of Earth Day,  Lancôme has partnered with Lancôme spokesmodel and environmentalist Elettra Wiedemann’s charity, Justonefrickinday.com.  This charity is dedicated to unifying and concentrating available resources onto a small number of special charity projects around the world.  Please consider going to the website and calculate one day of your pay and donate it to this organization.  Your donation will be used to fund projects that provide sustainable power to some of the world's poorest countries.  You can also purchase a limited edition T-Shirt created by designers who have partnered with Justonefrickinday.com.  House of Deihl, Rag & Bone, Giambattista Valli, Rogan, Chris Benz (love him!) and Phillip Lim have all created Tees to support this effort.

To kick of this partnership and to celebrate preservation of our Earth,  Lancôme is offering one Luxetips reader a tube of Lancôme new Juicy Tubes 100% Natural Origins lip gloss and a limited edition T-Shirt created by the above-mentioned designers.  They are also graciously sending me out a tube of Juicy Tubes 100% Natural Origins and a Tee as well.  Sweeeeeeeet!

Rag and Bone Tee                                                                       House of Diehl Tee

Juicy Tubes 100% Naural Origins lip gloss is just that 100% natural and a key ingredient is Hungarian honey!  And if you know me, you know that I am a honey fanatic!   Lancôme released this new Juicy Tube in celebration of Juicy Tubes 10th Anniversary and right in time for Earth Day!

Simply leave a message on this blog letting us know what you are doing to preserve energy on Earth Day.  The Winner will be announced on Sunday April 25th at midnight.

Toodles!

100% Pure Cosmetics

Recently made a drugstore trip and found the 100% Pure Cosmetics line available! They didn't have their Fruit Pigmented cosmetics.. which is something I really want!

These two shelves carried the body scrubs in assorted flavors ($22 US) and gift sets (price varies).



The bottom two shelves carried the Nourishing Body Cream ($17 US) and Shower Gel ($15).
