Nature's Gate- Papaya Velvet Moisture Body Wash

One of my favorite HG products from the PrettyCity.com Green and Gorgeous event in June, is Nature Gate's Papaya Velvet Moisture Body Wash. How I never discovered this brand before is beyond me because they offer an extensive line of hair, oral, skin and even acne care with natural ingredients. I am going to check out my local Whole Foods next week to stock up!

The product I received in my PrettyCity.com goodie bag was the Papaya Body Wash. It comes in a pump, which is my favorite thing now (can't bother with flipping lids anymore, when I just do one pump and get my product) and the formula is amazing. It has a light citrus scent and leaves your body feeling soft and clean. Its formulated with papaya extracts to brighten dull skin, sweet almond oil for the great scent, and apricot kernel oil for moisturizing. This is paraben-free and vegan!! It's liquid-y, not gel-like at all, and when used with a shower pouf, it creates a luxurious lather. Available at drugstore.com for $7.49 US.

I couldn't help but browse the other Nature's Gate products on the drugstore.com, which is where you would have to get this unless your local health store carries this brand.
Some products I am interested in are:
- Glow Lotion Light- tinted moisturizer for a healthy, daily glow!

- Henna Shine Enhancing Shampoo for shiny hair!

- Lemongrass and Clary Sage Shampoo for enhanced volume and a boost!

- and of course, the Papaya Moisturizing Lotion, which got great reviews on TotalBeauty.com too!

Zakia's Argan Oil Shampoo

I received Zakia's Argan Oil Revitalizing Cream Shampoo from my Meg's Makeup gift package in February, and knew I had to share this product with my readers.

The Argan oil in the shampoo is moisturizing and it left my hair feeling soft and luxurious. Since I have been blow-drying my hair often since I have no time to let it air-dry anymore, I feel that my hair has been more frizzy and damaged from the heat. The Argan Oil coated the ends of my frizzies but left my hair feeling oily during the "second-day" after washing. If your hair is oily, I don't recommend you to use this everyday. I use this once every two weeks to mix up my shampoo routine and to moisturize my hair.

Product Review: Frederic Fekkai Au Naturel Shampoo

I recently tried a sample of the Frederic Fekkai Au Naturel Shampoo. On Sephora's website, it says it is a "natural hair purifier." I expected it to be a clear shampoo, since I read somewhere before that usually clear shampoos are more clarifying. Regardless, I gave it a try and wasn't in love with it. My hair felt a bit slick even after washing, and I even used another quarter-size drop just to try to make it feel less oily. However, my hair feels really soft. (Could it be the essential oil and organic ingredients?)
