Natural Mineral Concealer Stick - Can't Live Without It.

Guest Blogger:  Pam Koskinen 

Do you know that one thing (or maybe more than one thing) in your makeup collection that you just can't live without?  

Well, I've found a new favorite recently ~ Eve Organics' Concealer Stick!  It is fantastic!

I've tried many different concealers.  I used one brand for about 2 years until I tried using Eve Organics' Concealer Stick late last year.  I must say this one by far beats them all! 

I love how easy it is to apply - you just roll it over your imperfection and work it in with your fingertips.  That's it ~ you're done.  So simple.  The coverage is amazing and blends perfectly with Eve Organics Foundations.  Jojoba oil is a main ingredient, which makes these concealers perfect for under your eyes too. 

If you haven't tried their new concealer sticks, you should.  You won't be disappointed.

Introducing Eve Organics' "Neopolitan" Collection

Introducing . . . the long awaited Neopolitan collection!

The Eyeshadows:  Bubbles, Glam and Stormy.  Colors that can be worn by anybody.  Bubbles is beautiful as an eyeshadow or blush.  Glam is more gold than in the picture.  Very translucent when applied and shimmery.  Stormy is a beautiful slate gray matte.  Perfect for the crease when more drama is wanted for a "statement."

The Lip Glosses:  Bubblegum, Tawny and Miami Sunrise.  Bubblegum is the sister color to Bubbles; a beautiful "Barbie" pink.  Tawny is a beautiful nude color with less pink in it than the "Cool Nude" gloss.  Miami Sunrise is an awesome coral color.  It looks fantastic with any skin tone, and even mature skin!

Let us know what you think of the new collection.  We are so excited for 2011!

Lip Plumper Before and After

Ok, everyone.  I've been getting so many questions about Eve Organics Lip Plumper after I posted the bodacious lips tips.

• Does it work?
• What's in it?

Well, to answer the second question first, the base for our lip plumper is the same as our other lip glosses.  So, the basic ingredients are:

Castor oil, organic coconut oil, sunbleached beeswax, castor wax, soybean oil, vitamin e, and therapeutic grade essential oil of sweet orange.

Then, we add vegan hyaluronic acid (derived from fermented yeast).  Hyaluronic acid has a unique ability to hold more than 1000 ml of water per gram of hyaluronic acid, which is a key factor in allowing the skin to retain more water.  Amazingly, hyaluronic acid adjusts its moisture absorption based on the relative humidity in the air.  It is the ideal ingredient in skin care products as it adjusts to the skin’s need for a moisturizing effect depending on the relative humidity of seasons and climate of an area.  Hyaluronic acid also protects the epidermis by scavenging reactive oxygen species generated by ultra violet light which would normally cause sunspots.

Lastly, we and a mixture of essential oils that help to plump: cinnamon, ginger, helichrysm, anise, lemon and basil.

Now, for the proof in the pudding.  I actually took a before and after of myself (to show the real results on a real person!) using the steps in our bodacious lips post.  Now for the reveal. . .  drum roll please . . .

My lips before.  As you can see, I am losing the color in my lips.  I used to have plump upper lips, but the poof is going away.  Age has a funny way of doing that.

 

 

 

Here are my lips after.  I just followed the steps I posted earlier as the Bodacious Lips Tips.  You can exaggerate them as much as you want;

I wanted them to look natural, but full.  I used Bronze Babe lipliner and filled in my lips with the liner.  Then, just added plumper on top.  However, I did make the plumper go over the top lip line for a few minutes before wiping it off that area with a q-tip.

So, ladies . . . judge for youself.  I think we have a good thing here!

The New Product Winner IS . . .

Look for our newest addition to our product lineup . . . Super Hydrating Body Butter.  We're whipping up a batch now and it should be online next month! 

Pictures will come soon.  Everyone testing it out is addicted!!!!

The texture is an extremely thick butter.  (A little goes a long way with this butter.  It lasts a long time).

Breathe Better This Cold and Flu Season ~ Make Your Own Vapor Rub

This year's cold and flu season is upon us.  That said, it is inevitable that someone close to you (maybe even you) will have some form of a cold or flu in the near future.

By blending therapeutic grade essential oils and either inhaling them through a vapor rub (recipe below) or massaging them into the skin through a carrier oil, cold, flu and minor respiratory infection symptoms can be lessened.

Use approximately 10 drops total of essential oils per 4 Tablespoons of carrier oil (such as grapeseed, sesame, jojoba or olive).  If you are making this mixture for a child, only use 1 drop per 4 Tablespoons carrier oil.

Check Out Our New Lipsticks!

We've added safe lipsticks to our line of mineral makeup products and they're finally on the website!  As with all of Eve Organicsproducts, our lipsticks are completely free of all dyes, petrochemicals, fillers, phthalates, parabens, fragrance, talc, bismuth and synthetic chemicals.  Our lipsticks are also vegan and gluten/wheat free.

The lipstick pigments compliment a natural makeup look.  They look a smidgen lighter on the lips than they do in the tube.  When applied, the color is more of a stain than bright, jump out at you color.  To achieve brighter colors, dyes would need to be added to the formula.  This would compromise our mission, so we choose not to do it. They are beautiful colors. . . Try one! 

Ingredients:  Cocoa Butter, Candelilla Wax, Castor Oil, Meadowfoam Seed Oil, Sesame Oil, Avocado Butter, Macademia Nut Oil, Vitamin E (rice- based), Mica, Iron Oxides, Titanium Dioxide, may contain Manganese Violet.
