A handwritten thank you for my purchase, now who doesn't love that!
Recently I switched to safer products in my daily skincare and beauty routine. It never crossed my mind to read labels or research ingredients. Like many of you, if I saw a product on a celebrity, model, TV commercial, or magazine ad I would more than likely go out and purchase it (within reason of course). After learning some important and astonishing facts about the beauty industry, I was shocked! Hence my 'Switch to Safer' attitude and new & improved self-care regimen. I could go on and on but for now let's talk nail polish. I was recommended Mischo Beauty by my friend Melanie and after reading up on the product and it's creator Kitiya Mischo King I was sold. Mischo nail lacquer is 8 FREE, which means it contains NO Formaldehyde, NO Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP), NO Toluene, NO Xylene, NO Formaldehyde Resin, NO Camphor, NO Ethyl Tosylamide, and NO parabens. Mischo is also Vegan and Cruelty Free. The formula is long lasting and comes in the most beautiful on-trend colors! I just want to take a moment to acknowledge the fantastic customer service. My post office never delivered my package, and in fact they lost it, then found it, never re-delivered to me, and finally sent it back to Mischo Beauty. I emailed Mischo Beauty and Kitiya quickly wrote back. She was so kind, apologized (even though it was clearly not her fault), and kept me posted when she received my package. She offered to send it back to any address I choose, she then re-sent it at no charge to me. The package was beautifully wrapped with a handwritten thank you! I was so grateful especially in this digital day and age to receive such wonderful customer service. You can check out the entire line here. As always, thank you for stopping by!
Korres Skincare & Makeup feature over 400 natural and/or certified organic products. I personally own a few and wanted to share my thoughts with you. My most recent purchase was the Korres 3 Step Prep with Quercetin & Oak. This set consists of a face primer, eye primer, and under eye concealer. Both primers have a cream like consistency and go on smoothly and easily. You can slightly smell the botanicals, especially in the face primer. The under eye concealer is now one of my faves (thanks to my genetics, I'm always searching for the latest & greatest in concealers). It can be applied with a concealer brush or your finger (I like to start with a brush and finish with my finger). I love the coverage, goes on smoothly, can be layered if needed. I also dab a little on the sides of my nose as well as any blemishes I may have going on at the time. The best part of these three products is that they are all anti-aging! Other Korres products I own & use regularly are the Mineral Foundation with SPF 30 and the Mineral Illuminating Powder. The Foundation comes in powder form and includes a sponge applicator (I like to dab it on with the sponge and finish with a brush). This foundation is perfect if you're looking for medium to light coverage, can be layered if needed, and does not feel caked-on or heavy. The Illuminating Powder is perfect to highlight the cheek bones as well as nose-bridge, and temporal areas, I especially like this product for an evening out. If you're looking for a perfect pink lip that you can wear day & night, try the Cherry Lip Gloss. You can find Korres at your local Sephora, as well as on the web at Beauty.com, or their very own site Korres.com.
