i’ve been using the same makeup for what seems like years; each time i run out i quickly purchase the same foundation, mascara etc. while i have some very tried and true products i also love to try new natural beauty brands, especially with bath and body and skincare. (i also have a slight obsession with trying new lipstick shades, there are just so many out there!) beauty products also make wonderful gift ideas. it’s those things that lots of us probably wouldn’t splurge on ourselves but are always happy to receive. shop my current faves via the links above!

Queen Bee Trading Co skincare from Etsy

January 25, 2016 by Angela

over the past few years i’ve transitioned to using mostly natural skincare and beauty products, and while it was a struggle to find product with minimal ingredients at first, i’m so grateful for the amazing brands that have become staples in my routine! one of my favorite places to experiment with new products is etsy (for just about anything). although you need to always read your labels and check your sources when you buy from anywhere, at least you can know that etsy is a place that many small businesses and ethical companies thrive. one of my all time favorite shops is queen bee trading co from here in the US.

Sweet shop: deco naturals

May 13, 2015 by Angela

Stumbled upon this natural beauty brand deco naturals on Instagram yesterday. They’re a conscious luxury beauty company with bath soaks and face masks and a clean minimal product packaging design. Here are a few of their lovely offerings…

cocoa + rose bath milk, $32

blood orange + grapefruit bath soak, $28

lemon + sea clay mask, $26

Their products are handmade in Michigan using natural (mostly vegan) ingredients and packaged in little glass jars (very cool considering how many eco-beauty brands still use plastic in their packaging). Intrigued by the bath soaks myself! Find them on their website + Instagram.
