Pretty Up Your Summer Place

Friday, July 20th, 2012

Summer homes provide a much-needed retreat for rest and relaxation, so it only makes sense to upgrade them with a few smart, seasonal beauty buys. Think: delicate candles to help unwind after a long day at the beach, bath salts by the tub for after dinner treat, and pretty soaps to impress your guests.
Here, a few of our favorite finds for inspiration:

Green Girl Soy Candle in Pure Lavender, $9

Pure, pesticide-free soy provides the perfect base for these slow-burning scentsations. They’re affordably priced so you can stock up and scatter throughout the house. We’re huge fans of the Lavender – it’s the perfect fragrance to sweetly lull you into mellow, post-beach bliss.

Baby Bear Baby Bird Soap, $9

Isn’t this just the sweetest? Yes, it’s intended for super-sensitive baby skin, but the adorable bird design is too cute not to put on display. Oils of palm, coconut, aloe vera, and lavender combine to create a delightfully decadent and mega-moisturizing treat for sun-worn hands.

Priti Deep Rosemary and Mint Organic Bath Soak, $24

Every summer home bathroom should be stocked with these rosemary and mint scented bath salts. The packaging is display-ready gorgeous and the revitalizing scent is just the treat to freshen up after some serious swim time.

Wedding Beauty Bag Unpacked: 3 Products You Need Now

Friday, June 29th, 2012

Cut the cake and cue the reception band – time for wedding season! Whether you’re exchanging vows, getting fitted for a bridesmaid’s dress, or just remembering to mail in your RSVPs, we’ve pulled together a few products to say “I do” to before you hit the summer wedding circuit.

Tone, Def
Want a beauty-full way to calm your nuptial nerves? We love Kimberly Sayer’s Organic Lavender Toner ($28). The formula, comprised exclusively of purified water-steamed lavender flowers, is totally free of skin irritating chemicals. Try a quick hit of this relaxing and revitalizing product before applying your bridal “face” – it’s the scentsible thing to do!

Tan Slam
Mastering the right shade of bronze as to appear gorgeously glowing without looking over-baked is an art. We can’t get enough of 100% Pure’s Cocoa Pigmented Bronzer ($25). Natural ingredients (read: cocoa, tomato, coffee, and berry) combine to create the most spot-on shade of sun-kissed.

Mint Condition
Between final fittings and attending to last minute details, squeezing in some much-desired tub time may seem as unrealistic as expecting to control the wedding day weather. To help sway you into some serious de-stressing, we suggest Priti’s Deep Rosemary and Mint Organic Bath Soak ($24). The invigorating blend soothes muscles and provides deep aromatherapy to boot.

So Fresh and So Green: 3 New Trends to Try This Spring

Spring forward – ‘tis the season for pretty pastels, naturally gorgeous glows, and softer hues. We’ve researched the top spring beauty trends and put a gorgeously green spin on our favorite trends to try. Here, our favorite picks and the products you need to score the style.
The Look: Soft, flushed cheeks

There’s nothing green or glam about caked-on rouge, which is why we’re psyched to see a return of pretty, flushed cheeks. We’re totally crazy about [Fruit Pigmented Pot Rouge](http://www.organicbeautynow.com/fruit-pigmented-rouge-blush-7.html)from 100% Pure. The pinky rogue swipes on for a quick just-went-for-a-run glow and lasts all day long. We love mixing with a touch of moisturizer for a flawless application.

The Look: Slightly Glossy Lips

Pause from last season’s bold orange hues and make the switch to a shimmering gloss this spring. [Madara’s decolips moonkissed tinting lip gloss](http://www.organicbeautynow.com/decolips-moonkissed-tinting-lip-gloss.html) is the ultimate pout plumping product. Application is sheer and provides a subtle jolt of shimmer. Try it over your favorite winter shade to de-intensify the color or apply on bare lips for a quick hit of glimmer.
The Look: Pretty, pastel nails
This spring is all about soft lavender digits. The upside of a naturally pretty manicure is that color lasts longer and is less resilient to chips and cracks. Check out Priti’s non-toxic formula in [Ballerina Peony](http://www.organicbeautynow.com/ballerina-peony.html). The color is sheer and subtle, taking you from the office to out.
