All-natural Products

A few months ago I started getting what I thought were allergies.  It was around the time where everyone around me was bothered by the pollen in the air.  However, knowing full well I had never had allergies, I was a bit confused why my eyes were red and itchy.  The red and itchy eyes would persist for a few days and go away...only to come back 1-2 weeks later.  My doctor believes this has to do with my make-up choices (in addition to my decision not to wash my make-up off my face at night).  The thought of the products I put on my face making me so agitated for days at a time has thrown me into a frenzy about what I put on my body.

Therefore, I have decided to take an adventure down the all-natural products lane.  A friend recommended I check out the Spirit Beauty Lounge (http://www.spiritbeautylounge.com/).  Not having a clue what to buy I decided to go with the Samples option: you get to sample 9 products for only $25! 

Based on these samples, here is what I would recommend:
RMS Beauty make-up is fantastic.  I loved the "Un" Cover-up and the eyeshadow.
Acure Organics Shampoo (I chose the Lemongrass + Argan Stem Cell)
Pangea Organics Facial Cleanser (Egyptian Calendula & Blood Orange)

Of course, some of these items can be a bit pricey.  Something else I have recently tried (and liked) are the Yes to Carrots line of products (http://www.yestocarrots.com/), however, I chose the cucumber line.  It makes my hair and face smell and feel fantastic.  These products you can get at Walgreens at a decent price (and no shipping!).

Anyway, just a thought and a reminder that it is always good to pay attention to what we are putting IN and ON our bodies!
