I reviewed RMS Lip Shines before in the color Moment a few months ago. But Sublime, Sublime is quite another story. Continue reading
Mullein & Sparrow Lip/ Cheek Balm
$14.00
Mullein & Sparrow is a great local company that produces some serious balm. Located in Brooklyn, they make handmade herbal products and use “all natural, sustainable, organic, and locally sourced ingredients whenever possible.” This lip and cheek balm is “an all natural tinted balm to give your lips and cheeks a slight flush with a light, glossy finish. Creates a rosy sheen, but isn’t sticky or super shiny. Our lip & cheek balm leaves lips super moisturized and protected with all natural ingredients.” Its made with jojoba oil infused with rose, alkanet root, castor oil, honey & beeswax. Continue reading

When Aveda founder, Horst M. Rechelbacher, set out to start a new personal care company after selling Aveda to Estee Lauder, he “shifted his focus to Intelligent Nutrients, a health and beauty company that lives to the highest standards of 100% food-based, safe, non-toxic and organic ingredients.” The product line is based around the idea that “much of what goes on your skin can be absorbed into it. If it’s good enough to go on your body, it should be good enough to go into your mouth. And conversely, if you wouldn’t put it in your mouth, don’t put it on your skin.”
“Lip Delivery Antioxidant Gloss is a USDA certified organic gluten-free lip-gloss combining powerful colorful antioxidant chemistry and nutritious food ingredients with a high Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (antioxidant) ORAC value. Lip Delivery Antioxidant Gloss is free from toxic mined or mineral pigments, heavy metals, synthetic colorants.” Also it does not contain, petroleum, synthetic oils, lead, toxic minerals, parabens, petrochemicals, plastics, artificial fragrance or flavors, synthetic colorants or silicones.
The gloss definitely moisturized, and the clear frosting color left a nice sheen. It lasted a long time and I did not find that I had to reapply often. The color Purple Mazie looks very dark in the tube but is a perfect light berry shade on the lips, not too overdone, but quite good for a low key day or when you don’t want to be obvious about your lip color. The taste though is like a blueberry muffin and I could do without that for sure. What I like best is that “every ingredient chosen to feed your lips with power-packed antioxidants and Intelligent Nutrients’ signature Antioxidant Intellimune® Seed Oil Complex to help battle oxidative stress and aid in fighting pre-mature aging”

Blissoma Rosy Glow Lip Elixer
$6.99
Blissoma Rosy Glow Lip Elixer, immediately caught my attention when I was purchasing other things from the really awesome company Blissoma by Irie Star (See my other posts on Blissoma products here and here). Blissoma created the lip elixer because they “were sick of waxy stick balms,” Blissoma “thought up this fabulous idea – a liquid with all the nutritive, healing properties of a medicinal balm but with the light texture of a gloss.” Continue reading

Sunday Morning round up from around the interwebs….
Lusting after this fall outfit
Want v. My very large collection of lip products already
Can’t wait to get back to NY to read this book waiting on my doorstep
Phoenix Botanicals Little Wing Balm $8.00
My friend Jen turned me onto this company with their Rose lip balm, but for me this is the standout balm from this company. Its pretty much one of the more amazing balms out there. When I started to my own lip balm company I really strove to beat this particular lip balm and is ability to moisturize. Continue reading
FIREBIRD: Saltwater Perfume Oil and Lotion
$9.00 and $8.00
More Info HERE
Saltwater Perfume Oil
I was immediately drawn to Firebird Bath & Beauty and their perfume oils because I love roll ons. I initially got some samples from their sample program, Saltwater, Honey and WoodsmokeVinilla. I was instantly in love with Saltwater. This scent described as, “a non-floral, non-tropical ocean scent consisting of marine notes, cedar and myrtle, that softens and mellows on the skin and becomes ethereal and almost haunting. Definitely unisex, definitely unusual.”
To me it smells like clean without that cloying clean scent that is often used in so much fragrance. Describing perfume is very hard, but this scent is amazing. I have shared it with numerous friends who have also fallen in love with it. It has universal appeal and smells great. I basically cannot stop sniffing my wrist.
Great price, great scent, perfect roll on for your purse. This is a no brainer gift for yourself or your best friend.
Saltwater Lotion
The lotion has a very subtle saltwater scent, which is great for layering and having the scent last all day, but what really stands out about this product is the lotion it self.
It absorbs quickly and leaves my skin super soft. I hate body lotion after the shower because its one more step, but this absorbs like a dream so I actually don’t avoid this step, and it leaves the best subtle scent behind. It has “avocado oil for a a luxurious feel, shea butter to protect and soothe, jojoba and grapeseed oils for weightless emollience without that greasy feeling. Aloe vera hydrates and nourishes and silk amino acids provide a silky smooth afterfeel. Loaded with antioxidant vitamins and 96% natural.”
I keep this on my desk too and slather it on all day. The clean scent is amazing and I really can’t get enough of it, but the way it leaves my hands so soft is worth going back for more. Now if only Firebird Bath and Beauty made a laundry soap, hand soap and counter top cleaner in this scent!
