New Skincare and Makeup Products for Summer!

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.



Looking for the perfect gift for a graduate, birthday or new mom? Then check out Arbonne products which are perfect for keeping your favorite woman moisturized and looking great this summer!


They have a new Arbonne RE9 Advanced® Line and it includes some great products! Check them out below!!
Retexturizing Serum In Lotion ($50) gives dry, flaky skin the boot with it's serum-meets-lotion hybrid that delivers amazing all-day hydration and gentle exfoliation with AHAs – leaving skin luminous and instantly soft. I have extremely dry skin even in summer so I am LOVIN' this Retexturizing Serum in Lotion!

I am also loving the Firming Body Cream ($75)! Who couldn't use a little firming, right??

This luxurious vegan body cream deeply nourishes the skin with hydration – it’s formulated with red algae extract to smooth the appearance of dimpled skin and texture, leaving skin soft and silky with a renewed glow.


And when it comes to makeup, I am trying out the new jane iredale Pretty in a Snap Spring 2018 Collection!

You can brighten up your eyes and make them shine with Emerald and Sapphire Mystikol® Powdered Eyeliner ($24)

This soft emerald green and sapphire blue powdered liners define eyes with stay-put technology.


And to brighten up my lips and keep them moisturized I am using Tricia and Jamie PureMoist® Lipstick, ($25)

These nude and terra cotta nude shades are ultra-moisturizing formulations that soften, soothe and protect lips with natural oils and superfruit extracts for a luscious nude look.

But my favorite product of all (and one I use almost every day!!) is the Content Lip Fixation® Lip Stain/Gloss ($32)

This matte pink, nude and clear shimmer duo give double-duty beauty a new meaning with a convenient lip stain and gloss in one. I love that I can apply color and shine all at one time!

Suncoat Natural Cosmetics & Nail Polish

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.


Are your kids nagging you to let them play with your makeup and nail polish?? My daughter is only TWO but already asks to be like mommy and put on makeup and paint her toenails!  I have never been keen on painting her toenails because of all the harmful chemicals in most nail polish...until I was introduced to Suncoat products.

Suncoat - Made from equal parts nature’s finest, innovative science and a dash of mother’s love, was founded by polymer and organic chemist Ying. When her daughter wanted to paint her nails pretty, she was put off by all the poison in the typical bottle of nail polish, so Ying took her scientific smarts to task and developed the first ever naturally formulated nail polish. They’re different; non-toxic, completely odourless, water-based and inflammable.


They also have a complete line for children: Suncoatgirl is the children’s line of nail polish, bursting with attitude and with none of the bad stuff! They are made with an additional feature ... they peel off easily, so no need for nail polish remover. Let your kids play!


My daughter received and LOVES the ‘Play Make-Up Kit’. And I love that it is non-toxic, naturally formulated, water-based, clean, non toxic, odourless, and inflammable!

Each kit contains:
  • Two Suncoatgirl natural nail polishes
  • one Baby Blue mineral eye shadow
  • a cherry flavoured all natural lip shimmer
  • and one sheet of nail decals.

My daughter used the nail polish and decals in a wedding this summer when she was the flower girl! She showed off her nails to EVERYONE and loved every minute of putting it on and wearing the polish!

There is also great products for mommy! I received:

Sugar-based Natural Liquid Eyeliner


Synthetic plastics, such as acrylic copolymer and PVP (polyvinyl pyrrolidone polymer), are found in many popular brand liquid eyeliners. They are used mainly as the binding agent/film former in liquid eyeliner to glue pigments and fillers together so the eyeliner stays on your eyes. These synthetic plastics are derived from petrochemicals; contain residual monomers (the starting materials for producing plastics, namely acrylic monomers, vinyl pyrrolidone monomer and vinyl acetate monomer) that are not only toxic, but also reactive. Synthetic dyes, glycol, alcohol and chemical preservatives are also used in conventional liquid eyeliner formulations.

This natural liquid eyeliner is made with natural sugar-based biopolymer, not synthetic plastics such as PVP (polyvinyl pyrrolidone polymer) and acrylic copolymer. Colored with earth pigments and enriched with vitamin E. A superior alternative for your sensitive eyes and our environment!
  • Natural and vegan ingredients, readily biodegradable.
  • Stays on all day long, will not smear or smudge.
  • Kind to sensitive eyes.
  • Remove with soap and water.
  • The wand has a rubber tip instead of hairbrush, much easier to apply. It offers precise control for fine lines.

Duo Mineral Eye Shadow


I love the Duo mineral eye shadows with Eco-Cert organic bamboo silk, packaged in an eco-friendly, hand-made bamboo compact with a built in mirror. A bamboo handle brush is also included. Organic bamboo silk gives the eye shadow a silky smooth slip.

The eco-friendly bamboo compact is durable and reusable. To replace the color pan, lift from the magnetic base and insert a new one.

WHY BAMBOO: bamboo is the fastest growing plant on earth! Its natural aesthetic beauty makes it an ideal material for sustainable packaging.


Natural Liquid Lip Colours in Perfect Plum

Discover this pure natural liquid lip colors. They are super-hydrating while adding shine and natural looking color to your lips. They contain meadow foam seed oil to help soften and condition the lips. Colored with mineral pigments and carmine. No nano particle sized pigments. They have a touch of sweet taste made from stevia, a natural sweetener. Enriched with vitamin E. Preservative-free.

Can be used on its own, or over lipstick, lip pencil. Packaged in a plastic tube with a sponge applicator.

Buy It: You can purchase all these products from the Suncoat website.
