O.R.G Skincare: Organic Mineral Face Peel

Happy Friday!

You know how I said I'm working through all the posts I had scheduled to publish?
This one should've been posted months ago, but alas, I didn't get the chance to... so now, it's time to tell you guys all about O.R.G Skincare's Organic Mineral Face Peel! :D

Back in January, I attended IMATS Los Angeles and I was introduced to O.R.G Skincare by Donna and Suzie (Hi, guys!)... so, here are some pictures of O.R.G's booth from IMATS 2013:




O.R.G Skincare takes its knowledge & exposure from cutting-edge beauty applications and ingenuity from all over Asia. Their vision is to introduce products containing an ideal blend of natural and effective ingredients that address real beauty issues. O.R.G Skincare is the first to introduce an all-natural enzyme exfoliant (Organic Mineral Peel), derived from ancient Asian spa treatments, offering instant results within minutes of application. While constantly looking to think outside the box, O.R.G Skincare pulls inspiration from art, music, pop culture, and media, creating a whole new outlook and approach into all things beauty.

I received a press kit from O.R.G Skincare:


Cute presentation, right?!

The contents:


I received a 59mL bottle of their super amazing Organic Mineral Face Peel and a booklet talking all about the brand and the product...


Organic Mineral Face Peel (59mL/ $44)


Organic Mineral Peel is the first all-natural enzyme exfoliant that instantly removes dry skin and dermal debris within minutes of application. With its non-abrasive formulation, Organic Mineral Peel generates immediate skin renewal for maximum absorption of other skincare products. Free of any alcohol, parabens, and sulfates, Organic Mineral Peel comes packed with skin-nurturing antioxidants revitalizing even the most sensitive areas of your body. Therefore, it is to become the starting point of any skincare regimen.


Organic Mineral Face Peel includes natural skin brightening agents which include Milk Thistle and Licorice as well as enriched nutrients and antioxidants which include Omega 3, Vitamin A, & Vitamin B1.

THE FACE:
Creates a smooth and supple skin complexion.
Provides a clean canvas for flawless makeup application.
Gradually brightens dark spots and blemishes.
Allows for maximum penetration of other skincare products.
Contains natural brightening agents of Milk Thistle and Licorice Root.


The Organic Mineral Face Peel is a really excellent product!
It truly does everything the description says -- you will feel refreshed after using this face peel.

When they say all-natural, they mean all-natural -- the first time I used it, it got in my eye and I totally panicked until I realized that it did not sting at all because, guess what, it's all-natural!

This was designed to be used before applying makeup on because it creates a clear canvas on your face.
I also like using it after taking off my makeup to get rid of any residue left behind.

This Organic Mineral Face Peel is so awesome even my brother is obsessed!
I'm telling you, he seriously LOVES this product!

There's really nothing more to say besides the fact that this is a great skincare product to have.
We all need this and it will do wonders for your skin -- totally worth the $44 you will spend on it! :)

Instructions and photos from O.R.G Skincare:


1. Working in sections, apply a liberal amount (3 to 5 sprays) onto dry skin, avoiding contact with eyes.
2. Allow it to absorb for approximately 5 to 7 seconds.
3. Using your hand or minimally abrasive washcloth, exfoliate in small circular motion.
4. Rinse with warm water and repeat if necessary.
5. Moisturize accordingly.

The result should look like the photo above -- you will really see your dry skin come out like that, kind of gross, but so amazing! :)


Keep up to date with O.R.G Skincare through FacebookTwitter, and Youtube.

What do you guys think? Is this something you would be interested in adding to your skincare regimen?
Have you tried anything from O.R.G Skincare before?

Have a happy weekend, guys!!! :)

Need: Makeup Sponge

Happy Wednesday!

Just a quick post for tonight... I just recently finished my stash of these amazing Basically U Beauty Wedges:


The ultimate makeup must-have! 
Apply and blend liquid and cream makeup with these sponge wedges. Sponges can be used dry or slightly dampened for a perfect application.

My sister got them for me at Ulta, but I checked and they don't have it anymore (not sure if it's just sold out or if it's been discontinued)... so now I have a dilemma: I need new makeup sponges. :/

Any recommendations? Suggestions?

I hope your week is going well! :)

Introducing: PS Beauty

Happy Monday!

I just wanted to introduce this awesome new beauty website called PS Beauty to you, my lovely readers:


PS Beauty started out as an experiment, to test the theory that we don’t really know what beauty products to buy. Whenever we looked at our beauty product collections we always saw so many products that we just don’t use and that really got us asking questions... 

How much money have we wasted buying products we won’t use? 
Why is it so difficult to buy the right beauty product? 
Is it possible to find the right products without having to leave the comfort of your own home? 

 We realised we needed to fix this, and started PS Beauty in 2011 with a handful of beauty tools created by curious beauty experts who liked our theory. The results amazed all of us. We were able to successfully recommend the perfect products for each individual person. 

 Every time you rate a beauty product on the site, Poppy learns what you like and dislike, making your recommendations even more accurate! She even takes into consideration other factors like the latest trends or what your friends are using to make sure you find the absolute best beauty products.


Such a cool concept, right?!

You probably normally wouldn't think this is something we need, but if you really think about it, we DO need this! We could all use some help in figuring out which products are the best choices for us, we could all save some money, and we could all use some peace of mind knowing that we bought the right product for us. ;)

Some testimonials:

"I never know what to buy next, this site has already given me 3 products I absolutely love. I'll definitely be back." -Alice

"I want to look after myself without pushy sales people at beauty counters trying to sell me products I probably don’t need. This website has given me a way of finding new beauty products that are tailored to fit me. Love it." -Amy

So, how exactly does PS Beauty work?


Right now, they have this really awesome tool to help us find the perfect foundation for us:


Try it out here.

PS Beauty is a really helpful tool for makeup pros and newbies alike.
It's an easy website to maneuver and they have such fun illustrations -- I know you will all love it! :)

To visit PS Beauty, please click here.
You can also keep up to date with them through Twitter and Facebook.

What do you guys think of PS Beauty?
Is this something you would like to try?

I wish all of you a wonderful week ahead! :D
