During the busy month of December, I managed to finish up 5 full-size products, and would happily use all of them again. I finished up 2 face products, 2 body products and 1 hair product.
Y'OUR Cleanser (Available from Y'OUR Skincare and their Amazon Store): This cleanser is a very gentle and lightly lathering, and it thoroughly cleans without ever stripping my skin. It rinses clean and leaves my skin soft and comfortable. Additionally, it is fragrance-free, nourishing and leaves my skin lightly hydrated. It is gentle enough to use morning and night. Purchase Again? I am swimming in facial cleansers right now, but I would happily use this one again!
Dieux Skin Instant Angel Lipid Rich Facial Moisturizer ($45.00 for 50ml and $78.00 for 100ml. from Dieux and Sephora): This is a thoughtfully created cruelty-free and vegan moisturizer that is richly moisturizing. It is a peptide and ceramide-rich formulation that is barrier-supportive and immensely moisturizing for dehydrated skin and skin with a compromised barrier. It is rich and thick, and yet it melts into the skin quickly leaving behind an ethereal glow. It is fragrance-free, with no detectable aroma, and it makes the skin feel so soft, smooth and supple. If you have acne-prone skin, this cream will likely be too rich for you, and you might want to try Dieux Air Angel Gel Cream instead. However, if you have dry or dehydrated skin, then this lipid-rich moisturizer is truly heavenly! Purchase Again? I have too many open face creams to purchase another one right now, but I love this moisturizer and will happily use it again in the future!
Renpure Oat Milk & Ceramides Sensitive Skin Body Wash ($7.50 for 24 oz. and $14.99 for a 2-pack from iHerb, Amazon): This is a lightly fragranced body wash that boasts a very satisfying lather and it leaves skin soft and moisturized, rather than dry and irritated. This body wash is perfect for anyone, but it is formulated especially for people with sensitive skin. It has become my very favorite body wash. It is emollient and delectable, and it rinses clean without any sort of residue. Purchase Again? Without any hesitation. This is currently my very favorite body wash!
TOA WATERS Liquid Bath Bomb in Lockwood Forest ($8.50- $10.99 for 50ml from TOA WATERS, Macy's, TOA WATERS Amazon Store, and ETSY): is a pretty enchanted scent, a truly luxurious to experience in the bath. TOA WATERS describes the Lockwood Forest scent as "Earthy and natural. Infused with Oakmoss, Amber, Vanilla, Sage, and Lavender." It is calming, warm and creamy and utterly delectable. It is moisturizing, rather than drying and it feels utterly luxurious against the skin. Each bottle will give you two wonderful bubble baths, and they are perfect for the cold weather and after a long day on your feet. Purchase Again? I will happily use this again and again!
Herbatint Permanent Haircolor Gel in Light Golden Chestnut 5D ($17.49 from Herbatint, Amazon, iHerb, Walmart): For many years I used drugstore brand at-home hair dyes, but the last couple of times that I did I noticed that my scalp became dry and irritated. I decided to try something a little different, and I kept seeing Herbatint Permanent Hair Color Gel, and I decided to try it. This Italian brand, founded in 1970, is cruelty-free, vegan and it has a wide range of colors from which to choose. I have naturally curly dark brown hair that naturally lightens up in the summer, and therefore during the cooler months I tried their Light Chestnut 5N, and for the summer I tried their Light Golden Chestnut 5D, and both are stunning shades.
I mixed the hair color gel and the developer until it became a thick gel that was uniform in color. I carefully brushed it from roots to tips and then left it on for 40 minutes. This formula was tested on sensitive skin, and it definitely did not irritate, burn or tingle my scalp. I rinsed it out after 40 minutes and then applied their wonderful Royal Cream Conditioner– which comes with the hair color. This conditioner is lightweight and yet incredibly emollient and moisturizing. When I was done my hair was uniformly a gorgeous chestnut shade, but it was darker than on the box since my hair was quite dark to start with.
This formula neither dries out my scalp, nor my hair, and the color lasts for a few months before I need a touch up.
Herbatint encourages mixing shades to customize your hair color, and they also suggest that you can mix up just a small amount if you only need to do root-touch up. Whether you have any grey hair you seek to cover, or just roots that differ from the rest of your color, then just doing a root touch-up makes a lot of sense. I don't have much grey hair, but there are some strands here and there, and this does an excellent job of covering them. Purchase Again? I already have!
