Cargo Cosmetics Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20 - Nude





















The oil free SPF 20 moisturizer is infused with botanical complex to protect skin from harmful UV rays. The creamy water resistant moisturizer provides a sheer coverage and leaves skin looking luminous and natural. The lightweight moisturizer left my skin feeling soft and cover up small imperfection. However, I didn't find it provide enough hydration to my skin.

The Soap & Paper Factory Green Tea Shea Butter Soap









I recently had a big haul at the Soap and Paper Factory and being a huge fan of specialty soap -- I decided to use the soap first. Out of the four different ones I bought, I couldn’t decide so I closed my eyes and picked at random. I ended up picking up the crisp scented green tea shea butter soap.  The scent is uplighting and makes taking a shower very pleasant.  It is a perfect way to unwind into tranquility. The soap provided a generous lather and left my skin soft, moisturized and smooth. Overall, it is a good quality soap; I just wasn’t fond of the scent. I am more into floral or sweet scents.This soap is perfect if you like “spa scented” soaps that are refreshing, crisp, and uplifting that is not packed with harsh detergents or petrochemicals, additives, parabens, phthalates, or dyes. And I also love the cute paper the soap came wrapped up in. It made it ready for gift giving or treating yourself to special treat.

Coola Classic SPF 30 Cucumber Moisturizer for Face




This eco-friendly is packed with 70% organic ingredients and protect you against both UVA/UVB rays. It is packed with Vitamin C, strawberry extracts, plankton, primrose, acai, and linseed oil to pamper and protect your skin. I love the plumeria and the unscented version of this and I couldn’t wait to try this scent. The lightweight formula does go on smoothly and evenly. It left my face feel soft, moisturized with a matte finish. The only thing I didn’t like was the supposedly “fresh, spa-like” cucumber scent, I didn't like it very much and could have done without it.

e.l.f. Studio Lip Balm SPF 15 in Rose

















The SPF 15 lip balm protects delicate lips against the forces of nature while imparting a soft wash of rosy red tint. My lips felt soft and smooth after applying the lip balm. I like how it offers color, moisture and SPF protection all in one tube. And the best part, it only cost $3 per a tube.
