beauty in the details.

For as long as I can remember, I've been a huge proponent of organic, plant based facial cleansing products. As we are surrounded by makeup products that are not necessarily composed with the most healthiest of ingredients, it is always a good antidote to free our skin of harsh elements and chemicals after a long day's work. My all time favorites happen to come from the Acure Organics line, which I normally buy physically at my local Whole Foods. I basically wash my makeup off with the facial cleanser, apply the brightening scrub every 2-3 days, and hydrate my face daily with the eye cream and radical wrinkle complex cream. Good stuff, I tell ya.

As for makeup, I do use drugstore brand foundation, powder, and lipstick just because the colors match my skin tone the best. To create a barrier between the makeup and my actual skin, I use Tarte's clay based Smooth Operator powder to create a matte look that lasts all day. I'm quite a sucker for eye makeup, so I prep by applying Urban Decay's eyelash primer and Naked 2 eyeshadow palette, NARS' smudgeproof eyeshadow primer, and Clinique's bottom lash mascara. I also like a good glow on my cheeks, so using cult favorites such as blush sets by NARS and Benefit's High Beam luminizer always does the trick. And on the weekends when I like to have a bare face, spritzing on some of Caudalie's beauty elixir always makes me feel brand new.

What are your favorites? I'd love to know! I figured this beauty regimen post is long overdue, so I hope this helped answer some of your questions. Love you all.

I like to use natural cosmetics, especially from Norway or Sweden. I don't like when my face cream or body lotion has a lot of silicon or other "hard" ingredients...

I also try to use organic, bad-chemical-free cleanser/moisturizer line. I swear by Origins for all of their moisturizers and facial cleansers. For make-up, I like Smashbox eyeliner since it's without parabens and cruelty-free, and it totally lasts. Tarte is also great about staying away from bad chemicals too.

I was so looking for something like that. Especially this organic collection since my skin is highly sensitve. I actually only use facial treatments without silicone and parabens. How are the ingredients of these things?
