Lately I\u2019ve been discovering a lot about conventional makeup products. It\u2019s crazy to look at the list of unpronounceable ingredients and then realize that all of that is going into your skin. Our skin is like a giant sponge; whatever is put on top will eventually sink in through our pores. It also blocks the pores so they can\u2019t breathe or function normally. Conventional makeup looks beautiful on the outside, but really it\u2019s just stacks of toxic chemicals.<\/p>\n

So, this year, I’ve been on a mission to replace all my makeup with healthy, natural versions. By the end of year, I want to have weaned myself off of the bad stuff.<\/p>\n

I have done a lot of makeup work from weddings to trauma makeup for a small movie company. When you\u2019re doing events like that, it\u2019s really important to get good products\u2026and often, the natural companies aren’t often long wearing or offer good coverage. So it\u2019s taken me a while to adjust my mindset and find really GOOD natural makeup companies.<\/p>\n

\"Natural<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why I was so happy to discover Lauren Brookes Makeup<\/a>. It\u2019s affordable, good quality, and natural. They sent me their powder foundation and blush for me to try out.<\/p>\n

\"Natural<\/p>\n

I LOVE the blush<\/a>\u2026the shade they sent me is my perfect shade (mulberry) because it\u2019s the colour I would get naturally. It\u2019s the same colour my cheeks turn when they get a little burnt by the sun. It\u2019s almost like a half blush\/half bronzer. It’s simply my favourite now!<\/p>\n

The powder foundation<\/a> isn’t high coverage, but leaves a nice, natural finish. This is perfect for those who want to wear makeup without looking like they\u2019re wearing it. I actually ended up using it as setting powder for my foundation and once again, the shade (fawn) matches my skin perfectly.<\/p>\n

\"Natural<\/p>\n

They sent me a sample for a cream foundation as well, and I really liked it\u2026it had a really pretty \u201cglow\u201d factor to it.<\/p>\n

Come back tomorrow because Lauren Brookes<\/a> is giving away the blush to one lucky reader! If you haven\u2019t figured it out yet, I\u2019m having a giveaway almost every Saturday now \u2013 it\u2019s so much fun to share some great products that I love with you!<\/p>\n
