Conditioner -Alba Botanica - Cocoa butter dry repair hair conditioner
miafrush 3/14/2013 2:33:00 AM
The shampoo in this this line is good but the conditioner is wonderful. It is more if a hair mask than just a conditioner. Its very thick like coco butter and a little goes a long way. It is very moisturizing and it has really helped with my bleached damaged hair. The best part is that it is cruelty free and contains no animal ingredients.

BB Cream -Too Faced - Tinted Beauty Balm Multi-Benefit Skin Care Makeup
miafrush 2/20/2013 11:54:00 PM
I was using Tarte smooth operator agent 10 but I tried this instead because it is 100% vegan and I love it. It offers slightly more coverage than most tinted moisturizers/bb creams and is more moisturizing. I use the color vanilla glow and it is a perfect match for my light to medium yellow based skin. Th formula is very easy to work with and I can easily apply it with my fingers or any brush. This also comes in a tan tube with pink duo-chrome in it which is fun.

Lipstick -Too Faced - La Creme Color Drenched Lip Cream in Stiletto Red
miafrush 2/15/2013 11:21:00 PM
These lippies are fantastic. Well worth the 21 dollar price tag. These lip cremes are hydrating, smooth and very pigmented. The color rang is great and offers nudes naturals and brights. Stiletto red is the perfect pin up red shade. The packaging is a lovely gold tube that is a bit heavy but very sturdy. The best part is that these are 100% vegan and cruelty free. I am so glad I finally found the perfect vegan lipstick.

Lipstick -Too Faced - La Creme in Coral Fire
miafrush 2/15/2013 11:02:00 PM
These lippies are fantastic. Well worth the 21 dollar price tag. These lip cremes are hydrating, smooth and very pigmented. The color rang is great and offers nudes naturals and brights. Coral fire is not quite as coral as I would like but it is still a very flattering bright pink shade. The packaging is a lovely gold tube that is a bit heavy but very sturdy. The best part is that these are 100% vegan and cruelty free. I am so glad I finally found the perfect vegan lipstick.

Palettes -Unlisted Brand - Unii Cosmetics Palette
miafrush 1/25/2013 4:39:00 PM
I am reviewing the new style Unii palette. I was a little apprehensive to buy the new style because I read that it wasn't as good as the original. I really like the new one. The only complaint I can think of is that there are cracks on the side when it is closed so its not completely sealed air tight. Other than that, this palette is great quality and worth the price. The built in magnetic bottom is great and I love the new colors. I have honey suckle which is a pink color with subtle glitter. Its overly girly but I like it. I can fit about 12 pro shadows inside which is all I need for my everyday use. This is such a nice small size that it fits nicely in my travel makeup bag or any makeup drawer. I also find that is is easy to clean and is very durable.

Hair -Manic Panic - Virgin Snow Toner
miafrush 1/18/2013 12:49:00 AM
This is by far the best toner I have used. First of all it is vegan and it also works the best and lasts the longest. I tone the blonde part of my hair with this about every two weeks and it completely takes out all the yellow and brassiness. It also seems to condition my hair which is great because it is so damaged from bleaching. Sometimes it can turn a bit grey toned if I leave it in too long (more than an hour) but that is easily fixed by shampooing it once or twice. The small jar does last me a while but I have short hair. It could be on the expensive side if you have a lot of hair to tone but the outcome is well worth it. I also like the jar because I can dip my tinting brush directly into it without having to use a mixing bowl.

Pressed Powders -Tarte - Provocateur Mineral Powder
miafrush 1/18/2013 12:40:00 AM
This is a nice soft and light finishing powder. I am giving it three stars because it does not give any coverage and I was expecting it to be more if a foundation powder than a translucent powder. It is cruelty free and comes in a cute sleek compact but unfortunately my complexion just needs more coverage.

Moisturizers -Alba Botanica - Jasmine and Vitamin E Moisture Cream
miafrush 1/18/2013 12:26:00 AM
I usually use the lighter moisturizer Alba makes (hawaiian aloe and green tea) but I grabbed this one by accident. At first the smell turned me off because it is very floral and I prefer unscented but after using this, I really like it. It is thick and very moisturizing without feeling heavy or greasy. It wears well under my makeup and is a great to use night time or day time. I like the jar packaging because I rinse out the empty jars and re use them for other things. At 13-15 dollars it is quite affordable because a little goes a very long way. Most importantly it is cruelty free and contains no animal ingredients

Lip Treatments -Alba Botanica - Passion Fruit Nectar Lip Balm
miafrush 1/18/2013 12:20:00 AM
I rarely find lip balm that actually improves the texture and moisture of my lips. The only one I have found is jack black and its a bit expensive. I am thrilled to say that this lip balm is amazing. It smells nice, is very creamy and goes on smoothly. It has quickly improved the dryness of my lips and is a great base for lipstick. I found these for 1-2 dollars online which is a steal. All the flavors are yummy. They are cruelty free, vegan and organic and I highly recommend this lip balm.

Foundations -Bare Escentuals - Bare Minerals Ready Foundation
miafrush 1/11/2013 10:48:00 PM
I personally like this new formula better than the original and matte. I used the original for a few years until I got adult acne and then it didnt work well for my oily skin acne prone skin. I hated the matte formula and I now that Ihave normal/combination skin I thought I would try the new formula. This new formula offers a lot more coverage and gives a natural slight matte finish. I have light to medium skin and I use light. The color does seem to be lighter than the original but with a little bit of bronzer it looks perfect and doesn't oxidize during the day. I still like everyday minerals better but since this is in a pressed compact and available in stores, I will continue to use this for now. It is a little pricey at 30 dollars but I waste much less product with pressed powder than I do with loose powder. The most important thing is that this is cruelty free.

Gels/Soaps -Ulta - Moisturizing Body Wash
miafrush 1/6/2013 5:34:00 PM
This is my absolute favorite body wash. The packaging is very travel friendly in a squeeze tube. It lathers nicely and Is very inexpensive when Ulta has a buy two get two sale. It is the only cruelty free body wash I found that really moisturizes my skin and comes in lots of yummy scents. My current favorite is the vanilla sugar. I would highly recommend all of Ultas body products.

Cleansers -Alba Botanica - Hawaiian Pineapple Enzyme Facial Cleanser
miafrush 10/4/2012 5:25:00 AM
Of course everyones skin is different but this cleanser works wonderfully for my face. It smells great, feels great and leaves my skin very clean and soothed. It removes makeup like a charm and works very well with my clarisonic face brush. It is very affordable and comes in a nice thin bottle with a handy pump. It is a nice gel consistency that lathers nicely and rinses easily with no residue. I have acne prone skin that has a tendency to get dry and this is my all time favorite cleanser. I used to use St Ives cleanser but since they are no longer cruelty free I discovered Alba products and I love them.

Toners -Alba Botanica - Hawaiian Hibiscus Facial Toner
miafrush 10/4/2012 5:09:00 AM
This is a wonderful and gentle toner. It does not sting or dry out my skin at all. It feel light and very natural on the skin. I put this toner in a spray bottle and its wonderfully refreshing when I spray in on my face. I use all Alba products as my skin routine now and all are cruelty free.
