PRODUCT OBSESSION - W3LL PEOPLE

This is a freakin cool company. If you are into supporting cool companies with a vision of beneficial, safe, eco-conscious beauty products brimming with effective, natural ingredients...this is a company you need to check out.

W3LL PEOPLE

Just the tag line alone,  HIPPIE TESTED. DIVA APPROVED, tickles me green.

Here's the deal why this company makes me HAPPY.

Natural. Beauty.

W3LL PEOPLE skincare products are free from the chemicals you would rather your body not absorb. In order to create a true skin safe haven, our first priority is to carry products without ingredients that are irritating to the skin, or potentially harmful to the body and have minimized the use of preservatives through new technologies like airless packaging. We focus on the inclusin of organic ingredients in the product lines we carry wherever possible. However, there are some advanced ingredients, such as peptides, that simply aren’t available organically. We are committed to a safe, common sense balance of pure bioavailable ingredients that provide clinically proven effectiveness using the latest in technology.

 

Advanced Performance, Optimal Bioavailable Ingredients and Sustainability drive the W3LL PEOPLE mission and everything we do. The integration of these 3 elements create a new standard for beauty. And, as far as we're aware, no one does quite as sexy. W3LL PEOPLE is Beauty Conscious.

MY TWO FAVE MAKE UP PRODUCTS ARE: 

Can you be slap happy about a SUPERNATURAL LIP SHINE STICK? I can! This one, called Nudist, offers supernatural lip shine, mine, in a funky hot pink-purple-clear color, it's a moisturizing stick that has me digging in my purse in traffic, risking a pile up, just to slather it on.  Maybe it's the way it feels.  I dunno, but I'm nutso about it.  Maybe cuz it's free of those annoying petrochemicals and paraben that's got me hooked.  I think you really can feel the diff. 

The MINERAL CREME FOUNDATION/CONCEALER, called Narcissist (perfect for me), is also the balm, and I was suspect at first of a stick working creamy smoothe coverage but this one really does the trick! It's super light yet gives this really cool coverage...I'm diggin it big time...

Anyway, I've yet to try their SCENT and SKINCARE  lines but can't wait to order some stuff and dive in...!

Here are the peeps behind W3LL PEOPLE:

The Skin Doctor, The Makeup Guru and The Treehugger.  

The W3LL PEOPLE™ creators are Reneé Snyder, M.D., Shirley Pinkson and James Walker. Their pioneering vision and elite skills combine the best of science, medicine, nature and art - conscientiously. The result of their efforts is truly something beautiful. Join them in being W3LL.

Speaking of the Nudist Lipstick, wanted to let you know that W3LL PEOPLE is doing a promotion during October & November for Breast Cancer Awareness—specifically, all sales proceeds of the Nudist Lipshine #4 (my total obsession!!) will go to Breast Cancer Action (www.bcaction.org) during October & November.  

PRODUCT OBSESSION - MALIE ORGANICS

YUM YUM GIMME SOME...MALIE ORGANICS

Malie Organics ingredients range from cultivated organic harvests to the rare wild-crafted plants of our rainforests. All of our ingredients are sustainable grown, ensuring constant renewal. We draw on the talent and time-honored traditions of local artisans to create our products. Malie Organicsi is dedicated to strengthening our Hawaiian way of life, so we can continue to share the gifts of paradise with you.

There a few scents I go nuts over:

Plumeria, lemongrass, ginger, coconut and vanilla (I'll never out grow them, sorry!) and Fracas perfume.

When I heard about the delicious, fresh, organic line MALIE from Hawaii, I knew I had to sample some stuff.  And sample I have.  I keep the ORGANIC PLUMERIA MIST  on my desk, next to my laptop and spray it on me, and into the air all day. I'm like a crazy spritzer. It makes me feel so CLEAN, it's like taking a shower, ten times a day.

Infuse the essence of paradise in your life with Malie's all in one Organic Aroma Mist. As a perfume these Hawaiian Hydrosol infused distillations are unique, subtle and fresh. Use on linens or in the air to transcend to the islands. Malie's Organic ingredients help save our environment one spray at a time.

The other product I'm ga-ga for is this ridiculous LEMONGRASS ORGANIC BODY POLISH. It feels like someone whipped it up in their kitchen just for me. The only problem with these scrubs is I have to ration my use of them cuz I would use it all in like...two showers if I could.  Note to self: order three bottles next time...

Here's a bit about them...Check out other divine organics from their line...

Organic Hawaiian wildcrafted lilikoi and organic lemongrass... therapeutic botanicals rescue skin from fatigue and daily stress by reducing swelling and puffiness and stimulating blood flow. Pure Lilikoi Hydrosol and Lemongrass Essential Oil work together to uplift the spirit and balance, firm and refine skin.  Lilikoi, the bright yellow sister to the purple passion fruit, creates balance and promotes well being. Delicately fragrant lilikoi hydrosols reduce stress and calm the mind and emotions.  Famous for its therapeutic power, lemongrass firms, cleanses and refines skin as it reduces toxins and fluid retention. It’s bright citrus scent is a staple of aromatherapy, used to balance and strengthen the nervous system and help the body recover from stress.

PRODUCT OBSESSION - YON-KA ADVANCED OPTIMIZER

I'm already an obsessive fan of anything by Yon-ka.  They could put out a dog food and I'd eat it.

Luckily, they make the finest skin care products on earth.  So this won't be happening anytime soon.

BUt seriously, I literally cannot get enough of their serums as it is...now they've come out with this, a duo Serum and Creme that cuts to the chase of everything else on my shelves...

It's hot off the press, and just came out this month.  I'll be listing stores in LA that sell it...

Read all about it below.

Even though this does the trick for all my anti-aging needs, I'm still nuts over anything and everything they make and will not give up that dab a little of something, a serum, a cream, anything(!) every time I go to bathroom.  OH, I also keep the serums in my coin holder in my car and I'm not giving that up either...Sorry!

Oh, and it's selling for $140 in spas nationwide, that's for two products, so it's totally wallet friendly.

YON-KA Advanced Optimizer:

It's a firming  & lifting program, a duo of Serum and Creme (packaged together), you apply the serum first, then layer the creme on top (to face and neck).

What's unique about it is that it uses the  groundbreaking technology of pure flower peptides, which no other skincare line uses.

Hibiscus flower peptides in the Serum have been proven to increase collagen production 23% (that's crazy  high!) And increase production of GAGs(Glycosaminoglycans) by  294%.
White Lupine peptides in the Creme have been proven to slow down  the breakdown of the support tissues in the dermis.

Both products also contain Hyaluronic Acid (very hydrating), horsetail  extract (firming), and marine collagen (fills out superficial lines  and wrinkles). The Serum also contains soy peptides (help the support  tissue) and the Creme has milk proteins and shea butter (very  nourishing).
So you're increasing production of collagen and other support tissues while slowing down their breakdown - talk about  turning back time!

On top of it, your skin is left super  hydrated, smoothed out and nourished.

Advanced Optimizer is $140 in spas nationwide (2 products, so it's totally wallet friendly).
