[ cafechi ] slightly organic

i was able to tried the ecco bella face powder in fair by swapping one of my product for it at MUA. i thought “fair” was going to be too light for me but it was a perfect match. the fair has yellow undertones while the light has pink. i like it a lot and use it everyday. it is very light in coverage - almost non-existent but i like it. i can already see the bottom of the pan so i’ll need to get something else soon. i also received gabriel’s apricot blush in the swap and really like it. it’s more peachy than pink which was fine for me.

 i just did 2 more swaps. i am going to get to try zia’s everyday moisturizer, zia deep moisturizer serum, and suki’s lemongrass cleanser. i’m reading lotsa raves on these items, especially the suki’s - it’s supposely more of an exfoliant with natural aha’s an bha’s.

 

last weekend i spent the last of my montly allowance and bought zia’s to go trial kit for dry skin. i am loving their products. it came with a moisturing cleanser, aloe toner, nourishing creme, papaya enzyme facial mask, super moisturizing mask and citrus night reversal cream. the only thing i’m not using much is the super moisturizing mask. everything else i use either every day or every other day. my skin is purging from the night reversal but it is so much clearer and not as dull. these are trial sizes but really, a little bit is all need. it’s been a week and i have not use even half of the products yet. so far i’m impress.

from my october’s allowance, i got skin medica’s vitamin c to try out. it’s supposedly excellent at diminishing age (brown) spots and i seriously need to get rid of the ones i have. i also ordered more samples of zia’s skincare products. my excuse? they have a new formulation without parabens.

 my eyes are looking at suki’s bright complexion moisture mask with vitamin c. my allowance is almost half gone already and it’s not october yet.

 i tried shikai’s color reflect warm shampoo and i LOVE it! it brings out the auburn and red tones in your hair. this doesn’t dry my hair out. i also got the everyday conditioner and while not as heavy of a cream as other conditioners, it leaves the hair soft to the touch. i swear my hair is such a bright deep reddish auburn shade when the sun hits. they are my new favorite hair products!

on a side note, i’m almost out of ecover’s dishwashing tablets so i joined a frontier coop again. i’m going to stock up on those. love them. and a few other household items - separate from my budget thankgoodness.
