NuvaLash Vs. LASHFOOD by theorganicbunny on November 13, 2015November 14, 2015 Just when I thought I found a great new natural lash serum, yet another is released and has me wondering now, which one is truly the best!? Because it’s basically my job to figure this stuff out, I decided why not put these two to the test and try both at once, one set of lashes at a time!? So, for the next few weeks, I will embark on the ultimate lash growing mission, with today being Day 1! Each morning and night I will apply a few coats of each product to one specific eye, so at the end of this journey it will be easy to see the winner with your very own eyes! To be honest, these products are very similar so the results will basically determine the winner, but before I start, let’s chat about the differences between the two! Read More
Organic Bath Co. Organic Coffee Scrub by theorganicbunny on November 9, 2015April 10, 2019 Love coffee and exfoliating? If so, this Organic Bath Co. Java Jolt Organic Sugar & Coffee Scrub will be a must-have item for you! Made with 100% Organic, Fair Trade Certified Sugar & Coffee, this super moisturizing scrub features a super special blend of almond, apricot, and sunflower oils, plus coffee and mint to really kick start your senses each day! Not only does this scrub remove both dirt and dead skin, but the Organic oils also leave your skin oh-so-soft ready to take on the World! Because I sunless tan often, I always need a good exfoliating product in the shower which is why you can find one of these Organic Bath Co. scrubs in my bathroom at all times. When I exfoliate, I do prefer a more coarse scrub and I find that these satisfy that need, all without being too harsh on the skin. I also am a sucker for anything that includes Almond Oil as I find it really does brighten and tighten the skin! Some of my other favorite scents by them are the Lavender Stress Less & the Refresh Mint, both so aromatic without being overwhelming! To Use: Once the skin is wet from the shower or bath, scoop out a decent amount and begin scrubbing onto the areas in need of exfoliation. I use this scrub on my entire body, with the exception of my face. This scrubs is a bit too coarse for facial use, in my opinion. Coupon Code: Organic Bath Co. has a variety of enjoyable scented scrubs and Organic products, so be sure to check out their entire lineup over at Shop Conscious Beauty where code organicbunny will save you 10% OFF your entire purchase, these would make the perfect stocking stuffer if you ask me!

VERED Organic Botanicals Review by theorganicbunny on September 28, 2015September 28, 2015 It’s been a minute since I posted about new skincare lines, mostly because I like giving my skin breaks here and there from trying out too many products in short periods of times.

Favorite Natural Makeup Items by theorganicbunny on September 6, 2015April 10, 2019 Many of you ask me my most favorite makeup items so I wanted to do another post on the items I use each and every single day when I am wearing makeup that is. This will be a really to-the-point blog, showing you a photo of my makeup and then linking you to each item used! If you have any specific questions just email me or comment below! Also, almost every single item below has a coupon code so be sure to read entirely to get the codes to shop! Naturally Glam Daily Makeup Look- Skin Care- First you want to prep your skin with a hydrating facial oil to allow the foundation to sit properly. I use Kypris Antioxidant Dew first and then layer the Beauty Elixir III on top. Let each saturate in for about 5 minutes before applying makeup. Be sure to not overdo the oil or you will be left with super oily skin. Foundation- Now that your skin is hydrated properly, you now want to apply your foundation. I am in love with the Kjaer Weis cream foundation in the color Just Sheer. I apply this to my entire face using their Blush Brush which really allows for the most amazing, smooth, flawless application. This foundation is my #1 must have item as it truly covers everything, all while being non-toxic and made with Organic ingredients. Once my KW foundation is applied, I then will apply a bit more with a Beauty Blender when I want fuller coverage. Because this makeup is so lightweight, you can apply it with a pretty heavy hand without it ever looking heavy or thick. Bronzer- Now that my foundation is on, next up is a bronzer. I start with the Vapour Luminous Foundation Stick in a darker color than my face to contour (#135), applying it along my cheekbones, forehead, chin, and nose for dimension. Once I have it drawn on, I then blend in with the Blush Brush, it really blends out so nicely and almost effortlessly. Once that layer is blended into my foundation, I then go over certain areas I want shimmery with the Vapour Bronzer in Spicy. Apply where needed and then, blend again. Powders- After all the bronzer is applied, now it’s time to set it all! I set my makeup with the RMS Tinted Un-Powder in 2-3, my absolute favorite way to set my makeup! This soaks up all extra shine, leaving you with a matte, flawless finish. You can also add more, as needed, throughout the day, this never looks cakey or heavy which is why it’s my fave. Brows- I only use Eco Brow to fill in my brows, it’s 100% Natural and lasts all day long without ever smudging. I use a small amount of the Penelope color, dipping my Defining Brush into the pot and using short, light strokes to fill in the brow. With this product, you only need a tiny amount so this will realistically last you all year, if not longer. Lashes- My all-time favorite mascara is the Lily Lolo classic black mascara. This gives me long, clump-free lashes that do not smudge and hold up all day. PS- My lashes look like crap because I got lash extensions that damaged them. Lips- My go-to combination right now is the Jane Iredale liner in Spice paired with a nude or taupe lipstick like Naughty by Red Apple Lipstick or 27 Kisses by Nudus. This gives a darker wine colored outer with a nude inner to blend into a nice soft berry color. Read More
Flu Fighting Juice by theorganicbunny on September 5, 2015 I am going to keep this blog pretty simple and to the point, mostly because I still am sick and have no energy to type up an elaborate blog. Most of you know I have been pretty sick and now that I am feeling a tad better, with enough energy to actually walk to the kitchen, I really wanted to load up on some natural foods to really fight off this flu for once and for all. Whenever your immune system is feeling down or weak here are some of the best fruits and veggies to load up on! Immune Boosting Fruits, Veggies & Spices- Ginger- I used to hate ginger but after learning about how good it was for me, I’ve found a new love and appreciation for this spicy little root. Another way to fight inflammation and bacteria, Ginger is a very effective root to add to juices when sick thanks to Gingerol, the bioactive substance in it which helps lower the risk of infection. Cayenne Pepper– Cayenne Pepper is one of my all-time favorite spices to cook with, but did you know that by adding it to your juices you can ease upset stomachs, ulcers, sore throats, and irritating coughs? Cayenne pepper also aids in breaking up and moving congested mucus which means relief from flu symptoms generally follows making this one of the best detoxifying ingredients ever. Lemon– Not only are lemons known to fight the free radical formulations known to cause cancer, they’re also great for fighting the flu. Lemons are high in Vitamin C which helps the immune system battle germs that cause a cold or flu. Even sipping on warm water with lemon and cayenne pepper each day is extremely beneficial for preventing these illnesses from happening in the first place. Read More
