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. While I try to keep a steady flow of content for you all, sometimes my face gets irritated with me so I have to try things out in moderation.

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
Tria Hair Removal Laser 4X Review by theorganicbunny on September 4, 2015 I have wanted laser hair removal for the loonnngest time, but because of the super high cost and need for various, inconvenient office visits, I have yet to try it out, that was until now. I saw this Tria Hair Removal Laser 4X at Sephora a while back and have had my eye on it ever since. I began reading more about it, learning the risks as well as the success rates, and after hearing almost all rave reviews I decided to try it out for myself. I have always been envious of the girls with barely there hair, so I am really hoping that this helps thin my coarse hair out, eventually eliminating it once and for all. This Tria Hair Removal Laser 4x is the first and only FDA-cleared hair removal laser available for home use, using the same diode laser technology preferred by dermatologists. The Tria Laser 4X targets and permanently disables the hair follicle to stop hair growth on the face and body for permanent results, score. I was very concerned that there would be radiation or skin damage risks associated with this device and honestly, I have yet to read anything alarming enough to prevent me from trying it out. This device comes with a skin sensor that scans your color of skin and lets you know if it is safe for your pigment or not. You also are urged to test patches of your skin on low settings before so you can gage your skin’s reaction to the treatment before going to town on your entire body. Read More
Estancia La Jolla Day Spa Review by theorganicbunny on August 25, 2015 I am pretty obsessed with day spas, I feel like for what they cost, they’re totally worth it! Most treatments cost around $100, and with that usually comes the service and full use of the spa’s amenities which is why I love it because you can really make a full day of it! Get there a little early, hang out by the pool, order some food and drinks and then around 2pm start your actual treatment, ahhh the perfect day. Once you’re done with the treatment, you then get to play in the steam room or sauna and then shower with all of their cool products… so yeah, it’s safe to say spending the day at the spa is my favorite way to spend $100 bucks, especially when the treatments are Organic! This weekend I was in the mood for a little pampering, and after hearing that one of my favorite hotel spa’s, Estancia La Jolla, was now offering a JAVA Coffee Infused Smoothing Treatment, you know I had to check it out. I first tried the JAVA line after receiving it from my Beauty Hero’s subscription box, and ever since I’ve been a huge fan of the all-natural line. To give you a better idea of how my day was spent at Estancia La Jolla, I will outline the day here for you! Read More
May Lindstrom The Problem Solver by theorganicbunny on August 14, 2015August 14, 2015 This morning I woke up with problems, mostly skin problems, however, anytime I wake up with blemishes, redness or irritations I always reach for my May Lindstrom The Problem Solver mask, as it really does exactly that- solves my skin problems! This is a detoxifying mask designed to effectively purify your skin, tighten and shrink your pores, soothe any inflammations, fight & heal blemishes, all while detoxifying the skin with delightful ease and power! May Lindstrom The Problem Solver- This is a powder mask that you mix with water to create a luxurious, magical mousse you then paint onto your skin. This mousse can be used just about anywhere you are looking for some relief, I sometimes even put it on my chest, especially if I have an Eczema or Psoriasis spot that needs healing. If I do not feel like mixing a big batch of this up, or do not want to apply it to my entire face, this product also works amazing at spot treating specific areas that need it the most. I use this product about once or twice a week on my entire face, or as needed as a spot treatment when problems pop up. Ingredients: This mask is packed full of powerful ingredients like antioxidant-rich Organic Raw Cacao, healing Bamboo Charcoal, soil nutrients, salts, and exotic warming spices like Organic Cinnamon and Organic Nutmeg that smell like a giant gingerbread house on Christmas morning! This mask also contains Fuller’s Earth Clay, Red Moroccan Rhassoul Clay, Organic Vanilla, Organic Lavender, Organic Marshmallow Root, and more! Read More
What’s Really In Vaseline Products? by theorganicbunny on July 8, 2015July 8, 2015 While I applaud Vaseline’s recent attempt to glamorize their brand, it’s pretty disturbing to know that people around the world are being fooled into thinking these products are safe! As you know by now, skin is our largest organ, soaking up almost everything we apply to it, which is why it is not ok to be lathering up in Vaseline’s products, packed full of some of the worst ingredients ever! Wondering what’s inside? First of all, Vaseline uses synthetic fragrances which can totally disrupt our hormones as well as cause allergic reactions. This product also contains Propylparaben AND Methylparaben, both known to mimic estrogen, causing healthy cells to survive like cancerous cells. Parabens continuously turn up in biopsies which is why I will never ever touch a product that contains them, ever! Vaseline then uses Phenoxyethanol, a potential neurotoxin that is known to depress the central nervous system. Long story short, Vaseline is not a brand that is safe to use daily and there really is no reason to when SO many organic and natural alternatives are out there! Some safer moisturizing lines to look into are TASTYFACE Organics, K.Vossnyc or MAHALO. All of these lines have Organic, Natural body moisturizers that work amazing and that will never put your health at risk. Even better, code organicbunny will get you a discount at checkout! Be sure to share this with a Vaseline loving friend. Read More
