Another Lauren Brooke Cosmetique product distributor is Raindance Cosmetics, a Canadian online store specializing in healthy and natural beauty products.

After the founder’s daughter experienced a painful reaction to the hand soap in her elementary school, Angela was driven to learn what is used in commonly available personal care products. She was shocked to find harsh chemicals and commonly-known carcinogens throughout the lists of ingredients.  Even brands she purchased from local health food stores contained these chemicals and unlisted by-products of ingredient combinations that have been banned in other countries for years!

Inspired by The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics, Raindance Cosmetics was created to share information that affects the Canadian public and is the Canadian source for safe cosmetics and personal care products which are also beautiful and delicious to use.   They offer flat rate shipping to anywhere in Canada for only $5!

With summer in full-swing, there’s nothing better than a day outside hiking, swimming, or boating.  But with all the outdoor fun can also come sunburns.

Here are some tips to try for sun-fatiqued skin:

1) As soon as possible afterward a sunburn, liberally spray or dab Lauren Brooke Revitalizing Hydration Tonique on the red areas. Apply as often as desired for two to three days.

2) After about 24 hours, when the skin has cooled down and the burning has stopped, apply Lauren Brooke Bath & Body Oil or Body Butter for added moisturization and additional vitamin and mineral replenishment.

Our Revitalizing Hydration Tonique contains an exclusive Botanical Mineral Complex which is derived from plants, thus making the liquid much more bio-available to fatigued skin cells for deep moisture replenishment and mineral rebalance.  A potent blend of antioxidant-rich Organic Green Tea & Comfrey Extract, plus a powerful Frankinsence & Myrrh Essential Oil blend are added to this Tonique to give your skin what it needs for optimal rejuvenation and skin-health support.

Here’s a beautiful makeover and comments from Todra Payne, Celebrity Makeup Artist and founder of The Healthy Beauty Project.  She has used one of our green eyeshadow shades for Spring colors:

Green is the color of spring – not just in gardens, but on eye lids this season. Green eye shadow is to eyes what coral gloss is to lips. So we decided to show you the real world way to wear green. Sometimes (well, most times) runway beauty looks don’t translate well “on the street”.

Not so with green eye shadow. And another bonus? It looks amazing on brown eyes.

Elivi is wearing Lauren Brooke Cosmetique’s Deep Emerald matte mineral eye shadow on the lid with Diamonds sparkle shadow as a highlighter under the brow and in the inner corners of her eye. Notice the soft blush color and the light coral lips? Perfect combination for spring.

When you try greens, don’t be afraid to experiment with various shades and textures.

You’ve got the good stuff, now how do you use it?

Here are some great tips for using Lauren Brooke Creme Foundation:

1)  A foundation brush, cosmetic wedge, or just clean fingertips can be used to apply the foundation.  When applying, use upward and outward strokes to avoid stretching or pulling the skin.  This will help reduce the potential for future wrinkles – nice!

2)  The foundation has been created in such a way that you can control the amount of coverage desired by increasing or decreasing the amount of Creme applied.  The less  Creme that is used, the lighter the coverage will be, the more Foundation that is used, the greater the coverage will be.  If even more coverage is desired, you can use either Creme Concealer underneath, or Silk Veil / Powder Foundation over the Creme.

3)   If your skin tends to be more  oily, using Lauren Brooke Finishing Powder over the Creme will help to absorb any excess oils and give a more matte look.

Using these tips will give you a natural, beautiful look with gorgeous coverage!

Enjoy!

Read up on Lauren Brooke Cosmetiques Botanical Lip Gloss.  It was recently reviewed by the Glam Organic Goddess and here’s her expert review!

http://theglamorganicgoddess.blogspot.com/search/label/Lauren%20Brooke%20Cosmetiques

Review: Lauren Brooke Botanical Lip Gloss

Goal: To find a Lip Gloss with a lot of pigment & pearly shimmer that’s safe.
Brand I Tried: Lauren Brooke Cosmetiques
Product: Botanical Lip Gloss in two different colors: “LOVE” & “PIXIE”
Product Description: (directly from their website) Soothe your lips with Lauren Brooke Botanical Lip Glosses. Made with 100% Organic oils and natural coloring and flavor s. Feel good knowing your lips have the best.
Ingredients: Organic Castor Seed Oil, Organic Coconut Oil (cocos nucifera), Organic Beeswax (cera alba), Castor Wax (ricinus communis), Rosemary Oleoresin, Certified Organic Pomegranate Extract, Certified Organic Green Tea Extract, Natural Vitamin E Oil, Stevia Extract. (+/- mica, Certified Organic Sweet Orange Essential Oil, Certified Organic Raspberry Oil Blend, Certified Organic Peppermint Oil, Certified Organic Spearmint Oil, Vanilla CO2).

• Price: $8.00
• Size: 2 ml twist up tube w/ attached brush for easy application.
• Uses: Lip Gloss.
• Amount Of Product Used For It To Be Effective: I got a sample size- so I didn’t have the actual applicator that the full-size comes with. At first, I didn’t use enough- once I applied a little more- I was in LOVE! Holy pearly-pigment!
• First Impression: Finally a natural lip gloss that smells like berries & has a lot of pigment!
• Visual Attractiveness: As I mentioned above- I have a sample of just the product and can only tell what the tube and applicator look like from the picture. I am generally not a fan of that type of tube because I always feel like too much comes out- but I can’t really say for sure until I try it though.
• Texture: Like Butter- but not really greasy. The perfect consistency!
• Scent: Smells like berries! YAY! Raspberry Pomegranate flavor/ scent. Awesome! If you LOVE Bubble and Bee Organic’s Raspberry Body Butta- this is like Body Butta for your lips Ladies!
• How Long I’ve Used It: About a week… it had me at hello!
• Easy To Find And Where? Naturaljoybeauty.com & Laurenbrookecosmetiques.com.
• Acquired: Sent to me to review from Natural Joy Beauty.
• Customer Service: Joy at Natural Joy Beauty is really great! If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask her. I am very picky about everything- so I just asked for her honest opinion, and she really helped me decide what was best for me based upon my preferences which really counted in my book. My advice: try a sample first so that if you don’t like it- you aren’t making a huge investment. Most of their products seem pretty reasonably priced with very impressive, safe ingredients. Definitely one of my favorite new stores to shop at online… Highly recommended!
• Sample, Trial, Travel Sizes?: I’m not sure about Lauren Brooke Cosmetiques, but Natural Joy Beauty does… I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that they offer samples of almost every product they sell – most are about .99 cents each- what a deal! Please stop by her website and check them out!
• EWG’s Skin Deep – Cosmetic Safety Database Rating: 1.
• Verdict: Hello Luscious Lips! I’m in LOVE! Ok, this is one of my favorite natural products so far! I got samples of two different colors: “Love” which is a nice girly-girl pearl pink. And “Pixie” which is a very light pearl-pink. Both are very pretty and have tons of pigment and iridescent shimmer- but not glitter. On, they look similar to my Bonne Bell but BETTER (which I loved… R.I.P. Vanilla Swirl Lip Lites LOL). My only concern is that I’m not so sure I’m gonna like the applicator tube- I will update when I get one- in the mean time I guess we’ll have to wait and see though. Price point isn’t bad and I also heart the way they taste and smell- just as girly, makeup things should! I also feel as if I might actually be able to skip the lip balm when I’m wearing this- it’s soooo smooth, creamy and moisturizing, and isn’t sticky at all! Ahhhh…. LOVE! Haha. Bottom line… I would definitely buy both of these products again! In fact I even want to try all of the other colors too! That’s a big step for me who usually plays it safe with my light neutral pink. If you’re looking for an awesome Natural (not natural looking- which is a good thing) Lip Gloss- This is the one… so pucker-up my little pretty!
