With the abundance of good non-organic based makeup, I admit to having a hard time sticking to all natural ones. It is just sweet that as hard as it is to stick to all natural makeup, we can always try to compensate by using all natural stuff when it comes to facial cleansing.

And because I have been experimenting much on different beauty products, I have almost forgotten the very killers that lurk around our bathroom. I seriously have to do some thorough checking and should stash away toiletries that contain these dangerous ingredients- Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLE) and Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES).

Regular readers know that Kikay Corner’s leaning has always been towards all natural and organic products. This is why I couldn’t be more thrilled to be able to witness the AHAVA Launch and Boutique opening last February 25, 2010.
AHAVA originated in Israel on the rich mineral resource of the Dead Sea. AHAVA is the sole company that has the license to extract these rich resources from the Dead Sea.
AHAVA is the Hebrew word for “love.” AHAVA came to skincare out of love for our native magical environment. Living and working by the Dead Sea, it’s easy to fall in love with the area’s unique topography and mystical charm. AHAVA then began to discover impressive healing powers of its natural resources.

The last time I have had to deal with blackheads was during the peak of “my oily face days” in college. It was crazy how much oil control films I consume throughout the day then and I can never be thankful enough that my facial glands have since tamed in their oil production.

Body Flavors was one of the sponsors who provided bloggers some goodies during Blog4Reviews Christmas party last month and I couldn’t be more glad. Aside from my son’s supply of organic VCO soaps running out, it is always a delight for me to try out new organic stuff.

It has been close to a month since our household has welcomed kefir, which is a natural probiotic that has practically endless benefits to our health. The most natural offshoot of doing the everyday kefir smoothie, is my learning to do the facial kefir mask and the kefir make-up remover.
Although my welcoming this kefir make-up remover did not exactly leave my favorite Clinique Take the Day off make up cleanser stashed away in my dresser drawer, it is still a great natural alternative I turn to every so often. The kefir make up remover recipe is pretty simple. All you need is a teaspoon of almond oil and 2 tbsps. of milk kefir and that’s it. Mix them together. Dip the cotton into the concoction, then cleanse your skin away naturally.

Right from when I was in grade school, I always knew that this was going to be my line. I started collecting scents when I was in first grade and eventually ventured towards other pretty things as I grew up. My taste has evolved since and my favorites changed through the seasons. As much as I love the “A-ha!” moments that new makeup discoveries give me, I will always lean towards natural beauty products. I did try a couple of minerals before, but nothing seems to deliver as much as the one I mentioned in my previous post.
You can achieve a refreshingly rejuvenated skin with the new Organic Thanakha Soap. The amazing formula of this top-quality soap is an exceptional blend of 100% ORGANIC THANAKHA POWDER, as the main active ingredient combined with the unique skin whitening & anti-oxidant properties of Glutathione and Rose hip extract, respectively, which are both known to successfully diminish scars and blemishes. Retails for P150 or US$3.5/ bar. Minimum of 2 bars per order.

All Organics Jojoba Oil is a must have for every household. It repairs hair damage, can be used as an eye make-up remover, cuticle oil and an effective dry lip revitalizer. It can also relieve inflamed skin, psoriasis, eczema and dermatitis.
It has been more than two months since I started using Leyende’s Face Canvas moisture glider & make-up base. The timing could not have been more perfect. I was about to grab the six times pricier Smashbox but I couldn’t get myself to pay for something that I haven’t tried before for a day’s worth of job. Boy am I glad the cheapskate got the best of me right there. If not, I wouldn’t have known how Leyende’s Face Canvas was created to complement just about any foundation I use. I switch between YSL Matt Touch Foundation to Nutrogena Healthy Skin Enhacer.
