These skin-tone eye shadow shades can brighten and help make eyes look younger.

Here’s an exciting beauty find that I am happy to share with you. Vegan brand, Mineral Fusion, has a new eye palette that is simply divine with six stunning neutral shades of mattes and shimmers that comes complete with eye pencil and double-ended brush applicator that you’re going to love!  

Besides formulating healthier cosmetics without parabens, artificial colors, phthalates, gluten to countless other harsh ingredients, the reason that I am so taken with this new Mineral Fusion Enchanted Eye Palette that PR sent is the beautiful versatility from these basic colors that are perfectly suited for anyone, regardless of skin tone. Whether your eyes are young or aging, these shadows go on smoothly and can brighten the lids without calling attention to flaws since they are more skin-tone eye shadows that can make that possible.

Check out my hair find for stronger hair!


My hair does not always make me happy.  Though I have a lot of it, at times I find more of it everywhere than normal.  Seriously with how thick my hair is, I don’t miss it but would rather have it stronger so I wanted to try Mineral Fusion’s new Strengthening Shampoo and Conditioner.

The Strengthening Shampoo ($9.99) has vegetarian keratin proteins, minerals, marula and peppermint oils that make up this gentle, clay-based formula that is also safe for  color-treated and all hair types. Immediately, I was taken in by its appealing fragrance, almost like a gourmand floral with how delicious it smelled.  What I noticed was it lathered nicely and seemed to lightly stimulate the scalp, which was refreshing before rinsing.

Nothing beats washing your hair the old-fashioned way with shampoo and water for that ultimate clean feeling.  However, life is unpredictable.  For those occasions when you can’t get your head to a sink because of illness or a busy schedule, a dry shampoo like the new ones from vegan brand, Mineral Fusion can really come in handy.

Their new line that PR sent are available for medium to dark hair like mine with a tint to it and a light shade formula for $12.99.  Like all Mineral Fusion products, you have no need to fear sulfates, glutens or parabens in these dry shampoos.

What you can expect is a weightless powder that you spray from an aerosol-free pump that comes out as a fine, tinted mist.  How it cleans is unique with kaolin clay for dealing with oil and vegetarian keratin, olive and lavender for shine and fluffing it back with volume.  

After targeting my roots with the spray and working this dry shampoo through my hair with my hands, I was surprised at how well it freshened up my hair.  My advice is to check Mineral Fusion Dry Shampoo out at their website or Whole Foods.

A beauty staple that every woman needs to assure her makeup appears flawless is the right face primer. If you are trying to limit the chemicals in your life and are gravitating toward vegan brands and natural skin care, then you would be interested to hear about the latest one I sampled with Mineral Fusion’s Hydrating Primer.

This nourishing formula is extremely kind to any complexion with its bounty of natural antioxidants for anti-aging, including collagen boosting peptides for help with fine lines.  It also has mineral water for hydration as well as botanicals like aloe, lavender, thyme and rosemary to calm as it works to form a protective film before makeup.  This is a gentle, 100% vegan primer that is free of parabens, phthalates, artificial color or gluten.

Mineral Fusion Mineral SPF 40 Face Moisturizer
I am a stickler when it comes to doing everything in my power to defend my face against the ravages of time and the elements. Therefore, I make it a habit to never leave the house without some form of sunscreen.  A wonderful multitasking mineral moisturizer that I tried lately was the one I received from vegan brand, Mineral Fusion.

In the past, I have had trouble with reactions from some chemical sunscreens.  However, I never had a problem with the mineral formulas or any of the skin care products that I have already sampled from Mineral Fusion.   

Their Mineral SPF 40 Face Moisturizer has no phthalate, paraben, gluten or artificial color and is 100% vegan to safeguard health.  Mineral Fusion’s formula is gentle with a marvelous, thicker consistency that is not too heavy or too light. Yet, this lotion feels practically weightless on your skin.  

This non-sticky lotion is quickly absorbing and makes a nice base to apply primer or your foundation without casting that white look that you can get when using a natural sunscreen  while satisfying the skin with plenty of moisture and sun protection.  

Furthermore, I never looked greasy wearing this through my day.  Though I do have to admit that my complexion is dry, but its shea butter along with the mineral water formula gave me a dewy look.

If you’re hunting for a great natural moisturizer/sunscreen that won’t make you look like a ghost afterwards, I urge you to try Mineral Fusion’s Mineral SPF 40 Face Moisturizer ($24.99) because it is a true find and the next best friend an aging face can have. Find it at the company’s website or Whole Foods.

Mineral Fusion SPF 15 Brightening Moisturizer Review


An easy way to give your complexion a lift is with a brightening skin care product from Mineral Fusion.  I liked how this vegan brand’s SPF 16 Brightening Eye Cream somehow managed to lighten some under eye darkness that I was curious about their SPF 15 Brightening Moisturizer to see how it compared.  

This product that PR kindly provided is steeped with vitamin C, orange and coconut oils as well as mineral water in a formula that also contains broad spectrum mineral SPF protection and light-reflecting Mica to give skin a healthy glow as it lightly moisturizes and guards against aging.

Review + SWATCHES : Mineral Fusion Blushes (Airy, Flashy)

**Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**
Mineral Fusion Flashy Blush.jpeg
Here is Flashy Mineral Fusion Blush.


Mineral Fusion Airy Blush.jpeg
This is Mineral Fusion Airy Blush.




















Who doesn’t want a blush that looks so natural that the color appears radiating from within you than some cosmetic?  There are quite a few companies that can help you do that.  However, not all their formulas with many, tiny printed chemical ingredients listed also on those products are the same despite those beauty results like what you can expect from Mineral Fusion’s cosmetics, a natural brand that offers a healthier option.  

This wonderful vegan cosmetic brand takes the guessing out of what possibly could be going into your skin with their purer formulas. Take the Mineral Fusion Blush that I got to try.  Their product has no talc, glutens, fragrance, phthalates or artificial color.  

Flashy is a warm pink with a peachy tone.  On the company’s website, they describe Airy as mauve shimmer.  Against my skin, this is a shimmer shade that has some copper to that mauve. These are the two lovely shades I was sent, but there are four other colors available. 


Swatches of Mineral Fusion Airy and Flashy Blush.jpeg
Here I swatched both Mineral Fusion Blushes for you.  Airy is closest to my wrist with Flashy on the left.

The best part is how your face looks once you dust this silky natural blush on.  I noticed that it seems to brighten the skin up, more than just from flattering color on the surface but at a deeper level.  Maybe it is the pomegranate, white tea, red tea, sea kelp, vitamins, and antioxidants that managed to pull that off. Whatever it is, my face loves the glow and so will yours.

If you want to feel like your skin is beaming, you need to visit Mineral Fusion website or Whole Foods and check out their Blushes ($21.99).

Review: Mineral Fusion Eye Shadows (Raw and Flash)

**Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**
Mineral Fusion two Eye Shadows.jpeg
Mineral Fusion Eye Shadows (Flash on the left and Raw on the the right)

Your eyes are very expressive and can say a lot about you. Using vegan makeup is a great way to accent them with beautiful color while also keeping them healthy without risking them to any potential toxins.  
Mineral Fusion is a brand that I really am fond of from my experiences with their cosmetics, skin and hair care products that I have already reviewed.  If you have color staples that are always in your makeup bag, then you definitely would be interested in this company’s line of powder eye shadow singles ($14.99).

I got a chance to try two shades from that line.  Raw is a matte dark espresso brown.  Flash is the highlight shade, a pale matte pink with a touch of beige.  On the company's website, Flash looks pinker almost with some violet to it.  My photo captured more beige than it is, but the color does have some pale pink to it off.

These gentle eye shadows glided on smoothly, blended well and made my brown eyes look even browner with this particular hue of brown. I do have my share of allergies, but this formula left my sensitive eyes free of redness or itching as some brands can do to me at times.

I didn’t have a problem with creasing, but I do always like to prime, which probably does help. These shadows wore until I took them off later after dinner with just my water-rinsing cleanser.

I do recommend stopping by Mineral Fusion or Whole Foods and trying these eye shadows for yourself. You will love them.  I promise!

Review: Mineral Fusion’s Limitless Beauty Cream - A Beauty Product That Should Be in Your Possession

**Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**

Mineral Fusion’s Limitless Beauty Cream.jpeg
Mineral Fusion’s Limitless Beauty Cream



One natural skin care product that is able to handle a multitude of issues arrived in a box of Mineral Fusion products.  I didn’t get a chance to try it until the other day, but I really was impressed with their Limitless Beauty Cream with all it did, especially if you have any dry patches or extra dry spots.

This little tube of intense moisturizing cream is free of parabens, phthalates, and 100% vegan that can be used on your face, body or nails to heal and soften with its nourishing ingredients like coconut oil, argan, olive leaf oil, shea butter and rosehip oil among others.

I tried it on a rough section on my elbow that always needs extra attention. Usually the creams and oils help banish that temporarily.  Sooner or later, I do get the same problem for some reason.  Well, I got to say this cream did wonders to correct that dry spot for me.  How long this improvement will last is still anyone’s guess, but it has only been a few days and the area is still soft even without continually moisturizing with this product. 

With how well it treated my worst problem with that one elbow, I will be keeping the Limitless Beauty Cream on hand at my house and another in my handbag from now on.  Next I plan on trying it when my hands get really chapped as they so often do when I wash them in public restrooms for some unknown reason.

For what Mineral Fusion’s Limitless Beauty Cream ($19.99) can do, I recommend it to one and all for all the skin help it can do.  You can find it at the company’s website or Whole Foods.

Review: Mineral Fusion Nail Polish Remover

**Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**
Mineral Fusion Nail Polish Remover.jpeg
Mineral Fusion Nail Polish Remover

The best chance you have to keep your painted nails healthy and strong is using a non-acetone polish remover.  After all, acetone-based formulas are harsher and can dry nails excessively to rob them of moisture.  However, if you are doubtful that a non-acetone polish remover is worth the higher price or can be as effective, then read my review of why I love Mineral Fusion’s Nail Polish Remover that arrived in a box of products that PR sent.

First of all, the smell of Mineral Fusion’s Nail Polish Remover isn’t nearly as powerful as the acetone-based variety.  The aroma is much more pleasant when it comes to your nostrils, which is already a win-win for me.

This product also quite effective in lifting off even dark shades of polish.  Normally, I need at least two cotton balls to remove the deep plum that I had on when I first tried this.  Yet, this polish came off with just a single cotton ball loaded with Mineral Fusion’s Nail Polish Remover.

My only complaint was my plastic bottle came rounded at the bottom and made it hard to stand upright. Besides that container’s deformity, I really was impressed with this polish remover and will definitely remember to pick more up when I run out.  

Your can find Mineral Fusion Nail Polish Remover ($7.99) at Whole Foods or visit Mineral Fusion’s website to learn more but do look into this product because it is a keeper!

Review: Mineral Fusion Illuminating Primer

**Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**
Mineral Fusion Illuminating Primer.jpeg
See how this Mineral Fusion Illuminating Primer gently glows even in its jar.   


Having a moist, youthful glow to your skin always helps knock off a few years from any face.  After all, when that healthy vibrance shines through, the complexion seems transformed and features look more refreshed. Therefore, I was curious how Mineral Fusion’s Illuminating Primer would perform.

This primer has a unique natural formula, infused with 24 karat gold flecks for better illumination. It also has plenty of natural antioxidants, orange fruit oil, and collagen-boosting peptide for its brightening and anti-aging benefits.  In keeping with Mineral Fusion’s sense of product purity, it also does not have any parabens, artificial color, talc, fragrance or phthaltaes that might be problematic to your health.
After I applied some of this primer, my skin felt wonderfully hydrated with a delicate shimmer when you looked at yourself from different angles.  It illuminated my face with such becoming softness that was very appealing and natural.  This primer also left my complexion utterly smooth to make for the perfect canvas for my foundation.

My list of products that I love from Mineral Fusion grows all the time.  Their Illuminating Primer ($28.99) is just another excellent find if you ask me.  Find it at Whole Foods or at Mineral Fusion’s website.

Review: Mineral Fusion Radiance Illuminating Powder

**Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**
Mineral Fusion Radiance Illuminating Powder.jpeg
You can do a lot multitasking with this one highlighting compact from Mineral Fusion.  


One of the best ways to keep your complexion thriving is by making smarter choices when shopping for cosmetics and skin care.  After all, your skin is your body’s largest organ.  Therefore, you need to give some thought to the type of ingredients that your skin can absorb. 

Mineral makeup can offer an excellent solution to keep your complexion healthy like Mineral Fusion’s Radiance Illuminating Powder ($29.99).  This all natural formula is 100% vegan, paraben, phthalate, SLS, and fragrance-free to give you more peace of mind compared to other cosmetics, crammed with tons of barely readable chemical ingredients that could give you reason for concern.

You got to love how Mineral Fusion’s Illuminating Powder can add color like those others but also benefit your complexion with anti-aging skin care ingredients such as pomegranate, sea kelp, red and white teas besides vitamins C and E for addition natural UV protection.  This product also has aloe vera to keep the skin smooth.

The colors in this compact are a soft pink, a beige-gold, a mauve, and white that when swirled together with a big brush can really put the perfect finishing touch to accentuate your cheekbones, brow bone for your eyes or basically anywhere you want to brighten up your complexion.  This is not some artificial glittery type of glow but more of a subtle gleam that appears much more natural looking like you're standing in the light when the sun hits.

Once again, Mineral Fusion produced another product that I really love and will keep on using.  When you’re next in the market for a new illuminator, I suggest visiting Whole Foods to find Mineral Fusion’s Radiance Illuminating Powder because it is a wonderful one to keep you beautiful!

Review + Swatches: Mineral Fusion Neutral Concealer Duo

Mineral Fusion Neutral Concealer Duo.jpeg
Mineral Fusion Neutral Concealer Duo

Though my under eye darkness has improved since discovering Mineral Fusion’s Brightening Eye Cream, I still need concealer to cover what remains.  PR sent along the brand’s Concealer Duo in Neutral so that I may try.

This 100% vegan concealer has pycnogenol, sea kelp, vitamins C and E, and licorice root for protecting and soothing the skin.  What it does not contain is paraben, phthalate, SLS or fragrance to concern yourself with. Nor does this brand test on animals, which is also to this company’s credit.

The consistency of the product is thick and creamy.  Though you can apply with your finger to beneath moisturized, primed eyes, I recommend using your concealer brush for doing your best work.  This concealer covers shadows nicely, but remember to lightly powder over where you laid the product down to keep it lasting longer.  Otherwise, it could travel to your creases, if you have them.  


Mineral Fusion Neutral Concealer Duo swatches.jpeg
Here I swatched both shades of this Neutral duo.  See how deep the one side is.

Only one of the two shades in this Neutral pan was light enough for me to use.  The other was too dark, a peachy-beige for it to do my fair coloring much good. 

There are three other color choices available besides Neutral from Cool, Deep to Warm at a cost of $24.99.  Visit Mineral Fusion’s website to learn more.  You can also find their Concealer Duos at Whole Foods.

Review + Swatches: Mineral Fusion Blush/Bronzer Duo (Rio Bronzer)

**Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**
Mineral Fusion Blush/Bronzer Duo.jpeg
These Mineral Fusion colors in this Blush/Bronzer Duo are more vibrant and deeper than this photo.  

What face doesn’t benefit from a healthy dose of realistic color?  A lot of brands can give your complexion that, but they also give you something else, mainly a long list of chemical ingredients that you would need a doctorate to figure out and a magnifying glass to read.  However, Mineral Fusion takes the guesswork out beauty buying with safer, gentler ingredients like with their Mineral Blush-Bronzer Duo that arrived for this review.

Besides having no parabens, artificial colors, fragrances, talc, or phthalates, you can feel good about sweeping the color on.  What else is great about this blush/bronzer compact is it’s helpful for defending against aging with pomegranate, red and white teas, and vitamins such as C and E while protecting a complexion from damaging UV rays with its minerals. 

Rio Bronzer that I got is the darker option with a golden bronze and a vibrant peachy shade with some slight pink to it.  It goes on velvety-smooth.  Just as wonderful was the fact that the colors are very natural appearing when I swept some on.  


Mineral Fusion Blush/Bronzer swatch.jpeg
This is what the Rio Bronzer shades appear like once I swatched them.

However, my only complaint was the bronzer shade was bit dark for my fair complexion.  I think the Blonzer choice would have been better with my coloring.  Regardless, this choice still works for paler complexions when you go lightly when applying.

Do visit Mineral Fusion and Whole Foods to find the Mineral Blush/Bronzer Duo ($29.99).  I think that you will be more than pleased with this product!

Review: Mineral Fusion SPF 16 Brightening Eye Cream for Under Eye Darkness!

**Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**
Mineral Fusion  SPF 16 Brightening Eye Cream.jpeg
Mineral Fusion SPF 16 Brightening Eye Cream won Mary's heart!


Since I have been beauty blogging, I have reviewed quite a few eye creams.  Some of those products worked better than others for smoothing out fine creases and moisturizing while providing a nice base before concealer and eye makeup.  However, I have never found one that did such a sensational job as Mineral Fusion’s SPF 16 Brightening Eye Cream.

This all-natural eye cream is a rich textured, white cream with light reflecting mica and zinc oxide for mineral SPF protection along with rose hip oil and avocado for hydrating the delicate skin in this area as well as firm it in its 100% vegan formula.  What you don’t have to worry about in this cream is any parabens, artificial color, talc, fragrance or gluten that might cause you sensitivity or pose a risk to health.

The first few days, I did not notice any real change from this cream.  It did smooth and moisturize just like the others and made it easy to apply my other eye cosmetics, but nothing exceptional that made it stand out. Then, something happened a couple of days later that really impressed me. 

On the fourth day of using this eye cream, I saw a dramatic change in how it lightened my under eye darkness.  Don’t get me wrong, but I still have some darkness in a small section at the corner of each eye. Nonetheless, most of the remaining darkness is greatly improved in color.  I have never seen anything do such and amazing job on my allergic shiners than this eye cream for whitening those dark circles.  If this cream did so much in just four days, I can only imagine how great my eyes are going to look with continued use.

Trust me on this, I have year round allergies that make dark circles an everyday occurrence.  Yet, this $24.99 eye cream did things that some pricier ones could not to turn this problem around.

With all sincerity, if you live with an under eye darkness problem, Mineral Fusion SPF 16 Brightening Eye Cream needs to be in your beauty bag.  After trying this product, I am confident that you will be thanking for turning you onto its awesome lightening power.

You can find it at Mineral Fusion or Whole Foods Markets, but do pick it up!  I love, love, love this eye cream and so will YOU!

Review + Swatches: Mineral Fusion's Glow & Go 3-in-1 Color Sticks (Terra Cotta, Rosette) for a Natural, Lit Up Glow That I Love!

**Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**
Mineral Fusion Terra Cotta  Glow & Go Color Stick.jpeg
This is the Mineral Fusions erra Cotta Color Stick.  This is a peach-pink.

For a sheer wash of fresh color, you got to love a cream blush for the believable flush it can give your cheeks.  Anyone with a dry complexion like myself would appreciate that moist radiance even more.  It can provide a “non-makeup” look, but also for the wonderful way this blush form feels against the skin.

I had the chance to try Mineral Fusion’s Glow & Go 3-in-1 Color Sticks in Terra Cotta and Rosette.  This mineral formulated cream blush stick is one that you can feel really good using.  With healthier ingredients to benefit the skin to repair, protect and soothe like pomegranate and white tea, vitamins, licorice root extract, aloe leaf juice and mineral pigments, they beautify while caring for the complexion without risking it to more dangerous chemicals.   
Mineral Fusion Rosette Glow & Go Color Stick.jpeg
Here is Rosette Color Stick, which is a great pink without any orange tones.

I liked the lightweight formula of these blush sticks and how easily they melted into the skin, leaving a beautiful breath of airy, natural color to my complexion with a delicate shimmer and no sparkling flecks. They also wear quite well.

Mineral Fusion Glow & Glo Color Stick swatches.jpeg
Rosette is closest to my wrist with Terra Cotta on the right.  Look at that beaming color.

Rosette is a nice brighter pink that gives cheeks that ideal glow to enliven your complexion. Anyone can wear this beautiful color.

Terra Cotta is just as lovely, and with the same depth of color, only this choice will give you more of a peach-toned pink glow while also brightening your cheeks with soft gleam.  

There are also other colors choices in this line, Berry Glow and Magnetic, which are shimmer free. They retail for $19.99.  Mineral Fusion 3-in-1 Color Sticks are available on the company’s website or Whole Foods Markets, but do think of trying these two shimmer shades especially for that lit up glow!

Review + Swatches: Mineral Fusion Nail Polishes Treating Nails to Healthier, Caring Color for Summer 2015!

**Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**
Mineral Fusion six nail polishes.jpeg
The Mineral Fusion Nail Polish colors from left to right are Blaze, Sapphire Dream, Bubble, Rose Quartz, Treasure, and ending with Lagoon on the right. 


Beautifully painted nails always give style and flair.  Yet, many nail polishes and lacquers have less than healthy ingredients when you read the labels.  If you find a healthier alternative like Mineral Fusion Nail Polishes that have a gorgeous range of 61 shades and incredible finishes from creams, glitter, metallic, sheer to iridescent that hold up through the rigors of your day at a reasonable price, then you got a keeper.

Though I had used other products from this brand, I had never tried any of their 100% vegan, free of formaldehyde, toluene, camphor and disbutyl phthalate nail polishes until six perfect colors for now arrived. The shades I got were Sapphire Dream (teal blue cream), Bubble (lavender cream), Lagoon (seafoam green cream), Treasure (mustard-yellow iridescent), Blaze (red-orange cream), and Rose Quartz (medium mauve-pink cream).


Mineral Fusion six nail polish swatches.jpeg
On my left hand is Sapphire Dream (thumb), then Treasure, Rose Quartz, Lagoon, and ending with Blaze on my little finger.  Bubble is on my right thumb.
All the shades with the exception of one that I swatched provided excellent coverage with just one coat. Only Treasure, the yellow one, took three coats and was tricky to apply since it colored the sides and kept missing the middle of the nail. 

As far as drying time goes, it did not dry instantly but was quite typical of other polishes that I've used.  

My favorite shades were the Rose Quartz and Blaze.   Then again, the Bubble was a lovely, muted gray with lavender shade that brightened once applied that also appealed to me.  

To my happy surprise, this nail polish wore much longer than I ever expected without chipping.  In fact, I had some on for close to a week before the need to remove it. 

When you think of all the good things that this polish offers at only $7.99 a bottle, then how can you not love it?  I know that I want more and am interested in picking up their base and top coats as well as their polish remover after this experience.  How about you?  Have you tried Mineral Fusion Nail Polishes?  If not, do check out their website!

Stir Your Senses With Mineral Fusion Earthstone Scented Body Wash and Lotion (Review)

**Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**
Mineral Fusion Earthstone Scented Body Wash and Lotion.jpeg
Mineral Fusion Earthstone Scented Body Wash and Lotion


Although Mineral Fusion has been around since 2007, I must admit this brand is new to me.  However, I am thrilled to be working with this environmentally responsible beauty company.  They take an interesting approach to beauty and the health of the consumer and planet in what and how they manufacture.  Their intent is to enhance as well as leave skin and hair in better condition after using their line. 

Today, I will be sharing my feelings with you about two of their Earthstone scented Body Wash and Body Lotion products.  In addition, I will be covering more of the line in future reviews so stay alert because I was quite pleased with what I have tried of the line as of now.

Earthstone, one of the three scents of their Body Wash, is just what you need to wake up in the morning with its earthy, herbal aroma.  In fact, I  consider  this scent unisex.  Guys would appreciate this bolder fragrance because it is not too girly if you like to have one bottle in your shower. 

Pour a little onto your sponge or mitt and you'll love how quickly this product lathers up into a great foam.  Using mineral-rich clay and organic aloe, cocoa butter, sunflower seed oil, hyaluronic acid, and vitamins, this is gentle, but deep cleansing type of wash that moisturizes and nourishes for optimum skin health.

Next, I layered more Earthstone Body Lotion over myself.  This is a lightweight scented lotion that comes in four varieties and is perfect for summer.  I discovered this is a nicely absorbing formula that didn't leave any greasy residue behind.  It was a delightful way to keep my skin fragrant since it softens in scent through the day to follow you while moisturizing without being too heavy to clog pores in the heat. 

With revitalizing minerals, cocoa butter, sunflower seed oil, hyaluronic acid, myrtle extract and vitamins, my dry skin responded wonderfully to the gentle hydrating lotion without any reactions or sensitivity issues.

Those individuals that are sensitive to products like I can be at times with my allergies should know that Mineral Fusion contains no paraben, SLS,  phthalate, gluten, or artificial colors. 

Both the Body Lotion (8-fl. oz) and Body Wash (8.5 fl. oz.) retail for $9.99 at Mineral Fusion or Whole Foods or plug in your zip code on their website for other places to buy.  

Looking for healthier alternatives for beauty products?  Then, I recommend checking out Mineral Fusion and both of these, especially if need something lighter for the warm weather.
