So, if you've perused my blog at all you may have realized that I LOVE my 100% Pure products. In my ever-continuing search for all natural & pure skincare and makeup, this brand has been a staple for me. They are a great company with amazing products that only have wonderful ingredients. I hadn't placed an order in some time and had been eye-balling their new water foundation so I decided to go ahead and get a few things. Well, a few things led to quite a few, but to be fair a couple were restocking purchases of items I now can't live without. :) Okay, let's get into it!
Red Wine Resveratrol Eye Cream - 1 fl. oz.
The first time I tried this eye cream it was a free gift with order. Since finishing that up, I've been using their Coffee Bean Eye Cream which I also love, but decided to switch it up. I felt like I needed more wrinkle defense and less depuffing. It's a rich & creamy, off-white cream and a little goes a long way. I apply under my eyes in the morning after moisturizing and I apply under and on the lid at night, again after moisturizing. It's not a miracle cream but I do notice that my fine lines are less noticeable and my eye area is smoother since using this.
Fruit Pigmented Long Lasting Concealer: White Peach - 0.1 oz
This was a repurchase. I was on the search for a NATURAL moisturizing, yet long-lasting under eye concealer and this. is. it. my friends. P.S. - You can also use it all over your face. I have the world's driest under-eyes and every long-lasting concealer I've tried has accentuated this. Majorly. Horribly. But this stuff is fantastic! It's creamy but doesn't look shiny. I can even set it lightly with translucent powder and still no crepe eyes, amazing! If you don't set it, I'd say it could last a good 6 hours in normal indoor conditions, and if you do I've noticed it can last around 9. If you do have oily skin, I'd definitely suggest setting it. When it does start to wear away it's very natural and not noticeable, not patchy or streaky, like other brands. I lightly apply under my eyes with my ring finger (I find this helps it melt in better than a brush) and on any spots after my foundation. Then I lightly set with the translucent powder. One more thing to note: This is NOT a full coverage concealer. With two "coats" I get a nice medium coverage. But I prefer this, since I lean toward a more natural look.
Fruit Pigmented Healthy Skin Foundation: White Peach - 1 fl. oz.
&
Sheer Water Foundation: White Peach - 1 fl. oz.
I have been using a natural mineral foundation for years and love it, but I started noticing that my skin is getting drier as I get older. During the past 6 months, my skin was looking dull and flaky even after exfoliating and applying moisturizing masks, etc. I started using my tinted moisturizer from 100% Pure, which made my skin look better, but I desired a bit more coverage day to day. That's where these foundations come in. My intention was to mix them together. I had read that the full coverage was indeed full coverage and the water was light, so in my mind mixing would get me medium coverage. Obviously, haha. Anyhow, I ordered both and have since been LOVING the combo. It took a couple applications to find out the right ratio, but I have been liking just a bit of the full-coverage (about a lentil-sized amount) to a full squirt of the water. I always make sure I apply my 100% Pure primer first and a few spritzes of rose water before applying the foundation mix. It spreads more easily this way. My skin glows now and I love it!!
Black Tea Long Last Liquid Eye Liner - 0.23 fl. oz.
I haven't experimented much with this product yet. To be truthful, it intimidates me. Haha. I'm just not used to a liquid liner and need a little practice. But I plan to perfect it! Anyhow, I love that this liquid liner is all natural and made from micronized black tea leaves instead of harsh synthetic dyes. It looks like a rich black color and pretty opaque. It also claims to be long lasting and smudge proof. I definitely hope so, since that is usually an issue for me and my oily eyelids.
Fruit Pigmented Lip Glaze: Lychee - 0.088 oz.
I don't wear much lipstick or even any lip color, so when I do I love products like this. Something moisturizing that gives a sheer wash of color. There are many colors to choose from in this line, from cool pinks to corals to mauves. Lychee is a mauve pink with warm undertones. It's one of those "my lips but better" colors.
Creamy Polish: Watermelon - 0.5 fl. oz.
From this purchase, I was probably most excited to get this product. 100% Pure recently added a natural nail polish line to there products. All are "10-free" - free of formaldehyde, toluene, DBP, camphor, formaldehyde resin, xylene, parabens, fragrances, phthalates, and animal ingredients, which is the cleanest I've seen. I chose this color because it got a lot of good reviews and because I don't have this color in my collection yet. It's called Watermelon, but I think it pulls more orange than pink, and it also has micro shimmer in it. I love it, it's a prefect color for spring/summer.
Because of my order total, I also got a free gift, the Vitamin C Serum, a $38.00 value! I actually have wanted to try this product but wasn't willing to pay the price for it, so this worked out in my favor. I've been trying this serum out for several weeks and, though I can't definitively say if it's making a difference in my skin, I have noticed that my skin is generally more bright and clear than it was before. I'll have to reevaluate once I finish it.
Also, I haven't included prices because 100% Pure recently went through some price increases, so check out the website for pricing info.
