Happy Monday Morning!  Hope everyone had a great weekend and is ready to get the new week started!

So, let’s get to some fun green stuff! I have another great company for you this morning. Tilvee: Eco Ethical Skin Care creates facial, bath and body products that are safe for you and the environment:

Our Commitment (from the site)

* To produce fresh, innovative, nutrient rich skin care products without the use of synthetic fragrances, harsh preservatives and ANY potentially harmful ingredient.
* To educate our customers about ingredients used in the skin care industry so they can make healthy decisions.
* To be on the forefront of research and efficacy of naturally sourced ingredients.
* To be committed to green business practices.

Tilvee also takes a great approach towards making sure their products meet healthy and safe standards, and also their business as a whole.  They have a great Green Business Practices plan in place that covers every area of their business; paper, shipping, packaging, even their building materials. Additionally, I love their site design.  It’s visually pleasing and easy to navigate.

So, I got to try out their Acai Pomegranate Rejuvenating Masque: (from site)

Unique dry masque formula rich Acai & Pomegranate that gently purifies & instantly softens.

WHAT IS IT:
Our Acai Pomegranate Rejuvenating Masque is an innovative dry masque formula that purifies, instantly softens and boosts the skin’s radiance. Pomegranate and Acai deliver powerful antioxidants to fight free radical damage and aging. Rhassoul clay detoxifies, improves tone, texture and elasticity. Bamboo gently exfoliates to reveal smoother skin.

I loved this masque! Be forwarned that it will make a bit of a purple red mess and temporarily turns your finger nails a little purple. I guess it’s really no different then if you were eating a Pomegranate. However, the result is insanly soft skin with a kind of tingling feeling.  I just mixed it with a very small amount of water, but I will be trying their Cranberry & Honey recipe soon! I also got my husband to join in the mini-makeover and it really calmed red flakiness he suffers from. While we were at it I slapped some on my mother-in-law (no, not literally) the next morning and she was very happy with how clean and smooth her face felt. All of us were very happy with this Masque!

Flaunt It! Monday: Tilvee

Monday morning once again! Last week was a crazy week of monsoon rains. The rest of the country had some freak weather, too and I hope this post finds all of you safe and warm.

Another week of pampering your winter skin.  This time by Nurture My Body. Their products are 100% biodegradable, cruelty-free, and do not contain harmful synthetic fragrance oils, preservatives, petroleum products, FD&C colorants and dyes, parabens, phthalates, or other toxic chemicals.  Additionally, they come to us with an endless list of credentials to make sure you are using a safe and eco-friendly product!

This company is run by a husband and wife team Patty & Rich.  I met Rich on Twitter and he has become a fun Twitterbud on my follower list!!

All my products came in a very timely manner.  Since I had such an issue deciding from all the great products I left it in Rich’s hands.  The following are the site descriptions of the products that were sent to me (feel free to click the links for the full description):

Herbal Body Wash

Organic Herbal Body Wash blend contains essential oils of red mandarin for its ability to balance your skin, its natural antioxidants that help protect your skin, cedar atlas for its grounding and soothing effect on irritated skin, and rosemary verbenone to improve your circulation.

Citrus Hand and Body Lotion

Our Organic Citrus Hand and Body Lotion blend contains essential oils of bergamot for its relaxing quality and ability to care for oily skin, white grapefruit for its ability to help tone the skin tissue, and lavender for its quality to penetrate quickly while rejuvenating the skin and relaxing the mind.

Lavender Toner

Our Organic Lavender Toner contains Certified Organic lavender for its anti-inflammatory properties that instantly remove redness and irritation. It is ideal for sensitive skin and skin prone to dryness; it also enhances the regeneration of your skin cells.

I will immediately start with a slight repeat from last week.  There is really something to be said for natural fragrance.  It is such a HUGE difference from the many companies out there that throw a bunch of junk together to try to make something smell like the real thing!

The Citrus lotion is wonderful! Smells like I rubbed down with raw fruit, seriously!!  It’s not a thick lotion, but it covers well and my skin feels very soft this morning.

The Herbal wash is very sudzy. I have mentioned in a past posts my issue with natural cleaners and soaps. I would find that any products that I don’t want to soap up do and those I do… don’t.  But this past my test, a little bit want a long way! Thumbs up!

The lavender toner, I had to read up on this one since I had never used toner before.  Just spray on before applying your face creme.  So, I did and applied last week’s face creme on top.  It was the flowery scent with the lavender again, not my favorite, but since I am continuing to see great results from last week I am willing to add this to my regimen to battle the crease.

Once again some really great products and I LOVE the blue bottles that can be reused once you empty the original contents.

Rich and Patty are offering one  of my readers a wonderful Gift Box valued at over $50.00. Check out Nurture My Body and look around their products, come back here and tell me what you’d pamper yourself with for an entry.  Tweet or stumble this post for an extra entry.  If you haven’t subscribed to my feed be sure to do so for another entry.  Make sure to put each thing you do in a separate comment for a separate entry! A winner will be picked Wednesday Dec. 17.  Good Luck!

Flaunt It Monday! Nurture My Body

Michele Dupper, a rep from miessance sent Eco-Office Gals a sample of the Sunflower Body Wash to try out and review. The product smells GREAT!!! Very fresh, I smell the citrus smells from the orange/lemon & lime peels more then the sunflower it refers to on the package, but no complaints from this peanut!
It is also very creamy and sudzy. I notice some soaps that don’t have all those words you can’t pronounce in the ingredients sometimes lack in soapiness, but this one did the job of lathering me up!
Great stuff! Only thing I didn’t like: the sample pouch didn’t have the starter slit, so since I was already in the shower I had to tear it open with my teeth… I don’t recommend the taste! LOL!
Anyone that purchases the product should not have this issue, but why do they do that with samples??
Interested in learning more about miessence products? Visit Michele at Truly Organic Beauty
and be sure to let her know Eco-Office Gals sent you!!
Have a great weekend!
Regards,
Jen
