M’kay, let’s dive in to this bad boy!
LaRitzy January 2016 Vegan Beauty Box:
Zoe Organics Cream, $18 – Right off the bat, love the glass packaging. This all-natural, organic cream/body butter is made with straight up plant-based butters, oils and extracts. It’s “naked” a.k.a. fragrance free but it still has a very subtle and pleasant nutty scent. This stuff is hella pure and mega concentrated, so a lil’ goes a long way. I’ll be keeping this baby nearby to periodically slather on my dragony-ass, winter hands.
GlamNatural Lip Cream in Love Affair, $20 – This super smooth and moisturizing, shea butter-based lip cream in Love Affair, is a beautiful plum with sparklies. It’s slightly translucent, yet buildable – I swatched it below using two swipes. It’s a lovely neutral shade that’s bound to complement most skin tones. The formula feels good on the lips – not too matte and not too shiny, and the ingredients are pretty clean.
Mai Couture Highlighter Papier in St. Barts (50 sheets),* $28 – I first discovered Mai Couture in Petit Vour’s December 2015 beauty box, and I was seriously blown away by the blush paper samples I received. I LOVE innovative, time-saving beauty hacks, and being able to apply your blush and highlighter without a makeup brush is frigging GENIUS! Will someone please make foundation “papiers” too? These gorgeous, sparkly highlighter sheets are paraben-free and talc-free, and are literally and simply made with bleached kraft softwood pulp, mica, kaolin clay and iron oxides. That’s it! To use: Open the cute lil’ book of highlighter sheets, tear half sheet and pat shimmer side of paper above apple of cheeks, along nose bridge, forehead, chin, and decolletage. I swatched this peachy shade on my finger below, but expect mad IG selfie action with these in the following weeks.
Otavea Lemon Exfoliator,* $6 – This lemon scented scrub is a LaRitzy exclusive, so I’ve got warm tinglies for the special sneak peek. It smells like zesty lemon pie and it’s made with wholesome goodness like cane sugar, organic carrier oils, essential oils, and lemon peel. I love that the scrubby bits are super fine… extra chunky scrubs can be harsh and less fun to use (it’s a hang-up of mine, so I thought it would be worth mentioning).
*my faves
Overall impression: LaRitzy is definitely consistent with exceeding my expectations. The value of this box is insane – $70+ worth of goodies for $25 and that includes free shipping! Such a crazy-good deal! My faves of the bunch are the highlighter papiers and the yummy lemon body scrub. ♥ As always, it was a nice variety of makeup and skincare products, and I had fun discovering healthy and vegan, new-to-me beauty brands like Otavea and Zoe Organics.
