Bare Naked Beauty

As I’ve said before, I get territorial about my new finds. I will selectively withhold information from people who I deem unworthy. No use throwing my pearls to the swine. In this case I have decided that my find was just too fantastic to keep to myself. In all of my benevolence I have decided to share it with you today. You should feel honored.

A few weeks ago while on a hunt for new products, I stumbled across the website for Bare Naked Beauty. They are an Australian company that practices what they preach. Proceeds from your purchases go to the development of renewable wind energy in Australia and to an orangutan adoption program. Yes, orangutans. I was blown away by pages of delicious Natural and Organic products that I had never even heard of before. I was giddy and my head was spinning. Two glasses of wine and a warning from El Jefe later, I had filled up my little cart. Well, and then removed a bunch of items. Okay…then put it back when he wasn’t looking. I finally narrowed it down to MyUtopia’s Rejuvenating Cleansing Oil and Est’s Vanilla Orange Velvet Lip Balm. Seriously, I’m not putting you on here when I say, my skin has never felt so soft. I have sensitive combination skin so it’s not like I can use just anything. This cleansing oil felt like I was pouring silk over my face and it had only the faintest fragrance. I could not stop touching my face, I know a big no-no. My skin was soft and moist but not oily and it lasted all day long. I want to marry this cleansing oil and have like ten thousand of its babies.

You know how I am about my lip balms so for me to say it’s good means a lot. It sincerely feels like velvet gliding over your lips and it makes me want to go steal some Girl Scout cookies. Picture me as Ann Margaret in “Tommy” only replace the baked beans with a vat of this lip balm. The product info says that it’s “highly lickable”…um yeah, that’s an understatement. I just want to take a spoon and eat it out of the cute little glass jar. As for the customer service can I just say *in my best valley girl voice* like oh my gawd, like they totally like rock like you know. I was expecting shipping from Australia to be ridiculous and really, it would have been worth it. But it was only $13 and some change, and it got here in about a week. I giggled with glee as I opened the box to find a bevy of samples and a hand written note in addition to my purchases. I will have to tell you later about the moisturizer sample I got..LOVING IT. By the way, the orangutang’s name is Bella. I big squishy heart them.
