COOLA Sunblock For Your Most Sensitive Skin

A few months ago, my family was lucky enough to spend two weeks enjoying Hawaii’s Big Island. Just before we left, my good friend Storey handed me a tube of Coola Mineral Baby SPF 45. As far as baby sunscreens go, I’m pretty discerning: our 2 year-old daughter is about as fair as they come and she has [...]

I’m Not Vegan… But My Skin Is. DeVita Solar Protective Moisturizer SPF 30+

Continuing the exciting foray into natural products, I found myself perusing the skincare section at Whole Foods a few months ago. My daily SPF 15 moisturizer had run out and I decided to try something different and, hopefully, more environmentally and skin friendly than my previous product. WFM has a laudable selection of Paraben-free, dye-free, [...]

Beauty Products That Give Back: BeadForLife Shea Butter Products

Many of you may be familiar with BeadForLife’s brightly colored bracelets, earrings and necklaces made from recycled paper. If you haven’t seen these awesome accessories before, check out their website for all of your Holiday shopping needs! I’m a big fan of BeadForLife: their business model is built around not only helping Ugandans rise up out of poverty, but [...]

Shine On with RUSK Thermal Shine Spray and Deepshine Oil

A few weeks back, I received samples of Rusk’s Thermal Shine Spray ($16.00) and Deepshine Oil ($29.95 at ULTA and Stylesource.com) along with some photos of Lea Michele, Kyra Sedgwick, and Tina Fey wearing 2010 Emmy coifs styled by a combination of RUSK products. Now, I may not have a professional hair and makeup team [...]

Cleaner Than A Hippie: ONE Natural Body Soap

Arriving in 100% recyclable/compostable packaging, ONE Natural Body Soap is attractive from the start. I received a sample of the “Peace” fragrance, which is a woods-y, citrus-y scent in a deep maroon bar. I wasn’t totally enthused by the scent at first – it’s very masculine – but my husband loved it. The lather is [...]

Zit-B-Gone With Erno Laszlo Targeted Blemish Control

Gone are the days when a good sing-y, burn-y, peeling-the-upper-layer-of-skin-off-your-face acne treatment brings me joy. As I creep closer to 30 and the mini little lines pop up around my eyes, I look more towards moisturizing treatments and protective skincare. However, and much to my chagrin, I still get zits. Unfair! So, when I came [...]

Sweet Freedom: Revolution Organics Freedom Glow Collection

The more I read about all of the gunk we put in our bodies, on our skin, and in the air, the more I am drawn to cosmetics and other  beauty products that work to eliminate gunk. I was immediately excited by the Freedom Collection from Revolution Organics  (www.Saffron Rouge.com) because Revolution Organics (RO) is [...]

Oh the Scent of Zensation – Zensation Hydrating Moisture Cream

As someone who is constantly on the hunt for a good daily moisturizer, I have to say I’m happy with Zensation Hydrating Moisture Cream ($85 at www.zensationbeaute.com). It hits all of my personal criteria: SPF 15, no harmful preservatives, smells divine, and it gives good moisture without clogging my pores. Let’s start with the last [...]

TheraPedi with Earth Theraputics

Sandal time his here – rejoice! Walking around in sandals or just plain no shoes at all is one of the many wonderful things about summertime. Unfortunately, that wear on your feet can leave your feet looking, well, worn. Getting a pedicure every week just isn’t realistic for the majority of us, so it’s important [...]

There’s The Rub Salt Glow

We here at Beauty Is Easy are big champions of protecting your skin – so, naturally, we are for wearing sunscreen and against prematurely aging your skin through excessive tanning. Unfortunately, even we agree that sometimes a nice sun kissed glow is just straight sexy. Good for you (and us) modern beauty has just about [...]
