For those of you that love
organic, cruelty-free cosmetics and want to try different products, Love True
Natural and Lavera Cosmetics is launching True Beauty Box on Dec. 15 and
pre-registration is available on Nov 29.
The Makeup Examiner received an
early release of True Beauty Box’s flirty box and it arrived in the prettiest
packaging with a card inside with one of my favorite quotes. “For attractive
lips, speak word of kindness. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.” ~
Audrey Hepburn.
Aside from the packaging is
what’s most important…the cosmetics themselves. So, today the Makeup Examiner
is going to tell you a little about Lavera and Benecos Natural Cosmetics. The
Makeup Examiner’s flirty box contained Lavera Volume Mascara ($21), Lavera Long
Lash Mascara ($23.60), Benecos Natural Lipstick in purple ($13.99), Benecos
Natural Lip Gloss in Kiss Me Red ($12.99), Benecos Natural Lipliner in pink
($8.99), and Sante Soleil Lipstick Balm in pink ($7.50).
The Makeup Examiner is in love
with Lavera Volume Mascara. The mascara features organic Jojoba and wild rose
and is paraben-free, plus it gives amazing volume to lashes. The Makeup
Examiner didn’t get the same results from Lavera Long Lash Mascara, but this is
a personal preference. Long Lash definitely defines eyelashes. It simply didn’t
give the volume that I look for.
Benecos Natural Lipstick is a
pure mineral lipstick that offers brilliant color and a cashmere feel. This
lipstick is amazingly creamy, doesn’t have that gross waxy smell and has
staying power. As if that weren’t enough, it is so nourishing to the lips and
available in 10 shades. Benecos Natural Lip Gloss is another amazing product.
It is a mineral lip gloss that delivers great color and shine, and smells
delicious.
As picky as The Makeup Examiner
is about pencil eyeliner, so too is she about lip pencil. It better be smooth
and it better have outstanding pigment. Benecos Natural Lipliner is hands-down
one the best lipliners that The Makeup Examiner has ever used. The Makeup
Examiner is also extremely particular about lip balms. Lip balm is essential to
re-hydrate our pucker and keep it looking gorgeous. That is its purpose and
rest assured that I have wasted plenty of green on lip balms. Fortunately,
Sante Soleil Lipstick Balm makes it to The Makeup Examiner’s Holiday Must Have
List. Soleil Lipstick Balm contains SPF 15, glides on and has the perfect hint
of color.
All of the above products, along
with ones that you’ll find at True Beauty Box and the Lavera website, are
certified natural, gluten free, cruelty free and vegan. Plus, you receive three
free samples with every order. To pre-register for the True Beauty Box program,
visit the True Beauty Box website and keep in mind that it’s still under
construction. All Lavera, Benecos and Soleil cosmetics are available at the
Love True Natural website and select retail outlets.
