Kaia Naturals Juicy Bamboo Facial Cleansing Cloths Review, Photos

Posted on 05/18/2016 by Amber Rose Posted in Bath & Body, Eyes, Face, Kaia Naturals, Product Reviews, Skincare Products

Kaia Naturals Juicy Bamboo Natural Facial Cleansing Oil Cloths

Kaia Naturals Juicy Bamboo Facial Cleansing Cloths are not your typical makeup remover wipes. They are biodegradable, sulfate free, paraben free, alcohol-free and smells YUMMY!

Without the harsh makeup stripping ingredients of a typical wipe you can use juicy bamboo as a convenient cleanser. The cashmere-soft 100% unbleached bamboo fibers can be placed in the soil and watch them disappear, they are completely 100% biodegradable.

Kaia Naturals Juicy Bamboo Natural Facial Cleansing Oil Cloths

Price | $19.50 / £13.38 / €17.37 / ¥2145

Availability | KaiaNaturals.com

Product | “Juicy bamboo natural cleansing oil cloths are soaked in honey, jojoba oil, sunflower oil and eight essential oils… they may be called a wipe but on the contrary… they are a cleansing oil cloth. Soaked in vitamins B12, C, E.”

Unfortunately, per the ingredients on the box I could not find 8 essential oils. See ingredient break down below.

Pigmentation | N/A

Application | The Kaia Natural Juicy Bamboo wipes can be used to removed the dust and dirt of the day. They gently remove oil and sebum from the skin, however, it takes many wipes to remove makeup and almost 8 to remove waterproof liner from my eyes. The website does state add eye makeup remover prior to cleansing with juicy bamboo.

Texture/Finish | The wipes are very soft but firmly made. The texture felt a little smoother than other makeup wipes I’ve used in the past. After using 1 my skin tingled for a few seconds and then felt dry. Not tight, itchy dry but moistureless dry. Later in the day I noticed that my skin felt smooth and almost fluffy.

Longevity | NA

Value Vs. Cost |
Cost per unit | 1 Package has 30 sheets
Price / Unit? $19.50 / 30 = $0.65 per sheet

Overview | Let me first say, I now understand why there is a cute little straw in the packaging of the Kaia Natural Juicy Bamboo natural facial clothes box. The clothes themselves smell like they were soaked in delicious agave juice. I want to use them just because they smell SO GOOD! But the great then is there are a lot of benefits to using these wipes for everyday cleansing or makeup removal. There are not a lot of synthetic chemicals or harsh ingredients. The natural ingredients help restore the pH balance of the skin and leave the skin feeling smooth and refreshed.

5 Makeup Tips To Try During Your Next Uber Ride

Posted on 04/20/2016 by Amber Rose Posted in Eyes, Face, Lips

Once or twice a month I find myself so tired from the day before I have to leave for work with nothing on my face but moisturizer and sunscreen. Over time I’ve become somewhat of a ninja at apply makeup in a moving car. Now, I don’t suggest applying makeup while driving. You can be sitting pretty, while doing it safely. These tips are for applying in traffic while someone else is driving or sitting happily in the back of a convenient Uber.

Too Faced Cosmetics Chocolate Bar Palette

Tip 1: Use Products With Built-in Mirrors

Always carry makeup products with built-in mirrors so that you don’t have to hold too many things at once. These items can be eyeshadow palettes, foundations or powders. My go-to mirrored compact is the Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette. It has a full sized crystal clear mirror built-in to a sweet smelling palette that holds many shades that can blend for a flawless daytime look.

Tip 2: Utilize Your Makeup Pencils

Eyeshadows can be messy and hard to apply in stop and go traffic. Carry a champagne to mousy brown eyeshadow pencils to smudge on your eyelids for an effortless expensive looking eye.

Tip 3: Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate

When in a rush, you don’t have the 30 or some minutes to apply your liquid foundation flawlessly but there’s a fix for that. Hydrate your skin with a Rose Water to reduce redness, plump the skin and tighten pores. It smells amazing and helps create a smooth canvas for applying foundation or powder to the skin.

Tip 4: Tinted Moisturizer is the way to go, when on the go

Create a smooth dewy glow to the skin with tinted moisturizer. It can be applied with a kabuki brush, a flat foundation brush or even your fingers. With tinted moisturizer, you can get smooth beautiful skin without worrying about messy application.

Tip 5: Skip the liner & Lash it up!

Eyeliner can be difficult even when sitting still so applying in a moving car is a no no. But don’t fret, you can still create a sultry look with your mascara. Mascara is easier to use then eyeliner and can open up the eyes just like liner. Choose a curling mascara and get more lift and curl without the danger of trying to use an eyelash curler in traffic.

These quick tips and tricks will help your step out of your Uber confident like your just step out of a Pro makeup artists chair.
