Mitzy Lou Skin Products

I approached the owner/creator of Mitzy Lou, Misty Wheeler-Belin and I asked her if she would interested in providing some products for review.

Mitzy Lou is a natural, cruelty-free company that specializes in hand-made skin care products. Many of her products are also vegan. Her products contain simple, natural, nourishing and often organic ingredients. Don't worry, these ingredient labels don't contain a long list of words you can't pronounce. You can find out more about Mitzy Lou and their products on their website, www.mitzylou.com.

Skin Dew Soaps are priced at $7.50. I received Key Lime Pie and Acai Papaya and these are YUM!

They lather nicely and smell great, not over powering or artificial smelling. They don't dry out your skin or leave a film on your skin like other bar soaps. These could easily be my favorite bar soaps.

The Soy Silk Body Lotions are priced at $8 . I received Hot Pink Stilletos which smells like DKNY Delicious Candy Apple Juicy Berry. I'm generally less drawn to berry scents and more drawn to vanilla, sandalwood, light musk, chamomile, cotton candy scents... Well you get the picture. This scent has grown on me but I can't say it would be my first choice. However, the scent isn't over powering which is so important, especially with a lotion that is going to stay on your skin all day. The scent stays present for the majority of the day, but it isn't something so strong it will give you a headache. The lotion makes my skin feel soft and it leaves my skin moisturized for the whole day. Because the lotion is made with Olive Oil, I would recommend waiting 10 minutes until you get dressed.

Now for my favorite product... The Soapy Shower Souffles are priced at $18 for 16oz of product. This product literally makes for my favorite time in the shower. Words can't even describe my love for this product.. I'm a sucker for anything cupcake scented or flavored. It smells delish and suds up nicely, as long as you use a scrubby puff. A scoopful on the fingertips will do the trick. Rinse and repeat? Yes please!

In my opinion, there aren't enough good lip scrubs out there. These lip scrubs are $6 for 2oz of product, enough to last a decent amount of time. The lip scrub is made with sugar, rice bran and jojoba oil. It's just the right consistency, its not too rough but exfoliates just the right amount. It leaves my lips soft and smooth. Lip scrubs are good to use, especially if you wear lipstick. Lip scrubs help prevent chapped lips and allow your lipstick to apply more smoothly and evenly. I recommend applying this on moistened lips (water) with your finger. I had a tendency of getting the scrub on the skin around my mouth. So, I apply this prior to washing my face because my skin can be oily at times, and I don't need to add any extra! I enjoyed this lip scrub and it tastes yummy too.

Overall, I really enjoyed trying all of these products. I would look forward to trying different scents and flavors. Other products I would be interested in trying would be the facial scrub and the Cuppy Cake body butter :)

Urban Decay Revokes Decision to Sell Products in China

While at work today, I received an email that made my day. I was literally jumping for joy! I'm in the process of moving, so I haven't had time to post lately, but news like this couldn't wait.

Urban Decay has decided not to proceed in moving to the Chinese market and will not be selling products in China. That means, they are still a truly cruelty-free company.

Last month Urban Decay released their decision to sell their products in China. Because the Chinese government require animal testing before the products are available to the Chinese consumer, companies who sell products in China are required to test on animals or hire a company who will test for them. After releasing this information, there was a huge uproar from their fans, customers and the cruelty-free community. As a loyal Urban Decay customer, I was also very upset. There was even a petition on Change.org against Urban Decay's decision. Whether it was due to the feedback from their fans, or a moral change of heart, I'm thrilled that Urban Decay will remain a cruelty-free company.

Urban Decay's Official Statement:

Animal Testing Policy

Urban Decay is a cruelty-free brand and is committed to ending animal testing. We do not test our finished products on animals, nor do we allow others to test on our behalf. Additionally, we require our suppliers to certify that the raw materials used in the manufacture of our products are not tested on animals. Our practices are certified by both PETA and The Leaping Bunny Program (CCIC) as cruelty-free.

UD Decides Not to Sell in China

After careful consideration of many issues, we have decided not to start selling Urban Decay products in China. While several factors were important in reaching this decision, ultimately we did not feel we could comply with current regulations in China and remain true to our core principles. We know there are many progressive consumers in China who would embrace an opportunity to purchase non-animal tested products - our hope remains that we have the chance to offer Urban Decay products to these consumers someday in the future.

Following our initial announcement, we realized that we needed to step back, carefully review our original plan, and talk to a number of individuals and organizations that were interested in our decision. We regret that we were unable to respond immediately to many of the questions we received, and appreciate the patience our customers have shown as we worked through this difficult issue.

Since our founding in 1996, we have been committed to ending animal testing in the cosmetics industry. As demonstrated by the renewed support we have received from organizations like PETA and the CCIC, this principle remains at our core. Urban Decay does not test its finished products on animals, nor do we allow others to test on our behalf, and we require our suppliers to certify that the raw materials used in the manufacture of our products are not tested on animals. Urban Decay is proud to be 100% cruelty-free.

My 3 Picks from Zoya Beach and Surf Collection

I purchased these 3 shades from Zoya's Beach and Surf Collection during their Pinterest 3 for $15 Promo. Zoya Nail Lacquers are generally $8 a bottle, so it definitely was a good deal :) My picks are actually all from the Beach collection which consists of creme and pearl shades. I'm generally drawn towards creme shades of nail polish, hence why I chose these 3. The Surf collection consists of the metallic and foil versions of the Beach collection shades. I also received the acrylic sampler swatches of all the shades in the collections, and now I want to order more!

Wednesday

Wednesday is definitely my favorite shade from the collection. My best description of Wednesday is a sea foam green that looks like it has been "dirtied" a little bit. At first it reminded me of China Glaze For Audrey, but when comparing the two, Wednesday is darker with more green undertones. It reached opacity with 2 coats and was easy to apply. LOVE!

Lara

Lara is a darkened candy pink and it is also a very pretty shade. It reached opacity in 2 coats and applied easily.

Reagan

Reagan is a cool toned, darkened fuchsia pink. Some nails reached opacity with only one coat, but I used  two coats on all nails. Like the rest of the shades, I didn't have any problems with application.

Overview: I have been exploring more of Zoya nail polishes, and they are generally pretty solid in terms of vibrancy, opacity and performance. All of the shades in these two collections are great for summer, and I would recommend grabbing a few before summer ends!

Zoya Nail Lacquer in Faye

I purchased this shade a while back during one of Zoya's fabulous promos. You an find this shade at www.zoya.com. It is part of Zoya's Summer 2011 Sunshine Collection. I chose this shade because it's unlike any other shade in my collection. It's a mauve-berry type color, with gold and mauve shimmer. However, all the glitter and gold reminds me more of a holiday shade. But in my opinion, this shade can be worn all year round.

This shade only required two coats to reach opacity and it was easy to apply. Zoya nail polishes generally dry pretty fast and are easy to work with. You just need to be aware that because they dry fast, you can't paint your nails in slow motion with thin coats.

Overview: Faye is mauve nail polish with gold and mauve glitter. The polish dries easily and reaches opacity in two coats. Thumbs up!

Major Companies Have Been Removed From Cruelty-Free Lists

Yesterday was a very sad day for me... and I'm a little behind on this issue. I've recently started writing in my blog again after taking quite a long break. So I haven't been up-to-date in the beauty world. And luckily I haven't done much purchasing in the last few months either. 
I randomly came across a cruelty-free blog, My Beauty Bunny, and their cruelty-free list. As I'm scrolling down the list to ensure that my favorite beauty brands are still cruelty-free, my heart dropped. Not only did it drop, it broke, ripped and all of the above. Since my first post about cruelty-free products, I've been committed to only purchasing and reviewing products that were cruelty-free to the best of my knowledge. And although I realize that for scientific and medical purposes animal testing may be necessary, for cosmetics it is not. And as I'm scrolling down the list, it got worse. Estee Lauder, Urban Decay, Avon, Mary Kay, MakeUpForEver, Revlon, YSL and others have been removed from cruelty-free lists due to their decision to sell their products in China. Estee Lauder's subsidiary companies include but are not limited to Aveda, Bobbi Brown, Clinique, MAC Cosmetics, Origins, Smashbox, Tom Ford.
The Chinese government requires all cosmetics sold in China to be tested on animals before it is available to the Chinese consumer. Therefore, in order to sell their products in China, these companies are having to test on animals. When I first read this, I felt hurt, betrayed, angry, frustrated, and more. I felt like I was being forced to break-up with an old friend. I've been using MAC Cosmetics since I was 15. I'm now almost 23, and although 8 years years might not seem long to some, it is a long time in comparison to my lifetime so far. I used MAC products for prom, dance recitals, first dates and my mom used to give me MAC products each year for Christmas. I use Urban Decay's Primer Potion everyday and their Naked palette is one of my (and many other beauty lover's) favorite eyeshadow palettes. I've recently fallen in love with YSL's Rouge Pur Couture lipsticks, and I've been exploring MakeUpForEver's wide array of products. Smashbox is another company I've been loyal to throughout college. So basically, almost all of the beauty companies that I have known and loved, now test on animals.


When asked, MakeUpForEver responded

From info@makeupforeverusa.com

Hello,

Thank you for your interest in MAKE UP FOR EVER. We do not test products on animals. The laboratories and suppliers we work with do not conduct animal testing on the products or ingredients they create or supply on our behalf; except when required by law.

Thank you.

Other companies, such as Smashbox and Revlon, have similar statements on their website saying that they do not test on animals unless required by law. And China has such a law. And therefore if their products are being sold in China, they are required to test on animals.

Urban Decay has boasted being a cruelty-free company sporting the Leaping Bunny logo, and even creating vegan cosmetics. Christine from Temptalia posted Urban Decay's press release regarding the issue. You may find it on her website here. In the statement, Urban Decay tries to justify their decision by stating "During Urban Decay’s infancy, we worked hard to inform consumers about animal rights in the United States and Europe. The battleground for animal rights is now in China, and we want to be there to encourage dialogue and provoke change." Since then, Urban Decay has removed their press release from their website and replaced it with a generic statement similar to Smashbox. 

And now, I must say MAC, Smashbox and others never boasted about being cruelty-free, it was just convenient that they didn't test. But for Urban Decay to "sell out" like they did, leaving behind one of their core beliefs, it's just baffling. In fact, for years Urban Decay has been saying, "We don’t do animal testing. How could anyone?" The real reason for the switch is that these companies are profit-based corporations, and China is a large growing market which could make these companies a lot of money. I'm not blaming these companies for wanting to make money, that is what they're in business to do, but for Urban Decay to try and justify it using other reasons? That is just too much for me to handle. The Coalition for Consumer Information on Cosmetics (CCIC) released a statement on June 6th informing the public that Urban Decay is no longer licensed to sport the Leaping Bunny logo.

So what does this mean for me? After much debate, I've decided to no longer review or purchase from any of the companies who now test on animals due to Chinese regulation. It has been tormenting me for the last few days, but as a cruelty-free blogger, dog foster-mom, and animal advocate, it is my only choice. I won't be so extreme to burn any of my previously purchased products, because I paid good money for those items! But I will be looking for replacement for my old favorites. My only hope is that these companies will revoke their decision to move to China due to the response from their loyal customers. And maybe, some day China will revoke the requirement for animal testing.

Some of you may still be asking, is the cost of losing my favorite cosmetic brands worse than animal testing? Is animal testing really that bad? Well, yes it is, it really is that bad. Scientists are not just playing dress-up with bunnies and guinea pigs with mascara and lip gloss. Instead, these animals are experiencing excruciating pain.

On the Humane Society's FAQ page, they mention that animal testing includes such methods skin & eye irritation tests, lethal dose tests, force-feeding etc. These animals are often kept for weeks or months for observation and are killed by "asphyxiation, neck-breaking or decapitation." The In Defense of Animals (IDA) delves into the specifics a little more on the cosmetic testing portion of their website. 

The IDA states lists these facts on their website;

Product testing is commonly performed on animals to measure the levels of skin irritancy, eye tissue damage, and toxicity caused by various substances used in the manufacture of cosmetics. In the Draize test, caustic substances are placed in the eyes of conscious rabbits to evaluate damage to sensitive eye tissues. This is extremely painful for the rabbits, who often scream when the substances are applied and sometimes break their necks or backs trying to escape the restraints. 

Lethal Dosage (LD) tests are used to determine the amount of a substance that will kill a predetermined ratio of animals. For example, in the LD50 test, subjects are forced to ingest poisonous substances (through stomach tubes, vapor spray inhalers or injection) until half of them die. Common reactions to LD tests include convulsions, vomiting, paralysis and bleeding from the eyes, nose, mouth or rectum.


The IDA further states that animal testing isn't even that accurate. Results from animals are often not comparable to the effects of the product or ingredients on humans, especially regarding the lethal dose test. Alternatives to animal testing are not as popular  because frankly, they're more expensive. These methods include in-vitro testing (using isolated cells in a test tube), computer simulation and others. More information regarding alternatives can be found on PETA's website.


On the IDA's wesbite, I found a great quote. "As Gordon Baxter, cofounder of Pharmagene Laboratories, which uses only computers and human tissues to create and test drugs once said, 'If you have information on human genes, what’s the point of going back to animals?'"


So what do we do now? You can help by only purchasing products from cruelty-free companies. You may also contact the brands that have recently switched, and express your concern.
Some of my favorite cruelty-free brands include, Stila Cosmetics, NARS, tarte and Korres.
You can find complete lists at www.mybeautybunny.com and www.leapingbunny.org

Burt's Bees Sensitive Eye Cream

Burt's Bees Sensitive Eye Cream can be found at Ulta and most drugs stores or health food stores for about $15. I purchased this cream from Ulta using a $3.50 off coupon that can be found on their website.

I just finished my tub of Yes to Carrots Eye Can C Clearly Now eye cream. I did like the cream, but I always enjoy trying new products so I decided to try something different. My skin around my eyes can be very sensitive, so I have to be picky with what I put around my eyes.

The packaging is definitely different than most eye creams I've seen that normally come in either a pump or tub. I personally don't like when creams come in a tub because they aren't very sanitary.

The tip is sort of weird but aids in allowing just the right amount of cream to come through. The rubber tip has two thin slits that open up to allow the cream to come out. I have read however, that it tends to become clogged. I have only used the cream for a few days, but I haven't had any problems so far. I would recommend being careful when squeezing the tube. If you squeeze too hard the product will come squirting out. I imagine that if I ever experience clogging with the tip, I could run it under hot water to fix it.

Burt's Bees claims their eye cream is hypo-allergenic and reduces inflammation. It contains ingredients such as Cotton extract, Rice extract, and Aloe.

This eye cream is very lightweight, non-greasy and it is fragrance free. It provides just the right amount of moisture, which can be important when someone wears a lot of make-up on and around their eyes. This cream is extremely gentle and great for those with sensitive skin. I haven't had any experience of burning, stinging or reddening with the cream.

I generally do not have red or puffy eyes, so I cannot attest to how well this product serves as an anti-inflammatory.

Overall, I definitely recommend this eye cream, especially for those with sensitive skin. My only complaint is that the tube is small, and would probably be used up quickly.

Fuchsia Lipstick: YSL vs Revlon

I originally had my eye on YSL Rouge Pur Couture in 07 Le Fuchsia back in February and debated on purchasing for about 2 weeks. Before I purchased it, my cousin (who is also a beauty lover and an Estee Lauder employee) posted a picture of her with the most fabulous fuchsia lip! And to my surprise, it was Revlon's Colorburst Lipstick in 030 Fuchsia. So I went to Walgreens and purchased this lipstick. The Colorburst Lipsticks range from $6-$9. This was much less than the $30 price tag or the Rouge Pur Couture lipsticks. However, even after satisfying my craving for a Fuchsia lipstick, I still kept thinking about YSL... So I purchased both and thought the comparisons would make for a great post!

The Revlon Colorburst Fuchsia is a little bit darker, but both look similar when taking pictures. The Revlon Fuchsia however, has a purple micro-shimmer in it. From far away you won't notice the shimmer, but when you look closely you can see it. A little bit shows up in the picture above as well.

The YSL Fuchsia isn't has dark but it is more vibrant in my opinion. The shape of the YSL lipstick also makes for better application as well. Both lipsticks are nicely pigmented, opaque, and creamy in texture. Packaging for both lipsticks is sturdy, however the Revlon packaging is more practical. The YSL packaging will be a scratched up, tarnished mess if kept in your purse or make up bag.

The YSL Fuchsia however does beat the Revlon Fuchsia in wear longevity. Revlon Colorburst lipsticks generally last for 3 hours with minimal drinking and no eating. Rouge Pur Couture lipsticks on the other hand, will last for about 5 hours.

With both lipsticks, I noticed some slippage which was corrected with a lip liner.

I used NYX Slim Lip Pencil in Fuchsia and it does the trick. You can find these at ULTA or nyxcosmetics.com for $3-$4.

Overall, I do find myself reaching for the YSL lipstick over the Revlon. However, even with a $23 difference in price, the Revlon lipstick is a close competitor.

Update: Please note that YSL is no longer cruelty-free.

YSL Rouge Pur Couture in 07 Le Fuschia

The Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Pure Couture Lipsticks can be purchased at Sephora, Nordstrom and www.yslbeauty.com for $30.
Since having such success with YSL Rouge Pur Couture in 13 Le Orange, I have been dying to try other shades in the collection. Fuschia shades are becoming more popular for lips this season and I had to get my hands on some. Spending $30 on a lipstick isn't common place for me, but after much debate, I took the plunge. 
The Rouge Pure Couture lipsticks have a rosey perfume scent which is an unexpected type scent for lip products. I haven't really decided how I feel about the scent, but it doesn't last long enough to be bothersome to me.
In my previous post, I mentioned that I had some slippage with this lipstick. However, blotting the lipstick with 1-ply of a tissue, or s smidge of translucent power will fix the problem.
This lipstick lasts for about 5 hours. The first 3 hours are the actual lipstick on top of your lips, and then for the last 2 hours you are left with a stain on your lips for added wear.
I really love this formula, and I haven't found any that I love as much. The color applies smoothly and evenly with good coverage. The color is vibrant and bold and perfect for the upcoming seasons!
Overall, there is a lot to love about this formula and shade.

Zoya Matte Velvet Lacquer in Lolly

My first experience with matte polishes was with Essie's matte topcoat and I loved the matte look. However, after discovering that Essie tests on animals, I no longer purchase Essie nail products. So when I saw this at Ulta on clearance, I had to give it a try. I'm not sure if Ulta is still carrying the Matte Velvet collection, but it can be found on Zoya's website for $8. The Matte Velvet collection contains 6 shades that are still available.

I wish Zoya made a matte topcoat, because I think I would have enjoyed it more than this polish. The polish was kind of difficult to work with. It dried super fast, and if you weren't quick enough, it would become sticky and then lumpy or uneven. With practice, I think I could get the hang of it, because some nails turned out better than others. There is definitely a learning curve with this one, otherwise it could end up streaky or lumpy.

After two coats, I received full coverage, however I went in for a third to even out some of the lumps. Because it dries so fast, I didn't have to wait to long between coats which was definitely a plus.

Overall, I don't think I would repurchase. It's hard enough for me to find time to do my nails. And I would be even less motivated if I knew I was going to use a nail polish that was difficult to work with. I think I will keep my eyes out for another matte top coat to try.

Revlon PhotoReady Airbrush Mousse Foundation

I must admit, when I first saw the display for Revlon's new foundation, it definitely caught my eye. You can find this collection of foundation at most major drugstores, including Walgreens and Ulta, for about $12- $13.

Revlon claims this foundation will create an airbrushed, pore-less look.

The foundation comes in a aerosol can which aerates the foundation and creating a mousse. The pump could be a little more accurate, I often find myself either getting too much or too little foundation out of the pump.

I purchased this foundation in Natural Beige, which is also the shade I use for Revlon's ColorStay foundation. With the first few uses of this foundation, it was a lot darker then Natural Beige should be. I may have not been shaking the can hard enough, because later on the shade seemed to normal out. I recommend shaking the can VERY well in order to properly mix the shade and to create the pressure needed for the foundation to come out.

Like other foundations and products in the PhotoReady collection, this foundation contains a good amount of shimmer. So, it would be ideal for a day that would be spent mostly indoors. Once you step out in the sun, the shimmer will become quite apparent.

Now for coverage...

Before

After

This foundation is very lightweight and provides medium coverage. It covers and smoothes most minor imperfections, however some blemishes may need extra help. It blends easily using brush or sponge, leaving a dewy finish. It doesn't feel heavy at all, and if it weren't for the sparkles in the foundation, it could be good for the warmer months. However, I have combination skin, but the finish is very moist and I feel I need a lot of powder afterword.

I can't say this foundation did anything for my pores, they seemed to stare back at me like they always do. However, this foundation does last longer than it's creamier PhotoReady counterpart.

Overall, this foundation is just "meh." I had higher hopes for this foundation, but it just kind of fell flat for me. My favorite part about the foundation was watching the bubbles pop... So I can't say that I would repurchase this late down the road.

Zoya Nail Lacquer in "Gemma"

I purchased this shade at ULTA during it's After-Christmas-Clearance-Sale. You may also purchase this shade at www.zoya.com for $8. You can find the direct link for this shade here.
When I first saw this shade, I expected the polish to be much more opaque than it was. According to Zoya's scale of 1-5, with 1 being sheer and 5 being opaque, they chose a score of 4 for this shade. However it took me 3 coats in order for the color to look like it was in the bottle.
This shade is a olive green with bluish-purple micro-shimmer. You are able to see a little bit of the duo-chrome in the picture.
Overall, I am very glad I decided to pick up this shade. It's a fun transitional shade that can be worn for spring. It lasted an average amount of time, but the consistency was very nice. I would recommend this nail polish hands down if it was a little more opaque. But if you don't mind applying the 3 coats, I do enjoy this shade.

Wet N Wild Color Icon Eyeshadow Collection in Petal Pusher

You can find these Wet n Wild Palettes at Walgreens, Ulta, and other major drugstores for about $4.99. Along with eight well coordinated shades, this palette also comes with a applicator that includes a foam tip on one end and brush on the other. The brush is super cheap and honestly, was a waste for them to include in the palette. Foam applicators would have been better, but who really uses the applicators that come in a palette anyway?

As with Wet n Wild's other Color Icon Eyeshadows, this palette's shadows are labeled in order to provide a guide to where to wear these shadows. After trying Comfort Zone, I really had high hopes for this palette. I love purple eyeshadows, and with Spring being right around the corner, these shades would be ideal for the upcoming season. However, some of the shades in this palette fell short. The most disappointing shade was the eyelid shade on the left hand side of the palette. For me, the color payoff was lacking and it didn't blend well with the other shadows. The crease shade was also disappointing in blend-ability, but the color payoff was a little better. The browbone shade was a little sheer, but I like my highlighting shadows to be sheer because sometimes heavy eyeshadows on the browbone look a little much.

Overall, this palette is still a decent value at $4.99, but some of the shades outshine the others. If all the shadows performed as well as the other shades in the palette, it could have been a "must have" for me. 

Wet N Wild Color Icon Eyeshadow Collection in Comfort Zone

You can find these Wet n Wild Palettes at Walgreens, Ulta, and other major drugstores for about $4.99. 

Most beauty bloggers have reviewed these a long time ago already, but I've decided to put in my own two cents.

These earth-toned shades are for the most part, very silky and smooth. Most of these shades are highly pigmented as well. I was expecting however, the green crease shade to have a little bit more pigmentation. The colors blend easily, and between the eight shades provided, you can create a variety of looks. If you aren't feeling creative, Wet n Wild was so kind to outline which colors to use and where.

When used with a base, these shadows lasted for nine hours+. I removed my make up before going to bed and at nine hours, there was minimal fading. These shadows are very comparable to higher end brands as far as pigmentation, texture and longevity goes.

Overall, for $4.99, I couldn't think of a better value on the market right now. If you haven't already checked these out, I would definitely recommend Comfort Zone be added to your collection. It is definitely one of my favorite purchases from a drug store brand.
