I have to admit, I've neglected myself quite a bit ever since becoming a brand new mom 8 (wonderful!) weeks ago. Whether it was showering (eww I know), brushing my teeth, painting my nails (ok even clipping my nails), or putting on my makeup...there have been many things that have taken the back burner throughout the day. And don't even bother to ask about my skin care routine - out the window. I maybe had the chance to use a makeup remover wipe at night before bed, and then I'd call it a day.
Neglect mixed with this frigid winter we've had has really done a number on my skin. It's been dry, uneven, splotchy, and really flat. My "pregnancy glow" is long gone.
So the timing couldn't have been better when Organaca Beauty reached out to me, offering to send some products my way to review.
From the website:

It felt like Christmas morning when the package arrived on my doorstep!
Products included were:
Ilike Grape Stem Cell Body Lotion
Sukicolor Correct Coverage Concealer
This body lotion was very hydrating and nourishing. I really like the packaging and the mess-free pump style dispenser. The ingredients are amazing: Grape pulp, Grapeseed Oil, Coconut Oil, Shea Butter, Grape Skin, Orange and Lemon Oil, and tons of Vitamins. The scent was botanical and very earthy - not my favorite smell, but I did like the consistency of the product.
(Grade: B+)
This hand cream is so luxurious. I have really dry hands, especially now that I'm washing them so frequently with a new baby. And this cold weather hasn't helped at all. So I truly appreciate an intense and smooth hand cream that really gets the job done. And this one did just that. With ingredients like plant oils and beeswax, it felt very rich and soothing. I would definitely repurchase this for myself, or to give as a gift.
(Grade: A)
I'm a huge face moisturizer fan - I love to use it both day and night. Aveeno has been my go-to day moisturizer, but I have to say, this one has replaced it! The ingredients in this cream have been shown to firm and help your skin fight environmental damage. And have also been shown to support collagen, while fighting off signs of aging. And it smells so fresh, light and citrusy - so it really wakes me up in the morning. Who wouldn't want that?
It's one of the website's best-selling products and I can see why.
(Grade: A+)
Whether you're a busy student, working woman, or mom like me, you're probably a fan of concealer. And one that corrects redness, inflammation, blemishes, puffiness, fine lines and wrinkles would be pretty amazing right? Right. Well, here it is. 100% natural and cruelty-free, this concealer is amazing. It's creamy, does not settle in fine lines, stays put, and really covers up my dark circles. Will definitely buy it again.
(Grade: A+)
Now that I've been able to try out some of these natural and wonderful products from Organaca, I can't wait to try more. (this, this, and this, specifically!) I would like to think that my skin is thanking me after using these creams and concealers - and it's been nice to get back into a routine of really taking care of myself too. A little pampering and caring for your skin really goes a long way.
