March | Thoughtful Favourites
This month, I have put together some of my favourite wellness products. These all come from women-owned companies, are safe personal care products, and things I enjoy using myself.
From top left:
Beautycounter Countertime Lipid Defense Cleansing Oil: This cleansing oil is seriously luxurious and has knocked my socks off as a facial cleanser. It is a client favourite too!
Cleansing, reimagined.
This luxurious, lightweight cleansing oil gently yet effectively removes makeup and impurities without stripping essential lipids from the skin. Rich in vitamin E, fatty acids, and our plant-derived Retinatural Complex, the formula reinforces the skin’s fragile moisture barrier for a soothed, nourished complexion.
Skin Twin Foundation: Breathable, buildable coverage with hyaluronic acid to visibly plump the skin. It’s your match made in makeup.
With 18 buildable shades, this weightless, long-wearing*, the natural-looking foundation feels like a second skin. The skin-loving formula delivers all-day hydration* while a potent dose of hyaluronic acid lends a visibly plumped, even appearance from first use—and smoother, healthier-looking skin with each application. Need help finding your shade?\
Concealer: All day clean buildable coverage. Complexion-loving knotgrass extract. Skin so good, you’ll do a double-take.
Oh-so-creamy and buildable, Skin Twin Creamy Concealer works double-time to deliver instant results and better-looking skin over time. It immediately diffuses imperfections and reduces signs of fatigue for a brighter-looking complexion, while powerhouse ingredients like knotgrass extract are known to help improve the look of skin over time for a firmer, smoother appearance. This is undetectable coverage with skin-care benefits.
Sheer Genius Lipstick: A creamy, buildable lipstick with the nourishing benefits of a balm—to us, that’s lip brilliance. The ultimate everyday lipstick, Sheer Genius Conditioning Lipstick delivers a sheer wash of colour and light-catching sheen. A blend of botanical waxes and sustainably derived jojoba esters gives this formula a luxe yet weightless feel while conditioning lips. Responsibly sourced, certified organic vanilla gives this smart formula its sweet scent.
Halo Highlighter: Ultra-fine pearls instantly brighten features and give skin a subtle, luminous glow. Available in two shades that complement all skin tones, Luminous Powder Highlighters catch the light with a pearlized sheen. Beautycounter’s highlighter formula is specially designed without questionable ingredients for subtle, buildable luminosity. It is triple-milled to a precise, silky-smooth consistency and formulated with Butterpowder—an ingredient that boosts wear—so it lays down evenly and blends seamlessly. Includes removable mirror.
Fatskn beef tallow cream and lip balms: Seriously THE BEST product for chapped lips, hands, faces, etc, etc. Tallow is a beautiful and nourishing ingredient that delivers. Locally made in Calgary, Fatskn products are beautiful, and they work! My favourite is Sandalwood but the scents are all truly exquisite and natural! Made for babies and adults alike.
Kindle Co. Candles: I think candles and flowers are my love language. There is just something so soothing yet simplistic about a really good candle. Locally made, these candles are awesome, especially the wood wicks!
240 Roses Pussy Butter - Roses and body butter…. need I say more. Can be used as a cleanser and moisturizer as well as for other intimate opportunities. The best part is there is no dangerous ingredients and I mean you cannot go wrong with roses but don’t take my word for it.
Acure Seriously Soothing Under Eye Hydrogels: Great cooling under-eye mask. Found online or locally in Calgary at Community Natural Foods. Love the arnica in this version.
Rose Quartz Gua Sha: I love this tool! Rose quartz is my absolute favourite and I notice a big difference when using on my face. This Gua Sha is by Rose Toronto. Gua Sha is an Ancient Chinese technique to improve circulation. It is thought that when proper technique is applied to the face it can firm, soften, contour, and improve fine lines. I enjoy it!
Buddhi Bags Kwando 2 Tote: Beautiful and locally hand-made tote, great as a diaper bag, gym bag or anything in between. You can customize your fabric and a lovely person will get working on making the perfect bag for you!
Rose Quartz Yoni Egg: This one doesn’t come without controversy but, if you’re curious, they are thought to help strengthen the pelvic floor. Traditionally a jade egg is used. I can say I have noticed a difference in using mine and again, I am obsessed with rose quartz! Follow the link to learn more and decide for yourself!
Alora Boutique Rose Quartz bracelet - Just something beautiful to inspire you. Rose Quartz is said to promote self-love and harmony.
Sukin Rosehip Oil: Great for anti-aging, and scars, I love it combined with the Rosehip mask. No additives, it contains only the good stuff!
