I’ve been eyeing this baby for quite some time now. 27 Kisses is an intriguing color and not one that is easily described, but I’ll give a shot (because I’m a rebel). 27 Kisses is an earthy mauve-brown that can be dotted on for a light Fall stain, or swept on for the full effect: a dusty brown with dusty rose undertones. Oddly enough, I don’t generally wear darker colors, but for some reason this mauve-brown is working for me. I love the thought of this with a light mauve blush (I suggest Mauvette) and a pale eye (simply use mascara). The consistency is semi-matte, but won’t dry out your lips. It’s just a gorgeous lip color as we make our way into hot chocolate season! It’s also very versatile and perfect for day to night as it’s not too dark or severe-looking. Gluten-free and available at Integrity Botanicals. $35
Bottega Organica Eye Illuminate
100% organic Bottega Organica has a store not far from where I live here in NYC and they also have a farm. Yep, a farm where they harvest many of the natural ingredients for their purer-than-pure skincare products. The property has been in their family for 500 years, so you know that the farming is as pure and pesticide-free as it gets. I love myself a great eye cream and Eye Illuminate is just delightful. It’s light, feels like something between a cream and serum when you apply it under your eyes and it is great pre-makeup. Every ingredient is chosen for its ability to enhance skin’s elasticity, stimulate skin renewal, fight aging and repair the skin. I’m going to be bummed out when I run out, but I’m really hoping you’ll give this a try, especially if you have under eye issues and need to bring in the big guns for Fall. Oh, and make sure to look at their ingredients…perfection! $145 DEAL: 15% off of your entire order when you sign up for their newsletter: Integrity Botanicals!
Osmia Organics Emerald Body Essence
Using the finest ingredients that benefit both the skin and olfactory senses, Emerald, the first of the Gem Series from Osmia Organics, is a true winner. I promise you that this is going to be one of those products that you absolutely covet and will want to use when you know you’re going to have someone sniffing your skin. With the first application giving off a mix of alluring South African geranium (a big favorite of mine) and wild mint, you’ll soon after smell a hint of frankincense (yum). Honestly, the bottle is hard to put down and has been sitting on my desk when not in my bathroom (to be used on wet skin, fyi). The scent is uplifting, fresh, sexy and, well, just addictive. Beyond the scent, what makes this body essence so wonderful is the velvety feel of it and what it does for the skin. This, from Osmia Organics, “Organic camellia oil and borage seed oil provide potent anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant benefits. What does this mean to you? It means that your skin, which gets damaged by UV rays and pollution and the simple yet inevitable passage of time, has an increased chance to repair and protect itself as these oils scavenge for free radicals, decrease inflammation, and strengthen skin cells.” $95
True Botanicals Soothing Face Oil and Serum
Rejoice all ye of inflamed and irritated skin! Honestly, I don’t know anyone who does not need, either all of the time, or some of the time, to have products that will soothe and calm down their skin. I can tell you that whenever I’m hormonal, I’m looking for just that. True Botanicals’ Pacific Soothing Face Oil is great for calming aging skin with oils that replenish and soothe inflammation. So, if you’re suffering from rosacea, too much sun, hormonal skin (my issue) or you’ve just over exfoliated, you will want to try out TNB’s new line. This oil works perfectly with their Pacific Soothing Face Serum. To be used after the oil (I like to let the oil absorb a bit) this light serum is refreshing and with potent plant extracts, it will aid in the healing of the skin by reducing irritation and boosting immunities. So, instead of punishing irritated skin with harsh products, work with the skin to heal and calm it. It’s a lot to post here, but I think it’s important that you check out their ingredients as TNB has a reputation in green beauty for taking great care and making sure to get the best of the best for their skin care.

Josh Rosebrook Cacao Antioxidant Mask
You need a good mask. I don’t care if you love masks or are just too lazy. The majority of people who write to me with skin dramas don’t have (until I tell them) a great organic detox mask. Pre-mixed and no joke, Josh’s Cacao Antioxidant Mask will leave your skin softer, brighter (yes), clean, toned and won’t dry it out. As long as you follow the directions and follow up with a great serum (I love his Deep Hydrating Serum with its delicious vanilla aroma) you’ll see wonderful results. Simply put, this is a great mask for pretty much everything. Give yourself a little time to chill out after you use this (you might be a little red as, like I said, this is an effective mask). Available at The Choosy Chick. DEAL: Free Shipping US Orders $75 or more $60
