Ere Perez Natural Jojoba Oil Eye Pencil Review

It wasn’t too long ago that I had, for the most part given up on finding a natural eyeliner that was suitable for my sensitive eyes. I had grown tired of eyeliners that scratched, broke, irritated my skin, or simply wouldn’t draw. My eyeliner drought recently ended when I decided to treat myself to another attempt at using a natural eyeliner, I decided to give the Ere Perez Natural Jojoba Oil Eye Pencil a whirl, and this is how it went:

Ere Perez Natural Eye Pencil draws on with first application, does not scratch, scrape or drag, has not irritated my eyes  and actually looks good when I apply it (now that is saying something!). Surprisingly, I found that this eyeliner actually stays on all day, doesn’t smear all over my eye and is simple and easy enough for me to remove with my regular natural cream cleanser.

I did find it challenging to find the little hidden sharpener in the lid of the pencil – the lid has a lid of its own, but once I sorted that out it was all fine.

The only real problem I have with this Ere Perez Natural Jojoba Oil Eye Pencil is that I didn’t discover it earlier!

I found the brown Ere Perez Natural Jojoba Oil Eye Pencil  goes great with Zuii Flora Certified Organic Eyeshadow  in chestnut with a smear of Ere Perez Natural Rosehip Oil Nude Lipbar – perfectly natural, perfectly easy to apply.

Review: Antipodes Reincarnation Pure Facial Exfoliator

Three weeks into my tube of Reincarnation Pure Facial Exfoliator by fabulous NZ natural skincare brand Antipodes and my skin in is glowing, fresh and more youthful looking. This gentle exfoliant makes use of tiny jojoba beads and soothing, healing oils like calendula and carrot oil to create a rich creamy face scrub that is even suitable for the most sensitive skin. Also, the use of earthy essential oils like sandalwood and cedarwood make using this product an absolute delight for the senses.

With my highly sensitive and reactive skin, I was initially very cautious when I first started using this product. I found that using a large pea-sized dollop and very gently massaging into my skin worked perfectly to achieve a nice clean glow. Even for my tending to dry sensitive skin I found that I am able to use this product 3-4 times per week without any issues. I would suggest that those with more oily skin could use this product more vigorously and even more frequently to help with breakouts as the after effect with this product is slightly drying to the skin.

Overall, I would suggest this is one of (if not the) best natural facial exfoliants I have used, I would recommend this for normal to oily and young skin types, but also find it gentle and soothing enough for more mature skin or dry, sensitive skin types. My tube will definitely last me well into the new year and keep my skin glowing and fresh for the summer months!

On the packaging:

“Antipodes Reincarnation Pure Facial Exfoliator with 100% pure avocado oil, marigold flower, tonka bean and sandalwood.

Offer your skin a new life with this beautifully effective, extremely gentle Antipodes Reincarnation Pure Facial Exfoliator. Avocado oil and jojoba beads marry to lift away lifeless skin, leaving a fresh complexion that feels reborn. Healing calendula oil works to nurture and repair, while carrot seed extract helps clear and revitalise skin's surface. Exotic essential oils of sandalwood, sweet orange and tonka bean calm and balance your skin's appearance.

Directions for use: Gently blend Antipodes Reincarnation Pure Facial Exfoliator into moist skin at sunrise or whenever your skin calls for a new life. Rinse well with warm and pure water.”
