Earth Care Soaps Green Tea Orange Moisturising Lip Balm



I love pampering products. I happened to come by this brand while I was browsing at the Christmas stalls in The Curve after work yesterday.

I came across the Earth Care Soaps stall and I just loved the array of skincare products that they had on display. As it turns out, the Earth Care Soaps stall had more than just soaps. They also had facial and body scrubs, lip scrubs, lip balms, carrier and essential oils, body oil blend, hair oil blend and balms.

I tried swatching one of the lip balms on the back of my hand and I fell in love with the texture that just melted into my skin. I was sold.

I picked the limited holiday edition Green Tea Orange lip balm as I love the orange scent. It smells just so yummy. I just love sniffing this product...

This lip balm is colorless and goes on smoothly. My lips feel moisturised with it on. The packaging allows the product to be swivelled up and back down after use.

This is an organic product and as it is with organic products, the shelf life is not very long. This lip balm expires in July 2016.

I applied it on my lips before going to bed last night and woke up this morning with soft, kissable lips :D. So yes, this is certainly a purchase that I am pleased with.

MooGoo Edible Strawberry Tinted Lip Balm Review

This is my second MooGoo Edible Lip Balm purchase. The first purchase that I made was the MooGoo Cow Lick Lip Balm which I purchased over a year ago and reviewed it here (click on the link). Incidentally, I still have a little bit more to go on that tube of lip balm even though I carry it in my handbag and have been using it almost every day. I guess that just goes to show just how little lip balm I use each time I apply it.

Anyway, back to the MooGoo Edible Strawberry Tinted Lip Balm... I've been meaning to purchase this lip balm for the longest time but have been putting it off as it was, until recently, only made available online and I didn't want to pay the RM10.00 delivery charge on a lip balm that costs only RM16.90 to begin with. I finally dragged myself down to the local supplier's office recently to purchase this tube of lip balm only to discover a few days later that it was selling in Watson's in 1-Utama!



The reason why I stopped using lipsticks and use safe lip balms is because "what goes on the lips gets eaten" and who wants to eat chemicals??? :O


The no nasty chemicals ingredients list. MooGoo's claim is that they are proud to list all the ingredients they use in their products and not just the safe ones.


The tinted color of the lip balm which may appear to look like it's pretty dark but really, once on the lips, it is not really that visible. It gives only a touch of dark tinted color to my lips.

What I liked about this product:
1. It's a safe natural product that contains no nasty chemicals.
2. It smells really sweet ... like strawberries!

My reservations about this product:
1. I found this product to be a tad on the dry side when compared to the Cow Lick Lip Balm, which I prefer in terms of texture.
2. The color wasn't really what I was expecting but hey, it's difficult to get vibrant colors when you're limited to using natural products. The color is more of a dark brown rather than a red (the color is from beets, by the way, in case you're wondering and so, I guess, that makes it also a vegan product).

MooGoo Cow Lick Lip Balm



The chemical free ingredients

An edible lip balm (why hasn't anyone thought about it before???) --- makes good sense since it's on our lips and I'd want what I put on my lips (and potentially will eat) to be safe.

This colourless edible lip balm by MooGoo smells like mandarin oranges and doesn't contain anything nasty. I've been using this product for a few months now and there's still a lot more left!

I absolutely love this lip balm. It's the one lip balm that I have in my handbag all the time and I particularly love the mug shot of the moo cow on this product!

Would I recommend  this product? Definitely!

Living Nature Foundation




The pump dispenser that dispenses waayyy too much product

My solution to the problem : The cosmetics syringe 
that I use to save the amount of product dispensed

In my quest to make a move towards using safer and natural cosmetic products, I made this switch to Living Nature's Foundation. 

I've been using it for almost two months now and I love it. It goes on smoothly and is light weight and really doesn't feel like I'm wearing make-up at all. I use the color Sand and it looks really natural on me.
It smells like milk chocolate when you're applying it but the smell doesn't last long.


The foundation is packaged in a 30ml glass bottle and comes with a plastic pump dispenser.

A small drawback of the pump is that it's hard to control the amount that it pumps out and it tends to pump out way too much product. I've overcome that problem by purchasing a cosmetics syringe that allows me to use only as much product as I need.

Would I recommend you purchase this product? Definitely!

Living Nature products can be purchased in all Justlife Stores.

MooGoo Anti-Ageing Face Cream

The MooGoo Anti-Ageing Face Cream 
and the "milk carton" that it comes in

I bought the MooGoo Anti-Ageing Face Cream after reading rave reviews about this product online. I've been using it for the past three weeks and let me tell you, I just love it. I've got oily skin and what I like about this face cream is that it's not oily and feels great on the skin.

It comes in a 75g pump bottle packaged in a milk carton. I absolutely adore the milk carton packaging (Hey, what can I say, I just think that the packaging is so right for the product line which is basically made from milk products)!

I use it after washing my face and I normally use about half a pump for both my face and neck. A little bit goes a long way and I expect this product will last me a long time.

This cream contains Resveratrol and Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate, both of which are anti-oxidants. It also has a light fresh scent that goes away fairly quickly.

To be quite honest, I'm not sure if my skin looks any better now than before I started using the product but hey, it's an organic product that feels great on my skin and to me, that is all that I need. I'm all for using safe products on my skin nowadays.

This product gets a thumbs up from me. Try it, you might be surprised.
