My review of Lauren Brooke Cosmetiques



Lauren Brooke Cosmetiques is a new and innovative approach to makeup. We use the finest, natural and certified organic plant oils and extracts, soothing flower essences, plus beautiful minerals and pigments from the earth to create the most exquisite, healthy makeup available for your skin. Combined, these opulent ingredients have exceptional skin-softening, moisturizing and anti-aging abilities that help revitalize, rejuvenate, and restore your skin's vibrant glow.


Why organic? Our skin absorbs up to 60% of what is applied to it. Most products today contain toxic chemicals, petroleum-based ingredients, artificial colors and fragrances, and harmful preservatives that are absorbed into your skin, clog the pores, and actually cause your skin to age faster! Organically grown plants have been found to contain greater amounts of vitamins, nutrients, and anti-oxidants than plants grown with pesticides. We believe your skin deserves the very best that Nature has to give. Our line of cosmetics and skin care products are purely natural and organic.  No parabens, chemicals, or unnecessary fillers are used in the creation of our products.
Mission
To provide women with truly natural and healthy beauty products and to empower women to embrace and celebrate their unique beauty.
Company Overview
We have developed our healthy, natural and organic makeup line to not only enhance your natural beauty, but nourish your skin at the same time.



I was recently chosen to get 2 products and try them out for review from the amazing Lauren Brooke Cosmetiques.I have to say that i have never been more pleased. The colors i chose were just perfect. I absolutely love the lipstick and i am not a big lipstick person i never like how it feels on my lips but with the lipstick i got for review i loved it and could wear it all day and it is moisturising and just perfect. The shadow i picked was a purple shade, purple is my favorite color and i was highly pleased with this shade and the pigmentation is great.I must say that when it comes to lipstick organic is for sure the way to go for me. It seems to really be the only type of lipstick that i am able to enjoy. I also want to say that customer service with this company is amazing and I highly recommend them. I am glad i was able to try this brand and it will be a favorite for many years to come. I can not wait to purchase more of the lip colors in different shades.

My Opinion :

I have 2 dogs a shepherd mastiff and a english bulldog puppy. Both of my dog love these .. I watch the puppy tho because english bull dogs are not to have raw hide and this is kinda like that but it dont break off it gets really soft and so far he has been doing great with them and its his go to treat he loves it. My bigger dog gobbles them up they dont last him long but he really enjoys it .. i am glad my boys were given the chance to try these and i highly recommend them.

Bake It Fun Silicon baking Mat


Since I have started to do reviews for products this has been by far my favorite product that i have received. I love this silicone baking mat and it is now a staple item i must have in my kitchen. As much baking as we do in this house i can not believe it has taken me this long to get a silicone baking mat . I have used them before in other various bakery's i have worked in but i have never liked one that i like , like this one. Me and my kids decided to make some Reeses pieces peanut butter oatmeal cookies. They came out amazing not one single cookie stuck as u can see in the pictures below they all cooked evenly and nothing burnt . They came out a nice golden brown and they were ever so yummy. I loved that the mat its self was never really hot to the touch they could be removed right away or left on the mat to cool. The possibility's  are endless with this mat. I cant wait to make some macaroons. I love how there are circles to place your dough even tho you dont have to use them its great guide and a ruler to help you space other products you may make. I also must mention that this mat is so easy to clean wipes right off. I love this baking mat and plan to get more. I highly recommend this product and i am happy i was able to review it. 
Box the baking mat came in. 
Baking Mat in all its glory! 


Nice even portions!
My silly girls they loved helping make the cookies and using the mat! 
The Finished product so yummy!

My Opinion :

I will say first that I welcome this to the use of needles anyday! I am happy to have this product to go along with the original HA serum . I love this companys products. Like the other product the packaging is great its durable and pump is nice and sturdy. Now the smell of this one is more on the mint side but still that slight freeze pop smell i got from the other one could be i was just smelling the HA still who knows. Its creamy and light and i really like to use this product on my dry elbows .. i know its not meant to be used for that but it has helped alot with it . I highly recommend  this brand and product . I will continue to use it and hope to see great results . I am happy that i was able to review this product.

Adovia Exfoliating Facial Sea Salts


I love these i was so excited to get these facial salts and there is so much product that it will last me forever i am so excited to try out different ways to use this product and there are sooo many things you can do. My main interest is making my own salt scrubs. I will post a few recipes below. I highly recommend these salts and a little goes a long way! 

You can purchase them here on Cleopatra's Choice  or amazon 


Ingredients:
1/2 cup oil. Use sweet almond, grapeseed or another light-textured massage oil. Don't use simple cooking oil from your pantry.
1 cup fine sea salt. Baleine is a good choice. Don't use simple iodized table salt -- it's too harsh. If you have sensitive skin you can substitute sugar, which is gentler.
5-15 drops high quality essential oils. The essential oil you choose for your salt scrub depends on the result you want. Lavender is relaxing, lemongrass is refreshing and rosemary is stimulating. You can experiment and do your own blend.
Directions:
Put the salt (or sugar) in a small bowl.
Add the oil, mixing well with a spoon or wooden stick. The texture should be moist enough to hold together, but not overly oily. You can adjust the amount of oil to achieve that texture.
Gently tap in the drops of essential oil and combine well. If you get more interested in aromatherapy you can customize your recipe using different essential oils.

Ingredients:
1 cup coarse sea salt
½ cup baby oil
Directions:
Stir the ingredients together in a bowl and put into a screw top jar.
Leave for 24 hours.
Stir the mixture and apply to any areas of the body you wish to exfoliate.
Massage into the skin for a few minutes then shower off.
Pat your skin dry.

Children 'n Us Stroller organizer







I love it! It is a great product and i am so happy i was able to have a chance to use this product. Upon getting it i just thought that it had 2 insulated pockets but it in fact has the whole inside of it thats insulated and then 2 mesh pockets for your drinks. It has an inside zipper pocket also along with a back pocket and 2 front pockets. Plenty of space to put everything you could imagine that you would need for your little one .. and its so versatile it can be used even in the back of the car if you dont need it for a stroller. I think this product is a must have for moms and i highly recommend it to everyone.

Can be purchased here on Amazon
