Juice Beauty GIVEAWAY!!

This giveaway has ended. Thanks to all that entered!!! Congrats to Tree!!!

For the past 2 years Juice Beauty has been the only organic skin care line that has touched my face. I have extremely sensitive skin and never could use a face wash due to breakouts. I wasn't a pimply teenager, but when I was pregnant with my daughter, I looked like one. Ever since then, my skin hasn't changed and I still get frequent breakouts. :(

Luckily, I found Juice Beauty. Their products are made with 100% organic juices, vitamins, and natural ingredients. There are no pesticides, petroleum or petroleum derivatives (propylene, butylene glycol) toxic preservatives (parabens - methyl, butyl, or ethylparaben; dizaolidinyl or imadazolidinyl urea; formaldehyde), harsh surfactants or sulfates (sodium or ammonium lauryl sulfate; cocamide dea/lauramide dea), artificial colors or dyes, synthetic fragrances, phthalates or dibutyl phthalate, or toluene.

I was super excited when Juice Beauty contacted me to see if I wanted to try some of their awesome new organic beauty products!! I very rarely wear makeup due to the nasty ingredients in majority of them. Juice Beauty has amazed me yet again with their stellar juice products! They sent me correcting concealer, refinishing powder, and reflecting gloss. I also received the blemish powder and stem cellular kit from Facebook giveaways. (I highly recommend signing up for their newsletter and joining them on Facebook to get great deals!)

The Correcting Concealer is made out of:

Features	Benefits
aloe leaf juice	anti-inflammatory, soothes, replenishes moisture, anti-microbial, healing, over 75 nutrients
organic castor seed oil	soothes and protects natural moisture factor, antioxidant
organic fruit & berry seed oils of:	high in antioxidants
grape seed oil	protects, supports collagen & elastin
blueberry seed oil	rich in phytonutrients, good source of fatty acids
pomegranate seed oil	rich reduces inflammation, promotes collagen synthesis
raspberry seed oil	contains up to 83% of omega 3 & 6 essential fatty acids, anti-inflammatory
strawberry seed oil	particularly rich in gamma tocopherol, linoleic and oleic fatty acids
kiwi seed oil	rich in Vitamins A & E, aids in moisture retention

acai	antioxidant rich, good source of essential fatty acids
goji berry	antioxidant rich, helps with circulation
mica & iron oxides	covers & evens skin tone; anti-inflammatory; non-comedogenic

I have tiny broken blood vessels all over my face and the concealer works really nicely at hiding them! I also plucked my eye brows and the concealer hid the redness. I've been using the concealer for several weeks and haven't had any breakouts! I will admit, I have forgotten to wash it off my face at night on several occasions and no clogged pores. I really like the consistency. It matches my skin tone perfectly- with and without a tan!
The Juice Beauty Refining Finishing Powder is a perfect all over power to cover up imperfections. I use the Concealer just for spots and the finishing powder for my whole face. It is made with:

Features	Benefits
organic aloe leaf powder	anti-inflammatory, soothes, replenishes moisture, anti-microbial, healing, over 75 nutrients
corn starch	soothes irritated skin leaves a silky finish
organic fruit & berry seed oils of:	high in antioxidants
grape seed oil	protects, supports collagen & elastin
blueberry seed oil	rich in phytonutrients, good source of fatty acids
pomegranate seed oil	rich reduces inflammation, promotes collagen synthesis

strawberry seed oil	particularly rich in gamma tocopherol, linoleic and oleic fatty acids

acai	antioxidant rich, good source of essential fatty acids
goji berry	antioxidant rich, helps with circulation

It has a silky feel and doesn't trap yucky stuff in your pores. I've had no breakouts and can't tell that I'm even wearing it. It comes in 3 different tones- ivory, sand, tan.

I LOVE the Reflecting Gloss!!! This is the BEST tinted lip gloss I have ever tried. And I've tried hundreds.... It's ingredients are:

lycium chinense (goji) berry	antioxidant rich, helps with circulation
organic agave	natural sweetener, nourishing & healing to the skin

mica & iron oxides covers & evens skin tone; anti-inflammatory; non-comedogenic
It goes on silky smooth with no granules. It also doesn't make your lips peel. After wearing for about 30 minutes, it doesn't leave your lips feeling chapped- they actually still feel silky smooth like they should! I can't wait to try other colors as well as their Organic Kisses and Conditioning Lip Color!

Here is a picture of all 3 products in use:

I also won the Blemish Clearing Powder on Facebook which is awesome! My chin has been a big problem area lately and I hate to cover it up with makeup. Though I hate the redness too. The Blemish Clearing Powder covers the breakout while healing your skin. I will use it if I'm feeling oily to help prevent a breakout. The ingredients are:

Features	Benefits

Juice Beauty's new break through product is their Stem Cellular Repair Moisturizer, which in all honesty is their best product... ok, maybe it ties with their Green Apple Peel. ;) I started using the Stem Cellular Repair 2 months ago and have noticed a huge difference in my eyes. Here is a picture of me last year and a picture of me 2 weeks ago...

I promise, no photoshop!! I don't have it on my Mac. :) The Stem Cellular Repair Moisturizer is "a proprietary blend of fruit stem cells deeply penetrates the skin to repair DNA damage and encourage new cell growth to aggressively firm and eliminate wrinkles. Antioxidant-rich fruit juices, fat-soluble Vitamin C and plant oils hydrate and improve elasticity for lasting, advanced age defy results." It comes in an amazing pump jar that you push down to get the right amount of cream so you don't overuse! If you are looking to get rid of wrinkles, this is the perfect cream for you!
