It started off so innocently, as it always does. I was working the booth for BeautyARMY and the sweetest lady came over chatting about her products, Clever Girl Innovations and her booth-mates: UNII Cosmetics and the UNII Palette . Being a loyal Stila user I am familiar with the palette storage of makeup but not until I deepened my involvement in the Beauty Industry did I consider depotting my products. Actually I hadn't given it thought until that fateful day at iMATS. Totally intrigued, I purchased one in Pear and promptly got to work. UNII is pronounced like UNI que. You-knee.  Not ooh-knee.

"With an enriching blend of Cupuaçu butter, Shea butter and olive oil, this ultra-rich nourishing balm soothes and melts beautifully into the skin adding intense moisture lasting all day." Everything stated is true and that is why this is my go-to body balm. Mainly used to keep my 'old lady hands' moisturized for hours, I also like it for my tattoos as it brings back the vibrancy of the ink and it keeps my heels crack-free since it effectively and naturally softens without the weight of a heavy cream.

Try it as a lip balm, healing cuticle conditioner as well as a treatment for conditions like eczema, psoriasis and atopic dermatitis.  Having antibacterial properties and containing no toxins, it a perfect stretch mark prevention cream for use during pregn...

I was super excited to be able to try this through BeautyARMY. I am always skeptical of toners, they usually leave my face feeling sticky. I was a loyal user of Clinique's Clarifying Lotion for 22 years and in February, I made the decision to move all of my skincare all-natural . I switched from Clarifying Lotion to Shea Terra Organics Orange Water but I was running low and looking for an alternative that is more readily available. I tilt the sample jar twice on to my cotton round and apply to my face in a circular motion with slight pressure. From my May Kit, this Toner surprised me. I know it contains alcohol but it is lacking the menthol and salicylic acid of the Clinique product - making this more comfortable feeling. Very comfortable feeling actually. My face likes it. It does not leave any trace behind and I feel a little cleaner after using it. Toners remove any soap residue from your cleanser and prep the skin for your moisturizer. The smell is a herbal/medicinal sce...
