All Natural Beauty Finds

The eco-chic babe behind the handcrafted, non-toxic and organic line blossom jar shares her all-natural beauty finds with us

Morning routine: In the morning I just splash warm water on my face. While my skin is still damp, I apply blossom jar Normal Skin Moisturizing Oil. I let it soak in for a few minutes and then apply MyChelle Sun Shield SPF 28 to protect my face and neck from the strong Australian sun.

For makeup, I apply a light layer of Jane Iredale loose mineral powder and cover up any redness with RMS Beauty’s “Un” Cover-Up.  For my eyes, I use Josie Maran’s Beautiful Nudes eye shadow palette and swipe on Lash Perfection Gel by Per-fekt Beauty. A light dab of Josie Maran rose blushon my cheeks and a tad of RMS Beauty Living Luminizer and I’m ready for my day.

Overnight skin ritual: In the evening I cleanse my skin with Pomega5’s Lemongrass Clarifying Cleansing Bar. To remove any lingering eye makeup, I rub coconut oil onto my eyes and wipe everything off with a soft cloth. I use blossom jar Normal Skin Moisturizing Oil at night as well, adding a bit more oil for extra healing. When I remember, I apply castor oil to my eyelashes and eyebrows to promote growth.  And if I have any irritation on my face, I spot treat with Sandalwood Soothing Lotion by Pratima.

Who cuts/colors your hair: Danica Winters at The Plum salon in San Francisco. The salon is beautiful, everything is natural and organic, and she knows how to layer my fine hair perfectly! Since moving to Sydney, I’ve had to get a few trims in-between visits back home and really like Bex at Rocket Hair.

Hair habit: In the shower I use a variety of shampoos and conditioners by Giovanni Eco Chic Hair Care or Sukin (an Australian brand). Once a week pre-shower, I use Dr. Hauschka’s Neem Hair Oil for deep conditioning. Since my hair is fine and damages easily, I tend to let it air dry into soft waves. During the summer when it’s hot, I spray on Yarok’s Feed Your Ends leave-in conditioner and rub in a small amount of Josie Maran Argan Oil Hair Serum to tame any frizz. During the winter when it gets colder, I use something heavier like Evo Liquid Rollers Curl Balm to define my waves.

Favorite eye look: I tend to go for a very natural look. Josie Maran’s Beautiful Nudes eye shadow palette is my go-to for every day. I apply nude shadow all over the eyelid and a darker brown shadow in the crease. If I want to go for a more dramatic look, I love using the cream eye shadows by RMS Beauty. Seduce is my favorite color—shimmery and mysterious.

Go-to lipstick: Jane Iredale Carmen lipstick. It’s a nice sheer red.

Nail color of the moment: I tend to keep my nails natural, especially since I create all blossom jar products by hand and work with essential oils and flowers/herbs daily. But for special occasions, I like Prince Charming by Priti NYC. So girly and bright!

Signature scent: Infinite Love perfume by Lotus Wei. The blend smells incredible and is infused with ingredients like rose, red mandarin and honey.

“Never without” product: Intelligent Nutrients lip balm. The Australian sun can be brutal on skin—especially lips!

Secret to staying young and beautiful: The tried-and-true basics: drink lots of water (especially with lemon juice), get plenty of sleep, exercise to get blood flowing to your skin (I am obsessed with Ballet Beautiful), eat organic foods, limit sugar of all kinds (one of the worst skin agers), and carve out leisure time to do what you love.  Passion and good health are what keep you beautiful for life!
