If you follow me on Instagram, you probably saw my Insta story about my favorite May beauty boxes. I get many boxes every month and I am so excited to the new  natural/organic products and share them all with you. I was packing for my trip to Mexico, when I received one of my favorite beauty boxes, the Good Being box; It didn't disappoint; they curated the perfect green beauty products for the summer. SO, what's gets me so excited about getting the Good Being box?

First, you have the choice between two different types of Good Being Box for $24/month; the Beauty or Lifestyle box. If you only want to try new natural and organic beauty products, you will love the beauty Good Being box. In the Lifestyle Good Being box, you will find a mix of beauty, wellness, and eco-friendly personal products. Each box contains 4 to 5 products from different size (full size or sample size).

Second, you can personalize your box by picking few of the products you will receive! That's rare in beauty boxes! How many times were you disappointed by the products you receive in your beauty box?! Here, you have the choice! Just love it!

Third, I give them five stars for the discount codes. If you follow me, you know that I believe that one of the best ways to switch to natural products or try new green products is through using discount codes. So, you can imagine how happy to save money with this box!

I highly recommended to get the Good Being Box! Get a sneak pick of the June Good Being Box here!

Now, what was in the May Good Being Box?

Bug Protector Natural Tick Repellent -

Summer comes with insect bites :(. For me, I get an allergy reaction from insect bites and I love walking in nature. So, the insect repellent spray in this box, was so welcome!

Also, it smells good and successfully kept the mosquitoes off my skin. This is a great product for anyone who likes long walks, hikes, or camping in the warming weather.

Juice Beauty PHYTO-PIGMENTS -
Luminous Lip Crayon in Malibu


Just love using this Juice Beauty lip crayon.
The luminous pink shade was light, breezy, and perfectly suited for my trip to Mexico. I have been using it since I am back as well. It also works great for everyday work makeup.

It worked both for day wear and added a shimmery luxurious touch to my evening makeup.  It's so creamy and long-lasting; highly recommended!

Bella Aura Night Cellular Renewal Cream
I love Bella Aura products, and the box included a tube of skincare cream from them.  As you all know, I'm focused on beauty and skincare products for busy women, and I loved the size and convenience of this tube of cream. 

It's small enough to fit in your travel bag and go through airport security.  This non-greasy emulsion made my skin feel firmer and smoother.  This cream is perfect for fighting wrinkles and aging skin.  I definitely would purchase the larger size since I use this every night!

The bonus in the box really touched my heart. 
This may Good Being box included a pair of socially responsible earrings from Starfish Project. 
I'm not sure what stones they were, but they looked to me like yellow quartz and they shimmer beautifully in the sun. 
I love that Starfish Project provides a portion of the proceeds to help exploited girls and women experience freedom, gain independence, and develop careers. 


Gypsy Soul Organics
Gypsy Woman Solid Perfume


The box also included a solid perfume.  It struck me as unisex, with a delightful musky, floral, and earthy scent. 

The metal tin was very easy and convenient to carry, with no risk of spilling, and the scent lasted a while without being overpowering.

If you haven't snag a Good Being box, here is a sneak pick of the June Good Being Box! Sign up for this box, personalize your box, enjoy the beautiful green beauty and personal products, and get discounts on organic and natural products. Do you already receive Good Being box? What are your favorite products so far?

Bamboo Toothbrush - Reduce Plastic Pollution with the WooBamboo Eco- Friendly Oral Care

5/7/2018

0 Comments

 
Eco-friendly Oral Care - Bamboo Toothbrush and silk natural floss
Every step counts!! I have been working on reducing my plastic use; Over the years, I have been researching and learned a lot about plastic pollution impact on oceans; Sea turtles, birds and marine mammals are choking on the plastic we put out there. An article from Clear Water Action mentioned that "plastic waste affected at least 267 marine species, including 43 percent of marine mammal species and 86 percent of sea turtle species." plastic waste has been so damaging to the marine life. We got to do better and every little step count!

WooBamboo is a brand that is working hard to reduce plastic waste in landfills and in the oceans. So, I was so happy to discuss their mission with Ashleigh from their team and try their oral care products. WooBamboo is very transparent about their Eco-friendly claim and how their products help with plastic waste and you can read it all on their website by clicking here. Their packaging is made with renewable plant-based plastic that has soy-based ink & post-consumer waste.

This brand is Eco-friendly and their products work great!

Panda-Friendly Bamboo toothbrush
This toothbrush is so soft on my teeth. It massages my gum without been too harsh on them and make my teeth feel so clean. The toothbrush has a biodegradable brush handle that is made with organically-grown moso bamboo (the bamboo that pandas don't eat). This means WooBamboo cares about how their products impact the original environment, making sure that pandas are not impacting by the bamboo they source. This bamboo brush is also naturally antimicrobial and doesn't destroy panda’s food. They also give you the option to customize your toothbrush. How fun is that! Their bristles are recyclable and made from Dupont Tynex nylon.
They also have a kid-friendly option. The Sprouts are made for kids with super soft bristles and small handle for the little one’s hands.  They also have pet friendly oral care products.

One thing to note though is that
they use PET plastic in their packaging, meaning that it can be recycled many times over. WooBamboo explains it is about "Sterility. It’s a toothbrush, so you’ll inevitably be putting it in your mouth. The safest way to guarantee these puppies are clean is to deliver them to you sealed in our plastic blister packs." It is clear to me that the company aims at reducing overall use of plastic waste, by appealing to all customers.
Does using plastic defy the purpose in their packaging? Of course, I would prefer having a 100% biodegradable toothbrush; If having plastic allows them to be sold at CVS and have a 1000 more customers use toothbrush that pollute less the environment, then, I am all for it. As I mentioned before every small step matters here! Yey for less toothbrush plastic handle in oceans. 

Biodegradable silk floss
I love the idea of the biodegradable silk floss. Flossing might not seem glam, but it is so important for our teeth's health. I love that they give us a cleaner natural option here. This is the first time I used a silk floss and it is working great. It goes in the smallest space between my teeth, removing every little bit of food left. It is also very strong, so it doesn't break easily like regular dental floss.
This biodegradable silk floss is made with natural, biodegradable silk that is coated with natural wax and packaged in renewable plant-based plastic post-consumer waste finely crafted in Italy. This is a perfect way to do our part in reducing the thousands of miles of plastic in oceans and landfills.
They could improve on the floss container though. I couldn't figure out how to put the floss in the blade area; it has been difficult to slip in the floss through the blade. So, I am keeping the floss in the packaging and cutting it by leaving a small floss thread right under the blade; it is has been working great. 

Yummy Fluoride- free Eco-friendly toothpaste
The toothpaste has this sweet vanilla taste and the mint flavor that is not overpowering and is very refreshing to use. This is not your regular toothpaste that will foam; they remove one of the biggest chemical offender - Triclosan - that is linked to cancer. Also, free of Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS), Artificial Sweeteners, Fluoride, Propylene Glycol, Diethanolamine (DEA), or microbeads, this toothpaste is made with bamboo and green tea extracts. It was quite pleasant to use.

Toothpaste Vanilla Mint INGREDIENTS:
Vegetable Glycerin, Hydrated Silica, Water, Sorbitol, Xylitol, Calcium Carbonate, Diatomaceous Earth, Natural Flavors, Bambusa Vulgaris Leaf/Stem Extract, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Stevia Rebaudiana Extract, Chlorophyllin Copper Complex (natural green color), Xanthan Gum, Sodium Laurel Glutamate, Potassium Sorbate

This is a great brand overall! They will release their mouthwash soon. If you want to shop for this brand and help reduce plastic waste, use code CLEANFRESHBEAUTY20 to save 20% off at check out.

Did you use WooBamboo? What do you think?
Are you trying to go plastic-free? What steps have you taking so far? I would love to know; I am trying to go plastic-free. Let me know.

#8 -
Kaia Naturals Facial Cleansing Wipes
I read so many positive reviews about these cleansing cloths; I needed to try them and make up my own mind. I was impressed by the packaging but skeptical about how effective these facial cleanser cloths were really. First, these facial clothes are smaller than I expected. I would say 3/4 of regular facial clothes, but I was pleasantly surprised at how good they worked. 💚They don't contain too much oil; just enough to clean your skin. Even though they are not makeup remover clothes, they also completely remove my makeup.

#9 - 100% Pure | Mattifying Primer| and |Super Fruits Healthy Foundation|
Both of this products are some of my favorites natural and vegan cosmetics; they are natural and contain antioxidants and vitamins. They are a great addition to your makeup bag if you are busy and on-the-go. The foundation provide great coverage; I only needed to apply one layer of the foundation this morning. The Mattifying prime also helps so much with my large pores. It makes my skin smooth before I apply the foundation.

#10 -
Alima Pure |Natural Definition Mascara|
This mascara gives you flawless looking lashes. It stays on all day long. It goes on smooth and does not smudge or clump. The rubber-bristled wand is key here; I noticed that it separates my lashes easily. This mascara also has a great formula that includes Provitamin B5, Jojoba oil, and natural beeswax to nourish the lashes. My lashes looked healthier over time.
