On Lips:Vapour Organic Beauty Elixir Plumping Gloss in Coax

Tsi-la Organics graces us with the newest addition to their line of fine crafted scents ~ Misaki! We’re busy welcoming Misaki Eau de Parfum to our vanity tops as Spring blooms and so does our desire for all things new.

We are huge fans of the entire line of Tsi-La minis with their top quality organic elements like vanilla orchids, candied citrus and Italian bergamot. We love these petite roll-ons and sometimes we just can’t get enough – so bring on the 50ml Misaki.

Misaki has the gentle seduction of a Summer breeze with organic fresh lavender, green tree moss and Tahitian vanilla orchid.( Yummy classics and just what we need to build our bikini-weather confidence!) It also features buzz-worthy organic ingredients like goji berries, red tea and persimmon, along with honey, crushed mint, bergamot and neroli nectar infused with flower extracts. All to create a gentle organic fragrance saturated in tranquility.

We adore that Tsi-La creates all their fragrances to be completely free of harmful phthalates and synthetic ingredients and crafts the decadent perfumes in artisan-sized batches using renewable energy! We can almost smell the summer breeze now! Ahhhh-men!

If there’s anything we love, it’s organic solutions in convenient packages. That’s why some of our favorite products are of tip top quality AND fit in our smallest clutch. Replace synthetic products with these 100% natural and organic scents – naturally active aromatherapy in an easy to use pulse point roller. Breathed in and absorbed through the dermis, Aromatherapy Personals instantly help restore balance to mind, body and skin. Instant restoration!

With eleven natural aromas, there’s a fix for every situation. We love the centering effect of both Meditation and Anxiety Relief (especially as we meet deadlines!) Jet Lag Relief went directly into our travel kits and we promise, it totally worked on the east to west coast and back shuffle. Crave Control is a bright smelling replacement for 3o’ clock cupcake cravings and anytime we need the proven curbing powers of grapefruit and peppermint. When seasonal pollen outnumbers people, you can be sure we’ll be reaching for Sinus Headache Relief.

Aromatherapy Personals are 100% natural and certified organic essential oils and other skin-savers like jojoba (rich in Vitamin E), anti-oxidants (superfruit and sea buckthorn oil) and vitamins (vitamins A, C, E, beta-carotene, flavonoids plus essential fatty acids). Every blend is free from synthetic fragrances, alcohol, parabens, irritants, artificial dyes and colors. Bonus: Aromatherapy Personals deliver deliciousness in our fave way: recyclable roll-on bottles. Now we can take our mood-savers on-the-go!

If you’re like us, you’ve wanted to give up toxic synthetic perfumes for organic – but haven’t found fresh, glamorous fragrances that compare to Calvin Klein, Esté Lauder or Chanel. Well our day has come! Honoré des Prés is the first line of French organic perfumes designed by Olivia Giacobetti. Mademoiselle Giacobetti is one of France’s most famous perfumers, known for some of our all time favorite, wish-they-were-organic, fragrance houses including Diptyque, Hermés and L’artisan Parfumeur.

Now Giacobetti’s discerning nose brings us Honoré des Prés featuring five luxury scents. Each is completely natural, ECOCERT certified organic and free of petrochemicals, synthetic perfumes, coloring agents, and phthalates. The substantial bottles are ingeniously packaged in beautiful accordion folded recycled paper, a gorgeous gift in itself, and each scent smells amazing. Just what we always wanted! Rejoice!

Chocolate Sun’s amazing organic sunless tanning products have arrived just in time to get a fab faux glow as we shed our sweaters for Spring! We are elated to finally get a natural-looking bronze without the sun damage, toxic chemicals or melting-plastic smell of conventional tanning products. In fact, Chocolate Sun’s 100% natural combination of ingredients like sweet almond, coconut oil and vanilla extract leaves us smelling positively delicious!
