Pregnancy-safe Product Reviews {Juice Beauty}

Thanks to Juice Beauty, I’m having a lot of fun with my blog and my beauty routine!

{See the facebook Post by Juice Beauty about my first Pregnancy Preppers blog post.}

I made the switch to Juice Beauty products almost two month ago, and I don’t think I’ll ever look back.

The first product I started using was the Juice Beauty Perfecting Foundation. Of course, if you know me, you know I’m an ivory kind of girl.

The folks at ULTA were helpful in finding the perfect match for my skin tone- very fair. 🙂

What I love about this product:

• The ingredients.
• How light weight it is.
• The packaging and bottling {love all of Juice Beauty’s packaging}.
• The fact that I didn’t have a massive breakout when I made the switch.

What took some getting used to:

• While it’s definitely a foundation, it’s water-based and was a lighter coverage than I was using previously.

So, what’s a good foundation without a good loose powder?

The best match for me was the Refining Finishing Powder in ivory. {I know, shocker, right?}

There’s nothing I don’t like about this powder. It covers well, spreads lightly and secures the foundation as it should.

My most recent purchase is the SPF 30 Tinted Mineral Moisturizer. {Again, in ivory.}

I have grown to love this moisturizer.

Note that it covers more like a sunscreen than a moisturizer. It’s thick and creamy with the slightest bit of tint that leaves my face a little white until it absorbs a minute or two later.

What I love about this product:

• Fantastic coverage. I cannot say enough about the coverage. From the beach to the pool, this sunscreen/moisturizer rocked Destin, FL.

What took some getting used to:

• The smell. It smells really herby and a lot like an Aveda hair salon. It took me a few days to get used to it, and now I don’t even notice a thing.

Now to my favorite product, the SPF 8 Lip Moisturizers. {The name just doesn’t do these little guys justice.}

What I love about this product:

• Options! Love the three-color option. I don’t wear lipstick EVER so am really enjoying this hint of tint. “Joy” is great for day wear. “Playful” I sometimes rock at work or in the evenings. “Naturally Clear” I reapply all day and night.
• Great feel.
• Great smell.
• SPF 8!

What took some getting used to:

• Don’t be discouraged if it takes you 71 cranks before the stick starts rising for your first use. You also have to apply a bit more pressure than you think you do. {Just ask my husband.}
• I find that “Naturally Clear” is a little drier than the other two sticks. It takes a few applications before you work off that top, drier section.

I am thrilled with my new, healthy choices in beauty products and am LOVING Juice Beauty.
