All of us come across products from time to time that we say we can’t live without because they are reliable when it comes to treating various skin issues or just look great when you wear it.  Maybe in reality the words “Can’t Live Without” may even seem a little over dramatic to some people, but once you find something that works and makes you feel beautiful on the inside as well as outside, why should you have to live with out  it? Below is my list of favorite products.

 

Amal Oil 

This is the only skincare line I will ever use on my face. After many months of trying various products hoping one of them would calm my adult acne and clear up my skin, I discovered Amal Oil,  which is an all natural skincare line that I would recommend to anyone who wants  to use a luxury vegan skincare line. I use their Moroccan Savon Noir which is simple soap made from saponified vitamin E-rich Moroccan olives on my face every day and their  Moroccan Rhassoul Clay which is an ancient, mineral-rich detoxifying clay mask I use about two times a week. I am so pleased with this product that I would prefer not to use anything else since it effectively cleared up my skin. All of Amal products are multi use, meaning each product can be used on  your whole body.

 

In Love Elite Body Care 

This is my all time favorite brand of vegan deodorant because it smells great and holds up well in all climates. Best of all it doesn’t burn and it keeps my delicate underarms soft.  They also make a vegetarian lip balm that contains beeswax that my best friend swears by its effectiveness and won’t use anything else on her lips.

In Love with Elite  Body Care is a family owned independent skincare company that produces everything from product development to manufacturing in-house. The company is a luxury organic skincare line that is innovative with the formulas they use for various products. This makes them highly effective and even more lovable. They are also able to keep costs down for their clients by growing many of their own ingredients.

 

Suti Skincare

One thing I have learned in the last year is not all oil is bad for your skin. I recommend Rejuvenate Face Oil to anyone who has troubled skin and or scarring. The product smells amazing but works even better. In the past I suffered severe scarring from previous adult acne breakouts. I call this my wonder product because it evened out my skin tone and faded the scaring on my face within a few weeks.

Suti Skincare is the UK based company that was founded in 2010 by homeopath, aromatherapist and complementary medicine practitioner Suzannah Jenkins and her Business partner, Tina Steadman. Suti is a luxurious new organic skincare collection that is independently produced and hand blended using fresh organically grown plant and flower extracts.

Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics

Out of all the makeup brands I have tried Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics(OCC)  is by far one of my favorite. If you are looking for a wonderful long wearing vegan lip color, Lip Tar is a must have. Lip Tar is high pigmented, so a little goes a long way and they are easy to blend with each other if you would like to create your own favorite shade.  Another one of OCC products I fell in love with is their tinted moisturizer which is not  heavy and matched my skin perfectly. The product is unique because it contains coconut and berry extracts that is wonderful for the skin.

Founded by makeup artist David Klasfeld in 2004, Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics is a high quality Cruelty- Free Vegan Company.

 

Hurraw!

As I have said in previous articles this is the one lip balm I never leave my home without. I apply it every night before I go to bed because I can always count on it making my lips incredibly soft.

Alima Pure 

Candlelight is one of my favorite facial shimmers because when applied to your cheeks it gives your skin the perfect healthy glow without giving the appearance of any makeup being applied at all. This is one of the shades that goes well with any skin tone and can be used with or without any foundation. It is great for the days you really don’t feel like wearing much makeup at all.  The simmer power enhances what already makes you beautiful.
