I do have a review on yes to carrots/cucumber and I have a video on elf mineral lipstick from a few years ago but I won't be doing any in the future!

That's interesting, I haven't heard many people that start with oral care first! Some natural toothpaste isn't as abrasive (or abrasive at all) compared to mainstream toothpastes. This can cause your teeth to look less white over time, so it is recommend still using something with an abrasive quality to make your teeth still stay white once or twice a week. I'm not sure how that would affect the braces though. I still get fluoride at the dentist twice a year, but I don't have fluoride in any of my teeth products.

I have a video coming SUPER soon on my favorites. It will probably be up around Friday!

Yes, I do!! I still love them and think they're awesome and really convenient.

Hi there! I would be happy to look at any ingredients - feel free to email me at iluvjesse444@me.com. Just copy and paste the ingredients and I'll take a look and break it down for you :)

For a lathering shampoo I always recommend the Organic Excellence shampoo and conditioner. Currently I'm using the Eucalyptus Mint shampoo bar (no olive oil - too strong an oil to wash out completely from my scalp!) from Sweet Creek Herbal Care on etsy and Apple Cider Vinegar as conditioner! I love the combination and plan on doing a video soon on them!

Currently I'm using the All Natural Face cream foundation/concealer for blemishes and the RMS Beauty un-cover up for under eye circles. I've tried Lauren Brooke Cosmetiques, some companies from etsy, and even used the Hard Candy concealer for a little bit last year because I was desperate for dark circle coverage! But the ones I'm using now are my most favorite and have great ingredients.

Tarte's products aren't as natural as I like to use. I've been tempted by the blushes and chubby lip pencils (forget what they're called!) though. Although they do have natural ingredients in their products, the addition of synthetic ingredients is enough to make me not purchase them :(

Love Wheatenbeauty1 and theflaxenowl! I honestly don't watch that many natural beauty gurus on youtube, but I've recently started following A LOT of natural beauty bloggers. I plan on a doing a video of my favorites soon because there's so many!

I've only heard of Bismuth Oxychloride being in Bare Minerals foundations but I'm sure it's in many! I know it can cause skin sensitivity/itchiness/redness for people with sensitive skin. I don't believe I've tried anything with it though and haven't tried Bare Minerals (other than the mascara). I do know it's synthetic and not a true mineral, but I'm not sure about how toxic it is though. Sorry for the delayed response!

I've tried the eye primer, love it! Haven't tried the face primer. I've tried both the cream and liquid foundations and I prefer the cream because I can use it as a spot concealer - I haven't actually tried it as an all-over foundation. I really like the eyeshadows too!

I don't particularly like either of them. I do like the mascara from bare minerals, but it isn't as clean as my Zuzu Luxe mascara. I believe the powder foundation is pretty pure though. I've never tried tarte and don't think I plan to.

I am not actively choosing cruelty free products, but truly natural products and cruelty free products mostly go hand in hand (I'm not talking *mainstream* natural products). I trust and buy mostly from small businesses online and on Etsy that believe in the idea of using natural products, and I've never once thought they tested on animals. I will use products with ingredients from animals such as beeswax, etc.

Nope, I'm not

I don't?

I know of a few but not much about them. I recommend googling for information :)

I would probably recommend the one from The ANF. It has a build able medium coverage but I would recommend layering with the cream concealer/foundation pot - it has great coverage.

Technically I'm not but I don't eat steak or chicken frequently at all because I don't like the taste very much.

Nope I always use my cream concealer from the All Natural Face to get the coverage I like. I only set it with my foundation powder from Sobe Botanicals which gives light coverage. I used to use the ANF liquid foundation and it gives light/medium coverage. I recommend the ANF, Sobe Botanicals, and My Beauty Addiction on etsy for affordable makeup.

I hope to have a new vlog up soon :)
