Aubrey Organics Tangerine Organic Lip Balm

          I finally used up my acure dark chocolate mint lip balm (sure going to miss it :l ).  I'm slightly sad, but I get to try a new lip balm at least.  This time I chose Aubrey Organics' tangerine organic lip balm, which is also an unfamiliar brand to me.  Aubrey Organics is a an organic personal care brand with many organic product options.  They have mainly skincare products with a little bit of cosmetics.  
            My first impression of this lip balm is that it actually smells like tangerine (which surprised me a bit).  I'm used to the orange smell so I thought maybe this lip balm would smell like oranges,but I was wrong.  The balm glides on smoothly and keeps my lips moist.  This lip balm does not have as much of an oily feeling as my acure one.  Overall, it's a pretty good lip balm made with organic ingredients.

Tarte Pure Maracuja Oil

           Literally, two days ago I used up my argan oil and felt kind of sad. Argan oil is the first beauty oil I've ever used and it smells so good. However, this also translates to letting me try new things. I had a sample size of Tarte's Maracuja oil sitting in my room for a few weeks now and I guess it's time for me to try it. I read a little description about this oil and it's suppose to make your skin firmer and brighter. Also, it is organic and paraben free. First off, the bottle looks nice and it is tiny being a sample size. You have to push the top of the cap in order for the dropper to pick up the oil, which is quite different from argan oil. I find it a bit hard to use and the cap picks up about 3 drops of oil. Personally, I prefer the smell of argan oil more because Maracuja oil smells a little bit like plastic. I applied 4 drops of the oil on my face and it feels more oiler compared to argan oil. Then, I read through the how to use section for the oil and found that I was only suppose to use 2-3 drops. I guess I should probably read the directions for use before actually using it. I'll definitely try it with 2-3 drops probably tomorrow. I kind of assumed that Maracuja oil would be similar to argan oil since they are both oils, but now I know not to assume :) 


Update: I think I found the best way for me to use this oil. First, I place the bottle on a flat surface. Then, I push the cap with some force to draw enough oil out. Next, I carefully place 3 drops of oil in a straight line on my finger. Lastly, I rub the oil with my fingers and slowly pat it on my face. This way I didn't make a mess and leave excess oil on my face.
