I liked the Madre Labs products that I tested last time and I really liked these too :)  I continue testing and share with you the results.

Madre Labs, Leave-In Conditioner, Tangerine Melody, For All Hair Types

My hair is long, normal, a little confused the hair ends.  This product is non-greasy, has lovely sweet tangerine  scent that stays on my hair for a long time.  It leaves my hair softer and gives a nice, natural sheen without weighing it down. I think if your hair is badly damaged, the  just not nourishing and moisturising enough for your hair.

Madre Labs, Hand Cream with Argan Nut Oil, Unscented

This is a natural cream with no extra emulsifiers or silicones. This is a very creamy, nourishing, a little oily, unscented product. I usually prefer scented hand creams but sometimes unscented feels nicer. It leaves my hands soft but not greasy.  I like to use it at nights. I also use it on my dry knees and elbows.

Andalou Naturals, Shower Gel, Mandarin Vanilla

Today it is my favourite shower gel,  Andalou Naturals, Shower Gel, Mandarin Vanilla. To be fair, I am slightly obsessed with tangerines so this was probably always going to be a winner but it also smells so fresh. It doesn't smell too sickly or like it's full of chemicals, instead its just like sticking your nose in a tangerine, aka great. I love fruity scents in the shower in the morning as I think they really help wake you up and this does exactly that. It's thick, rich and combined with Vanilla which acts as an effective all over cleanser. Soft and gentle it moisturizes skin. There's no doubt that this will leave your skin a wonderful aroma of tangerine with a tiny hint of vanilla.

                        

Where to buy? I bought this gel in iHerb. iHerb is the best online store for all your natural beauty products. Named #1 online supplement store by ConsumerLab.com. 4 years in a row!

New purshaces

Avalon Organics, Vitamin C Sun Aging Defense, Refreshing Cleansing Gel $7.81

I have oily-combination skin. This foam cleanses well and doesn't leave my face feeling dried out like many other cleansing foams or gels do. Leaves skin clean, fresh and moisturized. It has a very pleasant citrus smell, but not too strong so you get a fresh mood in the morning.

Desert Essence, 100% Pure Jojoba Oil, for Hair, Skin and Scalp $8.26

This is the good vegatible oil. I use this for a lot of things. It's great for using in the face for a boost of moisture, for removing make-up, for conditioning dull and tired hair, and for dry cuticles. It is recommended, and remember - one drop goes a long way! 

Rainbow Research, French Green Clay, Facial Treatment Mask $6.35

It's one ingredient, and is 100% safe and natural, unlike some products containing chemicals. The mask is easy to use, leaves my skin silky. But very dries skin. I think is ideal for very oily skin.

Alba Botanica, Sea Salt Body Scrub $7.81

This scrub smells awesome and scrubs well. It leaves my skin so soft! Just lovely! IHerb.com has the lowest price I have been able to find.














Where to get this? I buy this stuff in iHerb.com

iherb shower gels

I have worked with iHerb  previously, and let me tell you, I couldn't be happier with the results and my shopping experience. What is iherb you ask? Online reseller that carries close to 25,000 natural products, including vitamins, herbal supplements, skincare products, grocery items and more. They offer a lot of products suited for the healthy life style, such as vitamins and herbal supplements (vegan, vegetarian, raw and even gluten free), cosmetics and personal care items that are organic and/or cruelty-free, eco-friendly products along with a kid's section  for healthy child products. But the part that was most attractive to me? Their Bath & Beauty category.

So what can you buy with $50? Umm a LOT! I decided to go with one basic theme for my haul. What do I need the most of? What am I constantly running out of in my bathroom? Shower gel! So I thought I would shop around iherb and try out some of their all natural shower and bath washes. As a new iherb Customer, I was able to use a Coupon Code, EVO218, which is $10 of my first order. So instead of only getting to spend $50, I received $60. And guess how many things I got? 10! Yes, 10 shower gels, now you tell me another place you can get that much loot for that price. I got all fruity scents, (because those are my favorite) and now I'm going to share with you my faves out of the haul...

Jason Natural is a brand I've heard of, and seen in local drugstores, but never actually tried. The scent, Apricot was calling my name, so I had to try it out. The Jason Natural Glowing Apricot  sells $10.76 for 30 fl ounces. That's a huge bottle of bath gel, it will last you quite a while. It's A gentle wash that cleanses with natural botanical surfactants and safely nourishes with Vitamin E and Pro-Vitamin B5. Our natural blend of brightening Apricot Oil and Sunflower Seed Oil keeps your body soft, smooth and glowing with health. The texture is a bit thick, almost like a conditioner for your hair, but it gets the jobs done, leaving behind a nice apricot scent.

My absolute favorite product on the iherb site, (well that I've tried) is the Weleda Pomegranate Creamy Body Wash
 I didnt' include it in my haul, because I already have two bottles of this at home, but it's always been a must have for me. And iherb sells it for $13.82, a shocker because I paid $17.50 for mine at Target. If you haven't smelled Weleda, you are truly missing out on an amazing shower experience. It's a thick rich cream that smells of a strong sweet juicy pomegranate. The smell is so original, it's unlike any scent I have ever smelled before. Of course, this is created with all natural oils, and leaves your skin feeling fresh and smooth. If you're going to purchase only one thing from iherb's bath and body selection, choose this.

Rounding out my favorites, the AnneMarie Borlind Strawberry Gel  captures the luscious scent of strawberries while cleansing your skin with all natural ingredients. For $11.46 this is free of preservatives, silicones and anything you can think of that isn't natural. This is a thinner formula that has a bit of a flowery scent underneath the strawberry. I used it as a bubble bath as well, and it really made the bathtub smell like a field full of fresh strawberries. At iHerb you are getting 24% off the purchase price, making this a major steal, like everything else I've already mentioned.

The bottle line? iherb is the best online store for all your natural beauty products. No longer will I be buying the expensive products at stores like Whole Foods or Sprouts, I'm really excited I found iHerb, I love finding discounted beauty products online. Especially ones that are healthy for you and won't harm your skin.
