MooGoo SPF 40 Natural Sunscreen Review.

If you know me, you know how much I love natural sunscreen. Other sunscreens contain many nasty chemicals that frankly I don't want anywhere near my body- or my children's! Having worked in a pharmacy I've seen so many people come in and say that their chemical sunscreen is irritating their skin or their child's and wanting to know what to do about it. This is why myself and fellow co workers would always recommend a zinc based, natural sunscreen. The one I'm reviewing today is one of my all time favourites, introducing the MooGoo SPF 40 Natural Sunscreen!*

You know how much I love MooGoo, they are so legit when it comes to ingredients and I just love that. This sunscreen has taken them four years to perfect and boy have they done an amazing job. Containing mainly Zinc, Water and Jojoba Oil this beauty is not greasy at all and applies so beautifully. It is definitely the best natural sunscreen formulation I've seen. The natural zinc acts as an umbrella to reflect both UVA and UVB radiation from the sun and leaves my skin feeling protected and looking glowy. It has only a slight, subtle earthy aroma which does fade that I really like as well.

This sunscreen is suitable for all skin types, even the most sensitive! I love how I can use this on my little ones and never have to worry about what their skin is absorbing. It also applies wonderfully on the face and doesn't feel heavy or greasy in the slightest like some other natural sunscreens can. Did I mention it's also SPF 40?! 

(Wish I could have recommended this product years ago to all my customers in the pharmacy!) 

If you're in the market for a natural way to protect your skin from the sun I highly recommend this one!

MooGoo/Dusty Girls Lip Favourites

Personally, I'm a bit crazy about natural lip balms. After years of having dry, dehydrated lips and trying countless lip products to fix them, I came to realise what worked best for them and what ingredients to look out for to give them the proper hydration and nourishment they so badly needed. I can confidently say that MooGoo lip balms are by FAR the best lip balms I have ever used and they have repaired and nourished my lips properly. 

Below I've listed my all time favourite balms of theirs, as well as a Dusty Girls natural vegan lipstick which is definitely my most favourite natural lipstick I have ever used- Enjoy!

MooGoo CowLick Balm:

What I love about the MooGoo lip balms is that there really is no nasties in them- just pure natural ingredients. The Cowlick lip balm is perfect if you're looking for a general purpose, every day balm. It is full of gorgeous ingredients including Jojoba Seed Oil, Coconut Oil, Soybean Oil, Cocoa Butter, Natural Vitamin E and more! I love how they've added a touch of Mandarin Oil to give the most subtle, delicious aroma. All the ingredients in this balm are perfect for every day hydration and softening. This is the balm I use before I put on any other lip product. 

Tingling Honey Lip Balm:

I absolutely love this lip balm like crazy. This is perfect for those whose lips need serious repair and nourishment/ those with dry, chapped lips. As someone who is obsessed with honey in products I was so excited to purchase this balm! Ingredients include Honey, Allantoin (for repairing), Menthol (for preventing infection/protecting the lips), Jojoba Seed Oil, Coconut Oil, Sweet Almond Oil, Cocoa Butter, Natural Vitamin E, Lemon Fruit Oil and more! 

I seriously love how it gives a cooling, tingling sensation when applied and love how it keeps my lips looking and feeling renewed, soft and incredibly hydrated. This is my go-to balm whenever my lips need that extra bit of nourishment and unlike many other balms, it actually works- hallelujah! 

Strawberry Tinted Lip Balm:

I'm so grateful for MooGoo creating this product. This is the most gorgeous tinted lip balm I have ever used and I love it's subtle colour pay off and luxurious formulation. Another thing I love about this is that the subtle berry colour doesn't come from the red dye that Cochineal insects produce when boiled (yes- many other brands use this to get that red colour we so love!) Rather, they've used Red Beetroot Extract to give the most beautiful subtle colour. I also love how they've added Strawberry Fruit Extract to give a slight strawberry taste. The ingredients in this beauty include Sweet Almond Oil, Jojoba Seed Oil, Shea Butter, Natural Vitamin E and more! Out of all the balms I love this formulation the best, it's so thick and luxurious! I use this whenever I'm wanting a more natural lip colour or under/over the top of other lip products. It's amazing. 

Dusty Girls Natural Vegan Lipstick in "Chia Seeds":

Dusty Girls (Created by MooGoo) specialise in natural makeup and have just brought out these new Natural Vegan Lipsticks! They describe how they are made as "made using a blend of micas for a highly pigmented and vibrant colour, alongside edible ingredients such as Jojoba Oil, Shea Butter and Vitamin E to lock in moisture." 

These beauties are available in four shades, and "Chia Seeds" is simply beautiful. More sheer than it appears, it gives off a beautifully versatile look of both red and brown hues. I love using this as an every day lip colour and just love how soft and versatile it is. I'm so used to lipsticks drying out my lips but never have to worry about that with this product. 

These beauties are also completely natural and edible! If you're in the market for some natural, high quality lip products I simply can't recommend these enough! 

Price/Purchase From:

Lip Balms: $4.50-$5.50- Available from most pharmacies or online at www.MooGoo.com.au

Vegan Lipstick: $19.50- Available from some pharmacies or online at www.Dustygirls.com.au

Dusty Girls Earth Cream Review

I absolutely love a good tinted moisturiser but sometimes the ingredients in the product just down right scare me. 20 chemicals I can barely pronounce? No thanks. This is why I love- and I mean love the product I'm reviewing today. 

Introducing the Dusty Girls Earth Cream!*

You may have "herd" of the Dusty Girls brand as they are produced by a brand I adore- MooGoo! They offer high quality, natural makeup products that leave skin looking and feeling amazing.

I have absolutely loved using this "natural tinted cream" and find it simply beautiful on the skin. Unlike many other tinted moisturisers, this product contains gorgeous natural ingredients including Fennel Flower Seed Oil and Manuka Tree Leaf Oil known for healing and repairing the skin. It also contains Shea Butter, Aloe Vera, Magnolia Acuminata Extract, Chaulmoogra Tree Seed Oil, Natural Vitamin E and more! All of these combined plus the fact that is it fragrance free make it perfect for even those with sensitive skin. (Another little bonus it that it's also SPF 5!)

My favourite way to use this is right before I apply foundation. I love knowing that my skin is absorbing the natural ingredients and creating a lightweight, natural coverage. I find it incredibly easy to apply and love knowing my skin is being moisturised and protected at the same time. I've used it for weeks now and still absolutely love it, whether by itself or under foundation. It also has a subtle earthy aroma which I really like. 

If you're looking for a natural tinted moisturiser that won't irritate your skin I can't recommend this one enough! It's fantastic. This product comes in two shades, Light and Medium and I find the Light shade perfect for my skin. 

Dusty Girls products have such amazing testimonials and I highly recommend checking out their products, especially if you've been looking for high quality, natural makeup that won't irritate your skin! 

Price/Purchase From: $18.50 for 50ml- Available from some pharmacies or online at www.DustyGirls.com.au
