Hello! Today I have a hempy post for everyone!
About Merry Hempsters
Merry Hempsters (as the name suggests) offers wonderful hemp products. If you aren't already aware, hemp oil is an environment-friendly effective oil made from hemp seeds. Not to be confused with the psychoactive cousin, hemp has been found to possess healing properties. Merry Hempsters is also working towards a more sustainable company by using soy ink, hemp stock, and recycled packaging for shipping.
Hello! I have a lot of items to review from Aroma Naturals. I'm so excited for these beauty and home products because they are natural and high quality!
About Aroma Naturals
For about 20 years, Aroma Naturals has been making exactly what their name suggests; natural products with aromatherapy. Aroma Naturals uses ingredients that are fresh, pure, and good for us and the environment. Their candles are always plant-based and contain no synthetic fragrances. They now have a wide array of products that range from home fragrance to skin care, which are coincidentally, pretty much my two favorite things.
Hello! I hope all of my readers are ready for a new post here on This Makeup That Makeup!
About Lauren Brooke Cosmetiques

There will never be petroleum-based ingredients, parabens, artificial colors, or toxic chemicals in Lauren Brooke Cosmetiques.

I was amazed at the selection of face, eye, and lip makeup available! You won't have to give up color or variety for natural ingredients.
My Thoughts
Hey guys! Today I have a different kind of post for you today! If you've researched different ingredients in hair and skin care, you've probably heard of avocados! I'm here to share my experience with using avocados (other than eating them of course!!!)
Avocados are high in antioxidants and also have anti-inflammatory properties. They are healthy to eat and are also healthy for your skin and hair.

My Thoughts
I was super duper excited to try these natural products that are cruelty-free. Let's get into the review!
Frizz Hair Shampoo
I immediately noticed that all of the ingredients were pure. There wasn't anything I couldn't pronounce except ylang ylang, but that's another story. The first time I used it, I was surprised at the amount of lather I got. The directions mention leaving it on your hair and scalp for a few minutes and that's exactly what I did.
I rinsed it off (and followed with conditioner) and could see a huge difference in frizz. My hair was smoother, but weightless at the same time. I have literally never experienced this with my shampoo!
Dry Hair Conditioner
Just like everything else, it was all natural. The ingredients all look great for dry hair with all kinds of oils. The first time I used it, I was shocked at the texture. It was thick and creamy. Like, really thick like body butter. A little went a long way so a little bit covered all the ends of my hair to about my neck. This is a big deal since my hair is down to about mid-back.
I rinsed it and felt like my hair had a treatment. I could feel the difference in my hair while it was still wet. It was so moisturized!
Leave-In Conditioner
I loved the creamy consistency! I put a nickel sized bit in my hand and put it through the ends. It felt like weightless moisture. It was so luxurious and amazing.
I blow dried my hair and noticed an amazing difference. The shampoo, conditioner, and leave-in conditioner all together made my hair amazingly soft, but bouncy and weightless.
Anti-Humidity Hair Pomade
I also was sent a cute little sample of this pomade. Some of the main ingredients are macadamia nut oil, sweet almond oil, and mango butter. I don't normally use pomade, but I was willing to try this after seeing the quality of all the other Just Natural products.
I flat ironed my hair and took a little pomade. It's very thick, just like the conditioner. You could hold the pot upside down and it would stay in there! I rubbed it in my hands and put through the ends. It added a little bit of shine and separated my hair a bit. No stickiness of clumping!
I totally recommend Just Natural hair products! They all are high quality and have a nice light citrusy essential oil smell.

Hello! I have a fun review on some skin care and body care for you guys today!
About Shea Terra
Shea Terra was made when Tammie Umbel wanted to make shea butter more available by offering it at some of the lowest prices ever. She incorporated shea butter in products like never before. After a while, the company took off and Shea Terra is one of the top African ingredient brands.
My Thoughts
Shea Butter & Malawi Sugar 2 n 1 Body Scrub ($16)
Who knew the benefits of dark chocolate to your skin? This dark chocolate scrub is a 2 in 1 lotion and scrub. The organic dark chocolate antioxidants have a powerful anti aging effect on skin and the fair trade malawi sugar will scrub away dead skin.
This stuff smells so good you want to eat it (though you probably shouldn't). I tried using it as a cream, but the sugar is gritty and it is pretty dark. It doesn't really smooth into the skin as a cream for me, but it works amazingly for a pre-shower treatment. In the shower, it works great as a thick luxurious scrub that feels more like a chocolate bar.
Shea N Bees Extreme Lip Butter ($9)
If you know me, you'll know that I am obsessed with lip balms, which is why I was so excited to try this lip butter! This is a HUGE 1 oz butter that is 100% biodegradable. It's made with organic shea butter, golden beeswax, organic castor bean oil, and a couple other things.
As you can see, I got the bananas and baobas. The smell is so strong and delicious and it works amazingly! I completely recommend this!
Shea Terra was also kind enough to send me some extra small samples!
Shea Butter 30% Extreme Cre'me ($16)
This butter is made with a large amount of shea butter to ensure that your skin will have maximum benefits. The ingredient list is quite impressive and including fresh pressed organic aloe vera juice, organic shea butter, and organic cocoa butter.
This scent really took me back to my child hood since white chocolate was my favorite. It's a very thick and luxurious cream that really goes with the Dark Chocolate scrub.
Rose Hips Black Soap ($18)
If you keep up with beauty miracles, I'm sure you've heard of Black Soap. If you're skeptical of the magical powers of black soap, you need to try this! It is a very dark liquid that can be intimidating if you've never tried anything like it, but has an amazing smell!
I'm not sure if it's the rose hips or black soap, but it smells like walnuts or something like that. It made my skin feel great from the first time I used it. It felt like I didn't even need a moisturizer!
I recommend you check out Shea Terra because they have such unique products that are actually pretty affordable!

Hello! I have a review for you today that is a pretty interesting eye skin care product that I'm sure a lot of you guys will like. Here we go!
About VIIcode
VIIcode is a skin care company who makes professional grade products. The name "VIIcode" is pronounced Vee Two Code. There is said to be a long history of secret ingredients that have been used on royal families by Byrne Victor and this company is inspired by that. They use natural plant extracts to create products to help your skin feel and look better.
My Thoughts
I was so excited to try these eye masks. First things first, I'll go over the basics of the product. They are sold in packs of 6 for $55. This might sound expensive at first, but keep in mind that this is comparable to a spa treatment which can be over $80 for one session. VIIcode suggests 3 boxes as a course of treatment.
This eye mask is a pretty large piece of fabric treated with special plant extracts and deep sea botanicals. These ingredients are designed to depuff undereye bags, reduce undereye circles, and prevent wrinkles. While wrinkles aren't a problem for me yet, I believe it is never too early to start anti-aging routines.
The procedure is pretty easy. You just take out the packet, peel the clear backing, and stick it onto your undereye area. I was surprised at how well it sticks to the area even after readjusting a few times. I liked how the mask felt tingly and cool at first. It was very relaxing having the coolness since it's pretty hot where I am right now.
I noticed a big difference in the texture of my skin. I had uneven dry rough skin under my eyes, but after only the first treatment, I noticed it was smooth and nice feeling.
If you are looking for a luxury spa beauty product, VIIcode might be a brand for you to check out!
