The Review | Juice Beauty Simply Flawless Pressed Powder

When someone says the word, “organic,” while talking about makeup, I’m not gonna lie, I get skeptical. There have been products that either are really oily or don’t provide a nice finish and so on. Let’s just say, organic makeup has gotten a bit of a bad rap, but after trying Juice Beauty’s Pressed Powder I might start trying out some more natural products!
While out shopping, I spotted a bunch of random Juice Beauty cosmetics. The packaging may have been what drew me in, but the fact that the ingredients are a little better for me is what sold it. The color claims to be sheer but I would say that there is definitely still a faint bit of color. While applying, it produces a matte effect that I find actually lasts throughout the day. The product itself feels nice and buttery smooth but that being said, it is possible to go overboard if you use a real heavy hand. This powder gives the skin a smooth natural and even finish which I love.

Overall, I would recommend this product to both organic makeup skeptics and organic makeup lovers alike! Also, for any of you wondering, the product is labeled as “vegan,” “certified organic,” and is made from recycled paper.

Korea | Part 2

Let me tell you, that first step off of the airplane as we landed in the PDX Airport was absolutely glorious. I quite literally felt like falling on the ground and embracing it with open arms. Flying must just not be my thing. I used to think, “Hey I can fly anywhere!” but now I dread the flight. The only reason I really dread it is because any time the plane hits turbulence, you will find me gripping the arm rests, closing my eyes and praying to see tomorrow. It was long, but it was a fun experience over all! Enough ramble, hope you enjoy these next few snaps of our last couple of days in Korea (and a little Japan)!
