Merry Christmas!
It’s almost Christmas and I want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a holiday season filled with love and laughter. Even if you don’t celebrate, I hope you have a beautiful week. I also wish you all health and happiness now and in the New Year.
I also wanted to take a moment to say thank you so much for all of your love and support in 2015. I started Beautiful Basics when I first became ill because I needed something that I could do and call my own. I could have never imagined what this little hobby of mine would eventually turn in to, and it’s because of you, my dear readers, that Beautiful Basics has grown into something I am immensely proud of. Thank you for reading my blog and commenting and sharing. I can’t even explain how much your interaction means to me and I look forward to seeing our community grow even more in 2016.
And also a big thank you to the companies I have worked with in the past year. My readers love learning about new companies and products and your belief in me has been so generous. I look forward to continuing our working relationships.
Thank you. See you all in the New Year!

December Goodbeing Review
I think it’s a safe bet to say that most of us enjoy
subscription boxes and the surprise that arrives in our mailboxes or on our
doorsteps each month. I’ve been a huge fan of Goodebox since they launched and
now they have rebranded as a Beauty, Wellness, and Lifestyle Subscription Box
called Goodbeing. They’re still an awesome subscription service (from my
beloved state, Oregon) but they’re bigger and better than ever before!
With new options to customize your box you can be sure you
are getting products tailored to your preferences. You might be wondering what
a Goodbeing is, well the company defines it as “a human being living their
best, healthiest, most vivacious life”. This means this box is perfect for all
Green Goddesses and those of us trying to live a clean and green life.
If you’re looking for a perfect Holiday gift that keeps
giving try gifting a subscription to a friend or family member. With several
different plans to choose from you can gift (yourself or someone else) as many
or as few boxes as you would like. You can pay as little as $18 for a
subscription or $21 per box if you would prefer to pay as you go.
When you sign up you are asked to fill out a quite lengthy,
albeit unobtrusive, survey asking you about your tastes in beauty and lifestyle
products. You can get very specific and tell them what shades you love and
which ones you don’t, scents you like and dislike (or if you’re like me – that
you prefer no scent at all) and other things that will help them pick out the
best products to send to you to each month. This way you’re not getting perfume
samples when you’re really irritated by fragrance or skin care products created
for acne prone skin when you’re dry and sensitive or visa-versa. My biggest
issue with subscription boxes is getting products I’ll never use because
they’re not suited for me so I’m impressed with the fact that Goodbeing has
engineered a way to match people with products that can work for them.
I’ll be talking about Goodeing quite a bit on Beautiful
Basics in 2016 and I’m so excited to share my thoughts with you on future boxes
but today we are talking about the December box.
So, what did I find inside of my December Goodbeing Box?
Gia Minerals Mineral Blush in Splendid Rose (3 grams -
Value: $18)
Juice Beauty Green Apple Age Defying Hand Cream (Full Size –
Value: $12)
Diana Ralys Specialty Blend Oil (Full Size, 1 oz – Value
$53)
Board and Batten My Softer Side Sugar Scrub with Fig &
Turmeric (Value: 18)
Graydon Clinical Luxury Superfood Mask + Scrub (5 capsules –
Value: $10)
Overall, I’m really happy with the contents of this box. My
absolute favorite discovery is the Gia Minerals Blush, which is such a
beautiful shade! I’m a big time blush lover so finding cheek products in a
subscription box will always be a win for me. The Hand Cream is also really
awesome and the Sugar Scrub with Fig & Turmeric is great as well.
The only thing I really wish I wouldn’t have received is the
Superfood Mask + Scrub. If you follow me on Facebook you’ll know why. This mask
and I do not get along, which is a bummer because I’ve heard such good things
from other bloggers about it. It will be going into the giveaway pile for the
next beauty bag giveaway. Maybe one of you will have better luck with it than I
did.
If you're interested in signing up for a subscription you can use this link and you'll get a bonus item in your first box!

Talk About Cosmetics - Kari Gran Jolene and Shimmer Lip Whip Duo
Kari Gran recently teamed up with
Jolene Hart, former beauty editor turned health coach and Author of Eat Pretty, to create a gorgeous new limited
edition Lip Whip aptly named after the green wellness warrior herself.
Jolene is a powerhouse of pigment
that can be worn boldly or sheered out for a softer pop of pink. It’s a
beautiful bright fuchsia shade that makes a lovely statement with any makeup
look. I wasn’t initially sure how good this bright pink shade would look on me
but after some experimentation I believe that this Lip Whip would look great on
any skin tone.
You can purchase Jolene (for $20)
alone or pick it up as part of a duo (for $31.50) paired with Shimmer, a
gorgeous frosty champagne shade that can go over the top of any color to add a
little extra sparkle and shine.
As with all Kari Gran products
these two beauties are made with healthy, organic ingredients and housed in
gorgeous glass pots. This pair would make the perfect gift for any green and
glamorous gal you know. Kari Gran also has several other Lip Whips you can check out by clicking here. To learn more about the company and their product offerings you can visit their website by clicking here. You can also find the company on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.

Talk About Skin Care - Buff Her House of Exfoliation Exfoliating Food Facial Scrubs
If you believe that food
ingredients make the best skin care products you are going to seriously love
Buff Her House of Exfoliation and their line of Exfoliating Food Powders! These chemical free and
cruelty free formulas are made using only pure and organic ingredients and are
suitable for everyone regardless of age or skin type. They are also super easy
to add in to your routine because you can mix the powders with water to create
a paste or to your favorite cleanser or oil. They are versatile and fun to use!
Each bottle of Exfoliating Food
Powder is made with a base of rice and other ingredients are added with
different skin loving benefits. Their menu is made up of Apple Granola, Oatmeal Blueberry
Cookie, Banana Bread Pudding, Sweet Potato Pie, Strawberry Parfait, Vanilla Bean
Latte, Rice & Beans, and Milk & Honey. In addition to their regular
line up they have an option where you can create your own blend as well as a
blend for men called Hey Poppy. If you're looking for something that foams they
also have Strawberry Lemon and Vanilla Almond Foaming Food Facial Scrubs.
I
selected Sweet Potato Pie and Banana Bread Pudding to test out and I really
like both. I was sent mini bottles and they might be small but you can get 50+
uses out of them, which is awesome. They have two Buff Her Mini Kits that I
think would make perfect gifts or stocking stuffers.
Sweet Potato Pie’s ingredients list is made up of Rice Powder, Organic Sweet Potato, Whole Dry(Milk Powder, and Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate. This particular formula contains Beta Carotene, thanks to the Sweet Potato, which is great for blemishes and blackheads and also has a brightening and soothing effect thanks to the milk.
The
Banana Bread Pudding formula is made of Rice
Powder, Whole Dry Milk Powder, Organic Banana Fruit, and Organic Colloidal Oat
Flour. This bottle is packed full of ingredients that are great for dry skin
because bananas have potassium and Vitamin A while oatmeal is cleansing and
moisturizing.
Neither formula has much of a
scent. They are both extremely gentle and add something extra to your regular
cleansing routine. I love the bottles and the simple ingredients inside. To
learn more about the company and their other products you can visit their
website by clicking here. You can also find Buff Her on Facebook, Twitter, and
Instagram.

Talk About Cosmetics - Biba Lips
If you’re looking for a fantastic gift for a green beauty
who also happens to be extremely glamorous look no further than Biba Lips and
their beautiful Lip Crèmes.
Each luxurious Lip Crème comes housed in a beautiful and
eco-friendly gold compact and also comes with a lip brush and pouch. There are
three lovely colors to choose from each hand-crafted and made with 100% natural
food-grade ingredients. They are also cruelty free and made in the US.
The packaging is absolutely stunning and feels vintage and
special. The Lip Crème inside the beautiful gold metal compact is also
something special. The smell is incredible (think rich butterscotch and
vanilla) as is the taste and the color is really nice. I received Clarity Nude
and even though I am more of a pink or coral kind of girl I was pleasantly
surprised to find that this shade actually suits me so much more than I ever
thought it would. My Mom and I were calling it a “My Lips but Better and more
Brown” shade. It’s not too nude or too brown and looks natural. It’s not too
pale, either. It’s the type of shade that makes lips look supple and a lot
bigger.
They also have two other shades, a pink called Inspire Pink
and a red called Elegant Red. Even though the company only offers 3 shades I am
confident in saying that everyone can find one that they fall in love with
because the color is sheer but buildable and the formula is silky, smooth and
totally dreamy. It’s moisturizing and provides long lasting hydration and
doesn’t look super shiny, which I really appreciate.
This product is truly a show stopper and if you want to
learn more about the company you can visit their website by clicking here. You
can also find Biba Lips on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.

Talk About Cosmetics - Kari Gran
I am completely in love with Kari
Gran and from the comments and messages I’ve received from you Beauties asking
for my thoughts on their line you’re also really interested in the brand! I
don’t think it would be an overstatement for me to say that Kari Gran is one of
my absolute favorite green beauty brands and I’m so excited to be able to share
my review of their cosmetics line with you today.
If you’re new to Beautiful Basics or you want a refresher
about Kari Gran all you need to know is that this company is comprised of
simple but luxurious cruelty free skin care and cosmetics that are made from
natural, wild harvested and non-GMO ingredients that are good for the body and
the world. You'll never find any toxic ingredients inside any Kari Gran products.
You won't find water either, only natural plant ingredients and essential oils.
The line is designed to be gentle and safe for all ages and skin types.
Let’s talk about the products in
the order that I apply them starting with the Foundation that you can either
use as a powder foundation or as a customizable liquid foundation. By mixing
the Essential
Serum with as much or as little as you desire of the powder foundation, which
comes in 8 different shades, you can create the perfect base for your needs.
The combination is a tinted, smoothing, hydrating base that evens out your skin
tone while feeding the largest organ in your body essential nutrients. I typically
don’t love wearing foundation, choosing to instead use concealer where needed,
but this mixture feels lovely on the skin and wears evenly throughout the day.
Kari Gran’s Concealer is one of my absolute favorite
products. I mentioned it briefly in my Concealer Menu post but wanted to go in
to more detail in this review. I have the color Fair and it’s the perfect shade
for me and the formula is divine! The coverage is impressively opaque but still
lends a natural and luminous glow to the skin. Both the Mineral Concealer and
Foundation have shimmer in them but neither gives the skin that teenaged disco
ball look. Instead they go on to the skin and make it look effortless, healthy,
and flawless. A little of this concealer goes a long way. I especially love to
use it under my eyes and down the center of my face because it does a beautiful
job of brightening my complexion.
Next up is the Mineral Setting Powder. This powder has a very
short list of ingredients (Mica and Aloe Barbadensis Powder) and is feels absolutely
heavenly on the skin. It’s like really silky air that feels so soft going on
and keeps my base in place all day long. It sets the skin without building up
and looking cakey or heavy. This is the best setting powder I have ever tried
and that means a lot coming from someone with dry skin who tends to skip the
setting powder step.
The Peony Mineral Blush is universally flattering and can be
applied sheer or built up for more intensity. I have found that you can do no
wrong when applying this blush because it always looks fresh and natural. The
color is so stunning and absolutely beautiful on the cheeks for a pop of pink
that I can’t get enough of. I’ve been reaching for it nonstop since it arrived.
It’s a great “in from the cold” color but I think it will be a nice cheek
topper for all 4 seasons.
I forgot to mention that the Foundation, Blush and Setting
Powder each come in a huge 4.5 gram jar so you’re getting a ton of product for
your money! The Concealer comes in a
1.4 gram jar and the Eye Shadow is housed in a .85 gram jar. Each product is
also very affordable.
The company describes their single Eye Shadow as
Sandalwood, a perfect brown for everyone that can be applied sheer or opaque.
You can use this shadow wet or dry depending on the look that you’re going for.
It’s a beautiful color that makes my blue eyes pop, but it would be great on
anyone. It has a very fine silver shimmer throughout but it never looks over
the top or too heavily sparkly. I’m a matte kind of gal but still find that this
particular eye shadow is very wearable. It blends beautifully and wears evenly
throughout the day. It’s the perfect product for doing a one-shadow look
because it can be applied in so many ways that it’s almost like having more
than one eye shadow.
In the following look I am wearing only Kari Gran Cosmetics with the exception of my brow pencil and mascara, The color on my lips is a thin layer of the Tinted Lip Whip with another thin layer of Jolene Lip Whip on top.
I was originally going to talk about the Lip Whips in this
post but I’m actually going to devote an entire review to the newest Limited
Edition Lip Whip, Jolene, soon. However,
the one in the photo above is the Naked Cinnamon Pimenta Berry and it’s one of
my very favorite lip products… ever! We’ll talk about them more soon, though.
To learn more about Kari Gran and her lovely line up of
products you can visit the website by clicking here. You can also find Kari
Gran on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
Leave a comment and let me know if you have tried any Kari Gran products or if
you have your eye on any of them. Don’t forget to check back soon for my Lip
Whip Overview. See you then!

Talk About Cosmetics - Concealer Menu
If you read my last post, Looking Your Best While Ill, you know that I depend on
concealer when I want to look bright-eyed, healthy, and awake, so today I want
to share my favorites with you.
Most days I actually prefer using
concealer on any areas that need evening out instead of using a foundation. For
this I like to use the Transcendent Concentrated Correcting Concealer by
Pacifica. I like to apply this in stripes down the nose, a few on each cheek,
and a bit on my forehead and chin and then blend outwards. It provides a
beautiful coverage, blends out like a dream, wears well throughout the day, and
never settles into any fine lines. My skin tends to be a bit dry and this
provides a hydrating coverage that I really love. It feels great on the skin
and looks flawless.
I also have two mineral concealer
powders that I love from Alima Pure, in the color Sand, and Kari Gran, in Fair.
I’m planning on doing a review of the entire range of Kari Gran cosmetics in
the next week or two so I’m going to skip giving you a thorough review in this
post. Just know that I really, really, really love it! I actually prefer Kari
Gran’s concealer but the Alima Pure one is also really nice and the amount of
coverage it provides is incredible. I’ve also found that on days when I need
super duper coverage I can layer one of these powder concealers over my
Pacifica for a look that’s flawless.
The area I feel I need the most
coverage is under my eyes. I have dark circles and heavy baggage so the
majority of my concealers are specifically formulated for the under eye region.
I’m beyond in love with the Dreamlit Illuminating Under Eye Brightener from Pacifica. It comes in 2 shades, Bare
(yellow based) and Dreamlight (pink based), and I really like both. The formula
is silky and buttery and feels more like a high-end treatment for your skin
than an affordably priced cosmetic. They go on smoothly and make my dry skin
looks bright, hydrated, and concealed. I’m a huge fan! I also like the wand
applicator.
I recently picked up the Alba
Botanica Fast Fix for Underye Circles Vanishing Concealer and I’m impressed. I
wasn’t expecting much because I got this for $4.99 and thought it wasn’t going
to be very effective but I was so happy to be proven wrong. It’s a yellow-based
cream that feels unbelievably soft and makes undereyes look effortlessly light
and healthy. It feels so nice and blends seamlessly into my skin. I’m super
impressed and happy with my purchase.
(FTC: I purchased all of these with my own money with the exception of the Kari Gran which was provided to me for free for review consideration. I am not being compensated for this review. All thoughts and opinions, as always, are my own.)

Looking Your Best While Ill
I’m 28 years old and since 2009 I’ve been living with
chronic illness. I’m disabled and unable to live the typical life of a twenty
something, but I don’t let that stop me from living a happy and positive life.
Life is what we make it so it’s really important to keep an open and positive
mind and to embrace every day and every moment. Life is short but life is also
beautiful.
I’m living with invisible illnesses but sometimes I wake up
and you can tell that I’m sick so today I’m going to share my easy tips and
beauty routine on how to make the version of you that doesn’t look or feel 100%
look healthy, awake, and vibrant.
If you’re new to Beautiful Basics, I also want to point out
that I believe in the healing power of natural products. I don’t use any chemicals
on my skin or products that have been tested on animals. I don’t think animals
should have to suffer for our beauty nor do I think that toxic ingredients in
products are the way to go. Green can be glamorous and gorgeous!
Hydration is really important, so before applying any makeup
you need to make sure your skin is moisturized from the inside out. Drinking
enough water and using products meant for your skin type are key. And yes, even
if you have oily skin you still need to moisturize. Using a hydrating primer is
also a good idea but not necessary.
Even out your skin by using your choice of base. I love using
concealer to get everything to look even. I think too often we feel the need to
cover every inch of our skin when we really only need to apply base to certain
places where we have discoloration. I have a lot of redness around my nose,
mouth, and chin so I add product directly to the center of my face and blend
out for a natural look.
The area I feel I need the most coverage, though, is my
under my eyes. I have dark circles (and some major baggage) that make me look
as tired as I often feel. I like to cover only the shadow of the circle, which
helps hide the darkness. If your circles are blue toned go for a pink/peach
shade and if they are more purple a yellow-based concealer will be your best
bet. I also extend the concealer to the inner corners of my eyelids. My
absolute favorites for this are the Pacifica Dreamlit Illuminating Under Eye
Brightener. I use both shades, Bare (yellow) and Dreamlight (pink), depending
on what color my undereyes appear on any particular day. They’re brightening
and moisturizing and I absolutely love them. I also really like the Alba Fast Fix for Undereye Circles.
Next we need to define the skin and add a little color back
in to it. I love adding a bit of bronzer to my face where the sun would
naturally hit. I apply a light dusting to the forehead, cheeks, and a bit on
the nose and chin. I then like to follow up with a pretty pink or coral blush.
The brighter the better when you’re not feeling great. I normally prefer matte
products but a little shimmer cat add a gorgeous luminosity to skin that isn’t
at it’s best. I like to use a dual fiber brush so I don’t apply too much but
still get a pretty flushed look. I've been reaching for Kari Gran's Mineral Blush a lot lately because it provides a perfect pink pop to my cheeks.
Adding highlight is a great way to make skin look luminous and supple.
I apply to the tops of my cheekbones and on to the apple of my cheek, in a c
shape above the brow and down the center of the nose, as well as on my cupids
bow.
Lip color is a simple and effective way of looking
healthier. Find a color that makes your skin tone pop. Mine is coral. When I’m
feeling really sick I like to add a splash of coral to my lips and it makes me
look much more vibrant and awake. Shell Shock Tinted Lip Conditioner by Ilia is
my go to shade. Whichever type of lipstick you decide to go for make sure your
lips are moisturized! Dry lips are a dead giveaway that something is wrong.
Don’t forget to curl your lashes and apply a generous coat
of mascara to make your eyes appear bigger and brighter. I also like to add
some definition to my brows, since they do frame the face. And I take a little
of the same bronzer I used on my face and blend it through my crease.
Makeup isn’t all mighty or important but it can make you
look better than you feel sometimes which in turn can help you feel better on
the inside as well. You can do as little or as much as you feel like doing.
Do you have any beauty tips for when you’re not feeling well, whether you’re chronically ill like me or occasionally catch a cold or the flu?

Planner Giveaway!
I’ve been a big, huge, enormous fan of paper planners for years. I used them in high school, then college, and continued into adulthood. I’ve noticed that lately paper planning has become a trendy thing with YouTube channels devoted to decorating and planning videos. I’m not that obsessed but I do love using my planner as a sort of memory book, writing down important events and things that I want to remember. I also use my planner for blogging purposes, medical appointments and keeping track of symptoms, and my shopping habits.
I usually pick up a new planner every year from Target (anyone else here absolutely love Target? I could spend hours in there just getting lost and looking at everything) and last year I picked up a Sugar Paper Planner that I really, really loved. Recently, however, I won an Erin Condren gift card so I’m currently using one of their LifePlanners. I’m still getting used to it because it’s quite different than my last one, but I am really enjoying it. Check out my cute interchangeable cover in the photo below. Isn’t it the cutest? That’s my favorite picture of Hunter and I’m so excited to have him on my cover.
All you have to do to enter is use the Rafflecopter form below. It may take a moment or two to load. All entries will be verified. Good luck! Open Worldwide.

Talk About Tools - José Eber QuickShine Infrared Blow Dryer
I used the same dryer for over 10 years. It was pink and
perfect and I absolutely loved it. I remember getting it the day before my
family and I went on vacation for spring break in Cabo San Lucas my senior year
in high school. We had to drive an hour and a half away to get to the airport
and we had an early flight so we stayed the night before and did some shopping
at the mall (since we don’t have one in the tiny country town where we live).
We got it at Bed, Bath, and Beyond. It was around $40 and I remember thinking
that was kind of expensive at the time but it lasted so long and was a perfect
hair dryer through college and beyond.
Sadly, it passed away in May and
at the same time I was offered the chance to test out and possibly review the José Eber QuickShine
Infrared Blow Dryer. The timing was ideal and
even though I was sad about the death of my beloved dryer, I was so
excited to try a new one, especially from a hair genius like José Eber. I’m
always trying to incorporate reviews of tools and other beauty related products
to the Beautiful Basics roster.
At $160 this particular model isn’t cheap but it works
beautifully, leaving my hair dry, soft, and surprisingly luminous. It claims to
dry hair at least 50% more quickly than standard dryers and while I haven’t
timed my drying process (ever) I can verify that my hair is dried really
quickly but gently without any damage.
It leaves my strands shiny and smooth.
The unit itself is compact, lightweight, and easy to use. It
fits perfectly in my hand and easy use to hold up and handle. I absolutely love
the size of this dryer. It’s small but packs a full size punch that can compete
with any blow dryer around. It’s also fairly quiet.
Here are some of the advertised features of this blow dryer
from their website:
- Far infrared light infuses gentle, healthy heat into the
core of the cuticle - not the surface of the hair shaft like traditional blow
dryers - providing high shine and smoothness.
- Never feels too hot, the Infrared Blow Dryer emits a
cooler heat as it dries, eliminating burns and hot spots to the hair and scalp.
- Quick drying time by 50%. Even with a cooler heat, the
QuickShine Dryer dries hair in half the time.
- Four variable speed and heat settings allow great control
and adjustment ability for any hair type. Plus, a cool shot button helps set
any style.
- Ultra Lightweight design.
- Built with a lightweight D/C motor.
- 1500 watts

Talk About Lip Care - Henné Organics Luxury Lip Balm
I'm a believer in spoiling yourself and taking good care of your skin with luxurious and healthy products and lip care is no exception. If you've been reading Beautiful Basics for a while you already know how sensitive my lips are but if you're new around here all you need to know is that my lips are incredibly finicky and temperamental, so I have to be extremely careful with what I apply to my pout and lately I've been loving Henné Organics and their Luxury Lip Balm.
Beautifully formulated with a simple list of 99% certified organic ingredients (Coconut Oil, Beeswax, Avocado Oil, Shea Butter, Cocoa Butter, Jojoba Oil, and Vitamin E) this rich and buttery balm is a powerhouse that soothes, hydrates, and protects. This American made and cruelty free product is housed in a beautiful MIRON violet glass jar that looks great sitting on your vanity/desk/night stand and also protects the balm from harmful UV rays that can potentially change the product and helps extends its shelf life. This lip balm is beautiful inside and out.
With a mission to bring the world something high-end but simple this company brings something special to the green beauty market and I think you'll love Henné Organics' luxe lip balm. If you want to learn more about the company or the product you can visit their website by clicking here. You can also connect with Henné Organics on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
