Hi Marie. I agree that the story is jusy as important to a product line, especially in the 'natural' world. I once represented a product line called Herban Cowboy, and buyers loved their story of a guy that was frustated with the lack of a mens health and beauty line, so he created it with his wife out of their home and then loaded up the trunk of their car and hit the road! Several mens line have been spawned since then, but that story was so appreciated! Nice vlog as usual, have a nice weekend 😗

[@riebags]

Yes yes yes. A good story is an opening for connection to a product.

Hi Marie great video . I have had to take a step back from some green beauty products I have found that some ingredients and products were really making my skin worse and irritating it . Have a fantastic week friend !!!!

[@riebags]

Hope you are finding stuff that works! Best to stick with what skin loves!

[@TenderForms]

Loved this skincare bonanza! I second Trish and am going to wait for your review before I watch Toxic Beauty. Kaolin clay is my favorite clay as well! My skin loves it. Another fantastic MMP, Marie!

[@riebags]

Thanks friend! Review is delayed due to audio...after some interesting investigation I think i found the problem..... sigh editing

[@MyLifeWendy]

i wasnt thrilled with the JB tinted moisturizer either... looking forward to Fridays video.. Have a great week my friend xo

[@riebags]

The texture just doesn't work well for hot places imo! Friday video is delayed due to audio!

[@MyLifeWendy]

@@riebags that could be it.. I was using it in SUmmer and we get some vicious Hot temps here... Happy Valentines day my friend xo

I adore the Ayuna Facial in low...and I usually hate exfoliating products/toners. I have fair, sensitive skin and live in a dry climate and my skin just loves this stuff for some reason.

[@riebags]

That is awesome! I think for me I am so used to immediate results of using an exfoliating mask. I think I need to commit to a longer trial. I have to admit tho...the vinegar smell makes it....tough... I can totally see how skin would love it tho.

[@aprilpedersen8929]

@@riebags Haha I've made my peace with vinegar--it's just so good for the skin.

Oh man I feel you on the kbeauty eye gels! I have the Heimish Bulgarian rose one right now and it’s not the same...I still prefer 100% Pure and Acure ones..they hydrate AND depuff/tighten.

[@riebags]

I know right?! Like way to go green beauty for having the best eye gels ever!!

[@TrishV1]

I feel so lucky that we got to hang out amidst your busy week! And it was lovely to meet your adorable baby, he’s so cute! And I’m still dreaming of those perfectly poached eggs and yummy potatoes! We will film a video one of these days 😊 Can’t wait for your review of Toxic Beauty, I will try to watch it before then! 🤓 Oh, and lastly, I too was underwhelmed by the shamgpree eye masks, the 100% Pure ones perform way better!

[@riebags]

I completely agree...for all the claims and price of the shangpree...just not a winner at all

[@ruthieharris312]

Can’t wait for Friday!

[@riebags]

Friday video is delayed due to audio problems. Should be up soon!!

It's interesting that you didn't like the Ayuna exfoliators... I was considering buying it even though is too pricey but I'm in need of some enzyme based exfoliation... I love Honua so I'm using the cleanser and water as mask. Thinking of getting the balm :) hope your week is amazing.

[@riebags]

The balm is very lovely. It is a dense product so if you are looking for something occlusive and restorative for night time then it is a great pick. If you like a simple routine then it fits right into that. For people who love to layer multiple products..I think it may feel heavy

[@janiceduerr620]

I am really liking the Honua products and have repurchased some products several times since being introduced to them. Also enjoying Josh Rosebrook products again. Decided to try Peach & Lilly products and got the balm. Wow - talk about not wanting to move - it is the heaviest balm I have ever tried. Think I will keep it for my feet, knees and elbows.

[@riebags]

The Honua balm?

[@FreeRangeDiva]

Wow that sheet mask really brought the circulation to your skin. Did it sting at all? My face has been uber sensitive lately and I'm desperately looking for a lightweight day cream w/ no actives. So I rewatched your moisturizer video because I have a sample of the Osmia Day Cream and their charcoal soap (Love!) and wanted your thoughts. The lavender in it might be a little too much for my skin, but it's a nice consistency. I've been using Osmia's Rose Nectar drops during the day, but I would really like to find something that would give me more hydration... any recs?

[@riebags]

For as plain as it gets with no Eos or actives that is in an affordable price range...I like the Weleda Almond soothing face cream. Check your instagram. I have an extra tube of it that I can send you!!

[@FreeRangeDiva]

@@riebags I saw this yesterday in Whole Foods, but didn't do a patch test because my skin has been so reactive I was afraid to try it. I'll tell you more on IG, but it's not going to work :-(

[@alexandriajones8198]

Oh, also, wondering if you find the balm to have a glow finish on the skin since it's not quick to sink in?

[@riebags]

It does have a semi glow but dries to a more matted finish in my opinion sue to some of the more occlusive agents
