A question came up recently from one of my readers on what beauty products I use on a daily basis and what\u2019s in my make-up bag all related to me being a minimalist.<\/p>\n

Well when it comes to the products I am using I keep it very simple. Usually I do not change my beauty routine too much. First of all I am very lucky with the type of skin I have. (Thanks genes!) Even when I was pregnant with my son I did not have any problematic, hormonal skin or outbreaks. This was I believe mostly due to the fact that I am not using too many products and the way I am eating because this is where it all starts. \u00a0So here I share what I am using more or less on a daily basis:<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s start with what is currently in my makeup bag if you can even call it as such. It is an old small grey leather bag that I found in one of my mom\u2019s drawers years ago. I do not use too many makeup products at all because I am just not a big fan of it. So my routine in the morning to put makeup on takes about five minutes and is just very simple.<\/p>\n

The products I have are mostly organic. For my hair I use\u00a0Khadi Products<\/a>.<\/strong>\u00a0I have been loving these for a while. My hair is very important to me and I have written an entire post on my hair routine. Find it here<\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The trick is to apply the shampoo on DRY hair and only on the scalp and just a tiny bit. Not that much in the length. Then rinse after five minutes. Done! I wash my hair once a week and it is growing super fast this way. \ud83d\ude00 As far as washing the rest of my body I am using this soap<\/a>:<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have been trying many soaps before. I even made my own at some point; however, none of them gave me a softer, creamer feeling on my skin than this one.<\/p>\n

As far as makeup goes I have been using Dr. Hauschka products. This<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0one for mascara and for an under eye concealer this<\/a> <\/strong>one.\u00a0\u00a0These are the only non-organic products I am using. They are a little pricey but they last quite a while. I also tested many drugstore mascaras before and they made my eyes tear up all the time and did not stick to my lashes so I looked like a raccoon after a while. Fail!<\/p>\n

For my lips I am in love with this<\/a><\/strong> Lush product:<\/p>\n

.\u00a0<\/span>\"photo-85\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is it basically believe it or not. I am making my own skin and body cream and will be sharing the recipe on this blog soon. This cream I am also using on my son if needed. \u00a0It is all \u201cback to nature\u201d with me. \ud83d\ude42 I want to put as little chemistry on my body as possible. I am open to try new organic products however.<\/p>\n

My signature scent is COCO Mademoiselle by CHANEL. I have been using this perfume forever. Recently, I have been stumbling across Barr-Co.<\/a> <\/strong>products and I am in love.<\/p>\n

Here are my recent purchases:<\/p>\n

\"barrco\"<\/a>\"B-BARR-CREAM-2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The smell is just very soft and powdery. I would also describe it as a fresh and clean smell. My husband likes it! \ud83d\ude42 According to the labels on the products the smell is a blend of \u201cmilk, oatmeal, vanilla and vetiver\u201d. I have been using the perfume every single day. In Canada I purchased the hand cream and am in love as well. It is just not sticky or greasy and lasts for a long time.<\/p>\n

So there you have it. Nice and simple. As I try to keep everything in my life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
