Lafe’s Award Winning Natural BodyCare Massive #Giveaway

I was thrilled when Lafe's Natural BodyCare reached out to me to test out some of their products and also share a great big giveaway with you guys!

Lafe's is a family-owned, personal care company that believes in conscious living for a balanced & fulfilling life. They believe that what you put into your body is just as important as what you put on your body and I couldn't agree more. Their award-winning products are all-natural, non-toxic, and cruelty-free! They are also an eco-friendly brand that gives back to the community through their 1% Project. They donate 1% of the profit from every sale to support breast cancer prevention and environmental awareness!

Lafe's products are not only effective and natural, but they are affordable, too! Lafe's natural and organic personal care products do not contain, and will never contain toxic ingredients. They are also a cruelty-free brand and are Leaping Bunny Certified! 🐰

We have spent the last few weeks testing out many of their products and they get two thumbs up from this household! We haven't found a dud in the bunch.

LAFE’S NATURAL HANDCRAFTED SOOTHE BAR SOAP- $5.49

This all-natural and vegan soap is made with plant-based oils and is free of harmful chemicals. I'm partial to the lavender as I find the scent so soothing and relaxing and it's not overpowering at all. It just gives me and my shower a soft beautiful lavender scent and gives me that spa feeling. My partner loves the Tea Tree for its fresh scent and antibacterial properties. These bars do a great job at cleansing while hydrating at the same time. 

LAFE’S ORGANIC & NATURAL NON-NANO TINTED LIP BALMS-  $3.49-$4.99

Lafe has both USDA-certified organic lip balms as well as 100% natural non-nano mineral-tinted lip balms (my favourite!). These products are made with organic botanicals and oils and they are super hydrating. I'm more of a tinted lip balm kind of gal over lipstick for everyday use. These are hydrating and add just a hint of colour and shimmer to the lips. The tinted balms are available in 3 shades and add just a hint of colour. They are perfect for everyday wear, are super-hydrating, and add a nice sheen to lips making them look hydrated and plump.

LAFE'S NATURAL DEODORANTS- $4.49-$7.99

Lafe's award-winning deodorants come in a large variety of scents and styles. Whether you like a stick formula, spray, or roll-on, Lafe's has you covered. My favourite is the Soothe with Lavender and Aloe in the stick formula, the scent is so fabulous I could just breathe it in all day! I found that the roll-on and spray worked just as well, and the spray formula doesn't sting my skin after shaving like some other deodorant sprays that I've tried. This has become my favourite natural deodorant as they truly keep odour at bay! My hubby's favourite is the Extra Strength Stick formula but he also keeps the spray version at work for a quick refresh. I had the pleasure of being the one to do the sniff test on him after he finished a full day of work after using these products and I was surprised that I could barely detect any stink whatsoever! 😃

All of the deodorants come in a number of fabulous scents as well as unscented versions, so there is something for everyone. They are also sold in multi-packs for extra savings.

Stick formula Features:

• 24-hour protection
• 2.5 oz, perfect deodorant for traveling

New! Live Clean Foaming Body Washes

I'm super pumped about @livecleancan 's NEW Foaming Body Washes! 🙌
.
Exotic body butters in this new line create luxuriously rich foaming body washes that will make you feel like you've just stepped into a spa in your own bathroom! 🛀 They are super hydrating, deliciously scented and clean like a dream! They leave my skin soft, hydrated, and they rinse clean, so there's no residue. Unlike foaming products that use SLS and harsh, toxic cleansing agents, these foaming cleansers are not drying because they don't contain any of those harsh chemicals. Instead, they are loaded with natural and hydrating ingredients that leave you anything but dry!

With these cleansers, Live Clean developed a rich, creamy, unique and luxurious foam that rinses easily and requires less water to do so, which makes them even more eco-friendly!

Each Live Clean's 98% plant-derived, SLS and paraben free formulas harnesses the specific, skin-enhancing attributes of some of the world’s richest butters. Shea & Murumuru Butter provides deep moisture, Mango & Aloe Butter soothes sensitive skin and Moringa & Matcha Butter provides the benefits of antioxidants. Live Clean Foaming Body Washes combine the perfect ingredients for exceptional, targeted results and a whole new level of bath and shower experience.

All Natural Ingredients Combine to Create The 3 Fab Formulas:
🌰 Moringa & Matcha Butter (antioxidant)
🌰 Mango & Aloe Butter (sensitive)
🌰 Shea & Murumuru Butter (deep moisture- my favourite!)

Live Clean Moringa & Matcha Butter Antioxidant Foaming Body Wash Moringa and Matcha Butters plus antioxidant-rich Vitamin C energize the skin and renew its natural glow. Moringa Butter is made from a wonderfully luxurious oil from the seeds of the Moringa Oliefera tree native to the Himalayas. With anti-oxidant and rejuvenating properties. Matcha Butter, made from Japanese Matcha Green Tea leaves, has powerful moisturizing properties.
450 mL. Suggested retail: $7.99

Live Clean Mango & Aloe Butter Sensitive Foaming Body Wash Mango and Aloe Butters in a mild unscented formula with calming Oat Kernel Oil for sensitive skin. Mango Butter is a rich, soothing moisturizer. Its Vitamin C brightens and rejuvenates. Aloe Butter quickly hydrates and moisturizes.
450 mL. Suggested retail: $7.99

Live Clean Shea & Murumuru Butter Deep Moisture Foaming Body Wash Shea and Murumuru Butters enriched with moisturizing Hyaluronic Acid to deliver gentle cleansing and long-lasting hydration. This one is my personal favourite, it smells like argan oil! Shea Butter is highly concentrated with fatty acids and vitamins for deep moisture. Murumuru Butter’s fatty acids help restore elasticity to damaged and aging skin.
450 mL. Suggested retail: $7.99

Live Clean Holiday Hand Soaps Including the New Gingerbread Latte!

 

Live Clean is back with their Holiday Hand Soaps and better than ever! This time they've added a delicious new scent, Gingerbread Latte! I think this is the perfect addition to the lineup which already includes Holly Berry and Vanilla Peppermint.

My personal favourite has always been the lightly sweet scent of Holly Berry, now it's a tossup between my old fav and the new Gingerbread Latte. The Gingerbread Latte is also lightly scented with a hint of sweetness plus the yummy scent of ginger- it really does smell like a Ginger Latte! So perfect to get you into that holiday spirit.

The packaging is so festive and adds a holiday feel to any room in your home. Each bottle is a generous 500 ML and has a pump which I always appreciate.

Like all Live Clean products, these are clean, natural, non-toxic, and eco-friendly, all at an affordable drugstore price. SRP $4.99-$5.99 CAD.

Vanilla Peppermint

Enriched with vitamins B and E, these soaps hydrate and restore moisture while gently cleansing your skin.

Gingerbread Latte

Plant-derived, and free of SLS/Sulfates, Petroleum, DEA, Parabens, Silicone, Phthalates, and Phosphates!

Holly Berry

Knowing that I can purchase all natural, eco-friendly, cruelty-free, and dermatologist tested products like these from Live Clean at such affordable prices, I would never even consider some of the alternatives that I've seen on the market that use artificial fragrances and toxic chemicals! Live Clean rocks and I still don't know how they make these amazing products at such great price points! But, I'm not complaining.

Please enjoy these Holiday Hand Soaps and in the words of Live Clean, this holiday wish: "Live Simple, Live Beautiful, Live Clean."

Holiday Moisturizing Liquid Hand Soaps in: 

Gingerbread Latte, Vanilla Peppermint, and Holly Berry

Pure + Simple and Holistic Vanity #earthday Celebration Specials!

I have been shopping at Pure and Simple Spa's for a few years now. For the last two years, I have participated in their amazing Earth Day celebration and I already can't wait until next year!

All you have to do is bring in some empty skincare products from any brand for recycling and they will give you 50% off of their products (Maximum 3 products per person.) Included in this sale is the Pure + Simple line, Holistic Vanity as well as their Minimalist line. They have 3 spas in Toronto and  1 in Waterloo. If you live out of town they even offer a mail-in program to participate. 

I stocked up on 2 of my favourite skin serums: 100 ml Algae Serum

And I traded in my empty Holistic Vanity Argan oil to try their Camellia Oil: 100 ml Camellia oil

I even received a free sample size of their all-natural deodorant. 

Remember, you will get 50% off on Earth Day, April 22nd. If you miss this sale they always have monthly sales on different products, usually 15%-20% off.

I'm excited to try the Camellia oil. It's not only for Rosacea! It's supposed to be very calming to the skin and it has great reviews on their website. After a quick "google" search, I see that Camellia oil has numerous skin benefits and it's non-comedogenic (won't clog pores or cause acne.)

If you're in the Toronto or Waterloo area and want to participate, they are open until 9pm tonight (Waterloo is open until 7 pm.) Or you could call their head office and ask about the mail-in program.
