Giveaway Monday: Clairvoyant Beauty products

Let's just pretend it's still Monday because it's been one of those weeks already and it's only Tuesday, er, I mean "Monday"...yeah that's right. Anyway...have I got a great giveaway from Clairvoyant Beauty today to make up for my tardiness!

Clairvoyant Beauty is a skin care products company whose mission is to "...give you the healthiest, most radiant skin possible - naturally & simply." Owner Lexie Masterson (sister to actress Mary Stuart Masterson) learned about natural skin care from her grandmother Josephine who worked with her side by side creating natural products in her kitchen.

Now, I have to say that I'm always a bit hesitant to review products that claim to be natural and those that come packaged in plastic. In fact, I've turned many down over the years. The things that caught my attention about Clairvoyant are 1) their products are made here in the US, 2) they use recycled materials in their packaging (bottles and cardboard), and 3) they use "only Natural and Organic sources for our ingredients so that there are no potentially harmful chemicals or antibiotics present."

With other companies, they slap "natural" on the label and expect it to appeal to eco- and health-conscious consumers. Meanwhile, the products are manufactured in another country, packaged in virgin plastic, wrapped in more plastic, and they use chemicals that I don't really want on my skin.

This is how my package arrived. Recycled box, no plastic packaging...

I've been using the Exfoliating AHA Scrub, Cucumber Facial Toner (love the smell of this), Rosewater Eye Cream and the Simply Roses Cream moisturizer for a few weeks now and love how gentle and hydrating they are. The climate here in Colorado is always pretty dry but as soon as October hits it just seems to suck every last drop of moisture left from my skin. These products have nourished my skin without making it oily or clogging my pores.

The little messages printed backwards on the bottles also make me smile...
