Clean Beauty Reviews and Awards

Clean beauty reviews are so important! How do I know which one to buy? How do I know if they are made the way I want them to be made?  Purpicks is described as the “Trip Advisor” for nontoxic skincare. It is a user-generated reviews platform that is “the portal for unvarnished truths about an unrivaled selection of non-toxic and organic beauty and skin care products.”

This year, I was asked to take part as a judge for the CertClean beauty awards. The 4^th annual clean beauty awards partnered with Purpicks. I was honored to be asked, being I’m not the typical green beauty blogger. I’m just a typical mom trying to eat well, exercise when I can, sleep more, stress less, and use skin care that makes me feel better. All while stumbling and trying again the next day.

CertClean is a certification for safe skincare. The “help shoppers easily discover beauty and personal care products formulated without ingredients that have been recognized to cause harm to human health.”  CertClean is a certification that prioritizes human health over the use of organic and natural ingredients. Their goal is to make safer skincare the new norm.

Clean Beauty Awards

The Certclean and Purpick clean beauty awards are showcasing the best of the bunch by awarding and promoting the best performing clean beauty products.

I was given all of these products to test. I followed a list of qualifications that I rated each product on. My categories were face care and eyeliner. I scored them based on overall performance, ease of use, and recommendation. I gave my honest review and judgment without bias.  After trying and falling in love with some of these brands I became an *affiliate which means if you buy from my links I will be rewarded….and so will you! These products are real winners in my mind!

Clean Beauty Face

The face category ranges from toners to serums, moisturizers, creams, toners, and dry oil. My face is sensitive.  Trying a variety of products, in combination, allowed me to find my favorites.  Only one product had SPF in it which I prefer in my daily moisturizer. I love both toners and find them tighten and balance my face. The biggest difference is in how they absorb. Everyone is so different in their opinions because everyone’s faces are so different.  I find that some days a thinner moisturizer works and other days thick cremes feel better. Time of day, weather, and conditions helped determine my favorites. These were hard to judge and I’d recommend so many!

Clean Beauty Eye

The eyeliners range from liquid to pencil to gel. They are mostly black, which is my favorite with a hunter which was very pretty. Once again, different situations, different use. I used the pencils and gel for work and daytime to evening time and saved the liquid for special nights out and events. I love eyeliner and I love to make up so this category was fun to try…. especially because they are vegan, cruelty-free, recycled, and clean.

My favorite eyeliner was made by Eleve cosmetics*.  This is because the eyeliner is so smooth with a gel tip that is unique and smudges beautifully.  Since loving eyeliner, I now use eye shadow, face make-up, mascara, and lip gloss.  Eleve has great discounts and I fell in love with their sunscreen this summer.

Judging and speaking with Jenise Lee, the mastermind behind all this has made me think a lot more about my beauty products. I look forward to new adventures in clean green beauty.

Know better. Buy Better. Live Better.
