Kelly Teegarden is a cancer survivor who decided to create her own fabulous chemical free skincare line because she was disturbed by the fact that many of our beauty and personal care products contain cancer causing chemicals and she wanted to make a difference. Kelly formulated her healthy line so that consumers know exactly what they are using on their body. All KTO products are made with certified organic and natural ingredients, no cancer causing ingredients, are scientifically proven to have no hormone disruptors and no toxic levels of ingredients. I adore her gorgeous nourishing Lip Glosses which come in a fabulous array of colors, contain Dragon’s Blood know for it’s ancient healing properties and they have a handy light-up mirror. I also love her Rejuvenate Anti Aging Night Cream/Hydration Masque which plumps up my skin and gives it a beautiful glow before events.
Elizabeth Dehn for One Love Organics
One of my fav beauty bloggers Elizabeth Dehn of Beauty Bets recently collaborated on a fabulous moisturizing skincare line with Suzanne Leroux, the creator of one of my all time fav better for you beauty brands One Love Organics. These two respected beauty mavens put their gorgeous brains and skincare passions together and created the swoon-worthy Elizabeth Dehn for One Love Organics collection which combines highly-concentrated plant oils with super-effective pharmaceutical-grade vitamins and antioxidants for anti-aging benefits, maximum moisture and a major glow.
The line currently consists of two products: Vitamin C Active Moisture Serum which contains a potent mix of vitamins and antioxidants (like green tea and sea buckthorn oil) to brighten and replenish skin creating a more radiant complexion and the emollient waterless Vitamin E Active Moisture Eye Balm which contains a powerful blend of vitamins and antioxidants that restores radiance to the delicate eye area. I love the gorgeous silky serum that rejuvenates my skin and gives it a dewy glow and the eye balm is so different than other products cause it’s really concentrated and gives my dry eye area a fab dose of hydration.

You can wear it to snazz up your makeup look or wear it on your body as part of a temporary tattoo design. This adorbs stamp also comes in a Fame/Star design (which I wore recently to the Lady Gaga concert & everyone went ‘gaga’ over it!) and they are easily removed with makeup remover. It is the perfect accent to your Valentine’s Day makeup look!
