Happy Friday! I’m getting a late start after a night out with the girls. We went to see Fresh, a mind-blowing, devastating, uplifting movie that’s a must-see for anyone who eats. Get a group together an host a screening at your house—I promise you will never look at food the same way. Which is actually the perfect introduction to today’s gorgeous giveaway from Jurlique. If you’re unfamiliar with the line, prepare yourselves. These delicate, intensely soothing products are the stuff that makes me question the value of every putting anything unnatural on my face or body. The pure, plant-base ingredients—calendula, rose, jasmine— are fresh from a biodynamic farm in Southern Australia. The formulas are pure and potent, yet supremely gentle. It’s everything I want in my skincare, plus irresistibly simple packaging! Some of my favorites include the replenishing Lavendar Hydrating Mist (perfect for refreshing makeup mid-day); and the new Fruit Enzyme Exfoliator, a natural alpha-hydroxy acid mask that smoothes, tightens, and yields the most glowing complexion without an ounce of chemicals—I have to show restraint around the stuff or I’d use it every day.
Get in on this giveaway by leaving a comment about the beauty brand that makes you swoon. I’m thinking about making this a regular feature—thoughts?
Update: Congratulations to Adrian, Aileen, and Shannon, the winners of this giveaway!

I love Aveda products.
I really can’t get enough of Philosophy. The Purity face cleanser if my favorite.
oooh, I love this stuff – I’ve gotten it a few times as the mini samples from Sephora.
Individual brand that make me swoon? Probably Origins – all of their stuff smells so delicious! But the overall effect of walking into a Sephora store and just wandering through the aisles, and being assaulted by the color palettes and the swirling scents from the fragrance wall. It’s enough to knock a girl to her knees!
Ooooh, Jurlique is lovely stuff. The beauty brand that makes me swoon in Intelligent Nutrients. I got the entire skin care set on sale this winter and after one use, my skin felt moisturized, bright & happy. If I could bathe in the anti-aging serum, truly, I would. Thanks for the heads-up on Fresh–I should look into seeing it while it’s playing around town.
Korres is amazing, product-wise, but beneFit’s packaging is what really makes me swoon. It’s like they designed everything just for me!
OPI nail polish. I love the colors SO much. I don’t let myself buy them because I wouldn’t be able to stop – I just use them when I get my nails done.
I have always wondered about Jurlique and how great the products work! You definitely should make this a regular feature. I just enjoy checking in to see what it is every week! SkinCeuticals Hydrating B5 Gel brings my skin back to its hydrated state, which I always appreciate.
I am most in love with Keys lotion. Every time I put it on it makes me smile – the light citrus scent simply smells like happiness. Having smooth and moisturized skin (no clogged pores!) seems like just a fantastic side benefit. The face lotion, body lotion, and eye butter are all products that I would actually buy again, which, for a serial brand-changer, is saying something!
Philosophy….maybe because it is the first investment I’ve made into skin care (at the ripe old age of 41) but the make-up optional kit is a great fit for me….and has given me a taste for nicer products.
My favorite brand is Olay. Have never tried Jurlique, but would like to. This would be a great regular feature to add! Thanks for the chance!
my fav right now is skinceuticals C E Ferulic. my skin is just so smooth and bright with it! plus i’m addicted to the triple oxygen facial at the bliss spa in soho. (the bliss triple oxygen mask is good in a pinch too.)
I looooove Caudelie. I could eat it, it smells that good. I know better than eating body cleanser, so I put it on my kids and gobble them up in fresh, bright smelling kisses!
Karen, I could not agree with you more! The CE Ferulic is face-changing, and the Triple Oxygen mask is one of the best I’ve used! Now if only I could get the Bliss spa . . .
Aileen, that is a serious testimony! I recommend Keys’ SPF 30 to anyone who wants a natural sunscreen. Now I am going to have to try the eye butter.
I love Keys Eye Butter. There’s nothing like it!! I’m giving it to all my friends for Christmas.
I have always found Clarins to be intriguing-a bit intimidating with all the information on the individual item bottles/tubes but always very high in quality and a definite ‘pampering’ feeling. I second the Caudelie mention and I just started using Keys Eye Butter and so far love it! This topic would be a great regular feature!
I am a big fan of Philosophy and Korres but am still searching for that perfect line, I would love to try this. It is too bad that I have a whole list of what didn’t work!
I love Naked Bee body lotions. My first grader (and her friends) tell me I smell like Sweet Tarts when I wear it. Makes me feel good from the inside out!
To be honest, I’ve really never found anything that makes me swoon. I think I’m missing out. I should take the advice of many who have had good experiences with these products. I’d LOVE to try Jurlique!
My favorite products are Daisy Blue Naturals. I specifically like the Vitamin E body oil, and Almond body butter, which smells like christmas cookies, they keep my skin so soft and hydrated.
Skinceuticals is pretty amazing.
Have had great luck with Aveda make-up. Hoping to learn about other alternatives from your website. A weekly feature is a lovely idea. ;D
I love burts bees products for me and my girls. This Jurlique sounds amazing as well though, thanks for the chance!
I love Aveda and Philosophy products
I absolutely love burts bees! I have never tried Jurlique but I would love to!
Aveda, Bumble & Bumble, MAC, Benefit, Lush, Mario Badescu….
I don’t really have a beauty brand that makes me swoon, but I do have a soft spot for UD eyeshadows.
Some of my favorites are Pureology, Skinceuticals, Bare Minerals and Fresh.
My favorite product line is Healing Scents because it has a “0″ hazard score for 156 products from the Skin Deep Cosmetics Safety Database. Have you ever gone to this website which analyzes products for toxicity, giving a score from 0-9? 0 is best. You should try it – for example the Weleda Face Balm has a score of 5! Also no Aveda product has a score under 3!
Sue, that is a great website – though scary at times to discover what’s in some of the products I love! Here’s the link: http://www.cosmeticsdatabase.com/
Some of my favs are Fresh, Aveda and Benefit. So glad I found your site. Thanks for the reserach.
Thanks Shannon! I’m glad you did, too! Fresh is such an amazing, spa-like experience, isn’t it?
Jannie, what is it about Clarins that’s so daunting? I think it’s the French thing. Sometimes I don’t feel fancy enough to use it.
