Tata Harper Regenerating Cleanser and the Nourishing Oil Cleanser

Tata Harper-Regenerating Cleanser

     First, I would like to say that I was able to buy a sample of this product.  I enjoyed the soft aroma of apricots and I didn't think the ground apricot seeds were too abrasive as others have expressed in their reviews.  Although I personally do not like to exfoliate daily.
    I bought this product in my quest for a natural cleanser with excellent ingredients and that would remove all the makeup off my face. This product does not do an effective job at removing makeup.   It leaves the skin feeling soft but you need to proceed with a different cleanser if you had makeup on and that defeats the purpose of this cleanser for me.  It is better suited as a second cleanse once you have already removed your makeup to exfoliate your skin. Unfortunately, I don't think this product works for my sensitive acne prone skin.
    The product definitely does not leave the skin stripped of moisture as some cleansers do.  I didn't notice a minimizing appearance of my pores within this month of use, but with time it might. I did find my skin was less dull.
    In my personal opinion the product does not work as an every day morning cleanse because of the apricot seeds. It doesn't work as a nighttime cleanser because it doesn't remove all my makeup. At the price point it is found I think it would be better to find an alternative cleanser that effectively removes makeup.
  If you wear none to a little makeup I think you will enjoy this product.  It smells wonderful and leaves your skin feeling renewed.  I love the ingredients in the product and this is a great company to buy from.


Tata Harper- Nourishing Oil Cleanser

     This is a gentle cleanser that is supposed to cleanse your skin and dissolve makeup.  I think it is a gentle cleanser.  It leaves your skin feeling very soft.  It is full of wonderful ingredients that are beneficial to the skin.  The aroma is very fresh.

     Although I enjoyed this product it did not work towards completely removing my makeup.  It does however remove some.  I always felt the need to go in with another cleanser after using this to completely remove my makeup and therefore felt it defied the purpose of this product.  I wanted the ingredients that were placed to cleanse to penetrate my skin and yet I had to wash them off to fully cleanse my skin.

     I think this product may work best as a morning cleanser.  However I feel divided as to if I would repurchase.  I'm not sure if my pores love this product and with the $64 price tag I think I would enjoy a product that would be multifunctional for me.

Favorite Things

Jane Iredale's Amazing Base Loose Mineral Powder: This mineral foundation has an SPF 20 and provides medium to full coverage.  It leaves a powdery look on your face when applied that can be diminished with the usage of a hydration spray over it.

I use the color Warm Sienna and I can also use Golden Glow which is a tiny bit darker.  In order to get medium to full coverage I like to use a beauty blender with it.  With the Chisel Brush I find the coverage tends to be lighter for me and I like more coverage.  The Amazing Base scores a 3 on Skin Deep.

Jane Iredale's Longest Lash Thickening and Lengthening Mascara: I find that this mascara accomplishes what it claims to do.  It definitely makes my lashes look thicker and longer naturally.  I think it is best to use this with the lash conditioner, but you can also use a more economical mascara that scores low on Skin Deep Database to use as a primer for it.  There is a trick to applying this mascara.  You shouldn't apply it like traditional mascaras.  What I do is squeeze some of the product onto the brush and then proceed to brush it on my lashes.  I will make a video of this soon and show you the difference.  This scores a 1 on Skin Deep.

Jane Iredale Pink Lip Pencil:  This is liner does a great job in lining my lips with different shades of pink lipsticks.  It goes on smooth and blends easily.  This scores a 1 on Skin Deep.

Zuzu Luxe Blush in Sunset:  I love this blush shade.  It reminds me of Jane Iredale's Whisper blush. It has some shimmer that provides a nice glow.  It scores a 2 on Skin Deep.

Ilia Beauty Lipstick in Neon Angel:  It has a beautiful pink shade that has to be built to its vibrancy.  Therefore, if you do not enjoy bright lipsticks you can leave it toned down.  I love vibrant pinks so I build the color up.  The texture and consistency of this lipstick upon first application doesn't easily glide over your lips, instead it clings to your lips.  I'm not sure if this makes sense.  I would recommend applying a  balm before the lipstick to help it apply more smoothly.  Yet, subsequent applications have been very smooth.  It has almost a velvety feel. I love this lipstick.  Once applied it has lasting power and feels moisturizing.  I would like to definitely try more products from this brand.  

Kjaer Weis Blush in Sun Touched

 

  Sun Touched is a coral toned shade. It is recommended for fair to medium-dark skin with olive or golden undertones. As artist Kjaer Weis describes it, "It gives a youthful look as if you have been kissed by the Sun."  I couldn't agree more with this description.

     I love the color of this blush on my medium toned skin with yellow undertones. This blush is easily blendable. I use my fingertips to apply on the apple of my cheeks. It melts with the warmth of my fingers and applies very smooth.  The color lasts on my cheeks and it leaves a wonderful glow.  The packaging is also luxurious and stunning.   Kjaer Weis is part of a refillable system and on your second purchase you can buy the refill and save.

     My skin is very sensitive and I experienced no breakouts from this blush.  Sometimes When you try more natural products you feel like you have to sacrifice that luxury feel or performance of contemporary brands.  With this product you know you are getting the best in both performance and luxury. I highly recommend this product.
