On the Testing Block: July 2009

So many things to try, so little time. I got home last night with a fuller-than-planned bag of what I guess you would call 'goodies'. All are on the testing block for the next few weeks - let's see what happens.

July 2009 Testing Roster:

Kiehls Marvelous Mineral Mascara






Ok, I am far from the first person to blog about this product, but hopefully I'm not the last. I've read about this so far in Allure and InStyle magazines, but there are several more blogs and websites that have articles/mentions of it. First day of testing is today - I'm giving it 2 weeks until I form my official opinion. Check back for it.







Aveda Smooth Infusion Shampoo and Conditioner



Explanation here: Last week, we watched Leonardo DiCaprio's documentary titled "The 11th Hour," about the global climate crisis, primarily. First of all, it was scary. Second, it did give me some things to look up and check out. I learned about the whole Cradle2Cradle movement and did some research on companies that are C2C certified. Aveda is not completely certified as a company, but these 2 products are 25% of the offerings they have that are - and they are the only beauty company to offer C2C products at all. Also, in addition to working on C2C, the company overall is extremely committed to green practices and the like, which I guess I needed a reminder of. I'm probably going to be checking in with them a little more often for a while and see if I can't get back on the Aveda train and get my green beauty on.

DDF Glycolic 10% Toner






A colleague of mine recommended the DDF brand and on a separate occasion recommended using a Glycolic Toner, so I figured I'd combine and test the two in one product. I'm not sure what the ideal result is supposed to be, but I guess we'll find out, won't we?
