I received these gorgeous cheek and lip duo from Ellana last Christmas from my friend and beauty blogger Liz Lanuzo of ProjectVanity.com (Thanks Liz!). Ellana is becoming one of my favorite minerals makeup brands because they do not clog the pores and they are highly pigmented too just like regular makeup! And they're of high quality too! Not to mention, the lovely top notch paper packaging which I only see with imported brands like The Balm and Benefit.

I love organic or mineral makeup brands who spend on packaging. Packaging that are functional and are sturdy. Just because it's made from all-natural ingredients, doesn't mean your packaging should be inferior. I don't know if I am making sense, but I'm sure you beauty addicts know what I mean about packaging.

Wearing dark and bright lipsticks (specially matte ones) can be a pain when you have dry flaky lips! Thank goodness for lip scrubs! What I love about Ellana's lip scrub is their all-natural ingredients so it's good for mommies-to-be like me!

Thanks to Glamourbox for including this in last month's beauty box, I was introduced to this wonderful product. I usually make my own lip scrub at home (you can find the recipe HERE), but discovering this product, I don't think I'll be makin' any more of my own!

Lip and Cheek tints are the most convenient for gals on the go. It's natural looking and it's easy to apply as well! No told required!

I have heard of Ellana Cosmetics before but this is the first time I am trying any of their products. I am not so much keen on using mineral makeup, but when I do find ones that I really like, I keep using them.
