Happy Sunday!
I have to say it’s been a tremendous week – In all aspects – Seriously – Feeling the gratitude – big time.
As MyLipAddiction.com is moving into it’s 6th month of existence: I have to say that one of my favourite parts of Beauty blogging is reaching Out to lovely companies.
If something grips me as being beautiful – I write Them. I don’t wait! I Go with My heart. I guess I always have.
A few months ago I found Pure + Simple on twitter and as many of you lovelies know by now – I love love love Twitter. I followed them immediately as They are Canadian and in Toronto. I am so into skincare and natural products. I started a lovely correspondence with Karen Ma -Marketing Assistant at Pure +Simple.
So Lots is Going on because I received some Gorgeous – I mean GORGEOUS products from them last week and I am Going to visit them on Tuesday at Their Yorkville Location. They have beautiful spa services – not only products and this is why I am so excited to visit. I will be doing a full profile after I visit and meet the president / owner of Pure + Simple: Jean Eng.
I have my questions all ready for her as I am fascinated about how Inspiring women start out! I guess I have always been a journalist at heart. I didn’t go to school for it – (Only creative writing) but I have a very Inquisitive mind.
I will be shooting video, albeit from my iPhone!
I will probably do a virtual tour of their beautiful Location.
So Stay tuned for that post as well.
Now onto the beautiful products!
Karen asked me some questions about what Kind of products I like for my skin.
I read about everything on their website.
I was taken back by all the beauty and just explained that I have sensitive skin that is fair and that I don’t wear a lot of product on my face daily. Sunscreen always, a BB cream or tinted moisturizer usually, but unless I am Going Out- (date nights) or have a photoshoot or something – I stick to a minimal face – Mascara and Lipstick. Always Lipstick!
So – These came in the mail the day after.
Click on the image to get to the Minimalist line because they have many lines!
What I find so amazing is Karen could define my skin’s needs just by a few emails.
I love that!
described as :
“A perfect anti-aging skincare regime for the busy professional. Pure + simple with just 4 fast and easy steps to beautiful skin, naturally. Ideal as anti-aging products for all skin types for men and women.”
All natural and perfect for me – As I am always on the Go!
So Let me tell You about the 5 products I received (so generously)
Minimalist Exfoliating Cleansing Milk 200ML
I have been using this since I got it- not even a week.
Perfect for evening when You want to brush off the dead skin cells so Your skin can renew itself as You sleep. It has Olive seed powder in it! I love this because I just know that I am not exfoliating with anything that is going to harm my skin- again – all natural.
It also has Oat Protein Amino Acid which is a great natural cleansing agent and is soothing to the skin.
Let me Just say That all these beauties smell divine and That is what struck me first! The lovely scent!
Neroli oil, Pumpkin oil and Lemongrass is what I believe creates this incredible melange of gorgeousness. Seriously – I would love this scent as a natural perfume!
Back to this Elixir!
It’s Completely Vegan, is Rich in essential fatty acids has Rose Hip oil & Organic Babassu Oil!
After Exfoliating and cleansing I go straight for this- Twice a day! It sinks right into my skin and leaves it dewy and the scent! Don’t get me started on the scent again!
The Serums/ Elixirs have the most beautiful packaging. Ceramic and stunning- like bringing the spa home.
MINIMALIST FACE LIFT SERUM 50ML
Now I haven’t had all the time in the world to review everything – I will have more insight after I visit their spa on Tuesday.
From their website
“A luxurious serum with high-quality and potent ingredients for lifting and firming.
An anti-aging serum scientifically designed to improve skin health. It is an excellent hydrating serum for men and women with the added benefits of regenerating damaged skin, reducing the appearance of enlarged pores, and reducing inflammation and sensitivity.
Whey Protein is a regenerating protein that aids in lipid barrier repair and helps reduce roughness and enlarged pores for smoother and softer skin. It also calms irritated skin by reducing inflammation, redness, and itching.
Tropical Aquatic Grass Extract and Poria Cocos Extract is an active mixture to reduce inflammation and skin sensitivity.
Vitamin F and Linoleic Acid is designed as an active mixture to heal and soothe skin.
Nut Free.”
This list of Ingredients – Wowy, Beautiful. Nature is so beautiful – I love finding out what is in what and why and How it works!
these are the 3 that I have been using constantly since I received them.
in the middle you will see
This is my top moisturizer for 2015. YES in bold !!!!!!!!
I try many!
Why is it my favourite?
Well , That’s simple – take a look at the ingredients in this
water, Persea Americana (Avocado) Oil*, Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Oleosomes*, Theobroma Grandiorum (Capuacu) Seed Butter, Cetyl Alcohol, Glycerin, [Water (and) Glycerin (and) Citrullus Vulgaris (Watermelon) Fruit Extract (and) Pyrus Malus (Apple) Fruit Extract (and) Lens Esculenta (Lentil) Fruit Extract (and) Sodium PCA (and) Sodium Lactate], Olea Europeae (Olive) Oil*, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil Unsaponiables*, Lonicera Caprifolum (Honeysuckle) Flower Extract, Aqua/Water, Glycerin, Hydrolized Corn Protein, Sclerotium Gum, Citric Acid, Xanthan Gum, Tocopherol, Organic Essential Oils of Neroli, Lemongrass, Pettitgrain, Orange*
*Certified Organic
Nothing to aggravate sensitive skin – Organic all the way and well just a beautiful minimalistic product that is Healthy.
They also Included as You see in the first image on the far right
EXTRA CARE – BOLSTERING BORAGE EYE CREAM 15ML
With Borage Oil, Pine extract and so much more. Completely vegan and nut free.
Right after my new Favourite moisturizer, I apply this gently with my 4th finger and pat into my eye area , around the orbital bone. This is perfect for sensitive skin and sensitive eyes.
I have to say that I am more than amazed at Pure + Simple and their lines of products. They also carry other natural lines such as BLINC, ILIA Beauty and Jurlique to name a few.
Pure + Simple is not only a spa with many skincare experts and treatments, they create beautiful natural products that are organic and they are also an online boutique !
I am so Glad I reached out to Karen Ma and so excited to Visit their Yorkville location on Tuesday!
*I did receive these products gratis but as always These are all my opinions!
Thanks for reading and see You very soon
These products sound fabulous Cat! Loving a bit of skincare recently!

Hi, Cat. A big Congrats on the 6 months, as well. I’ve been looking for skin care that isn’t too harsh on the skin. What’s your opinion on toners and if you are in favor, do you have any recommendations? Have a great day.
