Vapour Organic Beauty Review
If there is only one product you buy for yourself this fall, it has got to be Vapour Organic Beauty’s Stratus Skin Perfector. Trust me on this one. It is a magic wand.
Stratus is a breakthrough Vapour product that dramatically raises the bar for cosmetic performance and purity. This one product is the essential first step in any regimen. Stratus immediately brightens the complexion, evens skin tone and diminishes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Look brighter and younger as light is reflected in the most flattering manner to provide an instant cosmetic youth boost. Use underneath Atmosphere foundation for a flawless finish.

- Skin tone is evened and appears smooth, firm and refreshed
Contains a Certified Organic complex of pumpkin and papaya
- Provides deep moisturizing
- Provides powerful anti-oxidant protection
Contains Lysine
- Essential skin nourishing amino acid
- Creates elegant velvety feeling
I have been using this A LOT. Even when I normally wouldn’t wear makeup… aka working on the blog here, in my pj’s. But this makes my skin look so radiant, I can’t help myself! I also use it as a highlighter, cheeks, eye bone. A real magic wand.
I can thank Carley’s Smooth and Clear for helping me like this too. My skin is so clear, I don’t need coverage as much as I need help evening my skin tone. Magic Wand. So easy to use, just swipe and smooth in.
Their whole collection is the answer for thirsty winter skin. The Atmosphere Foundation is created with Sunflower Seed Oil and Castor oil, complete moisture. Yet non-clogging, and acts as an eraser on lines, wrinkles, sunspots and scars. A richly pigmented, hydrating mineral make-up? yes ma’am, our prayers were answered.
What I have noticed is that the pigment actually stays where I put, and doesn’t disappear after a couple of hours. I have not always had that luck with “stick” make-ups.
Vapour Organic Beauty has each ingredients listed on each product page. The whole line is 70% Organic, but 100% natural.
Unique stick application
- Apply to skin straight from stick; blends beautifully into the skin with fingertips or a sponge
- Portable and elegant
Because it is created with so many nourishing ingredients, make sure you moisturize very lightly. Or better yet, only in the dry spots. Like the nose. If not it might be too much moisture. I would not be able to wear the foundation in the summer, I am a little too oily, but I will be using the Aura Multi-Use Blush, and the Stratus Skin Perfector.
The Blush comes in 3 flattering shades. If you need more, add more. If you used to much, just smooth it in!
From left to right, Crush, Spark and Torch
I have the color Torch. It might look a little intimidating, but I love to just look naturally flushed, and this is the color for me! It also makes a fantastic lip color. I have a lot of color naturally in my lips, so I like to wear colors that look more like a stain, subtle. This blends with my lip color, and creates just the right amount of attraction to my lips.
Vapour Organic Beauty also carries Illusionist Concealer, Trick Stick and Mesmerize Eye Colors. Plus Elixir Lip Gloss and Siren Lipstick. I have been using their Enigma (plum) Lip Gloss. Extremely hydrating, and just a smidge of color. Roboust shine for days!

100% Pure Review and Giveaway
**This post is going to be long, so if you want to learn more about 100% Pure please go check out their About page. It tells you more about their Vegan standards, no perfumes and fragrances, no thickeners or emulisifiers and so much more great stuff about them!**
The first time I ever tried 100% Pure was the middle of last year. I purchased their Blood Orange Body Cream and Organic Lavender SeaFoam Face Wash. The Facewash was still in a glass jar then, they have since moved to a plastic tube. Makes for cheaper shipping, and easier use. I was so wow’ed by that cleanser that I am not sure how to explain it. I was going through some really horrible breakouts. I had just gotten out of the hospital in Chicago, and I was really depressed.
Just look at the ingredients, nothing harsh, nothing acidic, just clean! or 100% Pure
Ingredients: Seaweeds (Kelp, Sea Lettuce, Spirulina),Green Tea, French Green Sea Clay, Saponified Coconut Oil, Vitamin C (ascorbyl palmitate), Vitamin E (a-tocopherol), Sea Buckthorn Oil, Rosehip Oil, Extracts of Pomegranate, Grapefruit Seed and Rosemary, Lavender Essential Oil, Extracts of Cinnamon, Thyme, Goldenseal and Oregano
The Cleanser had me hook line and sinker. And the Blood Orange Nourishing Body Cream reeled me in like a big ol floppy fish! 100% Natural, 100% Vegetarian, Gluten free The smell is so intoxicating, it is nearly sinful. Sweet like citrus, but not sweet like candy. I don’t like to smell like a little girl, so you can trust me on that one. I just can’t put my finger on an adjective to describe it. It is just uplifting. When you put it on, you just can’t help but smile.
Highly nourishing, luxuriously rich, delicious Organic Blood Orange Body Cream, concentrated with potent anti- aging antioxidants, vitamins, softening fruit oils, and moisturizing avocado and cocoa butters. Incredibly decadent smelling blood orange cream will immediately hydrate, soften and give you dewy, glowing skin. Never any artificial fragrances, synthetic chemicals, chemical preservatives, alcohol or other toxins. Made with all natural, highest quality, organic, ingredients.
So then, I had to wait forever to order anything else. I broke down when I saw that 100% Pure was going to be on QVC. Remember me tellling you about that?
So they had a kit that contained, their Ultra Lengthening Black Tea Mascara, Tinted Moisturizer with SPF 20, and their Coffee Bean Eye Cream, all for $30 a $75 for $30!!! yeah, I couldn’t resist! I had been wanting to find a good natural if not organic mascara forever! So i placed my order as soon as I found them on sale.
All of the Skincare, bath products and cosmetics are colored with fruit and vegetable pigments! The mascara uses black tea pigments, but is 100% natural and 100% vegetarian. Simply amazing. It is awesome too! Leaves my lashes black and glossy! Thick and long. I am telling you, it performs better then the non-natural mascara i had been hanging onto! I am so sad that I had lost touch with 100% Pure. I need a store here in Indianapolis! (err, that might be a bad idea!)
100% natural mascara lengthens, separates, thickens and glosses lashes with fruit pigments and Black tea pigments. Gentle, all natural, good for you formula is suitable for everyone, even if you wear contacts or have sensitive eyes. Water and smudge resistant. Comes in 4 shades, Black Tea, Blackberry, Blueberry, and Dark Chocolate.
I actually haven’t tried the Coffee Berry Eye Cream yet. I simply have too many eye creams open right now, and I don’t want to open another! But here is a independent study:
Pretty EYE-mazing huh? hehe.
I did however try out the Tinted Moisturizer with Spf 20. I have the Golden Peach color. The moisture level is spot on, not greasy at all! That is a problem I have had with some tinted moisturizers, other companies want to put shea butter in them, and that is just too much on my face. It is a sheer to medium coverage so if I do have bad circles under my eyes, I put a little concealer on, or a bad acne mark, same thing. I don’t have a problem with that! It has zinc in it, one of it’s forms of SPF protections, and that will help heal skin irritations- so that is just another bonus!
The Tinted Moisturizer also has white tea, acai oil, pomegranate oil and vitamins. While antioxidants protect your skin from environmental hazards such as pollution, smog, smoke, exhaust, etc.
Ingredients: Pigments of Peach, Apricot, Carrot, Pomegranate, Goji Berry and Tomato, White Tea, Cucumber Juice, Aloe Juice, Acai and Pomegranate Oil, Vitamin E (a-tocopherol), Vitamin C (ascorbyl palmitate), Chamomile and Lavender wax, extracts of Rosemary, Oregano, Thyme, Grapefruit Seed, Goldenseal and Cinnamon, Lavender Essential Oil
SUNSCREEN ACTIVE INGREDIENTS: 15% Titanium Dioxide and 10% Zinc Oxide
Even now, knowing how good for you these products are, and having tested at least 4. I am simply stunned when I read the ingredients. I almost feel like I am being punked. Like, “no way can these products be THIS GOOD, and yet have so few ingredients, and all of them are healthy, and protective for your skin!” But it is true!!! and most of them are organic!
sooo, I have a special treat for you!!!
I have an Ultra Lengthening Black Tea Mascara, Tinted Moisturizer with Spf 20 in Peach Bisque, and their Coffee Bean Eye Cream for one Prissy Green Reader! I thought the Peach Bisque Tinted Moisturizer would be the safest bet for this coming winter. And since it is a sheer coverage I think it will match just about any skin tone.
To enter, head over to 100% Pure and tell me a unique product you would like to try. It can’t be anything that was mentioned here today. Make it something special! They have cool bath specialty products, all sorts of cosmetics, skin care for face and body and so much more!
Remember, this kit is worth $75!!!
