Jeune d’Age Organics: Antioxidant Packed Skincare Line

Jeune d’Age Organics: Antioxidant Packed Skincare Line

Many organic skin care lines tend towards granola-y packaging – jeune d’age on the other hand delivers organic ingredients along with packaging that still feels lovely and luxurious. jeune d’age organics is a skincare line that is free of synthetic chemicals, fragrances and preservatives and is loaded with proven skin-friendly ingredients. We loved their four piece product line – a full skincare regimen with serum, cleanser, toner and moisturizer.

The 93% Organic Premiere Cleanser and Mild Exfoliator has a creamy texture and leaves skin feeling soft and exceptionally clean. In addition to a cocktail of antioxidants, the formula includes green papaya, pineapple and papaya extracts to gently exfoliate. $19.95

The Prevoir Face and Body Lotion is not only loaded with antioxidants and moisturizing ingredients: it can also be used on the face and body. We love a good multitasker! $29.95

98% Organic Marin Toner brings minerals and nutrients from the ocean right to your skin. Our skin tingled a little – in a good way – and felt refreshed and super clean. $24.95
Jeune d'age Organics Serum

The Firming Anti-Aging Serum is packaged in individual packets to keep sensitive ingredients stable and effective (many ingredients including Vitamin C become unstable when exposed to air). The serum is loaded with antioxidants – Acai berry, CoQ10 and Vitamin C as well as Vitamins A, B and E. They’ve also added Hyaluron and DMAE to keep skin soft and supple. Not only is this a very effective serum – the box that the individual packets are presented in is made from flower seeds and can be planted to create a flower garden of your own. $39.95

Though we loved the whole line two items stood out – Firming Anti-Aging Serum and Prevoir Face and Body Lotion. We loved the multitasking of the moisturizer and the easy portability of the serum – not to mention the flower garden you can grow yourself. Find the full collection at www.jeunedage.com.

Clinique Vitamin C Lip Smoothie Antioxidant Lippie

Clinique Vitamin C Lip Smoothie Antioxidant Lippie

Typically, I go to Jamba Juice to get my smoothie fix. I love taking in a blend of blueberries, strawberries and liquid gold-like orange juice.

Perhaps the R&D lab at Clinique read my mind (or my habits). They’ve taken all antioxidant-rich good fruit and squeezed them into a new Vitamin C Lip Smoothie Antioxidant Lip Color.

Clinique Vitamin C Lip Smoothie Antioxidant Lip Color

A highly active form of vitamin C helps improve the look and feel of the lips, and other ingredients include pomegranate (helps fight against environmental damage); acai berry (antioxidant hero); shea butter and Theobroma Seed Butter to provide moisture.

I loved the color of Nude-tritious (shown below). It’s absolutely a gorgeous shimmery shade of nude and it wore well and lasted for quite a while. I did find it a tad bit tacky and sticky. I’m not sure if I would give up some of my tried and true favorite Clinique lip glosses to opt for the Vitamin C Lip Smoothie, but I do admit the antioxidant benefits have me hooked. For $17.50, this is not a bad deal at all.

Clinique Lip Smoothie in Nude-tritious

It comes in eight shades from opaque to shimmery. The must have shades for fall? A nude lip, Nude-tritious which has a tinge of shimmer; and a high impact Absolute Acai that smacks true of berry shades.


These are available now at $17.50 each at Clinique.com and counters nationwide.
