The fan girl and dealer (why yes, you can get your HN goodies from me! *wink*) in me got so excited when I learned about Human Nature’s latest makeup product. Why? I can live without blush, eyeshadow, and foundation as long as I have lip gloss in tow!

Introducing…mineral lip gloss with the look good, feel good factor! With a cooling sensation that makes it fun to apply. Passion fruit oil moisturizes and nourishes for soft smooth lips that will surely get noticed! Available in 2 shades: Pink Hibiscus and Island Berry. 8.5ml, Php 195 (promo price, Php 225 regular price)

Experience lip color so rich in moisture that your lips flourish and blossom in healthy beauty! 100% natural and completely free from synthetic chemicals, our lipstick fuses the moisture power from passion fruit seed oil, sunflower oil, cocoa butter, beeswax and rice bran oil to delivery silky, softening, smoothening color to your lips. So you get lips so beautiful, they can only be natural!

Gawad Kalinga Village Pueblo Antonio in Catigan Davao del Sur is home to a passion fruit farming community that sells their harvest for a mere P10 per kilo – barely enough to sustain a family with dignity. 100% of all profit earned from the sale of this lipstick will fund the development of a processing facility for passion fruit seed oil that can command a much higher price, creating a more sustainable and dependable livelihood for the community. The program will continue until the facility is fully funded.

I slightly panicked in Twitter some 48 hours ago because I just realized that 1) I’ll be working the rest of the week and 2) I’ve yet to pack my bags for my upcoming beach trip this weekend. While I can live in just two tanks, a pair of shorts, bikinis and a coupl’a undies, I can’t quite afford to leave the same beauty junk I brought to La Union at home. Is there anything I’m missing? Or do you see anything I should ditch? HALPZ!

Can’t live without that ginger rub at the moment! :)
