Beauty Note | Juice Beauty Phyto-Pigments Illuminating Primer

June 7, 2016 by hellnotesforbeauty | Leave a Comment

Foundation primers are a recent discovery for me and a makeup favorite of the moment. As you all know, I’m on a mission to discover new, natural, organic & toxic free beauty & personal care items. Luckily, Juice Beauty has become a very reliable brand when it comes to those qualities.

For the longest time I steered away from foundation primers because I always felt like it was an unnecessary step, too many questionable ingredients and might make my skin look too “cakey“. After receiving a sample primer & trying it out for some time, I realized the purpose of having a good primer under your makeup wasn’t so unnecessary after all.

Primers smooths out your skin, improves texture and helps my makeup last longer with little to no touch ups. Although its not a step I do everyday, it is something I make sure I incorporate during those special events where I may wear more makeup than usual.

What is it?                      Juice Beauty Phyto-Pigments Illuminating Primer $36.00 for 1 fl oz./30 mL

Ingredient of Note PHYTO-PIGMENTS

Antioxidant-rich vegan makeup powered by an organic base of botanical juices, waxes & powders infused with natural whole PHYTO-PIGMENTS™, age-defying serum and cold-pressed oils to deliver vibrant color, illuminate skin, smooth lines & wrinkles and blur imperfections for a flawless complexion and naturally beautiful radiance. 

Organic • Vegan + Cruelty Free • Silicone Free •  Paraben Free •  Fragrance Free • Free of Artificial Dyes


What it do?                                     Smoothing & Perfecting primer with illuminating qualities.

Code word: Illuminating. Perfect for my moody &  dry skin.  I’d always steer away from products that claim to be “illuminating” but looks like my skin has been on the perpetual dry side, so instead of leaving me greasy, this gives me just the right amount of “glow” or moisture without appearing too shiny or greasy by the end of the day.

I apply this primer after I moisturize and before foundation or CC Cream.  Considering I did purchase this during the winter, I’m curious about its performance during the summer months.  We did experience some heat briefly recently and it seemed to have held up nicely.  Since my skin is more on the dry side, any potential oiliness will be kept at bay for sure.

Where to Find?                                 

I purchased mine at Ulta and also heard that Whole Foods also carries the Juice Beauty Line.

My Review + Thoughts                    

After I moisturize my skin I prep with this primer.  A little goes a long way as just one pump is able to cover my entire face. Since it is an Illuminating primer, If I use more than that I risk looking a bit greasy.  My skin has been stuck on the dry side so this helps balance out any dryness.

It goes under my It Cosmetic CC cream (shade Tan) and My L’oreal True Match foundation very nicely.  The illuminating factor gives me a very subtle glow which I love especially when I notice I have any dry patches.

It also does wonders for those no makeup days!  If I’m having a lazy day or heading out to the Gym, but have errands afterwards, I just apply my moisturizer and this primer over it and out I go.  It helps improve my skin’s texture, minimize redness and gives it a very nice glow.  Now it doesn’t cover spots or darkness, but does help even out my skin tone and help it not look so dull without foundation.

Pros                                       Light weight, blends & applies easily. Moisturizing.

I was a bit skeptical to be honest about this purchase.  I had the Smashbox primer full size version on hand after loving the sample I got, but I was also concerned about the silicones and nasty ingredients. It was as if the sales girl who recommended it to me was reading my mind because she so confidently pointed out all the nasty ingredients the other primer had vs. this one.

I was skeptical at first because most “organic” “natural” based makeup products have been really bad. No pigment, watery, lacking consistency has been my issue with natural based cosmetics.  Juice Beauty however seems to be a step ahead as this primer delivers very well.

Cons:                                     I have no cons to point out abut this product honestly!  It has no scent, the pump is efficient and I don’t waste any product. There’s a lot to love about this primer!

Summer Skin Prep Dry Bushing is one of my favori Summer Skin Prep 

Dry Bushing is one of my favorite skin care routines and not only is it topically beneficial to remove dead skin, reveal soft skin, and treat cellulite, but also has many health benefits overall.  One of the most important health benefits of dry brushing is the ability to stimulate the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system is made up of a network of tissues and organs that fights infections, bacteria in the blood and other toxins and is a essential part of the immune system which supports the body's defense against viruses, bacteria, infections and supports the body's natural detoxification processes. The Lymphatic system consists of Lymph fluid which is a water like substance made of white blood cells, among other immune fighting cells that protect against bacteria and infections in the blood.

One of the most efficient ways to detox is through the skin and dry brushing stimulates blood circulation which is needed for proper detoxification. Another way to stimulate the lymphatic system is by sweating with some form of physical exercise since the lymphatic system has no central pump to move the fluid through the network as efficiently. So regular exercise and stimulating techniques like dry brushing and massages help the body maintain strength and balance to support the immune system.

I dry brush 2-3 times a week or every other day with a natural bristle brush you can find at most holistic wellness stores and sites near you. 

All you need is 5 minutes before you shower for smooth soft skin with the added health benefits.

How to Dry Brush 
Start at the soles of your feet and brush upward to the stomach, toward the heart.

For the stomach, work in a clockwise direction.

Use firm, small strokes upward, or work in a circular motion.

When you get up to your upper body, start at your hands, up to your arms toward the heart.

Lightly and delicately brush your chest area toward the heart.

Make sure your motions are slow and gentle so you don't tear, scratch or irritate the skin.

Self Initiation The word "initiate" simply means Self Initiation

The word "initiate" simply means to start.  The moment you start to search for truth in any way, shape or form, you have actually started on your path of initiation. From then on, your initiation deepens in direct proportion to your efforts. Remember, input=output. There are many stages in any person's spiritual path. Each experience in a person's life journey is an initiation in itself, as certain realizations are made. Again, these are personal realizations and are dictated by your own progress and level of advancement. These, levels, have nothing to do with with the grades and titles adopted by "tribes", "covens", "spiritual house". An initiate advances by becoming aware. -Phillip Cooper

It is very important to build a personal relationship and foundation with the concept of what "spirituality" means to you.  Spirituality does not mean you have to be subordinate to anything or anyone outside of you. It does not mean that if you interact with your spirit guides or spiritual gifts that you will be "cursed" for doing it "wrong".  There is no right or wrong in your spiritual development, there is only truth, your truth.  Just because something is different does not mean its wrong, just that what works for me, may not work for you.

Many people nowadays rush to "initiate" into a religion, tradition or following without first honoring their own individuality. Not saying that a community is bad, just that each individual that makes up that whole should have some sense of their individual strengths.  If everyone is the same and no individual variations are displayed then you're technically in a cult when often times than not, the "leader" is demeaning, withholds information and manipulates others on the basis of the followers perceived weakness.

You are an individual.  There is no one else like you in existence, so it naturally follows that there is only one path for you to follow. Your Own.  Your path leads to truth, not someone else's truth, but your own truth concerning your magical true self and your relationship with the universe.  No teacher could ever lead you to truth. All that can ever be done is to show you the way.
Ancestral Perspective In order for you to be bor Ancestral Perspective 

In order for you to be born, you need two parents, four grandparents, eight great grandparents, 16 second great grandparents, 32 third great grandparents, etc. If you go all the way to ninth great grandparents, that’s 2,048  ancestors. If you go a little further to 12 generations, you have 4,094  ancestors.

Your DNA is from those 4,094 people that lived over the last 400 + years 

Think about that for a second especially when attempting to embrace, implement and integrate Ancestral veneration into our “modern” lifestyle. A society that overlooks traumas or the trend of “healers” seeking to heal others without addressing their own wounds. We must heal our current relationships especially those parental and familial wounds. Understand who/what hurt our parents, their parents and beyond. 
 
Think about how much trauma, pain, suffering, fear, and all of the low-density energy that was experienced by those people that lived in times where they didn’t have as much safety, knowledge, information, and security as we do now. 

It seems as though we have all this information and accessibility but refuse to acknowledge the truth. Ignorance simply means “to ignore” it is the root of the word, ignore what is so presently in our human experience. Life is beautiful, but the gesture of existence comes with its stipulations. 

We are here to live our lessons, material possessions are only consequentials to this realm, successive side effects of living in our truth and purpose.
“...the truth holds the greatest magic, the grea “...the truth holds the greatest magic, the greatest beauty and sometimes the greatest danger.”

Summer Skin Prep Dry Bushing is one of my favori Summer Skin Prep 

Dry Bushing is one of my favorite skin care routines and not only is it topically beneficial to remove dead skin, reveal soft skin, and treat cellulite, but also has many health benefits overall.  One of the most important health benefits of dry brushing is the ability to stimulate the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system is made up of a network of tissues and organs that fights infections, bacteria in the blood and other toxins and is a essential part of the immune system which supports the body's defense against viruses, bacteria, infections and supports the body's natural detoxification processes. The Lymphatic system consists of Lymph fluid which is a water like substance made of white blood cells, among other immune fighting cells that protect against bacteria and infections in the blood.

One of the most efficient ways to detox is through the skin and dry brushing stimulates blood circulation which is needed for proper detoxification. Another way to stimulate the lymphatic system is by sweating with some form of physical exercise since the lymphatic system has no central pump to move the fluid through the network as efficiently. So regular exercise and stimulating techniques like dry brushing and massages help the body maintain strength and balance to support the immune system.

I dry brush 2-3 times a week or every other day with a natural bristle brush you can find at most holistic wellness stores and sites near you. 

All you need is 5 minutes before you shower for smooth soft skin with the added health benefits.

How to Dry Brush 
Start at the soles of your feet and brush upward to the stomach, toward the heart.

For the stomach, work in a clockwise direction.

Use firm, small strokes upward, or work in a circular motion.

When you get up to your upper body, start at your hands, up to your arms toward the heart.

Lightly and delicately brush your chest area toward the heart.

Make sure your motions are slow and gentle so you don't tear, scratch or irritate the skin.

Self Initiation The word "initiate" simply means Self Initiation

The word "initiate" simply means to start.  The moment you start to search for truth in any way, shape or form, you have actually started on your path of initiation. From then on, your initiation deepens in direct proportion to your efforts. Remember, input=output. There are many stages in any person's spiritual path. Each experience in a person's life journey is an initiation in itself, as certain realizations are made. Again, these are personal realizations and are dictated by your own progress and level of advancement. These, levels, have nothing to do with with the grades and titles adopted by "tribes", "covens", "spiritual house". An initiate advances by becoming aware. -Phillip Cooper

It is very important to build a personal relationship and foundation with the concept of what "spirituality" means to you.  Spirituality does not mean you have to be subordinate to anything or anyone outside of you. It does not mean that if you interact with your spirit guides or spiritual gifts that you will be "cursed" for doing it "wrong".  There is no right or wrong in your spiritual development, there is only truth, your truth.  Just because something is different does not mean its wrong, just that what works for me, may not work for you.

Many people nowadays rush to "initiate" into a religion, tradition or following without first honoring their own individuality. Not saying that a community is bad, just that each individual that makes up that whole should have some sense of their individual strengths.  If everyone is the same and no individual variations are displayed then you're technically in a cult when often times than not, the "leader" is demeaning, withholds information and manipulates others on the basis of the followers perceived weakness.

You are an individual.  There is no one else like you in existence, so it naturally follows that there is only one path for you to follow. Your Own.  Your path leads to truth, not someone else's truth, but your own truth concerning your magical true self and your relationship with the universe.  No teacher could ever lead you to truth. All that can ever be done is to show you the way.
Ancestral Perspective In order for you to be bor Ancestral Perspective 

In order for you to be born, you need two parents, four grandparents, eight great grandparents, 16 second great grandparents, 32 third great grandparents, etc. If you go all the way to ninth great grandparents, that’s 2,048  ancestors. If you go a little further to 12 generations, you have 4,094  ancestors.

Your DNA is from those 4,094 people that lived over the last 400 + years 

Think about that for a second especially when attempting to embrace, implement and integrate Ancestral veneration into our “modern” lifestyle. A society that overlooks traumas or the trend of “healers” seeking to heal others without addressing their own wounds. We must heal our current relationships especially those parental and familial wounds. Understand who/what hurt our parents, their parents and beyond. 
 
Think about how much trauma, pain, suffering, fear, and all of the low-density energy that was experienced by those people that lived in times where they didn’t have as much safety, knowledge, information, and security as we do now. 

It seems as though we have all this information and accessibility but refuse to acknowledge the truth. Ignorance simply means “to ignore” it is the root of the word, ignore what is so presently in our human experience. Life is beautiful, but the gesture of existence comes with its stipulations. 

We are here to live our lessons, material possessions are only consequentials to this realm, successive side effects of living in our truth and purpose.
“...the truth holds the greatest magic, the grea “...the truth holds the greatest magic, the greatest beauty and sometimes the greatest danger.”
