Pin Up Cosmetics

Hi dolls,

How are you? I hope you’re treating your beautiful faces well :) It’s gotten really cold here and my delicate skin was in serious need of some pampering. Luckily, the mailman came by the other day and delivered a package from..........

Pin Up Cosmetics

Pin Up Cosmetics (www.pinupcosmetics.net) is a retro-inspired brand, based in San Francisco, that offers handmade, natural and vegan beauty products. This is the perfect brand for you pinup dolls, eco-friendly beauties and vegan vixens! Let’s face it: every woman is a pinup doll in her own way ;) It’s important for every woman to also know what exactly she’s applying on her skin and hair. It can be really difficult to find wholesome beauty products and it’s alarming how many cosmetics nowadays contain toxic chemicals. Thank goodness, makeup artist and artisan, Aprill Lacey, combined two of her passions: old school glamour and organic cosmetics, to create Pin Up Cosmetics. As emphasized on the brand's website, ''Pin Up Cosmetics makes it easy to be glamorous with a conscience'' and this phrase sums up the essence of this fabulous brand.

Speaking of essence, I can smell lavender, rose and grapefruit right now....

Isn't the packaging adorable??

Here is a sample of Pin Up Cosmetics Rose Petal Face Cream. I tested it out on my face and my skin is as soft as a baby’s. I really like how it’s non-greasy and how the scent is very delicate and soothing. It's suitable for all skin types:

This bottle below is a sample of Pinup Cosmetics Graprefruit & Lavender Serum. The serum contains apricot kernel oil, grapeseed oil, vitamin E, lavender and grapefruit essential oils (100% pure!). A few drops of this on my face and neck, and I’m in utter bliss! I'm amazed how this hydrates my skin, while also minimizing pores (thank you, grapefruit! :)). The lavender oil is also doing its job by greatly reducing the redness in my skin due to cold wind. This product is also perfect for all skin types and it has a very pleasant, fresh and calming scent.

Last but not least, Pin Up Cosmetics Buxom Lip Gloss. This lip gloss contains jojoba seed oil and peppermint essential oil. Wow, I'm hooked; it not only adds a beautiful shine (my lips look poutier!), it also moisturizes your lips and gives them a very natural hint of color. Did I mention, how moisturized my lips are?? The texture is perfect, not sticky nor liquidy. Hello, healthy and beautiful lips!!!  

You can really see the Pin Up Cosmetics Lip Gloss on my lips here below.

 Don't I look just like Angelina Jolie?? ;)

Ciao bambole,

Il post di oggi è dedicato a Pin Up Cosmetics, una marca americana di cosmetici bio.....con un tocco retrò! Una marca perfetta per la donna pin-up, la donna vegana, la donna ''green''. Ogni donna è una pin-up a modo suo, e ogni donna dovrebbe essere consapevole di cosa esattamente si mette sul viso e sui capelli. E' difficile trovare prodotti di bellezza 100% naturali e purtroppo molti cosmetici contengono sostanze tossiche. Per fortuna, Aprill Lacey (artigiana e truccatrice), unendo le sue due passioni (prodotti ecologici e il glamour retrò) ha creato Pin Up Cosmetics. I suoi prodotti sono 100% organici, privi di sostanze chimiche e fatti a mano. Finalmente, una marca con una coscienza!

Io ho provato i campioncini della crema idratante alla rosa, il siero con olii essenziali di lavanda e pompelmo e un lucidalabbra con olio di jojoba e di menta piperita. La crema e il siero hanno idratato e lenito la mia pelle, senza ungerla. Il profumo delicato che emanano questi prodotti ti trasportano in un mondo...appunto, green! Poi, il lucidalabbra è favoloso; è emolliente e ha anche abbelito le mie labbra. Cioè, sembro quasi Angelia Jolie con questo gloss!! ;) Sono pienamente soddisfatta dalla qualità eccellente e consiglio Pin Up Cosmetics per mettere in risalto la vostra bellezza, naturalmente.
