Crushed Botanicals Skincare Review + Foundation

A month ago or so I ordered from Crushed Botanicals because they were having an awesome sale! I am always interested in independent brands. I got a few things that I wanted to share with you.

Skincare:

Crushed Botanicals Detox Cleanser:

This cleanser is great in many ways:

It smells nice; a clean smell.
It feels soft and smooth when applying it on your face.
It makes your skin very soft and clean afterwards. I use it to take off makeup.
It has many great things in it that helps improve your skin!
It has cleared up my acne quite a bit and I have a hard time finding good products for my oily acne prone skin!

I am going to either buy this particular product again, or something similar because I really feel that what is in this really cleared my skin!

It has lasted a long while so far and it doesn't even look luke I used much.(I have had this for over a month!)

Packaging:

It is in a sturdy plastic bottle with a click top which is easy to use and not waste product.
Has the ingredients on the back so you can know what is in it.

One con:

A little pricy being $20 for 4 oz. But that is the price you pay for natural, non toxic products. :)

Crushed Botanicals Aromatherapy Jojoba Moisturizer "Fresh Start":

This moisturizer is great in many ways:

It feels silky on the skin.
You only need a little to go a long way so it lasts a long time!
It smells like lemon and sweet at the same time.
The pump is great so you do not over use.
It is in a glass bottle which is great to keep out toxins!
It lasts a while!

One Con:

It feels a little oily at first, but soaks into the skin quite nicely and does not feel oily after.

Packaging:

Like I mentioned, it is in a glass bottle which is great!
It has a easy to use pump that does not give you too much product.
The information in the front is easy to read and very cute design.
The information on the back tells you what is in it, which is very helpful.

Price:

I honestly do not know because I cannot find it on the site. I paid about half on a sale, and I do not remember what I paid. I know it is pricier.

Liquid Foundation

This foundation is great in many ways:

It is natural and has many great ingredients that benefit your skin!
It even up my skin tone, covering some redness!
I have not broke out with this foundation. I have acne prone skin.
This particular one has a pump, which I like, but is not glass like the website.

She informed me she was ordering more glass bottles with the screw top. I honestly wish it was glass with a pump. :)

It feels silky on the skin.
It gives you a very nice natural glow! Not too noticeable, but just enough.
It is easy to blend and soaks into the skin nicely.

Cons:

It is quite watery, so sometimes when I use it, I splash it on my jeans(I sit at a desk when doing my makeup, pumping it on the back of my hand). I can prevent it sometimes, but when in a hurry I forget!

But it does not stain.

Because it is watery, it is messy. As you see above, the cap is all messy. I could clean I suppose!
It is a bit sheer for my taste, because I want to cover up acne scarring.
Lastly, it does not last that long. I am a little more than half done and I've had it for almost two months.

Packaging:

This particular batch is in a plastic bottle like I mentioned, and it does not have a logo or ingredients on the back, which bummed me out.
I cannot really review the packaging because it isn't the original packaging.

Price:

$15

It think this is a decent price, but with how long it lasts, I am not too sure if I will repurchase. I want to try other brands to so it depends. :)

Overall thought:

Would I repurchase the skincare? YES!
Would I repurchase the foundation? Probably not, just because I need a better coverage foundation and lasts a bit longer.

Thanks for reading and share your thoughts about the brand!
