Eco.kid Product Review

Since it's earth day, I thought it was fitting that I would write about Eco.kid. I recently received some really lovely products to try out with my two year old daughter. I reviewed a package with TLC hypo-allergenic wash, Nourish daily conditioner and, Prevent daily shampoo.

First of all, the bottles are decorated with adorable, black and white pictures of children enjoying being themselves. The backgrounds are clean with simple colors and fonts. Eco.kid is made in Australia and uses certified organic ingredients. The ingredients are meant to be pure and made from indigenous, sustainable, and even wild plants.

The shampoo and conditioner I received smell like citrus oils and very fresh. The shampoo lathers fine with water and is gentle enough to use daily. The conditioner smells similar and helps with fine hair tangles. The best part? I thought it was amazing that the ingredients they used deter head lice! I know some people don't even think about it but, believe me, after you've worked with children that seem to be hair lice magnets, you tend to appreciate something this awesome! The body wash is very earthy and smells very much like I'm sitting in a field and smelling the greenery around me. It's creamy and doesn't lather, it's really nice on the skin. My daughter gets dry patches and mild eczema, so it works wonderfully on her without over drying.

Eco.kid's philosophy is that they would rather prevent than treat problems that are happening with our children. They want to make an earth sustainable product that is also good for our little ones. They want to prevent things like eczema from flaring, lice, and allergies. They want their packaging to be recyclable and their products to be as biodegradable as possible.

I really enjoyed learning more about this product and it didn't hurt that my daughter had a great experience with these products with her hair and skin. It's really educated me on "Eco-responsible" products and their effect on the planet and on the micro level, our children.

Nvey Eco Makeup

I only recently heard about Nvey(na vay) makeup. I didn't know their background so I began doing some research. Their headquarters is based in Australia but, they are also in the U.S.. They are a company with years of experience in cosmetics as well as a company that is devoted to nature and beauty.

The Nvey cosmetics are made organic(certified Australian) and aren't tested on animals. They are made with natural ingredients and made in Australia, although they do have a base in the US as well. They were created after six years of research and testing and 46 years in the cosmetic industry. Their goal is to dispel the thought that "green" makeup doesn't perform well. Their claims are that they have a special production method that keeps the green aspect in tact while delivering high performance.


In a world that is severely toxic, it's nice when I get to try and purchase products that are good for the body and feed my desire to have beauty products as well. Almost everything we come into contact with is toxic anymore from the years of chemical additives and preservatives being put into our daily use soaps, cosmetics, and lotions.


Nvey uses ingredients like natural beeswax, sweet almond oil, vitamin C, Jojoba oil, and rose absolute. There are no parabens, petrochemicals or synthetic fragrances in their cosmetics and they can be purchased on a number of sites and in a number of stores.


I had a chance to try some of their samples of blush and eye shadow. The powder's are dense, rich in color, and smooth when applying. There's plenty of pigment in the darker eyeshadow and blush. I used them for a few days to get a feel of how they go on and how they stay on.


I received an off white, matte powder eyeshadow, a frost pale pink and a teal. I also received a Terra cotta colored blush. The blush is a little darker than I usually use so I put it on very lightly and still there was more pigment than I would've liked. A little went a long way for sure. I tried on the different shadows and even paired the pale pink with the teal to see how they layered. If you use a brush to apply your shadows, you're going to have to either layer the shadows or dab the powder on the lid or it will be very sheer. If you like sheer, especially in light colors then it will work great for you! The darker colored pigment I had no problem with as far as applying.


My lids tend to get oily throughout the day so I did have fading in the color. If you have lids like that, you may want to put a base of powder on your lid to make it last longer. Overall, I was pleased with the product. I had no reaction whatsoever, the powder is weightless and actually soothing on the lid. Even when it flaked as I was applying it, I had no irritation. I can honestly say, I would use this product again.
