This post appears in the All-Natural Style Secrets campaign.

It seems like it's been forever since I endeavored to lead a more natural lifestyle. It's quite a process, believe me! When Lucky announced their "All Natural Style Secrets" challenge, I thought that I had some fun little products to share!

Deodorant is probably one of the most controversial products when it comes to your health. Tom's Naturally Dry deodorant boasts that it's "the first made entirely from ingredients derived from plants and minterals." This is virtually unscented and leaves me feeling fresh and comfortable all day long!

No artificial colors, flavors, fragrance or preservatives

Facial serums have become my first choice for moisturization. Seventh Generation's Soothing Serum leaves my face moisturized without feeling greasy. I received this free sample of this product from Lucky and Seventh Generation for use in connection with this blog.

Vegan
No animal testing (Leaping Bunny)
Gluten-Free

I'm not sure if I can handle how much I LOVE my Lush Mint Julips Lip Scrub. It smells exquisite and does a fantastic job of exfoliating my lips, without being too abrasive. Plus, it tastes delicious!

All natural oils and extracts
Fair-trade sugar
Vegan

Tarte is one of those brands that has eluded me for quite sometime because of the steep-ish prices. But I have been able to get my hands on a few great products, including this trio of Natural Cheek Stains (Luster, Vivid, Flaweless). They are a dream to apply and have great staying power throughout the day.

Vegan
No mineral oil, parabens, petrolatum, phthalates, sodium laurel sulfate (SLS), synthetic fragarance

I've been curious about Pacifica for quite some time and finally acquired some of their makeup (thanks mom!). These shadows are nicely pigmented and can be applied lightly or with a heavier hand for a more dramatic look. Not to mention the shades are gorgeous!

Vegan
No animal testing (self-proclaimation)
No sulfates, petroleum, parabens, SLS, phthalates

These last two items were really more for fun. When I think of "all natural" my mind wanders a bit into hippie-dippy land. I wear these pieces when I'm feeling a little more boho.
