Face: I start by preparing my skin with rose water toner, and then a few drops of pure jojoba oil – The Jojoba Company is my favourite brand to use. I then use the Sukin Facial Moisturiser and apply my Ere Perez foundation with a brush, or, if I feel like lighter coverage, I mix the foundation with my moisturiser and apply with my fingers.

The lowdown:
I only recently heard about Green Organics, a little makeup and skincare shop in Sydney, located right near Wynyard Station in the Metcentre. If you’re a Sydney resident then check them out! They also have a great online store.
I think I hadn’t heard of them until recently because they don’t seem to do social media in a big way! Regardless, I was thrilled to find them. I was in heaven in their store! I was able to test out some products from some lovely brands that I’ve been interested in for ages.

The lowdown:
I am very picky about highlighters/illuminators. The champagne-coloured glittery highlighters that dominate the market never seem to give me the natural ‘glow’ I’m after, which frustrates me more than it should.
Enter Kjaer Weis Radiance; a stunningly beautiful lavender-tinted cream highlighter.
When Radiance was released, I knew it was about time I treated myself to a splurge on a piece of high-end natural makeup. Read the rest of this entry »
The lowdown:
The Ere Perez Oat Milk Foundation in the shade ‘light’ is my everyday foundation.
I am naturally quite pale, and this shade matches my skin perfectly.
However, I have found that I can still wear this shade after applying fake tan (which I am an avid user of).
The foundation seems to somewhat adapt to my skin tone, which I love. Read the rest of this entry »
My name is Paige. I am a 19-year-old university student studying communications and journalism. I live in Sydney, Australia.
I am beginning my blog, posiepaige, as a medium through which I can share with others my experience of natural skincare and cosmetics.
I began switching to natural products as a result of my sensitive skin.
Allergic to soap, body wash, bubblebath and shampoo, I wondered if I was in fact allergic to Sodium Lauryl/Laureth Sulfate (SLS), a chemical used in foaming products.
As I switched to SLS-free hair and skincare and had pleasing results, I also noticed that SLS was present even in products like my toothpaste.
Horrified at the thought of putting harmful chemicals on and in my body, I decided to completely eliminate all commercial, chemical-laden personal care products from my life.
Soon after, I decided I wanted to further this change by switching to natural and organic makeup.
My change of lifestyle has made me more aware of the products I use every day.
Now, I use only natural and organic products on my skin. Some I buy, some I even make myself. By doing this, I know exactly what I’m putting on my skin and what is being absorbed into my body.
Now I want to share what I’ve found, and what I will continue to experience as a natural beauty lover.
I hope that the information I share will benefit other women and help them make informed choices.
I hope that the natural beauty movement spreads far and wide, and that we will all feel safe about the products we use.
I hope that you will enjoy my blog.
Love, Paige.
