Did is you know that Baby skin is 5 times thinner than adults making them far more prone to high levels of chemical absorption? Lavanila’s 100% natural Healthy Baby Collection is chemical-free, and delivers 30 essential vitamins and minerals specifically formulated to support the health and development of delicate baby skin. Lavanilla is committed to creating the world’s healthiest baby care products.

LAVANILLA HEALTHY BABY COLLECTION INCLUDES:

• Healthy Baby Wash ($16): This 100% natural two-in-one shampoo and body wash gently cleanses without stripping skin of essential moisture. The pH-balanced, tear-free formula soothes and calms skin with organic vanilla and chamomile as noni leaf and calendula promote healthy skin and protect against infection. While traditional baby wash uses sulfates, petrochemicals, formaldehyde and other harsh chemicals that can accumulate in the bloodstream and strip sensitive skin of moisture, the Healthy Baby Wash is completely free of chemicals and infused with 30 essential vitamins and minerals.
•  Healthy Baby Lotion ($15): Providing daily nourishment and hydration, this weightless, fast-absorbing lotion strengthens and supports the development of healthy skin with 30 vitamins and minerals. Organic vanilla and chamomile soothe and calm as noni leaf and calendula nourish and protect. Free of synthetic preservatives and chemicals that can irritate babies’ sensitive skin like parabens, silicone and petrochemicals, the 100% natural hydrator includes a natural preservative system. 
• Healthy Baby Bottom ($15): Developed to calm irritation and soothe redness, this 100% natural formula provides superior protection and prevention of diaper rash with natural zinc oxide instead of petrolatum, a harsh chemical derived from oil wells during gasoline production. Safe for newborns and up, the fragrance-free formula helps prevent future outbreaks as noni leaf and calendula promote healing and protect against infection. 
• Healthy Baby Butter ($14): Providing ultra-rich hydration to soothe dry skin and calm redness, this 100% natural nourishing butter is formulated with 30 vitamins and minerals selected to strengthen and support the development of healthy skin. Pure shea and cocoa butters soften and comfort instantly, while noni leaf and calendula heal and organic vanilla and chamomile calm. The formula trades harsh chemicals and preservatives for 100% healthy, skin compatible botanicals and oils. 
• Healthy Baby Block ($20): Combining titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, this chemical-free, healthy sunscreen protects delicate skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays to provide 100% natural SPF 40 protection. Formulated with shea butter, calendula and noni juice, the biodegradable, fragrance-free formula hydrates, moisturizes, and replenishes vitamins and minerals. While standard sunblocks contain harsh chemicals like PABA, parabens, phthalates, nanoparticles and synthetic fragrances, the Healthy Baby Block forms a physical barrier to safely protect babies’ delicate skin. Consult your physician for use over six months. 

CONTEST: One Lucky MakeHerUp reader will receive the Lavanila’s 100% natural Healthy Baby Collection prize pack (Healthy Baby Wash, Healthy Baby Lotion, Healthy Baby Bottom, Healthy Baby Butter, Healthy Baby Block – $80 Value)

Jocelyn and I were lucky enough to see Emeli Sande in her first concert in Portland, OR. Neither Jocelyn or I were very familiar with Emeli before the concert, we just knew she was huge in the UK. But before she finished her first song, we were both were in awe of Emeli’s talent.

When she started to sing it was obvious why she had garnered such a following in the UK. Backed by a four-piece band, Emeli sounded flawless from her soulful “Heaven,”to her  upbeat numbers, “Breaking The Law” and rousing “Next To Me,”.  It was definitely one of those concerts you leave in awe knowing you saw something special. I have had Emeli playing on Spotify since the concert, I am hooked.

We were lucky enough to go backstage after the show and meet Emeli, this girl is gorgeous and so sweet.I loved her look from flawless skin to her smokey eyes. Here is how to get her look with Rimmel London.

To recreate Emeli’s look you need to start with a flawless base, Rimmel’s Match Perfection Skin Tone Adapting Concealer will help even out any blemishes or dicoloration.
