Best & Worst Aluminum Free Deodorants I have been on the hunt for the perfect aluminum free deodorant for years now. I have tried out quite a few, some are good, some are down right terrible.  I won't get in to all the science behind why going aluminum free is healthier for you. If you're interested in finding out more about that, just do a quick google search on "aluminum in deodorant".  Here is a breakdown of the aluminum free deodorants I've tried, which ones I would pass on, and ones I would absolutely purchase again!

LaVanila Cyber Monday Haul Black Friday and Cyber Monday weekend was a couple weekends ago now and I FINALLY received my package that I ordered! This is just a small haul from LaVanila that were doing 25% off their entire site that weekend. Here we go! First off, the main thing I decided to get was the LaVanila Healthy Deodorant in Vanilla Coconut , this scent just became available in the deodorant and I knew I had to try it! These retail for $14 and comes with 2 fl ounces of product. I find these last about 2 months for me. I have a review of the deodorant in Pure Vanilla HERE to give you guys a more in depth idea of this product. This deodorant can be purchased online at LaVanila.com . This scent is not yet available at Sephora, however the other scents can be found online and in-stores at Sephora.com .  "Vanilla Coconut" The Healthy Deodorant LaVanila Then with this purchase, I received 2 free fragrance samples which I was able to choo...

I've gone through many makeup and beauty products in the last few months so I thought I would give you guys a mini review on each of these products! Here are my Makeup & Beauty Product Empties for the month of October ! NYX HD Concealer Often the holy grail drugstore concealer, I found that this concealer emphasized the fine lines underneath my eyes. I used this shade as a facial highlighter on my fair skin, and it looked great. But for under the eyes, it didn't look right. So if you don't have fine lines, maybe this will work for you. This retails for $4.99 at Ulta, Target, and nyxcosmetics.com . Will re-purchase in the "Lavender" shade but only for the face. Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Dark Circle Concealer in "Brightener" One of the few under eye brighteners at the drugstore, I really liked this concealer. It helped lessen the look of the darkness underneath my eyes. If you have severe under eye darkness, this may n...

In my quest to eliminate parabens from my makeup collection, I also decided I wanted to go the natural route with my deodorant; no aluminum, no parabens, etc. I've tried a few; Toms of Maine, Arm and Hammer Naturals, and thus far this is the only one I would recommend trying! LaVanila Healthy Deodorant The LaVanila Healthy Deodorant retails for $14 in-stores and online at Sephora , Lavanila.com , and various other websites that carry LaVanila Products. It comes with 2 oz of product for the full size. I ran out of the travel size quickly, so hopefully the 2 oz lasts a long time. There are 7 scents available , the one I have and will be reviewing for you today is the scent "Pure Vanilla". LaVanila Laboratories The Healthy Deodorant is a solid deodorant encased in a sturdy plastic tube, the cap twists off and you twist the product up from the bottom. It's a white powder but I don't find it transfers to my clothing or stains them. I won't get into ...
