iHerb Haul

Oh, iHerb, how I love you. My wallet does not, unfortunately, so I have a somewhat strained relationship with this site.

IHerb is what I would consider a natural product drugstore (read: heaven). You can find all sorts of products from vitamins to essential oils to makeup from brands like Weleda, Acure, Pacifica and Hurraw- all at discounted prices! Product variety and low shipping costs make it a one-stop shop for many beauty essentials. IHerb also offers promo codes for first time shoppers (use the code BUY123 for an instant $10 off your first purchase of $40 or more, or $5 off smaller orders) and has a reward system in place so you can earn points for use on future orders.

I placed an order on some Hurraw lip balms, Acure's argan oil, Sibu's seabuckthorn oil, and a Heritage rosewater.

Hurraw! lip balms are infamous in the natural beauty world for being high quality and moisturizing. They're vegan, raw, organic, non-GMO, gluten free, soy free, shea free and nontoxic. I was impressed by the ingredients and had my eye on the balms for a while, but I couldn't bring myself to spend $6-8 for them on Naturismo and other sites. Luckily on iHerb they're between $3.37-$3.82. I picked up the vanilla one, the cinnamon one, and the chai one. I adore the fun, bright packaging, the sleek shape and the delicious flavours. I'm thinking these will become staples in my collection and I can't wait to try more!

Acure, to my delight, sells 100% pure USDA certified organic argan oil. Argan oil is seen as a "liquid gold" multitasker that can be used on the face, nails, hair or body. It's rich in fatty acids, vitamin e, and proteins, which enable it to fight lines, minimize and heal scars, repair imperfections while at the same time restoring hydration, texture, elasticity and tone. I do wish it was in a darker bottle to prevent the oil from deteriorating and I was a bit disappointed mine came with a pump instead of a dropper as I prefer the latter, but I'm still very excited to hop on the argan bandwagon and reap this precious oil's benefits.

Sibu's seabuckthorn oil contains very active ingredients which are seen as potent anti-aging and healing components. I was persuaded to buy it by Beauty by Britanie's glowing review of it where she explained it can reduce redness, help with acne, rosacea, dermatitis, and help with other skin conditions. I thought I'd give it a shot, as I am prone to red, uneven skin and acne scarring so I'm hoping this will help.

Heritage rosewater can be used as a body spray/perfume, a toner, air freshener, you name it! I purchased it with the intention to use it as a toner because of the divine scent and the countless benefits of rose flower oil. It feels very fresh and the scent leaves you very relaxed and soothed. At $6.52 you can't go wrong!
