Portland's Local Beauty Products

While Ambs and I were in Portland, we stopped by a small local grocery store that stocked an entire row of locally produced beauty products. (They also had a shelf of Portland-produced hot sauces, but that is for another post). Naturally, we tried pretty much everything they had, and we walked away with the following:

Wild Rose Eye Cream by Wild Carrot Herbals

This stuff is awesome, so gentle around the eyes and smells like an effing bouqet of roses hit you in the face. In a good way. 

Almond-Aloe Facial Moisturizer by Earth Science

This is actually made in Santa Barbara, so I sort of took issue with buying it. But it's so light and smells really nice. Thumbs up. 

And because I am not made of money, I also made myself a wish list for next time I'm far up north:

Willamina Brightening Mask

$52 from Spa Willamina in Portland

Alima Satin Matte Foundation

This stuff is all-natural and goes on really light

And I desperately want to get my eyebrows sugared. I know that sounds weird, but it's basically just using sugar, lemon, and water to remove hair. Strange, but wonderful. 

Sugar Me Portland is the city's first and only sugaring studio. They're way ahead of their time on this one. Sign me up.
