Dedicated Email: Locally Beautiful
Filed Under Dedicated Emails | October 6, 2009
You take tender care of the skin your kids are in, looking for products that are free of phthalates, parabens and sodium lauryl/laureth sulfate, but what about the skin you’re in? Doesn’t it deserve equally safe products? Local online boutique Ilus Elu offers a handmade range of bespoke organic skincare, makeup and perfumes that are all about bringing beauty into your life. Think luscious moisturizers and serums, vibrant mineral makeup and gentle soaps and cleansers.
Originally created for recovering cancer patients, all Ilus Elu’s formulations are extra-gentle, scent-free and handmade in small batches. They use skin-pampering organic jojoba and pomegranate oils, oxides and mica. Their powders, cream compacts and pencils are free of D&C dyes, talc and bismuth oxychloride – so they’re better for you and for the environment.
Ilus Elu also provides personal consultations and delivery in the Lower Mainland (and consultations by phone and email everywhere else), because if there’s one thing they know about mamas, it’s that having kids brings out all sorts of changes in your skin. They stand behind their products, allowing you to sample them to make sure they’re exactly what you want. And if they’re not they’ll bring you back something that is.
And because they’re continually developing new products they’re always on the lookout for testers. Want to be a great skin guinea pig? Just contact them on twitter or drop them an email and they’ll be in touch!
They’ve got a great contest going on right now too! Just for Halloween Ilus Elu will create a custom makeup kit to compliment your child’s costume. All you have to do is share your costume idea with them via twitter or email for your chance to win one of five custom-made palettes that’ll turn a good costume into a great one.
From now until November 1st not only do they have an exclusive offer for yoyomama readers – 30% off all purchases, just use the code yoyobeauty – but for every purchase in October frazzled mamas will be entered into a draw for a one-hour in-home massage from Coast Mobile Massage.
Yup, it’s all about the skin you’re in!
