Let us know what you think or share your great finds with us so we can share them with other Vancouver mothers!
What great products! I don’t often wear foundation – but I really should with all my freckles. Their aloe based foundation and the fact that they will mix shades for you sounds perfect.
The handbags are gorgeous too. The Country Jane is definately on my wishlist.
I would like to try the Between Friends Serum, looks great.
I love the Country Jane handbag at Divina and the balms look Iluselu look like they are amazing!
Great stuff all around~
its good to know that things can be made that are effective and undamaging to the environment – as I get older I find myself looking for more makeup and love that its eco friendly
I would love to try the facial moisture cream stuffed inside the Donna bag. Everything looks beautiful, and I love the eco friendly make up!
The goats and roses bar! Looking forward to seeing more actual product pictures on the website.
So hard to choose…I am digging the Retro Kim Bag and my legs sure would love some unscented shave – reformulated! I’ve got sensitive skin that is uuber irish (read: pasty pale!)
BOth Companies are very innovative. I love the commitment to natural products and ingedients. I like the variety of products and creative ideas like the Lip Balm Party. I want to try the “Between Friends” serum. I have had adult acne all my life (except when I was pregnant!) so I am always looking for ways to help my older skin without causeing a breakout.
contest entry (is this how I do it?) It wasn’t clear where to enter.
I’d like perfect finish foundation from Ilus Elu in my stocking and a Donna Bag from DiVina.
My skin type is normal.
Thank you!
Great websites! I’d love to try the mineral eyeshadow and liner. I’ve yet to get on the mineral makeup train, but I’ve been dying to. Also the Cindy bag is very, very nice. Sensitive, combination, olive-toned skin over here.
I love that the makeup is so natural. There is not a lot of truly natural makeup, even today with all the information we have about chemicals, etc. I’ll definitely be ordering from Ilus Elu!
By the way, my skin is combination and sensitive, medium toned and I can’t wait to try the mineral makeup, especially the eyeshadow and foundation.
On the Ilus Elu website: I really like the idea of a natural bug spray. We go out hiking/camping and need something for my and my son’s delicate skin. I also like their lavender toner – lavender is one of my favourite scents.
On the DiVina/DeNuevo site: I love the Retro Kim handbag!
Love the lemonade purses and can never get enough organic make up
I love the Retro Kim bag but I know
my daughter would say the ladybug bag is the absolute best and it would be her choice for me!! I would like to try the goats milk and roses bar of soap, the between friends serum and the lip gloss. My skin is normal type. I didn’t see any on the site but would be interested in mascara as well.
I would really love to find the scarab mineral eye shadow under my tree this year for Christmas. My skin is dry to medium fair. It will be used wholeheartedly.
The Donna handbag is a favorite one I would love to own.
I’m excited to check out Ilus Elu’s stuff, thanks for getting their name out there. I love the range of unscented and organic bath/shower options, and the eye shadows look like fun too! I also like the Donna and Cupcake Jane bags from DiVina/DiNuevo.
Dear Santa.
I’ve been a good girl all year – I’ve gone to the gym as many times as I could force myself and eaten only the barest minimum of chocolate at Halloween.
Please can I have the Anna bag from DiVina/DeNuevo, the facial moisturizer and the Healer’s Hand Balm from Ilus Elu?
I promise to eat only one serving of Turkey and not to overdo the brandy tart.
Many thanks and Merry Christmas to you and the missus from me and mine.
I would love to try all the eco friendly make up from Ilus Elu . It sounds like wonderful stuff and my old skin needs all natural as much as possible.
I love the Donna handbag from Devina/DeNuevo site. But I also like a few of the others too.
The Luc(k)y 13 bag is divine and would go so well with the only stylish winter dress I own, which is red! I would love to try to perfect finish foundation, and could definitely use some help determining which colour would be best for my skin tone. Eggplant mineral liner would also add some glam to make my wished for holiday outfit complete!
My wish list would include luscious lippy colour balm (healthy lips), pomegranite moisturizer, lavender toner, hemp harmony soap and between friends serum. combination skin for me!
Ooh… I would love to pack the lip balms and the mineral eyliners from Ilus Elu into that stylish Anna bag by DiVina DeNuevo this holiday season!
I love these websites! My favourite bag is the ‘Anna’, but to be honest they are all beautiful. As a new mom, I want to wear make up that my daughter could lick off my face (literally at her age). I would love to try their perfect finish foundation to hide the dark circles under my eyes. I think the face sample kit is a great idea because it lets you try all the different cleaners and moisturizers before ordering a big bottle. I have fair, sensitive skin. Happy holidays!
I would be very interested in trying out their makeup line. I am starting to become very conscious about the makeup I buy these days, but still find it hard to come across stuff that truely is make pure!
The soothing souffle would be great for winter skin.
Some Goats & Roses soap sounds intriguing on my normal skin!
I have been coveting Ilus Elu products for quite some time, I rarely wear make-up because it’s hard to find stuff that doesn’t bother my sensitive skin or irritate my eyes, I suspect Ilus Elu could be the answer to that problem. And I am partial to the jane bags, particularly country jane, I love that they are eco-friendly. My skin is fair, combination
what a great price! I’d love to try some of these products
ever since my baby was born I forgot all about pampering myself, who has the time? i should do it more though and these seems really great products
I’d love to try some of their makeup product, probably more respectful of skin that your average cosmetic
I can use some help in the make up department! these seem like wonderful products, i would be very interested in trying them. and I really love the bags too, they have personality
Wonderful Sites! I must say I would love to get the cleansing milk and moisturizer in my stocking as well as the luscious lippy lip balm in a pink to go with my fair complexion :)The Queen Betty clutch is gorgeous, love the lady kim handbag as well.
I’d like to try the Just Plain Milk soap. I like basic soap…nothing fancy. My skin is pretty sensitive, so I avoid harsh scrubs and scents. I love the Lady Kim bag…the black and white with a pop of colour is brilliant.
I would love the Anna Bag from DiVina/DeNuevo and from Ilus Elu I would love the mineral eye shadow in Seashell and Heather and their luscious lippy colour balm in Bare Lips as well as a close shave . All their products look great and it would be awesome to find products to love without the chemicals. I have combination skin that’s fair.
The mineral eye shadow looks very pretty and the Pomegranate Moisturizer sounds awesome from Ilus Elu. The Country Jane bag from DiVina/DeNuevo is so sweet and being ecofriendly and hand made is very attractive. (ps..i’m even skin toned)
Between friends serum is intriguing, I’d love to try these products on my normal skin as I try and steer away from chemicals.
