Before I was pregnant I always heard things like “you can’t
wear makeup during pregnancy because it’s not good for the baby to consume the
chemicals etc”. It was a relief that I consulted with the doctor and he said it’s
practically safe to wear makeup during pregnancy, however there are some
ingredients that should be avoided and perhaps it is better to wear organic
products. So, after some research I found this organic brand Naturaglace from
Japan and slowly I’d started to go organic, starting with makeup.
Naturaglace is made of 100% natural and organic ingredients.
Their products do not contain synthetic surfactant, synthetic polymers,
silicon, tar colorant, synthetic preservatives, synthetic fragrances or mineral
oils (harsh chemicals free).
Below are the 4 organic cosmetic products that I use almost daily:
<Makeup Cream SPF30 PA ++>
This is an all in one base that helps adjust colour unevenness, it is made up of three different
pearl powders that helps cover bumps and pores in the skin. Once blended, it gives
you an instant glow. This cream is SPF30 PA++ so you don't have to worry about applying another layer of sunscreen.
Price: JPY 2800 + Tax
<Pure BB Cream SPF34 PA ++>
This is a moisturising BB cream as it speaks for it's name! It has a non-sticky
texture that covers dullness and visible pores.
Comes in two shades - NB0 and NB1.
I purchased the darker shade NB1 for my skin tone. Usually I
apply it with a brush and blend, the texture is a little thick but a little goes a long way and it finishes with a radiant look. The coverage is medium and also able to cover the redness around my nose.
Price: JPY 2800 + Tax
<Cheek Colour Cream>
Available
in 3 shades PK, AP, CO. The shade I got is CO for Coral. I really like the creamy texture, it's easy to blend and buildable and gives a natural
look.
Price: JPY 3200 + Tax
<Rouge Drop Lipstick>
Lastly, this Rouge
Drop lipstick uses organic ingredients and has a sheer texture and glides on
smoothly which is also quite moisturising.
Though it has a limited colour range, the colour I picked RD01 is suitable for day and night, it gives you a natural red as the red has a sense of transparency and I think this colour was perfect for me for normal daily use.
Price: JPY 3200 + Tax
To conclude, I’m very impressed with these organic makeup products and love
their natural ingredients, it makes me feel safe using these products during
pregnancy knowing that I'm not passing any harsh chemicals to the baby and even if I'm not pregnant I would continue to use organic products because it's gentler on the skin and why would one want to use harsh chemicals on your skin that are not only dangerous to your health but also rough on your skin?
All of Naturaglace products can be removed by just soap and water which is
absolutely safe for sensitive skin or during pregnancy. They are also made in
Japan and I purchased them in Okinawa, Japan.
However, they are also available in Hong Kong from BEYORG.
