FACEFACTS
by Lori founded by Lori Hoffman in 2005. Only the finest ingredients are used,
the entire line being 100% all natural, organic and cruelty free. This ecofriendly and environmentally conscious
cosmetics company brings a product line to the forefront with most luxurious
ingredients and keeps our carbon footprint to a minimum. I
had the opportunity to sample several products from this company and I would
like to share my thoughts and feelings on them.
FACEFACTS
Refreshing Shower & Bath Gel $25.50
INGREDIENTS:
ALOE BARBADENSIS (ALOE VERA), LEAF JUICE, DECYL GLUCOSIDE,
COCAMIDOPROPYL BEAINAMIDE MEA CHLORIDE, HYDROXYETHYLCELLULOSEM GLUCONOLACTONE,
SOIUM BENZOATEM CITRUS PARADISI (PINK GRAPEFRUIT) OIL, CITRUS AURANTIFOLIA
(LIME) OIL, BACKHOUSIA CITRIODORA (LEMON MYRTLE) OIL, CANANGA ODORATA (YLAND
YLANG) FLOWER OIL, ZINGIBER OFFICINATE (GINGER) ROOT OIL, VETIVERIA ZIZANLOIDES
(VERIVERT) ROOT OIL
This
gel is created with some of the most hydrating and fragrant ingredients like
Aloe Vera, citrus and flower oils. The packaging is classy and would look
lovely in any bathroom. When I first pumped
this body wash into my loofa, the incredible scent literally filled my
shower. I am a huge fan of all things
citrus and when I say that this scent is among the finest I have ever smelled,
I mean it. For a brief second I didn’t
know if I wanted to eat my loofa or wash with it! The flower undertone is also mixed in. This formula is an amazing combination of the
two. The bath gel created a rich lather
and left my skin feeling invigorated.
There was no itchy residue on my skin, which is extremely
important. I left the shower feeling squeaky
clean, moisturized, and with a lovely, light perfume to my skin. This cleanser is a gem.
FACEFACTS
Handcrafted scented soap- Pomegranate & Pear $7.50
INGREDIENTS:
SAPONIFIED OILS OF OLIVE, COCONUT, PALM AND GRAPESEED VITIS VINIFERA,
SPRING WATER, ALL NATURAL POMEGRANATE PEAR FRAGRENCE OIL, GROUND MINERAL FOR
COLOR (OXIDES).
This
gorgeous soap looks like a marbleized bar of heaven. The packaging looks as beautiful the soap
itself. The colors are comforting and
soothing, almost so much that I didn’t want to open it. Once I unpackaged it, I was happy I did. The scent of this bar soap is so delicious
that you want to take a bite right out of it.
I used this primarily as hand soap, this way I was able to use it quite
often. Unlike other popular name brand
hand soaps, this leaves your hands extremely moisturized. There was absolutely no need to use a hand
cream after using this, which for me is a first. The fragrance left on my skin after was soft
and pleasant but in no way over powering.
Like the shower and bath gel, this too is a gem. As a side note, my husband is currently
obsessed with this bar, the rants about it with every use, and I agree.

The
complete line of lip liners include five tones which all are incredibly
beautiful. I sampled three colors, Plum,
Hazelnut and Praline. This lip liner
packaging is a beautiful metallic burgundy that really stands out and catches
the eye. The formula was the perfect
softness to line the lips, not too soft where it’s difficult to use without
overusing the product, and not too hard where you’d have to press into the lips
to see the color. I loved this lip liner,
the color and texture is just perfect.
Soft Autumn, Bronze Shimmer, Ivory Frost, Almond Cream and Plum Brandy |

Soft Autumn, Bronze Shimmer, Ivory Frost, Almond Cream and Plum Brandy |
The
complete line of lip stick colors currently consists of eight beautiful and
rich tones that, in my opinion, would look good on just about anyone. I choose five colors, even though each would
have been my pleasure! The colors I
received were Soft Autumn, Bronze shimmer, Ivory Frost, Almond Cream and Plum
Brandy. The box each lipstick comes in is created with 100% renewable energy, i.e.
wind power/green energy. The paperboard
is Elemental Chlorine Free and 100% recyclable.
The tube is a beautiful metallic maroon with the companies gold
insignia. “Extremely Elegant “ should be
in their slogan along with “Naturally Elegant” if you ask me! The lipstick has an extremely lovely earthy smell. When applying it, you know you are putting
the good stuff on. The color is very
pigmented and true to the color you see in the reference pictures. These lipsticks have a matte finish with a
creamy appearance. My lips were very moisturized while using this
product as well. One thing that caught
me by surprise was the longevity of the color.
This color lasted for hours and hours.
I applied this lipstick at 8:00am and the color lasted well into the
afternoon hours. I have to be honest,
not being a chemist and all, I would have thought for a lipstick to be long
wearing, you would have to use all sorts of chemicals to achieve this. LIPFACTS shows us that this isn’t the
case. This line is free of parabens,
petrolatum, mineral oil, and LEAD! Long
wear lipsticks have been known to contain high levels of lead as the FDA has
recently warned us of as of late. Overall,
I’d say this lipstick is really awesome!
I
am happy and honored to give a glowing report to this remarkable company. With
quality products and an amazing dedication to our environment, I look forward
to the future of FACEFACTS AND LIPFACTS. I am excited to see their increasing
line, which will eventually include, CHEEKFACTS, HAIRFACTS, EYEFACTS, SKINFACTS
AND BODYFACTS.
