So it is that time of the year, wonderful time of the year, my favourite time of the year – Green Beauty Yearly Favourites time of the year. If Green Life In Dublin Green Beauty Awards existed, these would be it! So let’s get started, shall we? We all know I love to talk and to review good products, so majority of them will have reviews either on their own, or as part of Favourites posts – so be sure to hit that search box either here or in my previous blog with 400+ posts here. Just a reminder, my skin is dry, uber sensitive and dermatitis prone. Hair is thin, but lots of it, with a sensitive scalp to boot. Lucky girl, I know 🙂
(Full disclosure, some, but not all, of the links are affiliate links, and I thank You for using them - they are at no extra cost to you as a consumer. All products mentioned here are tested thoroughly by me, and truly my Holy Grail products - I would never recommend anything that isn't my true favourite. Some of the products date back for years and haven't left my Yearly Favourites for well, years! I also want to point out that Google collects data while you browse my blog, but I think we all know that at this point.
MOISTURISER
- Bella Aura Daily Repair Moisturiser
- Bella Aura Night Cellular Renewal
My Holy Grail skincare line, see review here.
*Update on why I no longer stand by this brand, even though I still think their products are fantastic here, scroll down to the very end.
Holy Grail prior discovering Bella Aura, but still a Hero in winters due to richness, when the temps really drop. See review here.
FACIAL OIL
All amazing for different reasons, but I LOVE them equally. Mahalo has a review here, all others are still waiting their turn. After being a face oil fiend for years and years, I had to give them up due to developing dermatitis (which hates oils) but I still add them for winter, when my skin isn’t coping very well on it’s own in the harsh elements.
WATER/ ALOE BASED SERUM
OIL BASED SERUM
Healing BALM
- Mahalo Rare Indigo
- May Lindstrom Blue Cocoon
Please let me explain why I chose these balms that are both uber expensive – it is purely because I need all the healing help I can get with my dermatitis, which sometimes flares up for no apparent reason, and blue tansy, which is present in both products, seems to be the magic that heals my skin. It is my face after all! While Mahalo Rare Indigo is a firm fave for the last three years (just check my 2017 & 2016 Favourites posts), I wanted to change things up a bit this year and purchased Blue Cocoon, which seems to be equally impressive. Pricy as they are, both jars last a year, which makes me justify the price point for them. I see more blue balms popping here and there, so I intend to try more of them out.
LIP BALM
ACNE TREATMENT
DERMATITIS TREATMENT
All seriously the best from what I have tried.

Kimberly Sayer is what I used for the last four years or so, but it might be overthrown by the next two, which are newer discoveries, but oh-so-impressive. I’ll talk about them soon. W3LL People, if you are reading this, come back to EU! I’ll campaign to make it happen if I’ll need to!

I hope this was in any way interesting and/or helpful to you, and if it leads to at least one person finding a good product, then my work is done. Please be on the lookout for the reviews of many of these products, and let me know your favourites as well, so I could check them out!
If anyone’s interested you can check my 2017 Yearly Favourites here and 2016 ones here.
Lots of Love,
Renata.
Love Lula? 100+ posts much in my case! No, really, just check this FB album here. A long time fan and a customer before I joined their blogger family, I can honestly say that Renata the regular customer was treated no different than Renata The Blogger – always with respect and with the highest standards of care. So it is safe to say my love for this online shop is 100 real! Let’s see what I picked up this month?
