Well, after catching a fierce cold after doing a old nighter photo shoot, and days in bed sick (cough cough!) I decided to treat myself a little and see if I could get myself back amongst the land of the living. I thought a little beauty R&R would do me some good.
Hmm, I’ll have some german chocolate cake please!
Sounds good huh? Well, it’s not really what you think.
I decided on some body & bath R & R.
Enters Inky Loves Nature’s “Warrior Queen Cleanser”. At first, it took me awhile to figure out what cleanser this was. Small print on the hang tag finally told me it was “Peppermint Dark Chocolate” only after I poured out the cleanser. A thick dark chocolate brown cleanser left me a little startled and well, I won’t tell you what I was thinking. The chocolatey scent saved the day. Detergent free, this super light foam (don’t expect much lather) left my skin soft and smelling like chocolate heaven with it’s 100% Vegan and with ingredients listed as: Coconut milk, dark chocolate extract, green tea extract, egyptian peppermint and chocolate aroma.
Well, a girl’s just gotta be feeling a little better after that.
Then came the Ginger Sweet Coconut “Magical Melanin Moisturizer”. This stuff is so thick, I couldn’t get anything to come out of the pump, and squeezing it through the open bottle was like squeezing out cookie dough. Super thick, and super organic. Organic oats, coconut milk, coconut extract, maple extract and ginger gets skin super smooth, yet slippery which took a long time to sink into the skin.
Though the little glitzes (small print and somewhat unappealing look and thickness of the products) made me hesitant, the scent and super natural concepts of Leesah B. (it’s creator) leave me applauding. Where else will you find a brand whose motto is:
NO synthetic colors, DEAs, SLS, Sulfates, Urea, Mineral Oil, Petroleum, Parabens or Formaldehyde donars. And ALL of her products are totally committed to being 100% exclusively certified Vegan (NO animal derived ingredients -this includes NO Honey , Silk or Beeswax) and she is proud to be a 100% Black owned (BOCC), 100% woman owned and 100% hands on company. She donates 1% of her annual net revenue to support small African communities, the Environment and helping her animal friends. This means when you buy an inky product, you contribute too. And all Inky Loves Nature products are 100% guaranteed.
Ya just gotta love that!
just to let you know I am calling my self this label as it is a close rels nick name. I am not a ‘Troll’ in the internet sense of the word.
How ever i do have A gipe. We recieved a set of samples today. The are no lables stating the ingredients so I cannot allow the 11 yr old who ordered them to use them.. Bella donna is “100%” natural but it is not safe. Talk about buyer beware. These products are a law suit waiting to happen. They seem to originate from the USA. I thought you people had more sense. Of is this just a deliberate rip off?
Hi Troll Mother,
You could get an ingredient list by contacting the company Inky Loves Nature (http://inkylovesnature.com/contacts) or by calling them on 1 800 809 4659 perhaps! Sorry, I am unfamiliar with Bella Donna?
My son suffers from dry and rashy skin, a vegan friend of mine recomended “inky” as an alternative to “cortezones” and other unnatural remedies. I of couse used it first and was impressed at how good the “Self Love Body Scrub” performed. My son is now rash-free and loves the “Warrior Queen Cleanser” chocolate peppermint.
Hi Folks my site does support and sponsor ‘Inky Loves Nature Products for it’s benefits and for the pure ingredients she uses of course some people aren’t satisfied with the thickness of organic products,firstly because they are fresh and pure and secondly not treated with all the artificial gook that most consumers are used too. I’ll take organic anytime just because it’s no artificial ingredients anywhere here!! And thirdly we didn’t maim or kill anybodies cattle ,sheep or lambs to make some money!! Hooray for Inky Loves Nature!! PPS: We do plant trees for every purchase made!!
Queenbey,
These products are just great! I wish more people would see why its important to use products like these. I’m glad you support and sponsor them. That’s just wonderful :)
