Review: Sevi Creamy Face Cleanser
What They Say: "specially designed for people with sensitive skin this soap and surfactant free cleanser is formulated with Echinacea, Chamomile, certified Organic Aloe Vera and Sea Buckthorn Berry CO2 to promote smooth and clean skin.
Thoroughly cleans skin and removes dirt and make up without drying skin."
Jen's Experience: This is the first product I've tried in this line, and so far I'm impressed with this creamy cleanser. Since my skin is very sensitive, I really have trouble finding cleansers that work with my skin. Normally, they either make me break out or get very dry. My skin is neither now that I've been using this product for a month or so. While the cleanser is very creamy, I definitely feel like it's doing the job; it's got a slight little tingle that tells me that it's working. Since it's creamy, I found it a little difficult to remove with just water -- you'll definitely need a washcloth.
Need another great reason to use this product? It's earth-friendly, vegan, and cruelty-free!

Review: Sevi Cosmetics Java Bean Lip Balm
What They Say: "Craving coffee? Try one of our freshly brewed vegan lip balm handmade in small batches and with protective ingredients and certified organic coffee beans!
A must have for all coffee lovers!"
Jen's Experience: I hate the thought of getting addicted to balms, and I tend to avoid them unless I absolutely have to use them. But when the weather turned colder these past couple of weeks, I just had to use something, and I was really glad I had this on hand. I received this lip balm as a full-sized sample with some Sevi products I ordered as Christmas presents, and I really couldn't be happier with it. It really works to soften up my lips and prevent the flaking that occurs, but I don't have to carry it around and constantly re-apply. I put it on in the morning and occasionally at night, and my lips are back to normal (which is always a bit dry to me, but a little I can handle). It also works well as a first layer when I'm wearing a lipstick so that it goes on more evenly. I am not a huge fan of coffee flavors in general, but if you're a coffee fan you may very well love the taste as well. Even for non-coffee lovers, you'll find the taste is tolerable I think when you see the wonders it does for your lips.

Review: Sevi Mineral Powder Foundation
What They Say: "Safe and healthy loose mineral foundations made with pure pigments -- free from artificial fragrances or essential oils, bismuth oxychloride, animal by products (carmine), talc, preservatives such as parabens and FD&C dyes.
16 unique shades, mostly yellow based, without excess shimmer and glow -- our foundation is buildable yet does not require the use of a finishing powder to complete the look. We have many shades that cater to women of color and will be adding a few more..."
Melissa's DeLush Downlow: Since I've begun using this mineral foundation I've been hooked. This is a TRULY non-irritating and non-orangey mineral powder formula. The fact that many of the Sevi shades are slightly yellow-based works to my benefit. The shade I have is actually 715, described as a light neutral olive. It blends perfectly and invisibly into my skin and helps to camouflage darkness under the eyes.
I love the perfect soft-focus look and the fact that there is no glitter or sheen. My skin looks healthy and stays fresh for pretty much the entire day. I don't looked cakey or powdery. My hair stylist even asked me last week what kind of foundation I was wearing as she was washing my hair under the bright salon lights! She said she absolutely loved how CLEAN and natural the finish was.
I also use their angled brush instead of the foundation brush to apply the foundation, but no matter which you use, each brush is incredibly soft, gentle, and provides a smooth even application (AND they are made of synthetic Taklon and thus are animal hair-free).
Retail Price: $25.00 (at sevicosmetics.com - you can also get shade samples for $2.50 each OR $35.00 for one of every shade!)
