Cheeky Maiden Soap Co.
First to recommend
Description
This is proof that God hears my prayers. I've been looking for soaps that can act as complexion bars and had neem (an Indian leaf which is great for the complexion) in it, and my OCD insists that all skin products should come from the same company and this company excels in products outside of soaps. I bought the Complexion Bar, Sugar Scrub and Whipped Body Butter, as well as the Mango Mama Belly Butter. These products were amazing -- my skin cleared up, and because I have dry skin as well the scrub and the butters were great. And the price is so reasonable. Definitely lower band but amazing results! Must, must, must try!

Beyond Coastal Active Daily Sunscreen SPF 30

Description
I can't believe how long it has taken me to find a suncreen that was natural but I did. And I am only 2 years behind the original poster (!). These products are fantastic and what I love the most is that there isn't countless products to confuse you. Select few that are crucial and clearly well-researched products. The best part -- at a reasonable price (you can find far more expensive sun care products with practically zero natural ingredients). This is a must-buy for anyone. Maybe they'll create an SPF100 product soon because that'd be great for my skin!

Description
So if you're allergic to bees, honey or beeswax -- this product is not for you. But for the rest, these are definitely a must-try products and great for gifts. The home grown honey and beeswax is the basis for all their products. Their collections include bath and body products, baby skin care, gardener's skin care, honey as well as health supplements. I only tried their skin care range and I did try and eat it but common sense prevailed and I didn't.
The price range is in the lower-medium band, with a few products a little on the expensive side but that's to be expected. I used the Honey & Brown Sugar Scrub and Goat Milk & Honey Hand & Body Lotion in Orange Ginger and they were just fabulous for the skin -- no stickiness or greasiness. Just very comfortable and smells so good.
You can also adopt a hive, which I think is a pretty good thing since I'd like this company to stick around and it can be our contribution to society since bees are disappearing. There we go -- good skin care and you get to help the environment!

Their lip balm has already been recommended but the company has branched out into moisturisers and balms for the skin. I used their Hand Jam and Lotion Bar and they are fantastic. Not remotely greasy, though if you don't like wax-based products, this is not for you since their is usually a slight wax residue (which is great for protecting but not so great for functioning with). More of a night product. Definitely worth trying!

Health from the Hive is there super-cute slogan and their products are equally cute while being really good to use. They aren't a 100% natural from what I understand but they are really good and smell divine (the honey base may have something to do with that). I got the High Five set as a present and it contained their hand lotion, shampoo, conditioner, body balm and face cream. So far I've only used their hand lotion, conditioner and balm so far and while the results aren't groundbreaking, they are really comfortable to use. The price range is in the lower band, which is another plus in this company's corner. Must try!

Billion Dollar Brows
First to recommend
Description
In addition to my unhealthy obsession with organic cosmetics, I have an unhealthy obsession with eyebrows too. And this is something my brows can't do without. I use their Brow Boost, Brow Shine and Brow Highlighter Duo and they are fantastic because while they won't miraculously give you eyebrows, they will give you the groomed appearance without being obvious. Sadly it's not organic or natural but it is still good -- I use the Brow Boost beneath the Brow Shine. The prices range is in the lower medium band. The company also makes mascara, brow powders and brow tints but I haven't tried those. They also have salons all over America (and I love the owner's blog -- who rather than dishing out general advice about eyebrows, she devises on the basis of individual faces). Definite Must Have's (especially the Brown Shine & Brow Boost)!

The most expensive cosmetics I own and the only products I do not feel any real guilt over. I bought this two months ago (and believe me it is worth it). With a hefty price tag nearly $300 for two products, it needs to be an amazing product. This is the mother of all eyelash and eyebrow growth products. Talika dulls in comparison since the product is a disappointment and finishes quickly and you end up spending that much anyway by re-buying over the months.
These products last upto 5 months (so it says on the label) -- I've been using it for two months, regularly at night and my lashes and eyebrows are incredible (I made a huge mistake by bleaching my lashes and brows -- I was trying to get them to match my brown hair, suffice to say: HUGE mistake -- and using acrylic and alcohol-based products which destroyed my lashes and brows). The products are still quite full so I am guessing the five-month estimate is accurate (will update that at the 5 month mark).
Given that estimate the product is about $30 a month, which is fine by me when it does its job so well. Must, must, must-have!

Earthnicity Natural Mineral Makeup
First to recommend
Description
I was looking for a company that only sold pure mineral pigments to replace my main make-up (eyeshadow etc) since they have really long life, even more so when you put them in the fridge. I found this uk-based mineral pigment company and they make the basics -- the mineral eyeshadows, concealer, foundations, blusher & bronzer, and finishing powder. I've only used the eyeshadow and concealer so far but the eyeshadows, just to clarify, are intense pigments more suited for the night than day. They mix easily and are really easy to use -- definitely something add to your cosmetic bag!

A recent find -- a company that specialises in face, hand and feet tools. The usual: tweezers, brow groomers, eyelash curlers, nail files, nail buffers, nail clippers, cuticle sticks, foot rasps, callous shavers etc. I love their products; it's a simple line (I don't like the lines that have 10 different products that do the same things), colourful and fantastically functionally. I carry their Smart Shaper (nail cleaner, cuticle pusher and nail file in one) and Lash Lover (a lash comb, fantastic for clearing clumps post-mascara application) at all times. Super convenient and quirky. Definite must-haves!

Tamz Your Flyawayz
First to recommend
Description
The only nightmare I have about this product is that I can't read the ingredients so I can't tell you if it's organic but it is fantastic. Great way to tame flyaways without the use of styling products and you can used it as something that can tame your eyebrows too. It's non-greasy and simple to use. And it $8.95, it's a definitely Must Buy!
