Thanks to Thrive & Bigger than Beauty for these products in exchange for a review. All thoughts are my own. |
As a teen and young adult, I didn't really care about my skin's health or even about cosmetics. While most other girls were into perfect hair and lip gloss, I really wasn't. In college, I had basic makeup, but it wasn't until much later that I started to learn about proper application and proper skincare.
Over the years, I've tried various products that have had various side effects and benefits. It's taken me a while to figure out my skin type. During the months when the heat has to be turned on, my skin dries out immensely. Yet, because of humidity and sweat, summer months often bring on the oiliness. Especially when sunscreen is added into the mix.
Recently, I've been looking more into what's in my skincare and cosmetics products. While I'm far from clean living, I do care about what is in products and hope it isn't as harmful as some stuff out there. I've also realized that certain chemicals cause my skin to dry out faster than other types of ingredients.
When I heard about Thrive and their sister skincare line, Bigger Than Beauty, I knew I wanted to find out more. Thrive Causemetics goes beyond offering skincare and makeup to people. They strive to make a difference in the world by helping diverse communities thrive. The World is Bigger Than Beauty, and so are cosmetic products. 100& vegan, free of parabens and sulfates, Bigger Than Beauty and Thrive products exist to help empower the consumer and the communities the consumer revolves around.
This is definitely something that I want to be a part of, for sure! In the holiday season, we see consumerism at its worse. It's nice knowing that a useful beneficial product (okay, not all of us NEED makeup, but I certainly need healthy skin1) can make a difference in the world!
This holiday season, check out one of Bigger Than Beauty's gift sets. These Limited Edition Holiday sets offer both makeup and skincare products that will aid the skin and gift back to the community! For every purchase, Thrive gifts either a monetary donation or a physical product to a partner organization.
I was sent the Bigger Than Beauty Star-Crossed Lovers Mini Trial Set and Limited Edition Liquid Lip Balm in Gingerbread.

- Deluxe Bright Balance™ Hydrating Gel Cleanser (50 mL)
