Yes To

Mimi Kelly is the artistic director/owner of Killer Hair, Newton. She’s an award-winning hair colourist and makeup artist. Every week Mimi will be doing what she does best ... give her opinion. We all know the feeling of too much week, not enough paycheck. I mean a girls gotta save for the important things in life... the hottest new lip shade, a new summer shoe, a Parisian holiday. Looking for ways to save on essentials is just plain smart and so I was all 'YAY' when the latest product to hit the shelves crossed my desk. 'YES TO,' that's its name, and it comes in 5 tasty collections: YES TO Carrots, YES TO Cucumber, YES TO Tomato, YES TO Baby Carrots and YES TO Blueberries, caring for the world's varying skin types. The range was created by two good bro buddies wanting an effective, natural skin care line that's both affordable and ethical. YES TO combines organic fruits and veges with a mineral elixir sourced from the Dead Sea. They do not test on animals, they all have recyclable packaging, and contain at least 95% natural ingredients, free from parabens, petroleum, and other nasties and all made in San Francisco. YES TO help make a difference in the lives of others through sustainable agriculture with a portion of all sales dedicated to the YES TO carrots seed fund. I tried the YES TO Carrots range and I'm currently loving YES TO Carrots Daily Cream Facial Cleanser. It has an amazing creamy texture and is seriously effective, leaving my face soft and hydrated. Plus the bottle is nice and big, and affordable $19.99 for 170mls. Also YES TO Carrots Nourishing Daily Facial Moisturizer with SPF15, is light and quickly absorbed but felt a little dry. That would be the zinc oxide mineral that acts as a sunscreen so with that in mind definitely something I could get used to it at $29.99 Possibly my favourite of the bunch is YES TO Carrots Nourishing Super Rich Body Butter. It has a light soufflé-like texture, it must be those dead sea minerals that rejuvenate your skin in seconds and leave you with a satin-smooth healthy glow. Also $19.99. It's stocked through out the USA in the iconic beauty superstore Sephora, but you can get it here at Countdown from Oct1st. Exciting! xxMimi
