• a new post on the @abhatisuisse SURYA Balancin • a new post on the @abhatisuisse SURYA Balancing Shampoo Bar is up on the blog! In my review I go over some tips and tricks to help make your shampoo bar experience a more effective one, and I also break down my results by the initial days and weeks when I first started using this bar. The new review is linked in my bio, or you can hop over to greenbymercy.com! 🖐
// LIGHT & STARK - a limited edition @theboxwalla // LIGHT & STARK - a limited edition @theboxwalla skincare box in collaboration with @starkskincare! Firstly, let me share the good news that as I post this, this limited edition box is still in stock at the Boxwalla shop! There are likely only a few left, and once these are gone they are *gone*, so for those interested I recommend buying a box while you can. I'm beyond ecstatic over this collaboration as Stark has been one of my favorite skincare brands since 2017, with many of her products landing HG status for me. I'm so drawn to the concept of her products being ideal for city dwellers (antioxidant-rich, barrier strengthening, all that good stuff that treats/prevents damage oft caused by environmental aggressors) and I appreciate that her formulas are high performance, micro-batch and made with quality ingredients, but are rounded out by her mid-range prices. If you're curious on how she's able to keep her prices low, she expounds on much of this on her YouTube channel. WHAT'S IN THE BOX | three full-size products to cleanse, hydrate and treat: ▫️ECLIPSE Enzymatic Cleanse + Mask - a micro-foaming pH-balanced gel that gently cleanses away the day's grime without stripping the skin, and also doubles as a mask. It's made with exfoliating enzymes to smooth and soften skin, charcoal powder to detoxify, green tea for antioxidants, and white willow bark for deep pore cleansing. I love that this cleanser is powerful enough for a night time double cleanse, but also gentle enough for mornings to freshen + prep skin for products. Great for in-shower use and it's so travel friendly! Eclipse is cardamom scented and it's absolutely delicious. ▫️EVERLASTING Calm + Soothe Infusion - an oil-free, EO-free hydrating serum made with humectants & anti-inflammatory/healing ingredients for plump, soothed skin. Hero ingredients include helichrysum, chamomile, milk thistle, sodium PCA, green tea, and edelweiss. Everlasting has a thin essence-like consistency that absorbs beautifully, leaving no tackiness in sight. It has a slight blue tint and a super fresh scent. Continued below 👇
• green for days! @cocokind’s chlorophyll mask • green for days! @cocokind’s chlorophyll mask is made with organic chlorophyll powder, organic spirulina powder, and organic wheatgrass powder - blended together to make a formula that cleanses, purifies and detoxifies the skin. I haven’t used this mask yet but I couldn’t help myself but to play around with it for #texturetuesday! How many of you enjoy this one? What other chlorophyll products (or perhaps drinks!) do you like? Take 10% off all products at Cocokind with code GREENBYMERCY10 ▫️ link in bio to shop! 🖐
• skincare for the modern minimalist As a beaut • skincare for the modern minimalist As a beauty brand, @berlin.skin embraces simplicity and abides by a minimalist ethos, offering a streamlined collection of luxurious plant-based skincare products designed to complement a minimalist's lifestyle. Minimalism, as a philosophy, has been passed down to founder Monica Watson through generations of her family and it's her grandmother who inspired the creation of Berlin Skin, having taught Monica that less is more when it comes to skincare, long before it became trendy. I first got my hands onto a few Berlin Skin products not long after the brand launched in 2017, having reviewed their original three product line-up on the blog when their sole collection consisted of their Coconut + Aloe Cleanser, Geranium + Rose Toner, and Sandalwood Cream. In the years since, they've expanded to cover more product categories to include a serum, a facial mask, an eye cream, and a body oil. Berlin Skin uses organic, local and wildcrafted ingredients when possible and embraces a middle-ground approach by including lab-made ingredients when a more sustainable + safer approach is necessary. Plants will always be at the core of their formulas. I've recently joined the Berlin Skin community as a brand ambassador and was gifted the beautiful Blue Tansy Cream and Cocoa Eye Butter you see above. The Blue Tansy Cream is everything I hoped for and more - it's a lightweight anti-inflammatory formula with hydrating + skin plumping properties and it's scented in the best blue tansy you've ever smelled. The Cocoa Eye Butter is equally delectable with its whipped pudding consistency, leaving the eye area nourished and as soft as a baby's butt can be! Berlin Skin has generously provided me with an affiliated discount code to share with you all - code MERCY20 will take 20% off on all products at the Berlin Skin store. If you have any Q's on the products I've mentioned above, feel free to ask or shoot me a DM!

• my introduction to @tailaskincare, a beauty br • my introduction to @tailaskincare, a beauty brand rooted in the practice of Ayurveda and botanical medicine. Taila so generously gifted me two of their products to try, including their facial mist and detoxifying mask. ▫️Vayu Illuminating Toning Mist - a hydrating, soothing facial mist formulated to energize and illuminate the complexion. Its ingredient deck is fairly simple/minimal, consisting of flower waters (tulsi and rose), glycerin, cucumber extract, and aloe. I find it so light and refreshing, especially for mornings where I just want a nice, cool mist to lay down before I apply the rest of my skincare. I'm crazy for the rose scent - this particular variety of rose actually smells like cinnamon to me, so I love that you get a slightly sweet & spicy scent to go along with the cool and refreshing properties of the mist. ▫️Nava Jungol Detoxifying Jungle Mask - a powerfully potent and nutritious face mask formulated to detoxify, exfoliate, brighten, and renew. This mask is honey-based, which provides a nourishing & healing antimicrobial delivery system for rest of the ingredients, which next includes glycerin and clays, orange peel, clarifying black cumin seed oil, exfoliating papaya seed, neem oil, turmeric, clove, sage, cucumber and spinach. Nava Jungol also provides physical exfoliation, contaning gentle granular bits for sloughing away excess dead skin cells. Your first impression of this mask will be met by its scent of clove bud oil - its potent, but deliciously sweet and spicy and its one scent that I actually don't mind to linger after I rinse the mask off. Then, after application, you'll be met by a tingling sensation, intended to stimulate blood flow for nutrient delivery, and a pink complexion which in my case makes me look healthier! (If you're sensitive and not familiar with masks that induce this kind of sensation, you might find this mask to feel strong or potentially irritating.) Nava Jungol is rich and indulgent, and something that I will come to use as a special and luxurious treat when my skin is dull, congested and in need of revitalization. I'm definitely keen on trying their Nayana Eye Balm and Mukha Botanical Cleanser next! 👀
• how smooth and creamy is the Intense Overnight • how smooth and creamy is the Intense Overnight Mask from @votarylondon?! This exquisite mask is featured in the latest @theboxwalla beauty box (subs are still open - link in bio!) alongside their Brightening Hyaluronic Serum, a perfect pairing for achieving a more even-toned, smooth and radiant complexion. This treatment mask is designed for PM use as an overnight leave-on, meaning you’ll use it essentially as your moisturizer or as your last step in a skincare routine. It’s aloe based and key ingredients include rosehip fruit oil, tomato seed oil, sodium hyaluronate, daffodil extract, oat kernel flour, quinoa, camu camu, and buriti fruit oil among others. As an overnight leave-on, results will be most noticeable in the morning after you wake up. For me, I wake up with incredibly soft and glowing skin, especially when having used the serum + mask combo together. I think my adoration for this mask, and the serum, grows every time I use them! I have a full review on this box linked in my bio! 🖐
