love + roses

What Is It? An intoxicating, magic-making blend of natural anti-aging beautifiers, essential oils, sacred flower essences, and waters to soften skin and hair.

What It Does: Silkens and tones skin, refreshes weary hair and makeup, uplifts the spirit.  

How to Use? Mist liberally on face, hair, and body for instant hydration and soul-affirming aromatherapy.

The Ritual: Anoint and acknowledge your true worth by misting on face, body, and hair, reciting aloud "I am divine" when each spritz hits your skin. Because, darling, you are.

Rare + Precious

Picked during only  the morning dew, it takes tens of thousands of rose petals  to make just one ounce of the precious rose oil we use in Love + Roses Beauty Mist.

Beautiful + Beneficial

Known for its unparalleled emollient, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory benefits, our mist is brimming with rose essential oil to refine and renew skin at a cellular level. Gentle enough for all skin types, this mist also helps to lower cortisol levels, ease depression and anxiety, and is a scientifically-proven aphrodisiac.

Pretty + Powerful

Moreover, the delicate rose is powerful - it takes only 20 minutes for one drop of rose oil to be absorbed in to skin and communicate its benefits to every cell in your body.

We made  Love + Roses to be practical and luxurious. A convenient spray boasting the premiere anti-aging ingredients often reserved for the most prestige night creams:

Cassia Augustifolia Seed Polysaccharide - Mimics hyaluronic acid to retain water on the surface of the skin and hair.

Rhodiola Rosea Root Extract - A powerhouse adaptogenic herb that protects skin and hair from environmental damage, minimizes fine lines and wrinkles, and assists with stress and fatigue management.

Moringa Seed Extract - A potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory that promotes collagen production, supports skin firmness, and boosts the immune system.

...And some very special extras 

Our mist is infused with the energetic benefits of precious gems, like Rose Quartz essence, which promotes self love, confidence, grace, beauty, weight loss, and self esteem, and Andean Orchid flower essence which promotes youthful vitality and cellular regeneration.

Love + Roses is 100% natural, vegan, cruelty-free, eco-friendly (our glass bottles are reusable and recyclable) and made in small batches with love in the Pacific Northwest.

BEAUTYCOUNTER

We're big fans of this company: Not only are their
products effective and beautifully scented, but they're
setting a new health and safety standard in the process.

"Phthalates, parabens, SLS, BPA, coal tar, 1,4-dioxane...these are just a handful of the controversial cosmetic ingredients whose safety is being called into question by some scientists, researchers, and health-conscious consumers. There's no shortage of unresolved arguments around the safety of these ingredients, but here's what we do know for sure: The United States regulates chemicals in cosmetics far less than you might think. For instance,the European Union has banned more than 1,300 ingredients from cosmetics, and the United States has banned just 11. 

Sobering facts such as that one prompted entrepreneur Gregg Renfrew to start Beautycounter, a new line of nontoxic skin and body care. Beautycounter's formulas are free of all 1,300 ingredients banned by the EU, those restricted in the States, and a list of other chemicals — dubbed the Never List — that may be carcinogenic, irritating, or otherwise damaging to health. What does make it into Beautycounter's formulas: fruit and flower extracts, citrus oils, and herbs meant to keep skin healthy. 

Interested? The line is available online and through consultants — which may prove to be the best way to continue the conversation about chemicals in our cosmetics." And we are consultants! Click the 'buy here' button below to order all your chemical free goodies!

how to do parisian chic

Parisian chic simply wrote the book on street style. Francoise Hardy, Jane Birkin, Brigitte Bardot are classics for us to take inspiration from. The beauty of this particular way of dressing is it never will go out of style. So here are a few points i've taken note on...

*Does It Come in Black? / First things first: let’s talk about color (or, lack thereof). Fling open the doors to a typical Parisian closet and you’ll no doubt be presented with a subdued palette of black, navy, white and beige. It’s far from unimaginative, though. The secret to monochromatic chic is ensuring everything fits as it should. Because that’s when things get interesting: sleeves that graze the wristbone, t-shirts that encompass the perfect amount of stretch and slouch, and a subtly oversized black tux jacket that looks as though you’ve pinched it from your boyfriend’s closet. 

*Staple / The French invest in more expensive pieces, like that of their wine, that get better with age. However you'd like to put it, a 'lived in' or 'loved on' piece is something they take pride in.

“Sometimes it takes me 10 years to own something. It’s like love. You want to let things grow on you.” 

*The Black Flat / Whatever the occasion and your inclination, do as the Parisians do and pair this enduringly chic shoe with an evening dress or blue jeans. It’s smart and sophisticated with a side of French gamine.

*The Crisp White Shirt / It goes without saying that a white button-down is a vital building block in anyone’s closet, least of all a Parisians’. For something a little unexpected, shop in the mens’ department; opt for a linen or brushed cotton shirt in the smallest size you can find, leave the tails half-out and simply roll up the sleeves. Instant French chic – and in clothes you can move in. 

"Learn to appreciate the buttery soft leather on a hand-crafted handbag; the timelessness of black high-heeled pumps; and the luxuriousness of a well-cut cashmere coat. Whilst the outlay will be considerable in the short-term, you’ll find that five years down the track they’ll still be hanging in the wardrobe, well-worn but worn with love. It’s the French way of life – and often how they approach their attitude to food. Nothing is ever done by halves and it’s abundantly clear that the French just do it better."
