Welcome to Jessica’s Top Thursday. Each week, I will feature a new Top Trend, Top 10 or Top List. I will mention some of our favorite items, tips, ideas, recipes and more. Enjoy! To see my previous Top Thursday posts, click here.
Have I got a treat for you today! This post is for the moms. Oh moms… Let me share with you my TOP 10 FAVORITE 100% Pure products from Alex & Von.
Have you heard of 100% Pure products? No? Sit down, take a second, listen.
100% Pure formulates synthetic-free, fragrance-free, paraben-free and toxin free beauty products. They use the most concentrated formulas possible without the use of water, thickeners, emulsifiers or any other fillers. Inspired by her garden, Susie Wang created 100% Pure’s cosmetics line to complement her healthy lifestyle. Made with pigments from fruits and vegetables along with nature’s best resources, 100% Pure marries all-natural ingredients with high-end cosmetic formulas to create beauty in a class of its own. 100% Pure is the first and only cosmetics colored from antioxidant rich fruit and vegetable pigments (patents pending).
100% Pure products are never tested on animals. It is the company’s mission to help and save animals. They have rescued and placed 21 dogs in loving homes last year alone, as well as provided financial aid to those who need medical aid for their pets. 100% Pure’s long term goal is to open up an animal sanctuary to further help their mission to help animals.
Let me share with you my 10 favorites!

Some notes for you: 100% Pure tinted moisturizers are more of a sheer finish. If more coverage is desired, Elizabeth would recommend either 100% Pure foundation or for spot cover-ups 100% Pure concealer. She also uses 100% Pure’s Flawless Skin Foundation Powder to add a matte finish, usually more of a winter or evening look for her. All of these products offer up SPF coverage without nano technology.

I would love to try everthing, but esspically the Fruit Pigmented Tinted Moisturizer With SPF 20 – that sounds great. I do not like wearing heavy foundation, I just like something light with a little color and the all-important SPF!

13 years agoDid I miss the giveaway dead line?! I’ve tried eye cream before and loved it. Would love to try the ORGANIC COFFEE BEAN CAFFEINE EYE CREAM. And a few more (like the gel eyeliner!) Love that they are organic!
Emilie Metzinger
13 years agoOf course the Pure Fruit Strawberry Box Set looks awesome. Then I could sample all these beautiful products. I also love Tinted Moisturizers and being pregnant I need as much natural sunscreen as I can get and also products that are not going to be harmful
in any way (or, thanks to crazy hormones, make me cry over the sadness of how they make the products). All these products look awesome and I definitely need easy products to brighten my tired face, especially once caring for my newborn.

13 years agoThe creamy liquid eyeliner on their website looks great!
Jennifer
13 years agoI’d have to say the ice cream shampoo/body wash looks just like the perfect gift for my 4yr old son. He already loves shower time and with this, I might never get him out.
