Product Obsession: Eminence Organics Review Part One - Oily Skin Starter Set

I've been meaning to write a review on this brand for quite some time now. I had purchased a dozen or so of their products nearly a year ago, and had stopped using them to try other products.

I recently started using Eminence again and thought this would be a great time to finally buckle down get cracking on writing a review! :-P

I have a ton of products, so I will have to do several reviews to keep from writing a book, as I like to give as much info for you guys as possible, so please bear with me.

Eminence is probably one of the "greenest" companies out there. They not only create products that are kind to your skin, but to the environment as well. Read more on their green practices here.

"The Éminence tradition began in Hungary more than 50 years ago in a small village where family knowledge of using herbs, fruits and plants in natural remedies spanned generations. This unique awareness of medicinal plants was enhanced with skin care innovation to produce natural products that are true to both organic enthusiasts and results-oriented clients. Today the precious ingredients are still hand-picked and hand-mixed in small batches and are combined with thermal hot spring water to create products that contain potent healing and beautifying properties."

All of Eminence's ingredients are organic and non-GMO, which makes me a very happy girl! :-D

For $49, I think this kit is a steal! I love every single item in it. My only complaint is that I am not crazy about the smell of the Stone Crop masque, but other than that I can't find any negatives. I've been alternating the masques each day and my skin has been simply glowing! If I had to pick my favorites in this set, it would be the Rosehip and Maize Masque and the Rosehip Whip Moisturizer. I have oily skin, but I still sometimes get dry patches, so the masque gently exfoliates and the moisturizer hydrates my skin without breaking me out. :-)
