Have You Tried “Pai”?
How jazzed are we? Pai Skincare a skincare line loved by celebrity make-up artists and A-list talent alike, cult British brand has landed in Canada.
Anyone who knows me knows I care about using only the best for my skin, Pai is the only certified organic, premium range for sensitive and delicate skin.
Pai Skincare founder and president, Sarah Brown, was inspired to create a synthetic-free skincare line after years of battling skin allergies. In 2007 she introduced a range that has gained global recognition as a breakthrough for sensitive skin, and a legion of loyal followers along the way.
I tried out the Pai Skincare’s Rosehip BioRegenerate Oil, one of their most well known and loved items.
This Oil refines appearance of damaged skin and fines lines. It delivers Pro-Vitamin A to the skin without causing irritation. Rich in concentrated Trans-Retinoic Acid, an essential fuel for the skin’s natural repair function. It smells great and feels silky on the skin without the grease of tradition oils.
I also tested out Pai Skincare’s Chamomile & Rosehip Calming Day Cream.
This cream is formulated to soothe and maintain extremely sensitive skin. Its packed full of antioxidants and Omegas so it leaves skin hydrated and looking beautifully healthy with a heavy of heaviness. I love the feel and smell of this one!
For anyone with sensitive skin or anyone wishing to try out a truly organic line, give Pai a try!

true lipz completely change my perception on lip gloss. This breakthrough in lip color and deep hydration is so unique, and the colors are awesome! Envision satin-smooth gloss in the most en vogue shades gliding effortlessly over your lips while depositing ingredients known for nourishing, hydrating, conditioning and healing. Finally, a gloss that leaves your lips feeling luxuriously soft and supple…even the day after you’ve worn it. My November picks are Lustre L031 and Luste L036.
