A revelation called JURLIQUE!

Hello My dears:)

So I guess about a week ago I “Tweeted” “I’m so happy happy happy joyjoyjoy!! Will explain later”

So here’s the explanation.

About two weeks ago I was invited To an Oscar Gifting suite by a lady names Doris Bergman who runs a company called Bergman PR. I have not been nominated for anything so you can imagine my surprise and delight and being invited to come munch on miniature eclairs and be “Gifted”. So off I went and much to my surprise and delight There was a company there called Jurlique. Now WAAAAAAYYYY back a million lifetimes ago I made an insane piece of film called “The Island Of Doctor Moreau” .It was shot In Australia and while there my lovely Makeup artist introduced me to this Aussie company called Jurlique. They were my dream company and only available at the time in Australia. Basically the company was created by A couple who lived there and wanted to make all natural High end cosmetics and creams out of Organic essential oils and plants that They grew themselves on their land. Extremely environmentally ahead of their time these folks were. Anyhooo, This company I remembered made quite simply DIVINE products. They inspired me to dream of one day doing the same thing.

So Here’s me MANY years later having forgotten all about this company basically and there they are! They were so Kind and sweet and Lovely . Truly good people. They gave me a bunch of samples of their wares. I took them home and treated myself to a mini at home spa experience. Put it this way. I basically flipped out they were so good. They smell like you want to swim in them or eat them or something. Just INCREDIBLE. They invited me to come see their store In Santa Monica which I was so excited to see as I was now rediscovering a long lost love from many a year ago. (Can u tell yet how wacky passionate I am about this company? and NO they do not sponsor me and NO I am NOT getting paid in any way for writing this (anyway lying brings bad luck) -but in the spirit of loving to share great things with my internet friends I cant hold back.!

So anyways, I went to the store which Is lovely. Very simple beautiful salvaged Wood shelving and they’re Lovely products. So…. I went nuts.

They were kind enough to give me samples of several different products which I am now going to describe to you so you can fully understand what the experience of using these products is like.

By The Way, Now That I have found THE BEST company for me on EARTH I am abandoning all ideas of creating my own line of all natural cosmetics because They have accomplished The top. It can’t get any better.

First- Their Rosewater spray Is unlike any I have ever tried. It has changed my skin completely. Changing it from combo dry/oily to all over soft and healthy and moisturized. It smells like walking into a wild rose garden in Eden.

Just for using these samples for 1 week my skin has changed COMPLETELY like some kind of strange Miracle. I S**** you not. I Also started doing the whole 8 glasses of water a day thing (Although in truth it’s more like 4!) and Dancing more often.

I am actually sitting Right now Post incredibly Long Bath soak in their Energizing Bath Oil and now have the Purifying mask Drying away on my face. My cats always look at me like Im Nuts when I have a facemask on! hihiihi

So, Here are my Favorite things and The reasons WHY i Love them.

Lavender Hydrating essence- You put a couple of drops in Hot water prior to cleansing and soak a washcloth in it then apply it to your face to steam and open the pores for cleansing. Smells so good you want to drink it, or swim in it, either or.

Replenishing Foaming Cleanser- Smells Great, cleans Impeccably well and does not dry me out at all.

Daily Exfoliating cream. - Very very gentle not a scrubby type cream more like and oatmeal/herbal type scrub .smells amazing and works really well.

Intense Recovery Mask- Very deep cleansing yet NOt drying somehow like most deep cleansing masks. It leaves your skin SO clean, I mean each and every Pore clean,-Incredible.

Intense recovery Mask- Goes deep to moiturize and completely heals your skin. I no longer Have dry skin because of this. It is GREAT.

Moisture Replenishing Day Cream- This Cream is Very Rich and soothing and after I put it on I walk around smelling my hands for an hour, THAT’S how good it smells. If they made it as a scent i would WEAR IT.

Lavender Shampoo and Conditioner- O.K. I have very fine fine fine hair. Good shampoo is the one thing I will shell out for because somehow I keep hoping it will help my hair get thicker. (i know, I know ,don’t say it). That said This shampoo beat out all the fancy Shampoos I have tried. My hair was left Shiny and Volumized and Well conditioned. It is better then anything else I have found.

Jasmine Body wash- Have you ever smelled Night Blooming Jasmine in the spring when It blooms? In Southern California it grows like weeds everywhere and when It blooms the entire street is filled with it’s fragrance. I have NEVER found a natural smelling Jasmine scent or product anywhere before. This is the EXACT smell of night blooming Jasmine because that is what It is made of. The Body wash is very very gentle on the skin (I have Sensitive skin and am allergic to most soaps) It is heavenly, It makes you want to shower 3 times a day just so you can use it. …….I am not kidding.

Rose Body Oil- This one is the Real doozy. This rose oil is INSANE. It makes your skin feel like silk and like the day cream for the face makes you walk around smelling yourself. Rose is THE BEST oil for soothing and calming your emotions and spirits. It makes you feel positive and better about everything and it is very luxurious. Rose oil is one of the most difficult and expensive oils to cultivate. They use the roses from their own farm in Australia and I am telling you dead honestly, there is no other product as amazing as this rose body oil ANYWHERE. I know the guys who are reading this must be saying “Yeah right, Like Im going to cover myself in rose oil, I’d smell like a woman”. Nope. Its not that kind of Rose oil.

Most Rose oil products people have come across smell like Tea Rose, a synthetic nasty old lady kind of smell. This is True Rose Oil and is actually very VERY good on a man.It gets absorbed Into the skin and leaves a very faint earthy gorgeous scent on the skin. It is very moisturizing an I use it every day now….. well until it runs out (God forbid)

Having and Using these products is a completely different experience from what I am used to in my bathing Ritual.

It is literally Like going to a spa every time you bathe. I am so spoiled on these products and I am NEVER going back. I am hooked for life. I wish I could open a little spa and bring each and every single one of you in so You could have this experience.

I Know I must sound Like One big Long commercial, but I don’t get anything by doing this other than turning you guys on to some things that could make you very very happy and feel REALLY good every day.I don’t get Paid to Tweet or to write about anything. This is my site.My Opinions:) (God I love That)

Even If You can’t afford to go out and buy all of these products You should go check out the site and see if you can get some samples sent or at least try one of them. If I had to choose One thing out of all of these samples I have tried It is definitely The Rose Oil and Rose Spray. Those 2 things alone will change your entire Bathing and beauty regimen. Having such wonderful treats and having my little mini spa ritual makes me feel Sooo good and so happy. I don’t treat myself very often.I always tell myself that there are more important Things to spend money on Like My family or My Wolf organizations. This has been such a treat for me to feel so Pampered . Taking Care of Yourself and Loving yourself and Your Body Is essential to having a good life. Whatever way you choose to do this is Valid. This has been such a treat, such a pleasure for me I wish I could share it with you all. So This is my way of doing that.:)XO

Their site is http://www.jurlique.com

OH My God! I forgot to take off the mask!!! I look like a crumbling earth Monster!!!

I Love You all Have a wonderful Night:)

XOXOXOXOXOXXXXXXXXXX

    That all sounds amazing! I can’t wait to check out their site! Thanks for sharing Fairuza!

    Sounds great! As a man, I don’t usually mention my interest in things like this to most people (you can imagine some of the reactions I’ve gotten), but this has actually been a passion of mine for a while. Started off with me making my own shampoo and conditioner, and then there was no going back. My policy became, if I couldn’t eat it, I didn’t want it on my skin. I’m definitely going to check out Jurlique’s stuff though, I so often bemoan the fact that I don’t have access to so many fresh, wild growing plants, and am stuck with having them shipped in because they won’t grow where I live. It sounds like we have similar skin types, so I thank you very much for posting this =) ! Good thing my main bathing ritual is at night before bed, with just a quick shower in the mornings… otherwise, I’d end up getting some really odd looks if I were to be walking around smelling myself all the time =P

    Im a dude and i live in canada and i drive a pickup truck so im not really into this stuff but its cool your excited about it and i think if the company wants to grow more and get more known they should advertise more on tv or in magazines and use you as their spokesperson because you love the products and you are a famous person people recognise!

  4. Thomas

    Great stuff but high end like Aveda so the price is prohibitive. I’ve known about Jurlique for quite a while and they were ahead of their time, much more so than Aveda, a brand for which I have problems with but I am glad to see you have made a discovery that fulfills your needs. I am convinced that I just beam my thoughts into the ether and They Might Be Giants makes songs out of them, thus freeing me from my futile attempts to do so. Anything that makes Fairuza Balk feel like a kid again and makes her dance is very, very, VERY good indeed!

  5. Thomas

    Afterthought: slather the entire mask compound all over yourself and take pictures like some avant-garde Butoh dance!

    After afterthought: If you seriously consider that whimsical suggestion, get Howard Schatz to do the photography! ;) ;)

    I am going to do it. I wasn’t going to because it is a little strange that only men have commented on this so far, but what the heck. F* it is wonderful and a joy to see you so excited you girly~girl you. lol. Certainly ANY natural product that truly IS natural and organic that uses on site renewable resources is awesome. The world would be a much better place if all companies followed Jurlique’s lead. We’d all be broke,lol, but there is no doubt that as time marches on this world is running out of natural resources and being ruined by man-made chemicals. I won’t even get into the animal testing and so-forth. I can attest if Fairuza is sharing this information (and as excited as she is) it comes from the heart and is Q-U-A-L-I-T-Y. This type of tip can score “us men” some mucho points with our female
    friends/gf/wives. As always, Thanks F*. You are the bomb. Oh and DRINK YOUR WATER! It’s goood!

  8. Shawn Ravenfire

    So did it thicken your hair? Because my hair was REALLY thick and strong back when I was a teenager, but then it got really fine. Now I’m always looking for ways to make it thick again.

  9. Tyler

    Another guy. Hmmmm.. I know there are many, many female Fairuza fans out there. Maybe it’s just the guys that need to be heard. lol. Fairuza, I spent my afternoon break today looking at Jurlique’s web store. Fantastic! I write this to clarify that if I led anyone to believe the products were REAL expensive, I have led them astray. Prices, although more than let’s say general chemical filled products, are really not that bad. @ Shawn, hate to say it buddy but unfortunately you are not alone in this catagory. With age more men than not start having to deal with thinning hair. I used to stress big time about it, but now I have come to realize that although you might be able to fight Mother Nature for a while, in the end she always wins. Ladies? Where are you??

  10. natalie

    wow, you are just simply the most amazing person ever…even though I dont know you/ever met you in real life!?
    What other famous people would write to thier adoring fans this way?! It’s so awesome (my fave word ever) and OMG that is like my fave film EVER…
    SPOILER:(even though most of you will have seen it)I may have killed a few people when your character was killed…just a few though! :) YAY I am so excited because I have just ordered the film online and it will be in my dvd collection very soon!! :D xx

    I have been using them for years but sadly I became disabled lately and can no longer afford it. As much as I adore you and The Island of Dr Moreu , I always feel sad people who CAN afford stuff get it for free-but oh well it is fabulous line and miss using them
