At Joyous Health, we love talking about everything related to natural beauty, and it’s no secret — even Walker joins in the conversation now and then. We often compare what products we’re loving, what’s effective, and what’s not so much. Some of the best products I’ve tried have come from recommendations during these chats, which is impressive since I’ve only been part of the team for a few months.
With that in mind, we’re starting a new blog section called “Overheard at Joyous Health.” Here, we’ll share our recent discussions and recommendations for natural beauty products, food, books, podcasts, and more. Basically, anything that’s caught our interest!
Our first spotlight is on our favorite natural lipsticks:
**Joy**
“I’m a huge fan of W3LL People’s Nudist Multi-Use Cream Stick in Nude Berry. It’s perfect for both cheeks and lips, but I usually use it on my lips. It adds a subtle daytime tint and layers well for a deeper shade. I often top it with lip balm since it has a matte finish.”
“For TV appearances, date nights, or whenever I need a confidence boost, I reach for Ilia’s Neon Angel. The vibrant magenta is refreshing, and the smooth texture lasts for hours.”
*Honorable mention from Joy:* “Boosh’s Lip Plumping Balm is wonderfully nourishing, and I love using it over my Ilia and W3LL People lipsticks. Boosh also makes beautiful, creamy lipsticks—a proudly Canadian brand!”
**Amanda**
“For date nights and special events, I adore Kosas’ Weightless Lip Colour in Thrillist. This flattering red is enriched with mango seed butter, keeping my lips hydrated and comfortable.”
“For everyday wear, my go-to is a lip butter that feels like a tinted balm without the shiny finish. In the shade Cherry, it gives a perfect berry tint and is almost always with me.”
**Rachel**
“For a more natural look, I use Ilia’s Tinted Lip Conditioner in Blossom Lady. It’s subtle, great for the office, or a first date when you want to keep it low-key.”
“When I do wear lipstick, Ilia’s High Impact Lipstick in Knockout is my choice. It’s hydrating, full coverage, and comes in a lovely pink shade.”
**Carol**
“I love using RMS Beauty’s Lip2Cheek in Paradise for a hint of color. For special occasions, I opt for Bite Beauty’s Matte Crème Lip Crayon in Framboise. I’m more into mascara, but I do enjoy a good balm like Eos’ active lip balm in aloe or lemon for everyday use.”
