Mary Louise Parker Loves Jurlique
Some of you might have noticed that I’ve become extremely obsessed with Weeds over the past week or so. This Showtime hit featuring a pot-slinging suburban housewife, Nancy Botwin, is so comical and endearing, I’ve been watching the past 3 seasons for hours on end – a marathon, if you will.
Mary Louise Parker, who plays Nancy, is so adorable, I couldn’t help but be interested when I came across an article in July’s issue of Self magazine featuring her favorite things.
Among those, Parker loves Jurlique Citrus Shower Gel and Calendula-Lavender Hydrating Essence. “Jurlique products smell so fresh and soothing, you feel like you’re at the spa!” With that said, I can’t wait to visit my nearest Jurlique store on Fillmore Street in San Francisco to scope these goodies out.
Citrus Shower Gel ($22 US) has yummy ingredients like rosemary, lemon, and grapefruit that are sure to leave me feeling quite clean and refreshed after I get out of the shower. Calendula-Lavender Hydrating Essence ($38 US) is a product I’m not too familiar. The website says it’s a pre-treatment for the skin to resurface cells and relax pores. I think I can definitely use this for after the shower or exfoliating. At any rate, you can’t really go wrong with anything that smells of lavender, in my opinion.
Have you tried any of these Jurlique products? I’d love to get your take on them!

I haven’t used those, but I have used many other Jurlique products, mostly the facial skincare products. They really are like your own spa at home. Super high quality, smells great (in a natural organic way), and the products work really well. My only complaint is that since they are made from totally natural ingredients, when I went to Tahiti, all the little bugs found my Jurlique products and attacked! I opened my makeup bag one night to find TONS of tiny ants eating Jurlique, hehe. So don’t bring it to Tahiti.
But definitely recommended!

I *adore* Weeds… I’ve got last Monday’s running in the background while I read. I’ve never tried any Jurlique products, though I’ve heard some great things about them!

Never heard of this product and unfortunately I don’t watch Weeds. I have heard rave reviews on the show though. I ought to add it to my Netflix queue.

Hi Marie,
Thanks for stopping by!
Wow, that’s quite an experience you had in Tahiti! I’ll definitely keep that in mind when I travel. But other than that, I can’t wait to take a gander at the skincare items as well. Spa at home sounds too divine to pass up

Hi Rae,
I’m waiting for the last few episodes of the 3rd season to come in the mail via Netflix tomorrow! I’m super bummed that I don’t have Showtime right now; I wish I were you watching it right now! LOL

Hi Marisol,
I think you definitely should give Weeds a try, I watched it all on Netflix within a matter of days – can you guess that I’m opting out of exercise to veg on the couch??
I only just heard of Jurlique recently when I was walking down Fillmore Street to the Shu Uemura store. I walked right by it and immediately turned around and walked in because it looked so green and fresh! If you ever check it, let me know what you think too.

Haven’t tried these products, but one of my recent find has been Jurlique’s Citrus Silk Finishing Dust.
It’s the most amazing finely milled dusting powder.
There’s three variants for different skin concerns – the citrus is for oily/blemished skin.
Not only is it perfectly matte, but it also has an amazing lemony fresh smell that no other powder posesses!
Definitely worth a look at.

Hi juji,
Thanks for stopping by!
The Finishing Dust sounds amazing! I definitely think I’ll look at this when I’m at Jurlique next time – thanks for the tip

I love Jurlique and Origins! But I love another brand even more: Pangea Organics, where most ingredients are organic and have no synthetic ingredients added, whatsoever. I LOVE their whole line, especially the face skincare!! My skin is just at its best since I started using it!
I love that they have real essential oils everywhere, no synthetic fragrances. Everything smells fantastic.
