Pacifica

Does anyone use any Pacifica skin care, hair care, makeup or fragrance?

What products do you like/not like, and why?

I have some Pacifica scents&love them...on the Pacifica website they have value sets, I got 3 rollerball scents- Lilac, Indian Coconut&Nectar and Hawaiian Pikkake. The only one I didn't care for was Tibetan Mountain Temple, it smells like strong Chai to me, was hoping for more of a woodsy scent.

I've tried so many body scents of theirs and a few of their solid perfumes and never really liked any of them. There was always something "off" about the scents, something I can't quite put my finger on. I wish I liked them since they are cruelty free and the scents often sounded like something I'd like.

I've never tried the skincare or makeup.

I bought Pacifica for the first time a couple of weeks ago. I got their nail polish in "Unicorn Horn". I will definitely be trying more from them.

Love Pacifica....cruelty free. I enjoy all their scents (least favorite is Tibetian Mist, but it might be someone else's HG). My besties are sandalwood, orange, rose, lavendar and I also have favorite combination of these (they are light). I've also used their face products (just purchased a kale mask) and think the nail polish is the best! Go to the website and purchase when items are on sale!

Good morning
I have Pacifica fragrances and body washes the scents are lovely but not as long lasting as I would like I have used their Kale shampoo and conditioner it is excellent.I also used their Sea Foam cleanser and moisturizer but now that I am a bit older I find Andalou natural and Devita is working better for my skin I also have Unicorn horn and their base and top coat. I think Pacifica is a wonderful line with many options . I also have their lipgloss and lipstick .They are very good quality at reasonable prices, and I know important to many of cruelty free I have not been disappointed with any of my purchases

I tried their lipsticks before. It was very moisturizing and the colors are nice. But it has no staying power at all (maybe an hour or less). I end up tossing them away a few weeks ago.

I LOVE Pacifica's Waikiki Pikake! I have used the parfum, soap and lotion in that scent. I like the scent of the soap best. When I used the soap, then layered with the lotion, the resulting smell was a little reminiscent of vomit 😳 to my nose, so I no longer layer those two items. 😆

@ilikethebubbly

Is that a sheer color? Like maybe something you could use for a french manicure, or just to give a sheen to your nails?

I was thinking about the lemon blossom, and the lilac. I saw there was a sale at Ulta, so I may take advantage of that. Ulta also has some Pacifica stuff that is exclusively available at Ulta.

@marmarbrooklyn

Yeah, I really like Andalou Naturals as well. One thing I was a little disappointed about was when I bought the Daily Defense lotion and saw that it had chemical sunscreens in it. I figured it would have the natural ones, being a "natural" line. However, the lotion is very nice.

I really like their Lift and Firm cream. It has a nice, whipped texture to it. Feels good on the skin and I think it smells like Tootsie Rolls.

Do the Pacifica nail products seem to wear well with the base and top coat?

@mistriTsquirrel The lilac (I mistakenly called it lavender

in my post) is their best seller and divine. I haven't smelled the lemon blossom, but I'll bet it is full of sunshine and citrus. Have fun with your choices....you might end up with a shelf full like me. I love the alchemy of blending the scents in the morning...a great way to start the day!

That does seem to be the case with a lot of natural products. Lipstick is one item that I'm tempted to buy from mainstream companies, but the lipsticks are known to have questionable chemicals in them. Since you're eating lipstick whenever you lick your lips, I figure it's probably best to stop buying the lipsticks that aren't natural, even if some of my other beauty items aren't natural.

Drugstore lipsticks are so inexpensive though, it's hard to resist!!!

@BExplorer LoL I don't know what "pikake" means. Maybe it means "vomit."

Thanks for the heads-up.

@phoenixbrd It's so hard to find a decent lilac scent. If you find a lilac scent at all, it doesn't usually smell like real lilac. I'm glad to hear Pacifica has a good one. It's on my wish list!!

Loved the Tahitian Gardenia I like to use perfume right before I go to bed and this one is very relaxing. I haven't bought any lately since I'm using up other products that I have but I would buy again.

@mistriTsquirrel I am sticking with my favortie Revlon and Maybelline lipsticks. Those lipsticks stay put. I know they probably have harmful chemicals in them, but I don't want to reaply lipsticks every hour.

Hi @mistriTsquirrel

Yes the Pacifica base and top coat wear beautifully with Pacifica nail polish . I also use the base and top with other cruelty free polish brands I use . Years ago I used Sally Hasen Double Duty and this preforms the same if not better. I also use the Andalou age defy line but I use the Resverotrol Q10 night repair its very light and has that tootsie roll scent too . It is very hydrating without being oily or greasy . I really like the Devita suncsreen , it is a mineral based phsyical sunscreen . have a greaat weekend

Thanks, @marmarbrooklyn! You too!!

I'm glad to hear about the nail polish. I was wondering.

I have not tried Devita yet. Where do you get yours?
