#freshcanadianbrand17: Bella Aura - Skincare Review
*This blog post originally appeared on Opal Frame*
Proudly made in Canada, Bella Aura’s philosophy is to have you feeling your best, because beauty starts from the inside. They believe “When you’re at your best, the positive spirit within you emanates from the surface of your skin, spreading illuminating energy into the world. At Bella Aura, our mission is simple: to craft pristine natural skincare infused with groundbreaking technology so that your complexion radiates your pure inner glow.”* This is so heart-warming to hear. I love brands that believe in telling women to embrace their natural beauty, and that they are beautiful as they are. I also love when they stress that feeling beautiful inside is where it all starts, this is what Bella Aura believes, as do I; so naturally I am intrigued by this brand.
The Products:
“Each of our products contains our exclusive Kamilah blend of four natural botanical extracts loaded with a spectrum of energizing vitamins, minerals and Omega 3,6,9 Fatty Acids.” *

Interview
I also had the pleasure of interviewing Yasmine to ask her a few additional questions regarding her brand and her views:
Q.1 Chantal: What does Bella Aura mean?
Yasmine: It means a beautiful aura. Your own reflective image that represents both inner and outer beauty, the deep glow from within that illuminates your complexion.
Q. 2 Chantal: What is your number one tip for feeling beautiful inside and out?
Yasmine: Beauty is about living your life and being happy with yourself inside and out. Being happy that doesn’t mean that everything is perfect, it means that you’ve decided to look beyond the imperfections. You create your beauty with your attitude, behavior and actions.
Q. 3 Chantal: If you could use one word to describe Bella Aura Skincare what would it be?
Yasmine: Complete.
Q. 4 Chantal: What is one piece of advice you would give your younger self?
Yasmine: Happiness is when you feel good about yourself without feeling the need for anyone else’s approval. You live life on your own term instead of buckling to society’s pressures. Surround yourself with positive, spiritual and loving people that bring you joy and success in all areas of your life. Be grateful for what you already have and you will attract more good things. Gratitude is a powerful process for shifting your energy and bringing more of what you want in life. Love yourself for who you are.
