Hello Everyone! I'm back with the final segment of the "green your beauty" routine series. So far we've discussed skincare and haircare options, and believe it or not, there are "greener" options when it comes to selecting your makeup.
CARGO Cosmetics recently released their PlantLove collection of makeup, which includes twenty moisturizing lipsticks formulated with both organic and natural ingredients. Not only am I loving the wide selection of colors, but also the fact that the lipstick case and lipstick box are eco-certified.
I prefer to use Tarte Cosmetics' Cheek Stain when I'm trying to achieve a "naturally flushed" look. It's a water based gel blush, available in nine shades, and is oil, alcohol, and paraben free. And as a bonus it contains a T5 Super Fruit Complex, which delivers anti-aging and restorative benefits to the skin.
My favorite drugstore brand of mascara is Voluminous Original Mascara by L'Oreal. I'm happy to report the launch of their Bare Naturale Mascara, which is paraben and fiber free. Though the formulations of the two mascaras are obviously different and result in different looks, I'm still excited about the choice of a "greener" option.
Now I know I've said this twice already, but please allow me to say it just one more time — "buying products that use less toxic chemicals" is one way to take action when it comes to protecting the earth. I sincerely hope that you'll consider the many options presented to you over the past couple of weeks, as well as other available options, and make Earth Day every day!
