Have you ever read the ingredients on the beauty products you use? Chemicals, parabens, synthetic preservatives, pesticides and genetically modified additives are only some of the many ingredients found in some of our favorite products. So before you go ahead telling yourself that you would die without your favorite foundation, because it's the only one that does not make you oily, is your exact skin color, blah blah blah... Consider the alternatives of NATURAL BEAUTY!
Tarte is one of our favorite cosmetic brands, their line of products work to make us feel and look even prettier than we already are! This rockstar company has a line of natural products (some are even vegan) that come in recyclable and reusable packaging. We love Tarte for being an eco-friendly company and a member of the Natural Products Association.
Natural Lip Stain with LipSurgence: There has been a 10 year wait for this product, but it's finally here! Tarte's award winning cheek stain (that can also be used on lips) now has a special companion with some extra flavor. Not only does it taste better, it contains LipSurgence which is clinically proven to increase moisture to your lips by 6000%. Available at Sephora.
Mineral Powder Bronzer: FAVORITE ALERT. Trade those UV rays for some light weight mineral based bronzer that contains vitamins A,C, and E. Available in two darling shades Hotel Heiress and Park Ave Princess .
Celebutante: For head to toe glow, try this dry oil for a bronze shimmer. It's great for all skin tones, even you Snow White beauties! You can also reuse the bottle as a cute vase for some daisies.
You can buy Tarte cosmetics from their online store or many other stores including Sephora! Tarte makes it super easy to go natural with their variety of amazing products.
Karma Organic carries a line of 100% Organic and Non-Toxic Nail Products. A soy based and biodegradable nail polish remover is one of their hottest products. Allure Magazine Editor's Choice Beauty Awards selected Karma Organic's Tea Tree Oil Scented Remover as the winner of the Best Beauty Product of 2009. Our favorite is the Lavender, which releases a calming scent as you use it to gently remove your nail polish. $12.99
To complement their removers, they also carry a line of non-toxic and chemical-free (no Toluene, Formaldehyde, or DBP) nail polishes. Glow in the dark colors for our ravers and ragers, reds, and pastels are some of the over 100 colors to choose from. $9.99
Keep it old school with Evian Mineral Water Spray. To keep your skin looking fabulous, mist yourself throughout the day for a light cooling refreshment. This will become your best friend and you will re-mist more often than you check your BBMs. If you wear makeup all day long, don't keep caking it on! Use this spray to freshen up and moisturize naturally. Purchase a pack of 2 travel size bottles for $12 at Sephora.
Natural beauty is a growing trend, with many brands catching on to reformulate their products without synthetics and chemicals. Be sure that you do some research because the term "natural" is not completely regulated. Our kingdom, Sephora, has made it easy with us with a section of natural and organic products that are formulated with a minimum of 90% natural ingredients. So helpful!
