I first read about Alima mineral makeup in Domino magazine (before it sadly folded) and I recently came across this company again. I have yet to try their products but I plan to in the future and will post reviews once I do. There aren’t many stores that carry their products, but they have a [...]

Korres Cherry Full Colour Lip Gloss Review
Posted in Beauty on June 6, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I’m a big fan of Korres Full Color Lip Gloss in Light Pink #11. It’s the color in the center of the photo below. It’s a little less expensive than some of the other comparable lip glosses, and it’s all natural. Korres is a company that only puts the best and natural ingredients in its [...]
Tarte Double Dose Lip Gloss Review
Posted in Beauty, tagged acerola rush, natural makeup, tarte double dose lip gloss review on June 6, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Tarte’s Double Dose Lip Gloss in Acerola Rush is available at Sephora. It has Sephora’s “Natural Seal of Approval”, which doesn’t necessarily mean it’s completely good for you, but it is lacking in a few of the worst chemicals.
I have rewritten this review because this gloss has grown on me. At first I was adamently [...]
spa time with LUSH
Posted in Beauty, tagged Lush cosmetics on April 5, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I stumbled upon the Lush booth at a Boston sustainability convention this weekend. I hadn’t realized that Lush qualified as environmentally friendly until now. Because some of their products have paraben preservatives in them, I’ve always ignored them (That, and their badass-looking marketing campaign and overly chatty salespeople aren’t my thing). The other downside of [...]

Searching for healthy and organic body products? With Pangea Organics, you won’t need to look any further. The small company is located in Boulder, Colorado, but you can find their products in any city. My personal favorite is the Lavender Cardamom Lip Balm. It’s the best lip balm I’ve ever used! Not sticky, waxy, or [...]

Badger Balm products are made in New Hampshire, and are certified organic. I have been using Badger Balm lip salve for years, and it saves my lips during the winter months. Unlike other lip balms, theirs doesn’t have petroleum ingredients. All of their products are great, but my favorite is the Chai Rose lip balm [...]

Korres, a company based in Greece, started with lotions and skincare and has now expanded to include a line of cosmetics. Their products don’t contain the usual potentially harmful preservatives, like parabens. They include zero petroleum products, and are focused an minimizing chemical ingredients. Highly recommended if you’re going to wear makeup. Of course, the [...]

Did you know that the word “fragrance” on a perfume bottle ingredient list can actually be a cover for lots of chemicals? As an alternative, essential oils can be great, simple perfumes. If you’re looking for something a little fancier, Lavanila makes chemical-free fragrances. Not all of the ingredients are organic, but they are natural. [...]
Kiss My Face (and smell my hair)

I just met with one of my dear friends tonight and the first thing I noticed was her feathery, shiny hair and I couldn’t help but ask what shampoo she is using. She told me that she has recently switched to Kiss My Face Whenever Shampoo & Conditioner. It’s available at natural stores and supermarkets [...]
