A lot of the time people are hesitant to incorporate green products into their skincare or beauty regimen because it almost feels like a downgrade. You see all these fancy products in the department stores and your favorite celebrities are modeling them, how could they lead you wrong. If it’s expensive it must be the best right? Wrong. Most people associate going green with spending more money but this is probably one area of environmental marketing and product development where you can actually save money. I’m not saying switch up everything. That’s not realistic and that’s not how I think...
‘Lil homies need care and protection that won’t ruin their street cred (read: sorry mom, that full brimmed sun hat is sure to be left behind come playtime). The TruKid line of children’s sunscreen, hair and skin products, and relief balms are BPA and Phthalate free; just as importantly, little ones won’t squirm when you try to wash their hair or prep them for the sun. The sunscreen products are fresh smelling and, according to one user, blend in as well as chemical sunscreens with no white residue (sans the titanium dioxide). TruKid lotions and balms are highly rated by the Environmental Working...

It is so essential to be able to flip the mood in your personal space, whether it be at home, in the office, or while traveling, and be able to relax! Sometimes after a long day, we need a little more than just music to set the mood. I strongly believe that everyone should have a couple of candle lines that they personally connect to and keep stocked at the crib. For me one of those lines is newly created candle line Orchard Street Candles. Orchard Street candles are non-synthetic and created from a soy wax blend that is formulated...
You’re a natural girl. You understand that 60% of topical products you put on your skin can absorb into your bloodstream – and in an ideal world you’d be able to harvest your cosmetics in your own backyard, taking as much care with what you put on your skin as you do with what you put in your mouth. But how realistic is it to think you’ll be able crush berries daily to use as blush? With the arrival of 100% Pure, you can proudly wear fruit pigmented cosmetics without any of the harsh preservatives, thickeners, emulsifiers, perfumes or fragrances...
When summer time comes around it’s always fun to experiment with loud colors. Whether it be your accessories, your clothes, your shoes, a pop of color always freshens up an outfit when done right! One of my favorite ways to throw some pop into a look is by having fun with nail polish colors. So temporary and such a statement at times. I’m not into too many eco beauty brands because I think they need to step up their game A LOT if they want to be on the same playing field as some of the larger costmetic houses out...
With the help of things like rice bran wax and olive esters, Sephora claims their Lights, Camera, Lashes 4-in-1 natural mascara by Tarte will not only lengthen and thicken your lashes but it will also condition them while you work. We took their challenge. Lights, Camera Lashes! is called a 4-in-1 mascara because it is claimed to “1. lengthen, 2. curl, 3. volumize and 4. condition” your lashes while you are partying, working or just making your way out in this big old world. The “new” ingredients are supposedly what makes the difference. Rice bran wax helps lengthen lashes, carnauba...

Lately, I’ve been all about the finishing touch. There are two steps that, even in the dead of winter, can make you look fresh as a daisy. One is misting your face with water. The other is dabbing on a luminizer. Karlie Kloss got me thinking about luminizers last summer, when she divulged that Pat McGrath is never without her “Shiny Stick” (Madina Chic & Shine, from Italy). Then, another trendsetting makeup artist told me that he loves ModelCo’s Luminosity Shimmer Stick. Forgive me, but I’d always been under the impression that a shimmery cream—outside of runways and photoshoots—could go terribly wrong, shockingly...
We gave you the skinny on this collaboration when word first came out, and now Khiels has released a campaign to accompany their Earth Day initiative. Continuing its collaboration with high profile creatives, Kiehl’s looks towards Pharrell Williams as the music producer takes part in the brand’s new açaí damage-protecting toning mist, an antioxidant-rich spray. Pharrell joins the likes of Jeff Koons, Malia Jones, and Juliann Moore with this new campaign, which donates a portion of the sales towards the Rainforest Alliance. The bottle is now available via Kiehl’s for $26 USD....
