Earth Day Beauty and Fashion
Thursday, April 22nd, 2010In celebration of Earth Day (it is today, after all), I wanted to share with you some exciting parts of the beauty industry that stay green and attempt to spread their good-for-the-earth products throughout the world. Making yourself more beautiful, while considering the environment? Yes, please!
Makeup
The PlantLove collection from CARGO Cosmetics is the perfect way to enhance your daily beauty, while being environmentally-conscious. With bronzers, lipsticks, foundations, eye shadows, and more, you have a wide array of beauty products to work with. And the products don’t have parabens, petro-chemicals, synthetic dyes, and other typically harmful ingredients.
Fashion
Adele Wechsler has a great collection of Eco-Couture gowns that are sure to help you have a green wedding. These vegetable-dyed silks, certified organic hemp/silk, and an emphasis on fair trade labor, gowns by Adele Wechsler are especially exciting to work with. Walk down the aisle in style and with a great background story to your very own wedding dress.
Hair
If you want healthy hair, consider the Yes To Carrots line of paraben-free products, specifically those for hair. This reasonably-priced line is 99.6 percent natural and made with Dead Sea minerals. There are different shampoos and conditioners for various hair types, which are made with carrots, tomatoes, or even cucumbers. Yum!
Consider some natural products this Earth Day. They are made by reputable companies and aim to be better for you in the long run. And they’ll be better for the Earth as well!! Do your part and everyone will be healthy, happy, and beautiful!

I came upon an amazing site this morning and just needed to share it with all of you. As I fantasize about lying on a beach in this wretched blizzard weather, I couldn’t help but think of the hassle it can be to get all your fave beauty products on the plane with you (especially if you’re able to save money and not check your bags). In the case of carry-on luggage, we’ve all learned the rules by now: products must be in a Ziploc bag and not exceed three fluid ounces per bottle. And this is exactly why I think that 3floz.com is genius!
Sue Devitt has her very own popular beauty line, as well as a deep interest in holistic beauty. Many of her products are made from natural ingredients she’s found in various places and finds to be successful for a great beauty regimen. But that’s not all Sue advocates for healthy-looking skin. It’s also important to keep up a good routine in diet, exercise, and sleep patterns. Check out Sue’s recommendations below.
