Here’s some exciting new green beauty I’ve been using from some new and old favorite green beauty brands!
Metta Body Butter
New favorite here! I recently wrote about this Metta Body Butter for use on the feet because I just couldn’t wait to get the word out there about it. Why do I love this? Well, for one, it’s a big jar, the butter melts when in contact with the skin, it’s so easy to apply and spreads so nicely. I also love the subtle scent of lavender (there’s also vanilla). Made with the purest shea butter, grape seed oil, jojoba and more, this can also be used as a massage oil. I think it’s a great post-shower moisturizer, massage oil and for the feet before bed (just wear socks). This Australian brand is available exclusively at The Detox Market. $47
Mahalo Vitality Elixir
I’ve been using Mahalo Body’s Face Oil for the past two weeks and my skin seriously just drinks it up. A blend of Tamanu and CO2 extracts of Chia, Black Cumin, Sea Buckthorn, Carrot and Turmeric, this is one serious serum that feels really substantial and full of nourishment (must be the Omega- 3s). These ingredients are blended to heal, calm, moisturize, nourish and rejuvenate the skin. My skin has been soft, moisturized and calm. I’ve only been adding an SPF 30 during the day (as should you). It absorbs quickly, making it great pre-makeup and I’m loving the bamboo packaging of the whole line. $64
Jane Iredale Country Weekend
Just another mouth-watering collection from Jane Iredale called Country Weekend. Country Weekend includes their Limited Edition Getaway Eye Shadow Kit with five shades (and an extra-large base shadow…how smart, right?) The colors include a shimmery pearl, golden peach, a matte green grey, a shimmery copper gold and a shimmery black. The collection also includes their newest shade of Jelly Jar. Espresso, a shimmery brown grey. Without chemicals or irritants, these gel liners can replace all of your “less than clean” liners and they’re highly pigmented, too. I’m most excited about Forever Peach, their new peach Lip and Cheek Stain! If you haven’t used these before (Forever Pink is a staple for me in the warmer months) you should get on it. They offer great color, last and are so easy to wear. The peach is gorgeous and I’m loving it on my cheeks, giving me a bright and youthful look. These are all sold separately and will be available this month! Getaway Shadow Kit $58, Espresso Jelly Jar $28 and Forever Peach $25
SkinOwl Beauty Drops PM
Wowee! I had a friend of mine contact me after she received SkinOwl’s new Beauty Drops PM and said, “Have you smelled it yet? It’s to die for!” She wasn’t kidding. I have to say that it is, by far, thee best-smelling oil (or maybe product) that I’ve ever used. The Mangosteen gives off a fruity, lively and delicious scent. What does it do? Well, a lot and all whilst you sleep: it revitalizes dull and lackluster skin, corrects skin blemishes and it’s an anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-inflammatory treatment as well. So, in a nutshell, it gives your skin new life as it heals and moisturizes overnight. An incredibly light oil, it absorbs rapidly and is easy to spread…you’ll be tempted to wear it during the day. With only two ingredients, you know it’s pure: Raw, organic Baobab Oil and pure Mangosteen oil. Big, bottle, too! $85
Bdellium Makeup Tools …I love mine! I have the Smoky Eye Set and let me tell you, they are just as gorgeous as they are eco! With beautiful sustainable bamboo handles, these eco-friendly, cruelty-free, hypoallergenic and vegan makeup brushes have vegan soft synthetic bristles and an anodized aluminum ferrule. Synthetic brushes (in addition to no animals being harmed) have an advantage as they hair little to no hair shedding, they’re easier to clean and the application is light. These brushes were designed by a group of makeup brush experts in California, so I’m taking their word for it. What’s more is that they’re affordable. For example. the 5-piece Smokey Eye Set that I have is only $48. I’ve got such a mishmash of brushes, I’m looking forward to getting all of these eco makeup tools. Nice, neat and nobody gets hurt! Brushes are also sold individually.
Satori Global Scent No. 1 by Lina Hanson
Satori is Lina Hanson’s first-ever scent and it’s a beauty! It seems like forever that the green beauty world has been at Lina to create her own scents. Why? Because her Global Body Serum and Global Face Serum smell so wonderful. Satori does not disappoint. Inspired by her trip to the Far East, Lina created a fragrance that at first smells like an uplifting, warm vanilla blend and then settles into a gorgeous exotic spice. Like many non-toxic perfumes, this won’t be a super strong scent, but rather something that you and whomever is lucky enough to hold you will! I could smell mine on my wrists for hours. It comes packaged in a rollerball, which is perfect for having it in your bag for touch-ups. Get it at Integrity Botanicals. $105
