Summer Eco Beauty Products
Going out of your way to do something for the planet just became a little more fun with these summer eco beauty products.
Rather than wash your makeup away, you can wipe it away (including eye makeup) with Physicians Formula Organic Wear 100% Natural Origin Facial Makup Remover Towelettes ($6.95, ulta.com). These makeup remover wipes do nothing to disturb the environment and the on-the-go, lightweight packaging makes it easy to tote in a gym bag or wherever you like.
Illuminate and add depth to your cheeks, lips and eyes with Pür Rocks by Pür Minerals ($23.50, ulta.com), a product that isn’t tested on animals. These are pulverized minerals in a unique, 3-dimensional design. If nothing else, the presentation of this product is outstanding!
Work the bristles of your makeup brush into the rocks to unlock the pure pigments. To apply with the 3D method: Dip the appropriate brush into the rocks, draw a circle on the lid and dust onto your face.
Pur Tip: Use the Powder Brush or Shadow Brush for expert application, or use as a crayon and draw onto lips and eyes for more intense colour.
Get Kerry Washington’s sexy cat eyes by using Tarte Cosmetics Indelible Wink ($22, sephora.com) which comes in four colors. It’s a liquid liner on one side and a matching powder on the other which is used to set the liner to make it smudge-proof throughout the day. Don’t know how to achieve a cat eye using a liquid liner?

Continue saving the planet one beauty product at a time, by plumping up your pout for maximum exposure with Tarte Cosmetics Rise ‘n Shine Lip Stain, Nectar ($21, tartecosmetics.com). This is a gel-based tint that gives your lips an all-day rosy glow. But once the gloss is gone, the lip tint still remains.
Note: Tarte Cosmetics is known for creating beauty products that are cruelty-free and are made with natural fragrances.
