FOTD – Minimalist Multistick Makeup

There are some days that I just need a minimalist, no-makeup makeup look.  I have wanted to try a multistick look for a while now, using it to its full range so here it is!  I used Vapour Organics Multistick in Crush.

100% Pure Super Fruits Healthy Skin Foundation Revew

Aside from Jane Iredale’s Dream Tint Tinted Moisturizer (review) I haven’t really branched out into liquid foundations since going green.  I do like the Dream Tint, but it definitely does not offer full coverage,  nor is it vegan.  Naturally, I went looking to 100% Pure for makeup because so many of their products are vegan but they also use fruit and vegetable pigments rather than mineral based pigments to achieve the different shades.  There is so much less chance of lead contamination with makeup pigmented this way, rather than mineral based pigmentation.  Plus, it smells better!

Red Apple Lipstick – I understand the hype now

Since I started blogging about green beauty I have tried some products that just don`t live up to the hype that surrounds them.  Like at all.  And it`s very disappointing .

I have heard lots about Red Apple Lipstick over the past year and a bit, but I have been hesitant to try them because of all the extreme hype surrounding them as well as their price.  Although, truly, I shouldn`t balk at the price because I used to spend similar amounts if not more on MAC or Smashbox lipsticks…..

Moving right along: I won a gift certificate recently and took the plunge and went for their `buy 2 get 1 half off` promotion and oh my goodness gracious I was absolutely blown away by all three lipsticks that I received.  I can`t say this about too many products with this amount of hype surrounding them, but these little tubes of glory absolutely live up to the positive reviews they have been receiving!

100% Pure Satin Cream Eye Shadow in Tahiti Review

Some of you may know this already, but my eyelids are extremely sensitive and mineral shadows alone can sometimes be very irritating and case a severe case of eczema in which I can not wear eye shadow for a week or two after the one glorious night. I combat this by using cream shadows as a base or balms as primers. 100% Pure’s Satin Cream Eye Shadow in Tahiti is a super pretty neutral base colour that is working well for me so far.
