Green Makeup

Does your makeup hurt your skin or help it? This is a good question to ask when buying makeup, you want to have the purest form, that will do the best repairing your skin! Yes, it is best to buy mineral makeup, many other products have chemicals in them that are know to have adverse health effects! Here is a great list of chemical you should avoid at all costs ez-make-up

Now, I understand that we don't want to sacrifice color or sparkle just for vegan, healthy makeup! A great website with tons of glittery products (and even vegan brushes!) is Urban Decay

I have recently used Bare Escentuals, but they cannot guarantee that all of their products are vegan. If you are serious about using all vegan skin products, this would not be one to use.

We have to remember, not all of us can afford super expensive makeup! We have to find makeup that is good and inexpensive. Ecco Bella has many affordable began products available at They list their products that are non-vegan. Another amazing website for cosmetics is E.L.F. All of their products are 1 dollar! They use no animal derived ingredients and have no animal testing, also many of their products are packaged in recyclable packaging.

In conclusion there are lots of brands out there, it all comes down to supply and demand. If the consumer wants a more natural product that is good for us and the environment, that is what will be supplied. Things are constantly changing so ask the questions to make sure that what you put on your body is what you want on it and what you are paying for helps you sleep better at night.

I think that sounds good! I mean seriously, you're putting makeup onto your skin. I'd rather it be good for me. Just out of curiousity, what brands of makeup do they sell at Whole Foods? (I don't know if you'd know the answer to that or not...) Thanks for sharing, girl! (:

All I can find at Whole Foods is their own brand, "Mineral Fusion" I am not sure if they sell any other brands.
