Green Beauty: Aveda Lip Color Concentrate...

More green things are happening on the beauty landscape!  Remember the Rag & Bone show I covered from fashion week??  Well all of the makeup used was from Aveda, a company who has been synonymous for natural and green living long before it was fashionable to do so.  Aveda™, The Art and Science of Pure Flower and Plant Essences™, was founded in 1978 with the goal of providing beauty industry professionals with high performance, botanically based products that would be better for service providers and their guests, as well as for the planet.  Pretty forward thinking huh??

While I have never really used their makeup some of the new items in their collection have me doing a double take.  One such items is the Lip Color Concentrate.  This unique lipstick is like a stain which I LOVVVVE!  It stays on, doesn't feather and comes in an array of shades (24 to be exact) and the ingredients are just as impressive as well.  This little tube is full of anti-oxidants, plant emollients and a certified organic yummy peppermint flavor/scent.  The lipstick also is SPF 15 and comes encased in a tube of 88% post-consumer recycled resin; housed in a 100% recycled newsprint shell.  Whew!  Say that 5 times fast!!

Bottom line, a lovely lip color that is friendly for the earth and does not sacrifice pretty looks and long wear to have a pretty earth.

Green Pretty!!
