top lashes only.

Fall Greening

It's time for a little "Fall Greening"!

As our personal products reach the end of there use we are replacing them with green alternatives. Recently a shipment from Futurenaturals.com arrived containing a few products we are really enjoying. Alima Pure is a line based out of Portland Oregon and they really did it right! The Satin Matte Mineral Foundation gives great sheer to medium coverage with 100% natural goodness.

They also have an recycling incentive plan....

With every 5 full size containers returned to them you receive a free eye shadow.

Weightless Protection!

August is here and so is the humidity!!!!

It's much more appealing to hunker down in the A/C

than hang outside....

and who wants to slather on a heavy sunscreen

under your makeup and head out to 100% humidity?

Yuck!

We know you have to protect yourself from those nasty rays BUT....

there really wasn't anything on the market that was light and comfortable to wear under makeup. Not to mention, the higher the level of protection the heavier the lotion.

Having oily skin myself this was a little bit of a dilemma for me...

Then I found my new favorite product!!!

Neutrogena's Ultra Sheer liquid daily sunscreen

With it's Helioplex broad spectrum uva-uvb protection

you will have weightless protection in your choice of spf 55 or spf 70.
