Save the Environment AND satisfy your cosmetics craving!

Advertisements advocating environmentally-friendly apparel with burlap and recycled rubber. But did you know you can help save the Earth while purchasing makeup, too? Some brands donate a percentage of their profits to environmental organizations, while other try to manufacture Earth-friendly products. Here's my personal recommendation (pictured):

Physicians Formula Organic Wear Face Powder is amazingly effective on your complexion. The pressed powder (see title link) wears light on the face, so skin doesn't look cakey. Including a brush and a mirror, the compact is actually made of paper, so the total product uses 93% less plastic than most other compacts (statistic courtesy of Seventeen).
The powder sells for a retail price of approximately $14 in drugstores nationwide.

So do the right thing: Save the Earth while beautifying yourself every morning; it will make you feel beautiful on the inside, too.
