Did you know that it only takes up for 26 seconds for your skin to absorb products? That can be really scary if you do not know what is in your products, and ultimately going into your body. Many of us want to opt in for the more expensive, instagram worthy products, but they don't have to be expensive to be affective. The Ordinary created by Deciem is an amazing brand that has high quality and affordable skin care and makeup products. I absolutely love their serum foundation for a nice light coverage and their full coverage foundation if I am having some trouble areas.
I also really love Elate Cosmetics based in Victoria BC. With a great range of all natural, non-toxic, sustainable and cruelty free options, you can customize your own "Capsule" of products perfectly curated to your skin tone. They have bamboo packaging and refill options to cut down your product waste, and one of my favorite things is their pressed powder packaging, which is made of seed paper that you can plant in your garden, creating beautiful herbs and wildflowers depending on the season. They also just added a new marketplace where you can shop all things eco friendly beauty to save on shipping and support local!
Tarte is a staple in any high quality makeup kit, and perfect for the everyday make up lover. Their pressed powders including eye shadows, blushes and bronzers include vanilla extracts for a sweet smelling application, with long staying power and a beautiful clay base great for dehydrated and sensitive skin types. They are under a parent company that requires testing on animals, so if this is a concern of yours I wouldn't recommend the purchase. I am continuing to use what I had already purchased before beginning my journey to cut down on my personal waste.
