16 Green Beauty Company Founders on Why They Started Their Brands Oct 2, 2017 Making the big switch to the green beauty movement can be more than a little overwhelming. Whether you’re a pro makeup artist, industry vet, or just a lover of all things makeup, skincare, and hair — shifting to more eco-friendly products is a personal preference with a purpose. We caught up with a few of the women (and one exceptional man) who head up our fave clean beauty brands to find out why the future is green. AREN BEHNKE, FOUNDER, JUICE BEAUTY
“Upon becoming pregnant with my first baby, and experiencing hormonal changes and the beginning of lines in my skin, I set out to find healthy skincare solutions that delivered visible results. I was astounded to learn that, although the skin absorbs up to 64 percent of what is placed on it, there were very few available healthy personal care products that worked well. Years after my second child was born, I subsequently bought the name Juice Beauty, launched the company from scratch in 2005, and then I set out to do the impossible: to create organic and truly natural formulations that perform as well as conventional beauty products yet never compromise on the luxurious experience. Over five years, our team worked with chemists, physicians, and microbiologists from California laboratories, to perfect the chemistry of Juice Beauty. Juice Beauty’s revolutionary formulations started with a basic premise: I believed that by formulating with an antioxidant and vitamin-rich organic botanical juice base, rather than petroleum derivatives or added water, and combining it with powerful skin care ingredients, it could yield equal or better results than conventional products. Multiple clinical testing proved this assumption correct. I wanted to create meaningful change in the beauty industry.”

What’s New in Natural Beauty this Fall Turns out it’s easy being green, after all. OCTOBER 2, 2016
It is becoming increasingly clear that naturally derived beauty products are not going anywhere. And why should they? They’re better for both your skin and the environment, so really this is a beauty no-brainer. Below are ten brands that are working to make the game a little bit greener.

October 2017 Talking Top Tens: Karen Behnke CEO AND FOUNDER OF JUICE BEAUTY OCTOBER 2, 2017
As founder and CEO of organic and eco-chic skincare and cosmetics company, Juice Beauty, Karen Behnke is changing the face of sustainable cosmetics. Karen developed a keen interest in personal care products upon becoming pregnant with her first child at the age of 40 and was astounded to learn that, although the skin absorbs over 60 percent of what is placed on it, there were very few available healthy personal care products that worked well. Karen realized there was a void in the market for safe, effective beauty products. Since she couldn’t find anything that worked for her, Karen created her own company: Juice Beauty.

‘Natural’ Beauty: Does It Mean Anything?

The definition of “natural” is at the discretion of a brand’s founder, resulting in a confused consumer. BY RACHEL STRUGATZ

What do they all mean? The word “natural” in beauty — and the crop of new subcategories popping up in an attempt to elucidate and classify the term even further — have become so grossly overused that they they are starting to mean, well, nothing.

October 2017 ‘Natural’ Beauty: Does It Mean Anything? The definition of "natural" is at the discretion of a brand's founder, resulting in a confused consumer. October 6, 2017 Organic, certified organic, made with organic ingredients, all natural, natural cosmeceuticals, supercharged naturals, eco, green, vegan, edible, clean clinical, advanced clinically clean. What do they all mean? The word “natural” in beauty — and the crop of new subcategories popping up in an attempt to elucidate and classify the term even further — have become so grossly overused that they they are starting to mean, well, nothing. With the exception of “organic,” where a strict set of requirements must be met to ascertain organic certification, although even here there are different bodies with varying sets of standards and terms that are open to a range of interpretations. For example, a label that reads “made with organic ingredients” says very little in the way of the other ingredients that are not organic, which are subject to the brand or manufacturer. As for vegan, that just means no ingredients contain animal byproducts and has nothing to do with whether something is plant derived or grown organically. “I had always operated under the assumption that beauty products were safe and that the industry would not allow toxic chemicals, carcinogens and endocrine disruptors into the makeup products that women are using every day,” said Gwyneth Paltrow, who is set on “moving the whole clean beauty movement forward.” “Unfortunately the beauty industry does not protect us at all really.” Similar to the food industry, it’s a free for all, said experts and founders of beauty firms, who claim that “greenwashing” — when a company markets its products as more environmentally friendly than they are — is sweeping an industry where brands are desperate to be part of an exponentially growing “naturals” trend. And it’s consumers in pursuit of something “natural” who are becoming the victims as an oversaturated market with definitions and claims that vary wildly are doing more to confuse — instead of help — shoppers make educated decisions about what to put on their faces. “Natural doesn’t have a definition. In cosmetics, there is no definition of naturals, so it means nothing. There is no regulated definition,” stated Nneka Leiba, director of healthy living science at the Environmental Working Group, or EWG, a nonprofit public health advocacy group that does work in the cosmetic safety and policy space. She stressed that one must always look at the ingredients — not the claim. EWG is best known for its Skin Deep property, a database with more than 70,000 products that ranks ingredients on a hazard scale of one to 10, with one to two being the least hazardous, or safe, and 10 being the most hazardous. “The definition of natural is completely up to the company that uses it [the term],” Leiba said. Karen Behnke, founder and chief executive officer of Juice Beauty, which formulates products with certified organic ingredients, agreed. “The problem is that there’s no regulation or definition for natural so everyone makes up their own definition, and it’s very hard for the consumer to actually sift through all of that. And that’s probably the issue. Anybody can call themselves natural — and everybody does,” Behnke said. The company set the Internet abuzz two years ago when Paltrow was named creative director of makeup for the brand, which is also the parent of her two-year-old beauty venture, Goop by Juice Beauty. In Paltrow’s new role with the company, though, there was a learning curve when it came to organic makeup specifically. She stands by the efficacy, but Paltrow admitted that with organic formulas she sometimes has to slightly “finesse” the way she normally would apply the “conventional version” of the product.

My Favorite Beauty Products That Are Safe For Breastfeeding And Pregnancy October 11, 2017
Aside from the obvious—avoiding alcohol, smoking and taking over-the-counter medication—many women neglect to check their skincare for lurking ingredients that may not be safe to use while pregnant. It’s not necessarily the first thing you think of after you get a positive pregnancy test, but it’s so important to take inventory of what you’re putting onto your skin and thus absorbing into your body when you’re pregnant or breastfeeding. One of the biggest ingredients to avoid is retinol—the most common ingredient found in antiaging products. Luckily, with more and more natural and clean beauty brands popping up every month, it’s easier than ever to find pregnancy-safe skincare that not only cleanses and moisturizes, but combats aging skin, dark spots and more! Today, Caitlin is sharing the list of pregnancy safe beauty products that have helped her get through her second pregnancy. Disclaimer: Keep in mind that we are not medical professionals, so please consult with your doctor before using any products you may be nervous about using when pregnant or breastfeeding! FACE MASKS • Juice Beauty Green Apple Pregnancy Peel: Prior to being pregnant, peels were one of my favorite face products to use. I always feel like they pack the biggest punch in terms of making a noticeable difference quickly in your skin. Finding a pregnancy-safe option has been difficult, but this gentle peel from Juice Beauty smooths and calms irritated skin, and I’ll certainly be using it weekly.
October 2017 The 5 Best Eye Creams (Oils, Serums & More) October 12, 2017 The desert-island must-have skincare item of every makeup artist we’ve ever met, eye cream makes a huge difference in how you look, particularly if you pat it on in the mornings before makeup or SPF. And clean, non-toxic versions, free of texturizers and fillers not to mention irritants, are often the most potent and effective. The first place on your face to show age, a late night, or inflammation of any sort, the skin around your eyes is famously thin, irritable, and devoid of smoothing, plumping, youth-extending oil glands. Eye creams—or gels, serums,or even oils—are a way to (temporarily) get the skin around your eyes back on par with the rest of your complexion, and for this, we love them. Eye cream won’t permanently lift, brighten, de-puff, smooth wrinkles, plump crepiness—no cream will, and even plastic surgeons and dermatologists have limited options around the eye, though well-done Botox, certain fillers, and surgical fat removal and lifts do have more noticeable and long-lasting results than topical treatments. So whether clean/non-toxic or chemical/synthetic, eye cream is more about the moment than the long game (The chemical/synthetic versions, however, bring potential irritants, endocrine disruptors, and more right to one of the most vulnerable areas on the body, so their negative consequences are arguably more longgame in nature.) Though it’s wonderful use before bed, there are several reasons why eye cream does its very best work in the morning: Patting it lightly under and around your eyes gets circulation going to help de-puff, and the moisture sinks in to plump up skin, smoothing wrinkles and crepiness. It makes a bare face look better, and it makes any makeup you use—especially foundation, BB cream, or concealer—look significantly more natural. Make sure to give it a few minutes to sink in before applying anything over it, and a few more before doing eye makeup, to minimize smudging. Here, our all-time five favorite formulas, by type:
October 2017 14 Face Mists That Are More Than Just Canned Water October 15, 2017 You know the way people obsessively reapply lip balm throughout the day? That's me, but with face mists.

While some sprays are literally just canned water, there's a whole range of products that actually deliver a noticeable, hydrating glow, which will really come in handy during festival season and the hot Summer months.

19 beauty products that will help fix period skin October 16, 2017
Like Chrissy Teigen has cleverly noted, period skin is the absolute worst, as hormonal breakouts and blemishes can leave your skin looking less than perfect. But before you throw in the towel, know that there are ways to salvage your skin before things get out of hand. Anti-inflammatory beauty buys (think serums, creams, and masks) that detoxify your pores are crucial to getting your skin back on track, as they can tame any breakouts and blemishes before they take over your complexion. “Facial masks are a great product to have when you have your period,” Kyriaki Savrani, celebrity makeup artist at Factory Downtown tells HelloGiggles. “I love products like the Moisture Replenishing Mask by Jurlique, as it gives you fresh skin without causing new breakouts.” To keep your skin in top shape next time Aunt Flo shows up, here are 19 beauty buys to effectively help you manage period skin.

Organic lemon, aloe, and cherry juices come together to clear imperfections and leave your skin glowing.
October 2017 The 10 Most Important Clean Beauty Swaps October 16, 2017 Just like it’s more important to make sure the strawberries you buy are organic than, say, the pineapples, there’s definitely a more-critical list when it comes to detoxing your beauty routine. Here, where to start—and why—along with a list of some of our all-time favorites:
MASCARA: Made with with a petroleum-combustion byproduct called coal tar, not to mention copious synthetic preservatives and plasticizers, most conventional mascara formulas are hard to imagine putting into your eyes—and yet, that’s precisely where mascara ends up. High-tech innovations with botanical ingredients like pine resin make clean mascara at least as good as the conventional version, with none of the toxins. For wide-awake, super-defined, fluttery, glossy-black lashes, Juice Beauty’s mascara is the ultimate.
Juice Beauty Phyto-Pigments Ultra-Natural Mascara goop, $22 You won’t believe this mascara is as clean, natural, and organic as it is: The intense pigment, high shine, and serious volume-building capability rivals that of any conventional mascara. Plus, it leaves lashes lush, long, and feathery-soft without the toxic chemicals commonly used in conventional mascara; the formula is ultra-smooth, clump-free, and it doesn’t smudge or flake. GP’s personal tip: Smooth on one coat, wait a few seconds for it to dry, then build color and length with a second coat for a look that instantly wakes up your whole face.
October 2017 An Easy Work-Morning Routine October 16, 2017 Like the foolproof dress + shoe combination that pulls everything together instantly, a streamlined a.m. routine reduces decision-making, and leaves you looking amazing—all day (and, if need be, into the night). The right amount of makeup for work, of course, depends on you and your particular job, but getting the moisture/primer/SPF/glowy-skin equation right is the key, no matter how much or how little lip/eye/cheek you wear with it. Skin Is (Just About) Everything People tend to focus on coverage, but think instead in terms of showcasing the great skin you do have— which, even if you suffer from breakouts or other imperfections, is still the majority of your face. The trouble spots are just spots, so maximize beauty by focusing on what’s great. People tend to think of skin as the backdrop—when truly, it’s the main event. So spend most of your in-front-of-the-mirror effort on skin protection, moisture, and texture. When you wake up, smooth on face oil—if you like, cleanse first, but it’s fine to do on bare skin. For normal and dry skin, the oil from goop by Juice Beauty plumps lines, smooths texture, and hydrates like crazy, leaving skin soft, glowy, and elastic. For oily or breakout prone skin, the Lapis oil from Herbivore soothes redness and inflammation, plus it balances moisture and oil levels in skin, so it’s smoother, calmer, beautifully hydrated, and less vulnerable to breakouts.
Juice Beauty Phyto-Pigments Illuminating Primer goop, $36 Featherweight and silicone-free, this primer brilliantly combines skincare—organic, antioxidant botanical extracts, cold-pressed organic oils, and juices—with a high-tech, age-defying serum that blurs imperfections, smoothes wrinkles, and leaves a healthy glow for an instantly more flawless complexion. At the same time, it hydrates deeply and controls oil with coconut alkanes and organic glycerin. Primer/SPF combinations (clean ones, mind you) can give you everything you need in a single shot: Pot of Shade from Kypris gives skin a gorgeous, subtle gleam and a solid mineral SPF 30. If you like a bit of color, both Juice CC and Beautycounter Dew Skin roll all the above functions into one, delivering SPF, moisture, and skin tint in one fell swoop.

October 2017 5 TRANS & NON-BINARY BEAUTY ORIGINALS TEST GREEN MAKEUP What is the power of what we put on our faces? October 16, 2017 Those of us who don’t fit into conventional beauty norms often have a fraught relationship with them. Mainstream beauty culture hasn’t typically been inclusive of queer, trans, non- binary and gender-non-conforming people, but the tide is turning, thanks to trailblazers like model Hari Nef, who stars in a current Gucci fragrance campaign; author Janet Mock, who writes a beauty column on allure. com; and actor Laverne Cox, who recently designed a nail polish collection with Orly. It’s a shift worth celebrating: Since the tools of beauty can be a powerful vehicle for selfexpression—and offer an opportunity to shift preconceived notions about gender—we invited five makeup lovers to play with a pile of all-natural cosmetics. Then, together with makeup artist Ronnie Tremblay, they created a look that makes them feel like themselves.
Carolina’s picks: Sappho New Paradigm Liquid Foundation in 10, $63, thetruthbeautycompany.com. Juice Beauty Phyto-Pigments Last Looks Blush in Peony, $30, holtrenfew.com. Burt’s Bees Lipstick in Russet River, $10, burtsbees.ca “Makeup can be quite empowering: Whenever I need to speak hard truths in public, it provides a ‘shield’ that supports my confidence. And if I’m having a low-energy day, I know I can count on makeup to cheer me up. My grandmother was a powerful role model for me. Every time I put makeup on, I’m reminded that she didn’t use any in her daily life and yet had a presence unrivalled by anyone else. I try to channel that power when I’m getting ready to go out, and that’s how I know when my makeup is done.”

October 2017 The Flight Attendant With A 5 AM Takeoff Time The #ITGTopShelfie interview series focuses on the beauty routines of Into The Gloss' lovely, accomplished, and loyal community of readers. Submit your own on Instagram—post your Top Shelfie (tag us @intothegloss!) and include the hashtag #ITGTopShelfie for a chance to be featured on ITG. "Hi! I’m Skya Eiland (@s.eiland) and I’m a flight attendant based at LAX, here in Los Angeles. I’m a pretty junior flight attendant on reserve, which just means that I’m always on call and have my bags packed and ready to go. Crew scheduling can call me as early as 5AM or as late as 11:59PM for a trip, and I can be gone for up to 6 days or fewer. In case you’re wondering why we carry so much luggage, one of them is always a giant lunch bag that carries enough food for a weeklong trip. If I have a really early flight at the airport then I have no choice but to roll out of bed and get going. Morning rituals are so important for me or else I just feel out of place and grumpy. Lately I’ve been trying my best to drink a glass of lemon water paired with freshly squeezed grapefruit juice and Canyon Coffee. I brew that while I head towards the bathroom to cleanse my face. I’m a true believer in the Korean skincare routine. My mother is Korean and she’s the type to experiment with it and she literally has no pores or wrinkles. I like to start off using a Jade Facial Roller just to give myself a massage. And then I use Banila Co. Clean it Zero—I use it take off excess oil and wash off makeup. I follow that with Glossier Milky Jelly Cleanserand always pat dry my face because vigorously wiping your face can cause irritation and redness…that’s a tip from my mom. My older sister is also another big beauty influencer in my life. She’s an aesthetician who suffered from cystic acne, and she’s made this mask that all my friends are hooked on. It’s called Unmask Calm and it's infused with honey, neem, cinnamon, turmeric and chamomile essential oil. It’s super hydrating and purifying, but I love it even more because I’ve seen the drive and hard work it took for her to make this skincare line on her own from the ground up. After cleansing, I like to tone with Beauty Water by Son and Park, but in my suitcase I carry travel-sized Pixi Glow Peel Pads that I use on layovers. Both work really well for my oily T-zone and congested pores. I let my skin fully absorb it before I move onto my Missha Time Revolution Treatment Essence. For this product, I have to take the full size—I’ve gone through 3 bottles. The trick is to always also apply it on your neck in an upward motion and lightly dab with your fingertips on your face. I like end my AM routine with mixing Sunday Riley UFO Oilwith Shiseido White Lucent All Day Brightener. Because I have oily skin, less is definitely more for me in terms of makeup. I like to wear Juice Beauty Tinted Moisturizer SPF 30 paired with either Glossier Cloud Paint or MAC Powder Blush in Peaches. I hate wearing mascara, so I only get eyelash extensions from this place called Stacy Lash off Beverly Blvd and Fairfax. If I’m not feeling lazy and want some extra bronzy glow on my face, I’ll apply Kevyn Aucoin The Celestial Skin Liquid Lighting around my jaw, cheek bone and hairline. But, I do like to wear a little highlight and lately have been obsessed with Fenty Beauty’s Killawatt Highlighter in Trophy Wife and Ginger Binge. These highlighters are so creamy that it almost doubles as a moisturizer on my cheekbones–a little goes a long way. After, I’ll spritz my face with Avène Spring Water or La Roche Posay Eau Thermale. In my job, we’re required to wear red or pink lipstick or lip gloss at all times and let me just say, there’s real frustration in finding the perfect red. My makeup artist friend put me onto the Nars Velvet Matte Lip Pencils, thank God. Since my lips dry up in the sky, I like to make them less matte with Hourglass Lip Treatment Oil—I’m a gloss gal. I carry so many lip products in my work bag–currently, it’s Fenty Beauty's Gloss Bomb, this Japanese lip balm called Yu-Be, Dior Addict Lip Glow Pomade, and Glossier Rose Balm Dotcom. My absolute favorite gloss is the Duwop Venom Flash Gold because it brings out my natural lip color and plumps them. My hair routine is pretty minimal. Since my hair is wavy, I like to let it air dry and later apply Oshimatsubaki Camellia Hair Care Oil to leave it silky and soft. For shampoo and conditioner, I LOVE Aveda’s Invati line. It’s perfect for when I have wear my hair in a sleek bun at work or when I do my usual half-up half-down pony as my go-to. When I get back, I absolutely love taking baths with Dr.Singha’s Mustard Bath. I suffer backaches and this really just helps me unwind and it smells amazing to me. Since I was a kid, I’ve been using Korean body scrub mittsto exfoliate my body. Depending on my mood, I lather myself with Jeju Volcanic Body Soap, Nuxe Multi-Purpose Oil or Honeysuckle Aura Glow. Being in heels for up to 14 hours at a time really takes a toll on your feet by the end of the day. I get my hands on any type of Japanese foot mask I can find and moisturize with Egyptian Magic. For my face, it’s similar to my AM routine except I also use this Japanese product called Natural Aqua Gel Cure. It’s gross, but I love that it feels like a science experiment since you can physically see chunks of dead skin on your fingertips. After that, I’ll tone and exfoliate with NeoGen Bio-Peel Gauze Pads in Lemon. I’ll moisturize my face with Missha's Times Revolution Night Repair and Mizon Snail Eye Cream and I’ll go to sleep with Laneige's Lip Sleeping Mask on so I wake up with my lips feeling baby-booty soft. Adjusting to this lifestyle has definitely caused me to be more aware of the changes to my skin—not just to my face but also to my body, spiritually and physically. I’m still learning, but some of the best tips I’ve learned so far is to drink plenty of water, take vitamin C and drink ginger tea every day to prevent yourself from getting sick. I always carry a mini face mist, hand sanitizer, sheet masks and rice blotting papers. Also, I’ve learned to heed every single beauty tip from all the 'senior mamas' that I’ve met or flown with. Some have flown for up to 40 years–they know what the heck they’re talking about." —as told to ITG

October 2017 The Prettiest Blush and Bronzers for Right Now October 22, 2017 Our favorite time to conjure a careless, summery, just-back-from-Sardinia vibe is when the mood is decidedly…not careless and summery: A gleamy suggestion of sun is perhaps at its most appealing when we’re curling up on the couch in plush sweaters, sipping mugs of soul-warming hot drinks. All it takes is a great shade of blush and a bit of luminizing bronzer. This is not a one-size-fits all situation, it should be noted: Deeper skin tones benefit from deeper shades of rouge (pale pink smoothed into dark skin shows up chalky, while intense red can be too much drama on someone pale). Bronzer, too, is best when shade-matched: Warm golds—and rose golds—blend most beautifully into dark skin tones, while cooler shades of bronze light up fairer skin. That said, play around and see what color makes your own skin sing. Start with gorgeous blush—makeup artists recommend smoothing it at the apples of the cheeks, then blending it upward at a slight angle toward the temples for a lifting effect. Once you’ve worked it into skin, blend a little bronzer over the top, anywhere the sun would naturally hit. It’s easy to control the intensity of any of these lush formulas, since each can be layered; start with less, and layer as you need.

It’s no secret that berries are important for good health: they can reduce cholesterol, help prevent diabetes and cancer, and are great sources of immunity-boosting vitamin C. And beauty companies are finding that the same nutrients making our bodies run better can also make our skin glow—no berry pie or smoothie required. Many beauty products use toxic chemicals to ease wrinkles, sun damage, and age spots, but natural product companies are using berries to get the job done instead. Ido Leffler, cofounder of the Yes To brand, lauds the use of berries. “Berries are inherently full of nutrient-rich building blocks such as antioxidants, phytochemicals, flavanoids, carotenoids, polyphenols, vitamins, and minerals,” he says. “It’s these components of berries that are known to be beneficial to the skin, most often used for their antiinflammatory and antioxidant properties. Plus they smell delicious.” Karen Behnke, founding partner of Juice Beauty, points out another bonus of berries: “They provide rich colors for our lipsticks, lip glosses, and cheek colors.” Plus, Krysia Boinis, cofounder and CEO of Vapour Organic Beauty, puts it simply: “Berries beautify skin.” Below, find some great information on all the nutrient goodness in berries, our 3 DIY berry beauty recipes, plus a few recommendations for natural beauty products.

It is a powerful antioxidant that helps mitigate damage from free radicals on the skin. It's found in blackberries, blueberries, cranberries, raspberries, and strawberries.

BY RACHEL JACOBY ZOLDAN, OCTOBER 31, 2017 There’s an ever-increasing awareness that pollution—be it from light, air, or water—can have a direct impact on your complexion. So, it’s important to start guarding against those outdoor toxins the same way you would indoor ones—as in: right now, thank you very much. According to a 2013 study published in Clinical Cosmetology Investigative Dermatology, the sun’s UV rays are responsible for approximately 80 percent of visible facial aging signs, including wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and loss of skin elasticity. The good news, though, is that there are more products than ever aimed at helping you ward off effects of particulate matter, second-hand smoke, and even HEV blue light. They’re spiked with antioxidant warriors, which help to bind the unpaired electrons (known as free radicals) caused by your surroundings to help them from causing damage. But, different antioxidants have different super powers. “Green tea helps to diminish damage particularly from UVA rays, while ferulic acid works to scavenge free radicals caused by ambient particulate mater,” says Dendy Engelman, a New York City dermatologist. Other antioxidants such as vitamins C and E also mitigate free radical damage: vitamin C helps to brighten, while vitamin E focuses on smoothing and hydrating. The most important product in your routine, however, is still sunscreen: Not only does it provide broad spectrum protection from the sun, but a recent study also shows that wearing it on the reg may help reverse skin damage as well. So whether you employ one of these products—or scoop them all up—know that you’re not just spending cash at Sephora, you’re also preventing the environment from hurting your bod’s largest organ, your skin.

Hey friends!! Wow, we have seen some truly chilly fall days around here lately and it makes the fun seasonal touches in this month’s Beauty Box feel like such a treat. We really wanted to channel those autumnal vibes since everyone is beginning to change up their skincare and makeup routines. Last month was our first to ship the box and seriously, you guys blew us away with your amazing unboxing pics and videos! It was so special to see you all enjoying our favorite products as much as you did and having fun trying out new things all in the name of clean beauty! Let’s get down to it: Here’s what comes in the November Box … Each box includes a postcard print. On the back there is information about each item with some tips on how to use the product if needed. This month, we chose “be kind.” It’s a message that has resonated so much with us recently as it seems like putting kindness out into the world means more than ever right now. Phyto-Pigments Satin Lip Cream in Cabernet by Juice Beauty (value $24) – From the Phyto-Pigments collection by Gwyneth Paltrow, we LOVE this super wearable color for fall. The formula of this lip cream is so buttery smooth, and plant-derived pigments make it great for your skin! This color looks really dark in the photo, but when applied, it is such a beautiful, universal shade that gives a gorgeous flush of color. We’ll be doing a fun giveaway with Juice Beauty later on this month, so keep your eyes on our Instagram for those details.

Are you looking for one brand for both makeup and skincare? Are you looking for products that are vegan and organic? Do you want to use skincare and makeup products that are not tested on animals? Well, you are in luck. Juice Beauty may just be the brand you need to try.
Juice Beauty began its journey in 2005, by founder Karen Behnke. Her goal was to create organic, natural skincare and makeup products that work just as well as traditional products. (See www.juicebeauty.com). As a result, she created a line that is loved by many and used by both celebrities and the everyday woman. Juice Beauty is comprised of skincare and makeup products, which are also vegan and leaping bunny certified (cruelty-free). Their products also are paraben-free, gluten-free and free of fragrances. One of my favorite items in their line is the Luminous Lip Crayons. I am a diehard, lip product junkie (too many to name) and I am always willing to try a new product. The lip crayon is smooth and creamy. It is a great everyday product to keep in your bag because it provides a pop of color while keeping your lips hydrated. The other lip products include glosses and liquid lipsticks. The brand has become a very popular over the years and can be purchased from stores such as Ulta Beauty or online at Juicebeauty.com. Additionally, their skincare line is extensive, offering anti-aging products, cleansers, and moisturizers. They even have items for kids such as lip moisturizers and sunscreens. At a moderate price point, you can try amazing, organic products without breaking the bank. Go to juicebeauty.com for more information.
