Why Organic Makeup

Why Organic Makeup

Wondering what a woman is organic?

I saw the commercial for Nat Geo taboo and a man has a relationship of trust with and "eco-woman." I searched high and low for the answer to what it is. Go to Google. Organic Women Enter, go to the images. If it is the second box. same purple hair, same makeup. That is his obsession. A woman is organic a Blow Up Doll. That's why all the commercials of his mouth is open.

"Jennah" is spot on, he is saying that he never had an organic relationship with a woman (ie, a woman of truth.) There are a lot of strange people out there!

Finally, a set that doesn't shed all over my face!!

by M. Adams from Phoenix, AZ on 2010-08-30
I've wanted to use brushes for a while but the sets I've bought in the past, from Walgreens, Ulta, Target, all shed!! I'd apply my powder and end up picking bristles off my face! So annoying and turned me away from brushes. I decided to try them again, though, after the applicators that came with my eyeshadows kept falling apart. After a little research online and a trip to Ulta, I came home with these attractive, eco-friendly essential brush set. I am so happy I decided to give brushes another try. The applicators are soft, apply the make-up evenly and DON'T SHED!! :) The brushes have a great natural feel to them on your skin, and the handles are light and short making them easy to work with. I use them for every day application. I only wish (and this goes for ALL brush manufacturers) they would put a little instruction sheet in for what/how to use each brush, and label each brushes handle with it's name. I was using each brush for what I thought they were for but found out I was using them wrong when I went to buy more to "complete" my set. The bag is a little small and some of the brushes get squished when I put them in it but I'm going to follow suggestions and just put them in a ziplock baggie or buy anther, larger bag to put them in, as I want to purchase more brushes.


Quality + peace of mind

by B. E. Sanchez from Phx, AZ on 2010-08-07
These are my ABSOLUTE favorite beauty accessories. Seriously, I'll never go back to any other brand when it comes to brushes. After trying these--which are the most gentle on your face--everything else is inferior.. and they're eco-friendly too. Just perfect.


Great for the money

by Bree G. from Plantation, Florida, US on 2010-05-29
I purchased these about two years ago from my local drugstore and use them almost every day. I wash them at least once a month and they have lasted and are still like new. I haven't used the concealer brush because I already had one that works very well, but would use it if I didn't. For the price, these work well and travel very easily which is a plus for me. The reason I gave it four stars is because the eye shadow brush doesn't work as well as others I have had and sometimes makes blending a task, but overall, this is a good set to have.


Best brushes I have used yet.

by J. Mastej from West Haven, CT on 2010-04-28
I bought these because of them being eco-friendly. (There have been some discussions about bamboo being harvested and ruining panda environments, but this company grows their own bamboo supply.) The brushes are really soft, and put my powder make-up on like a dream. I don't use anything cream or liquid. I am sensitive to animal hair brushes, so this was a great alternative for me. Some places online sell them for up to $20, but if you can't find them cheaper, head to your local Rite Aid or Walgreens. I got mine for 10.99 from a drugstore. They would also make a great gift to a vegetarian, organic eating, or eco-consious person. They are my favorite brushes so far.


The best Brushes

by Douglas R. Gould from on 2010-04-26
This Brushes is Amazing...It is so soft and yet gentle in your face, I also like it because it made from bamboo eco friendly product and worth every penny of it!

Fabulous Product

by BOOK REVIEW from on 2010-07-09
This is a fabulous eye makeup remover. Its not oily, its not harsh and drying to your skin. It does a great job of removing mascara quickly and easily without leaving your eyes stinging or the skin around your eyes feeling red and sore.


Excellent!

by Judy in Tucson from Tucson on 2008-04-30
Several months ago I decided to switch to organic skin care products. It was an excellent decision and my skin started looking and feeling better almost immediately.Eye makeup remover was a challenge. I have a long history of eye disease and need truly harmless products. There are a number of good products our there, if you look for them, but they cost a lot more than I'm willing to pay.Eminence Eye makeup Remover is not inexpensive, but it is the best value I could find among high quality, organic eye makeup removers. It works well, the price per ounce is acceptable, and it comes in a great dispenser that protects against containation.

Love it

by Miss Bianca from Puerto Rico on 2010-02-23
I bought the Organic Wear loose powder because I was noticing too many breakouts and blackheads, so a friend suggested using this. At first I didn't like the smell (or lack of), as I'm used to the scent/perfume that's in 'regular' makeup. Organic wear has no added scent so that it's all natural. Now I don't even notice. I don't use the brush that comes with it, I prefer a softer, larger one that I have. Anyway, I've been using it for about three months and my skin has cleared considerably. The first few weeks I noticed that my face got shiny during the day, which bothered me, but turns out that it's great because this doesn't clog your pores like other powders, so I just reapply once or twice during the day if necessary. I went back to get more organic wear products, and they had discontinued this line! Looks like people prefer the scents and allure of popular brands,so they're missing out on this.


Good for those who prefer light coverage or have sensitive skin

by Dancing Ganesha from Bangalore, India on 2008-07-29
This product is for someone who desires a more natural look. I actually prefer the Physician's Formula regular mineral makeup for heavier coverage, mainly for aesthetic reasons, but the Organic Wear is perfect for a more casual cover. I would highly recommend the Organic Wear for someone who already has virtually flawless skin, otherwise, stick to the regular mineral formula, because the Organic Wear, as already mentioned, give a very light translucent coverage; or, if you prefer, use a bit of concealer on imperfections as a spot remedy, and follow up with the Organic Wear. Organic Wear would also be perfect for those who have very sensitive skin. It is very gentle and soothing to the skin and it feels like you have nothing on when you're wearing it!

I LOVE THIS LIP BALM!!!

by Janice Aube Titus from California, USA on 2010-02-07
My boss had given me a selection of this product line two years prior. I used the lip balm every day, and it lasted for a year and a half...with CONSTANT USE!! I kept the tube and was happy to find that I could buy this wonderful lip balm for a great price. Love this seller! Shipped promptly and gave me samples! I recommend the lip balm to everyone!


A great lipbalm with super -antioxidants

by Dancing Ganesha from Bangalore, India on 2008-07-09
This is a very nice lipbalm, and it really is soothing, just as advertised; it has a light scent and taste that is reminiscent of roses and only slightly bitter orange that balances the sweetness. I did not know that this product contains hemp seed oil, but someone told me that hemp is actually a super-antioxidant and anti-cancer product, although most people won't tell you that. I was worried at first about the hemp, but I was told that regular ice cream has more psychotropic ingredients in it than products with hemp (who knew?). The size of the balm is wide, which is also nice, covers a lot of area with just one or two swipes.

~Wonderful~

by sunnysidegrl from on 2010-08-29
First of all, i would like to say that i received these within 3 days and i had standard shipping! When i got them i they felt sooo soft that my 2 yr old daughter was wanting to rub them all over her face! lol i used them and they were wonderful! I was able to apply my make up fast and was really smooth! They did not shed or anything when i washed them either! I would recommend these to everyone!


Very Soft and No Shedding :)

by Clvr//nom from on 2010-07-23
I don't normally use make-up or any kind of product on my skin other than an acne preventer and lip balm so i'm not sure if i quite know what i'm talking about; but this is what i did this morning. I dabbed on some liquid foundation and used the powder brush to dust on translucent mineral veil, and the eyeshaddow brush and coverup brush to blend in some light color on my eyes and i think they work great. they don't leave lines, loose bristles, or unblended areas on your face, plus, they have very decent coverage and don't hurt your skin. I love em' and i doubt i will ever use any other brand from now on. (P.S. I bought mine at my local Walgreens for $[...], and i suggest you do the same. You wont have to wait for delivery [...].) (P.S.S. I think they also sell Ecotools at Target, if you don't have a Walgreens near you.)


Not great

by Sara M. Murphy from on 2010-05-12
The material of these brushes is really fantastic, the bristles are very soft. However, these seem to be all odd sizes, not quite what I had expected. The largest brush, which I intended to use as a loose power brush, isn't as big as I would like. I feel like I'm smearing the power on, not dusting. The next brush has a really small little handle or "nub," it isn't easy to hold and the brush part is actually too large to use for blush as I had intended. The other 2 brushes, which I thought I would use for eyeshadow, are actually too large for eyeshadow - if you want any control that is. Great material, not very useful.


Great price for Great Quality

by Mya from Somewhere on 2010-05-10
I've spent good money on brushes to only have to buy new ones to replace them due to shedding and them getting rough. I bought these and they were surprisingly soft to the touch. I use the foundation brush with bare minerals foundation, and the kabuki for for the mineral veil, works Great together. The eyeshadow brush is a wonderful eyeshadow brush that blends color very well. I use it for my daytime shadowing. The concealer brush works great with bare minerals bisque. I use all the brushes and for the price I would be happy to replace every few months. I've already washed the foundation brush and its just as soft as when i first purchased it. Great Quality for a Great price.


cruelty-free

by C. Van Tyne from Shaker Heights, Ohio United States on 2010-03-14
these soft, sleek, eco-friendly brushes give me excellent service and peace of mind. i can no longer blithely purchase beauty products that i know ride on the backs of cripple, maimed, and murdered animals. i will reseacrh and choose accordingly products that support my philosophy. i find eco-tool brushes to be more luxuriant and hardy than the most expensive sable brushes. the 4 brushes fufill all of my make-up application needs and you cannot beat the prices. if you are considering purchasing them, take the plunge. i do not think you will regret your choice.

organic liquid foundation

by lynne from on 2010-08-21
Love this product. It covers and is chemical free unlike most other make-up products. If it says all natural, that does not mean chemical free.


Definitely not natural

by O. Dumitrascu from Buffalo Grove,IL on 2010-03-30
I don't understand how people can be fooled by the words natural and organic.When it has methylparaben and propylparaben (2 of the most dangerous ingredients in the cosmetic industry) this foundation is anything but natural.So, what is the point of making it out of a couple natural and organic ingredients,when you add the 2 bad guys at the end.


Good stuff

by Chocolate Fan from CA United States on 2010-03-13
It covers, it protects (has spf to it) and it makes your skin feel better to boot.Yup.

Highly recommend this product. It is especially good for sensitive/allergic skin types, has excellent coverage and yet a very natural look. It's the best foundation I've found in over 20 yrs..I use it with their cover stick applied under the foundation, around eye area on dark circles and on blemishes.

I like it!

by E. K. Williams from St. Paul, MN USA on 2010-06-28
This is a great mascara. Another reviewer claimed it never dries completely. I wouldn't go so far as to say NEVER, but it does take longer to dry than the "normal" chemical-laden garbage we've been putting on our eyes for years. I would say, however, that it still feels pliable after it dries, and maybe "moist" in comparison to the stuff that gets so dry that it makes your lashes feel brittle. This mascara certainly has a different feel to it than anything else I've ever put on. I can still move my lashes around once it's dry. It IS more likely to smudge, though, but a dusting of translucent powder around your eyes (or even whatever shade of eyeshadow you're wearing, or your regular face powder) should help prevent that. It works for me.The color is rich, is separates lashes nicely, and even adds length. My only complaint is that because it separates so well, it doesn't do much in the way of fullness, and I have sparse lashes. I compensate for this by applying a few times, and brushing through with a good lash/brow brush. I think if they changed the applicator, it would help.On top of this product performing well, it supports organic farming, (which is good for everyone)and is free of the disgusting, irritating, and harmful chemicals in other stuff on the market.I have also noticed a change in the health of my lashes since switching over to this mascara. My lashes aren't nearly as dry as they used to be, and they don't break off anymore, so they've gotten longer! Hurray!I only wish they made it in brown.


great price for natural,....but a bit lumpy

by Kate from Alb NY on 2010-05-20
i was impressed to see such a good deal on mascara that has less toxins in it. it doesn't hurt my eyes at all (putting on or taking it off). the only thing is it gets lumpy very quickly! so i have to wipe it off but that doesn't bother me.


Good but strange consistency

by Jessica M. Reedy from on 2010-04-29
I bought this mascara because my eyes are super sensitive to normal mascaras. (I think because of the harsh chemicals, etc.) I love the mascara, but it seems to not dry completely. It doesn't clump, has nearly no smell, and is a great color for my lashes. I would highly recommend it to people whose eyes can't handle regular mascaras, just be careful with the fact that it doesn't completely dry. My eyes were never irritated from the actual mascara formula, however, things have been getting stuck in my eyelashes since I've started wearing this. (Small dirt particles from the wind, pollen, and even cat and dog hair!!) I love this product, just not sure I can continue to use because of the strange consistency it has.


Pricey

by Layla from New Jersey on 2009-10-23
I have been looking for this product since it was advertised in a magazine, but could never find any store that sold it. I love the product and paid a ridiculous amount of money for it (approx. $33.00!! for two) when I just saw it in Ulta, one mascara included with a full size tinted moisturizer for $12.95. So I bought that as well. I certainly got ripped off with the former. I could have purchased two packages for $26.00 and had two mascaras PLUS two tinted moisturizers still for less money.
