Doing Drugstore: Physicians Formula New Eco-Friendly Cosmetics

BellaSugar — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 07:00:00 -0700

Physicians Formula has gone green! The brand has recently launched a line of eco-conscious, animal-friendly cosmetics called Organic wear. The packaging is made from (mostly) recycled paper as opposed to plastic, the brushes are goat hair, and every product is free of parabens, chemicals, preservatives, and fragrance. This is great news for those of you with sensitive skin.

Organic wear products are made from internationally certified organic ingredients that have been EcoCert-approved. I've tried several of the items and what I love the most is that they are natural-looking, build-able, and mattifying. I say if you have the option to indulge in something that is good for your skin and good for the environment, then why not make a choice that can help preserve our planet?

I also love the goofy model, who reminds me of Cabbage Head. For the scoop on each of the products, read more.

Doing Drugstore: Goody Haute Society Collection

BellaSugar — Tue, 14 Aug 2007 16:30:23 -0700

I'm really liking the fall hair accessories from Goody. The Haute Society collection fits in perfectly with the ladylike fashions of the upcoming season, but they're not nearly as expensive as they look. The clips, headbands, and barrettes have a rich look without high price tags-everything is less than ten dollars, and it's available only at Target.

The shapes are fairly traditional, but they've been updated with deep textures and colors. For instance, hair elastics are done in metallics, and headbands are wrapped with satin. The palette is dominated by bronze, pewter and ruby tones (plus a few pearl accents). To see more of the collection, look at the gallery below.
