Most of us have a nice long list of stuff we want to try right? I do. You should see my bookmarks. I have guilt issues with this though. You really shouldn’t try LOADS of stuff. It’s more eco-friendly to find good products and stick to them. You tend to have less waste this way, plus it saves you $. Luckily the way around the guilt is to use up everything you do try. If you don’t like it, you’re sure to have a girlfriend who will gladly give your beauty castoff item a whirl. Also it helps if you choose items in recyclable packaging.
That aside, I do have a wish list of green beauty products. I tend to buy from my wish list when it’s a special occasion (my birthday! I get a new project i.e. job, or what have you). Here are a few of my yet to try wish list items…
PlantLove Botanical Lipstick: Mainly I want to try this because everyone on the entire planet BUT ME it seems has tried this brand of lipstick and loved it. Yes, I do sometimes jump on bandwagons. Also, I love the idea of 100% plant-derived packaging and of course the fact that this is pretty and organic lip fare.
LUSH – ah LUSH. You do not want to see my LUSH wish list. They have soooooo many cool items. I have managed to get my list down to three for today (or we’d be here forever). My current fave three wanna-try items…
- Blackberry Bath Bomb – love the smell of blackberries. I keep looking for a natural blackberry scented body spray; one that actually smells like blackberries, and as of yet have been unsuccessful. I may have to make do with a bath soak.
- Flosty Gritter Bubble Bar – because I am just that sort of girly girl. I love the pink sparkles. I adore vanilla and lavender and I want it all in a bubbly bar.
- Karma Dusting Powder – I am also that girly girl with some old school hippie mixed in. This powder is a mix of spicy orange, patchouli, lemongrass and marigold flowers. Sigh worthy to me.
Bare Organics facial products. Bare Organics gets the best scores on Skin Deep, and I really need to find a facial cleanser I love. I’ve tried lots, really liked many, but haven’t found one I LOVE. I do have one brand of facial grains I totally love – All Natural Facial Grains but I want a nice cleanser too. You don’t always want grains.
Alima Pure Nourishing Lipbalm – Because I have serious lip balm/lip gloss issues. Coffee is my first major true addiction, but lip gloss comes in at a close second. I have many lip glosses and balms on my wish list, but since I can’t share them all, I’ll share this one above.
Lastly, I also want a good organic or at the very least natural conditioner for my curls. I have never found a hair conditioner I love, organic or otherwise, that actually makes my curls stay smooth. Trust me, I’ve tried A LOT. Some that I may try – based on the Skin Deep rating (2 or lower) and other reviews include:
- Super Shiny Grapefruit & Sugar Beet Conditioner
- Mangrove Hair Conditioner
- Shea Butter and Vitamins Nourishing Hair Mask
- Acacia Milk Conditioner For Dry Hair
There you have it; my current beauty wish list – some more green than others, some more useful than others, but it is what it is.
What’s on your green beauty wish list?
