Eco (& not so eco) Lipsticks and Chapsticks

I don't wear lipstick often, but seem to have a lot of different options. I wear more chapsticks than anything because my lips get super dry. As you'll see I lean more towards pink colors.

These are some eco lipsticks. The Hourglass lipstick kind of has a funny taste, but I really like the color. The Ilia lipstick conditions and goes on smooth. The Hourglass lipgloss gives a great pop of color, I love wearing it during the holidays.

These are the not so eco options that I use. The Nars lip pencil and lipstick is the colors the make up artist used at my wedding 2.5 years ago and I loved it and decided to buy it. The Chanel color is one that I saw in a magazine years ago and has since been discontinued. YSL lip gloss my husband bought for me as a birthday gift.

I use chapstick more than I use lipsticks. I have been using EOS since they came on the market several years ago. Carmex I have been using for years. I know many people think it is gross to use the kind in the jar, but that is what I prefer, I think because this is what I always saw my grandfather use. Lucas Papaw Ointment is something relatively new I have been using. When I first started using it I thought it was great and it is supposed to work miracles on chapped lips, but as time goes on I am not sure how I feel about it. I think it may dry out my lips more, but I am going to give it a go for a bit longer. Lucas and Carmex are petroleum based, which is not eco at all.

Eco & Natural Make-Up

This week I am going to highlight some eco and not so eco beauty items that I use in my day to day life. These are all products that I really like. Please don't take this as expert advise because I use a very minimal amount of products. I just thought I would share what I like.

As you can see, I am a fan of Josie Maran's makeup, which I have talked about on here before. The only issue I have with Josie Maran products is that they discontinue items often, which really annoys me. I use a very, very small amount of make up. My daily makeup is mascara, eye liner and chapstick. If I am "dressing up" I put on eye shadow and lipstick. I don't use a daily foundation, powder, etc. on my face, but I do use an SPF face lotion.

I will talk about the lipstick I use later this week. Above is Hourglass and Ilia lipsticks I use.

W3ll People Elitist 814

Josie Maran eyeshadow (it has been discontinued) and as you can see I dropped it and broke it.

Josie Maran Argan Black Oil Mascara and Josie Maran eye liner.

I use this to coverup very small touch ups here and there, like a pimple. In all honesty, this is probably expired and I should get rid of it, but it does the trick for me every so often. I'll look into getting something new soon.
