How To Keep Natural Makeup From Smudging by theorganicbunny on February 15, 2018March 12, 2023 When it comes to makeup, one of the most common questions I get asked is how to keep your natural makeup from smudging!? Because most natural makeup is oil-based, the biggest problem I find is that the oil from our skin is coming in contact with the oil-based makeup and it is causing it to smudge. So, that brings us to really only one solution which is doing our best to keep our skin’s natural oils far away from our beloved green beauty! While that seems like a simple goal, it can be quite complicated as there are many moving parts in play. Below you will find all of the tips and tricks I utilize to ensure my makeup stays put all day long! Read More

Nordstrom Launches Natural Beauty by theorganicbunny on March 17, 2017April 11, 2019 You know times are changing when you walk into your local Nordstrom and, gasp… see some of your all-time favorite green beauty brands, right there, available to test out and buy! Talk about major, select Nordstrom retail locations are now fully stocked with some of the latest and greatest green beauty has to offer and I could not be more excited about this launch especially knowing that Nordstrom is one of the leading retailers! As you all know, one of the most frustrating parts about converting over to clean beauty is the fact that most products must be purchased online which can be a deal breaker for those that prefer sampling before they commit. Because of the increase in customer’s asking for cleaner beauty items in Nordstrom, they decided to make that dream into a reality, making it much more convenient for shoppers to grab their faves right there in store, hassle-free. Considering I have been shopping at Nordstrom since I was born, thanks Mom, and also held a part-time job there in college, I can honestly say this is so amazing to see one of my favorite retailers hop on board a train I am oh-so-passionate about. To give you a better idea of how Nordstrom does green beauty, I figured I would walk you through my shopping experience! Besides picking up some old faves, I also picked out a few brand-new items to try which could be dangerous for my credit card to have so many green goodies, all in one place. Read More
What’s Hiding in Your Favorite Chapstick!? by theorganicbunny on November 29, 2016October 1, 2019 You know what it is, it’s Swap It Out Sunday which means today I will be encouraging everyone to take a closer look at their beauty routine, hopefully eliminating at least one bad guy from the bunch! Because this can be an overwhelming task, I find it works best to eliminate things one by one, once a week. Today’s topic? Chapstick! Because the seasons are changing and our lips are becoming dryer than ever, it’s easy to want to reach out for your favorite chapstick and slather your lips in some moisturizing ingredients. However, did you know that most conventional chapsticks found in drug stores or from promotional freebies are full of toxic ingredients with links to cancer, hormone disruptions, brain development, allergic reactions and more? Check out what is in this Blistex Complete Moisture chapstick! Octinoxate– This is a known and studied endocrine disruptor, shown to disrupt the endocrine, hormone, and thyroid with links to breast cancer. Oxybenzone– Known as Benzophenone-3, this helps other ingredients deeply penetrate into the skin with links to cancer. Butylparaben– A preservative toxic to reproduction with links to hormone disruptions and cancer. Ethylparaben– Another preservative with links to endocrine disruption and allergic reactions. Methylparaben– Another preservative that has been found in breast tumors. Propylparaben– Another preservative that shows up in breast tumors with links to possible endocrine disruption and allergic reactions. Petrolatum– This is mineral oil which can cause itchiness, irritations, and allergic reactions, possibly contaminated with carcinogens depending on the source. Sodium Borate– This has links to respiratory and skin irritations with possible fertility-damaging risks. As you can see, all of the above is anything but clean or healthy for our lips. Why use a product full of so many synthetics, artificial flavors, carcinogens, and irritants when there are endless safer swaps to try instead!? Safer Chapsticks To Try Instead- Osmia Organics Honey Myrrh Lip Repair– $22 Osmia Organics Lip Doctor– $12 Henne Organics Luxury Lip Balm– $22 Kiss Me Honey Lip Balm Trio– $15 Malaya Organics Lavender Lip Savior– $12 Pogo Lip Balms– $4 Laguna Herbals Lip Balm w/ SPF– $3.75 100% Pure Lip Balms– $6 100% Pure Lip Butters– $12 All of the above chapsticks, lip balms + butters are the very best I’ve found.
