So if you’ve been following along on my instagram stories & my essential oil journey, you already know I’ve been slowly ditching my personal & household products & switching over to non-toxic, safe alternatives.
I have learned SO much over the past few months about the hazardous chemicals in pretty much every conventional product (including baby products…like WHAT) It’s very unsettling to say the least. Some of my favorite ways to check out how toxic products are OR to find safe ones are the Think Dirty app and EWG Skin Deep Database. Seriously..drop what you’re doing right now and start searching the products you use on those. It’s very eye opening, and although not very fun at first (lol)…SO helpful and necessary. No product is worth reproductive toxicity…like yeah, I’ll pass, thanks!
Anyway! Now that that’s out of the way 😉 I am obviously also planning on phasing out my current makeup products with ones that are non-toxic & safe. But that doesn’t mean I’m willing to give up being able to wear my go-to natural glam, as I like to call it! So the hunt has been real…I’ve always been a makeup junkie and know products & brands like the back of my hand, but this is a whole new world! So many new brands and products to learn, discover, and test out. But I promise to share with you guys every step of this process! And once I establish a new routine with all new products, you bet I will share a tutorial/my makeup routine on my YouTube channel!
So let’s talk about my newest products. These are the first 2 ‘clean’ products I’ve invested in, and so far I am loving them! I did a lot of research & read lots of reviews on these products, so I felt good about purchasing them & was really excited to try them for myself.
The concealer is by Hynt Beauty, and it has SO many great reviews!! And I have to say I def agree with them. The concealer is very full coverage, goes on smoothly, and a little bit goes a long way which I love (I have shade Light). I did notice that it did crease a teeny bit under my eyes, but it wasn’t that bad..and I’m willing to put up with that small con for a totally clean, safe product with great coverage. Hynt’s products are free of toxins, parabens, fragrances, colorants, and are animal cruelty free! They have a complete list of the ingredients they do not use in their products on their site.
Next, the powder foundation is from Nu Evolution Cosmetics. I mentioned this on my insta story, but I don’t typically use powder foundation alone..I like layering it on top of a tinted moisturizer or CC cream so I can get a more full coverage look. I’m going to be testing some new non-toxic CC creams/foundations soon so stay tuned for that. But I’m definitely loving layering this powder foundation, and love the natural, glowy finish it gives! (I have shade 302) The size is pretty huge – 9 grams, so you get a lot of product for the price. The only downside is that my face does get more oily/requires touch ups throughout the day, but that could also have to do with using a CC cream instead of a full coverage foundation which is what I’m used to. (If anyone has any recommedations for a clean, oil control primer, help a girl out!!) These products are also free of toxic ingredients (full list of banned ingredients on their site), not tested on animals, vegan friendly, and organic. Yay!
So I would say these products are definitely win, and that I’m off to a great start with finding safe products without sacrificing my go-to look 🙂
Do you have any favvvorite clean beauty brands?? If so, let me know in the comments! I’m so new to all of this & am open to any suggestions!
