Celebrating National Lipstick Day with 4 Clean Beauty Lipsticks

· 1 Comment

Happy National Lipstick Day!  Today we celebrate the expanding range of clean beauty lipsticks. Gone are the days that clean meant waxy formulations and weird shades. Now clean beauty includes pretty packaging, flattering shades and skin friendly ingredients. We look at 4 clean lippies seen on Style Chicks.

Madame Gabriela Beauty Clean Luxury High-Performance Ingredient Driven Lipsticks

Here are our findings on four clean beauty lipstick brands with flattering shades and sleek packaging!

Why Clean Lipstick

Many lipsticks contain chemicals you would not voluntarily ingest. But for years, most clean or natural lipsticks had hard, waxy textures and limited color selection.  They generally were only found in natural health stores, and most of us felt much was to be desired.

Here are beauty brands who upgraded the clean beauty lipstick experience.

Viola Rouge

VIOLA ROUGE lipsticks come in 24 shades of satin or shimmer finish. We got to try two of them, Status Symbol and Blueberry Flower, as seen here:

Viola Rouge recommended these two shades for my skin undertone

The texture is silky, weightless, and glides on evenly and with precision.  It contains Saffron flower extract to diminish hyperpigmentation and protect against UV radiation.

It also has Organic Blueberry Oil to minimize fine lines, and Black Cumin Seed Oil to lock in moisture.

This non-GMO formula is made without:

  • paraffin
  • gluten
  • mineral oil
  • nanoparticles
  • parabens
  • phthalates
  • sulfates
  • ureas
  • silicone D5

Madame Gabriela

The Madame Gabriela range has three shades held in sleek packaging and magnetic push button base. The ingredient list is exceptional for what it does – and does NOT contain.

Rich color payoff and the sleek magnetic load lipstick bullet makes me feel like a Bond Girl.

It is an ingredient-driven lipstick that has a luxury lipstick look, texture and feel. Packed with hydrating Bamboo extract and Manuka honey, plus Sesame Seed, Avocado, Jojoba, Castor, Sunflower Oils, along with Shea and Cocoa butters, there are no fillers or chemicals. Even the vanilla scent is natural vanilla!

Caley Cosmetics

This clean beauty lipstick contains notable skin treating ingredients such as:

  • Abyssinian Seed Oil is high in linoleic acid which forms the lipid barrier to hold moisture in skin cells. This keeps lips hydrated.
  • Watermelon Seed Oil is rich in the unsaturated fatty acids linoleic and oleic acids. It has antioxidant activity and the vitamin E compounds protect the skin from oxidative stress and photo-aging. It also contains essential vitamins, and minerals to enrich lip skin. It absorbs quickly. [1]
  • Mango Fruit Extract is high in copper, which is fantastic for delicate lip skin! Copper builds Collagen, Elastin and increases Hyaluronic Acid production which keeps lip skin plump and springy.[2]

Pinch Of Colour

Pinch of Colour Matte Velvet Waterless Lip Colour has long-lasting coverage and a rich dimension to it’s a glam finish. Plus it is packed with lip-loving hydrating ingredients such as Jojoba, Mango Seed, and Rosehip oils.

You will note water is missing from the Pinch of Colour ingredient lists.

The colors range from muted to bright. They are quite vibrant and pigment intense, and the macadamia oil makes them especially nourishing and creamy.

Beauty Benefits of Green Tea

· Leave a Comment

Green Tea is consumed as a beverage for health and beauty benefits. But it also works wonders when applied topically. An ingredient in many skin and hair products, this anti-aging superstar offers a host of beauty benefits.
Flowering Camellia Sinensis

Flowering Camellia Sinensis, the plant that makes tea leaves

Green Tea Skin Benefits

Green Tea feeds and moisturizes the skin, calms irritation, and is an excellent antioxidant. Topical Green Tea application can calm the irritation that aggressive topicals such as Retinol cause.

Green Tea on a compress or cotton pad can soothe inflammation from sunburn or angry cystic acne.

Drinking green tea has anti-aging benefits from polyphenols. It can reduce sun damage, decrease collagen breakdown and increase cell regeneration.

Green tea contains polyphenols that soothe skin while providing antioxidants. Polyphenols may improve sun-damaged skin. [1]

High in Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), Green Tea is a major player in skin health and appearance. EGCG is the potent antioxidant from green tea. It protects against environmental damage and neutralizes free radicals that prematurely age skin. Research shows EGCG reactivates dying skin cells.  This shows promise for repairing sun damage and scar healing.  [2]

Hair Benefits

Topical application of Green Tea reduces hair fall. Dermato-trichologists use green tea as an excellent scalp massage as it nourishes the scalp, soothes inflammation and dandruff. The Polyphenols in green tea are good for hair roots and follicles, promoting hair regrowth. [3]

Green Tea removes DHT from the scalp. DHT is a hormone that accumulates on the scalp and chokes out hair follicles, shrinking them until they no longer grow new hair. Green Tea can remove DHT from the scalp.

Choose a quality whole leaf tea to brew your own green tea for DIY beauty benefits, or choose from some of our favorite products that incorporate green tea in their ingredients.

Brew green tea for 2 hours and allow to cool. Pour into a squirt bottle to use as a 5 minute treatment on your hair and scalp in the shower.

Choosing Green Tea

Superior results come from full leaf tea that is fresh.  Choose full leaf loose tea whenever possible, not the dust found in tea bags.

  • Adagio teas has loose leaf teas that are fresh and do not contain preservatives. Choose one without added sugars.
  • Local health stores may also have bulk loose leaf tea.

DIY Green Tea Treatment Ideas

  • Use brewed and cooled green tea as a soothing and nourishing face wash.
  • Rub your face with green tea ice cubes for a refreshing morning pick me up that makes skin glow.
  • Soak a muslin cloth in green tea and place in a Ziploc baggie in the refrigerator. Use as a cooling facial compress over a moisturizer or mask.
  • Add brewed green tea to bathwater or a foot soak.
  • Rinse washed hair with green tea for shine. Focus on a gentle scalp massage to remove DHT.

Recommended Beauty Products Featuring Green Tea

Some products we use that feature green tea in their ingredients include:

Haruharu Wonder Honey Green Brilliant Cream

Haruharu Wonder Honey Green Brilliant Cream is a lightweight gel like cream that absorbs quickly with no tacky dry down.  It is lightweight enough for day use but packs the ingredients of a decadent treating night cream, including several synergistic fermented ingredients, such as fermented green and white teas, that promote collagen synthesis.

Haruharu Wonder Honey Green Brilliant Cream

Haruharu Wonder Honey Green Brilliant Cream

ROIL LIFE SHAMPOO

Developed by celebrity hair stylist Amanda George, the ROIL Private Collection range features green tea in products such as their Roil Shine Shampoo and Roil Body Lotion.

ROIL Shine Shampoo has a decant lather and leaves hair clean yet hydrated. The Green Tea pairs well with Indian Gooseberry and Rosehip Oils.

 

BeautyStat

BeautyStat Universal C Refiner combines green tea’s EGCG with a stable Vitamin C for strong anti-aging protection. The green tea makes an excellent buffer so skin can tolerate the vitamin C.

 

 

 

emerginC Eye Serum

EMERGINC Scientific Organics Eyelight Serum combines green tea with Komucha, White Tea, Grape Stem Cells, Seaweed Extract and Yerba Mate.  It depuffs eyes while treating signs of aging.

Strawberry Leopard is a vegan semi-permanent that leaves hair in better condition than it found it. It comes in an array of vivid hues for a bright pick me up without the damage typically associated with dying your hair dramatic shades.

Meet Strawberry Leopard.

Love vibrant shades but hate the hair damage that often comes with it? Then check out Strawberry Leopard!

Strawberry Leopard in "Grapeful"

Strawberry Leopard in “Grapeful”

What It Is

A semi-permanent, Vegan, conditioning formula with bonding technology. Vivid color without hair damage.

Why It Is Special

It is super easy to use this cruelty-free formula and it leaves hair in better condition with several nourishing ingredients.

It leaves no colorful residue on the sink or shower tile.

There is no developer to mix, yet it deposits bright color, with the brightest results seen on pre-lightened hair.

To that end, Strawberry Leopard makes an excellent lightening kit with everything you need to get a good clean base for your bright colors to look their best.

We will cover the Strawberry Leopard Light Me Up Lightening Kit in a future post.

Strawberry Leopard Light Me Up Lightening Kit comes with everything you need to pre-lighten your hair for tipping, highlighting or bleaching

How to Use It

Choose your shade or shades.  Mix any shade with the Strawberry Leopard Pastel Mixer for more subtle results. Unlike traditional dyes, it smells like a fruity treat. It reminds me of strawberry candy!

Shake the bottle well. Then apply in a tint bowl and tint brush method to your clean, dry hair in quadrants. It is best applied in one-inch sections. No developer to mix, and no nasty smell! Leave on for 20 minutes.

You can use foil to do just a section of hair.

You can mix colors together to make a custom shade, or apply several colors.

Just rinse with cool water, no shampoo or conditioner afterward. The color lasts up to 8 weeks.

It is an easy to spread Gouache gel paint-like texture – not at all runny or drippy

Once the bottle is opened, it lasts for a year.

TIP: The Strawberry Leopard website says that a small amount of Strawberry Leopard Semi-Permanent Hair Color can be mixed with your daily conditioner to keep color vibrant between touchups.

Strawberry Leopard Shades

Strawberry Leopard comes in 17 shades and a Pastel Mixer. The Pastel Mixer lets you turn any shade into its’ pretty pastel counterpart.

Here are a few shades we got to try:

 

Loyal Blue

Strawberry Leopard Loyal Blue is a true blue shade, a crisp and highly pigmented crystal clear hue.

Loyal Blue

Strawberry Leopard Loyal Blue is a rich, creamy true blue hue.

 

The creamy gel consistency spreads easily without being runny.

“Fingerpainting” with Loyal Blue shows the color. Leave on a full 20 minutes to see this shade on your hair, less for a more subtle effect. Highly pigmented, true blue shade

Grapeful

Strawberry Leopard Grapeful is an intensely purple shade.  It looks almost black coming out of the bottle because it is so highly pigmented. It is similar to purple toning shampoo in an indigo purple intense color.

Here is how the color looks when “fingerpainted” in indoor (top) and outdoor (bottom) light:

Bali

Strawberry Leopard Bali

Strawberry Leopard Bali is a pretty strawberry pink with a hint of bright coral. The result is a soft rose gold pink. Here is a close up:

Gray Hair:  While it will leave some tint on gray hair, as always, gray is generally tricky. But this is a conditioning formula, so you have nothing to lose by experimenting! The darker shades leave more pigment on gray hair than the pastels.

Another thing that is special about Strawberry Leopard is how well it treats hair after it has been bleached. Bleached hair is often porous, dry, and damaged.

Take a look at some of the ingredients in this conditioning vegan formulation:

The Ingredients

Mango Seed Extract restores dry, damaged hair

Mango Seed Extract

Mango Seed provides a long-lasting emollient. Rich in fatty acids, it keeps hair hydrated and nourished.

Mango Seed Butter also contains Vitamins C, A, E, K, and B6.

Mango Seed Extract is high in copper, which supports healthy hair follicles.

 

Shea butter definition at StyleChicks.com Defining Beauty Glossary

Shea Butter

Shea Butter

Shea Butter is protective and nourishing.

 

Panthenol

Panthenol (B5)  is a humectant, emollient, and moisturizer.

Panthenol penetrates the hair shaft and locks in moisture. This makes hair look healthier by boosting shine and plumping the hair shaft. More volume gives even damaged or thinning hair a healthier appearance. [1]

For very porous hair, Panthenol behaves like a protein.

 

 

Rice Bran

Rice Protein

Hydrolyzed Rice Protein

Hydrolyzed Rice protein is a secret hair weapon because it contains Inositol.

Inositol repairs hair breakage and damage. It penetrates deeply into the hair and helps repair the broken hair bonds.

Hydrolyzed Rice protein also contains Antioxidants, Vitamin B6, Vitamin E, and amino acids.[2]

 

 

Lavender Oil softens hair and skin

Lavender

Lavender Flower

Lavender’s anti-microbial and anti-bacterial properties keep the scalp healthy. It has soothing properties to calm any scalp imbalances such as inflammation or dry skin flaking.

The linalyl acetate in lavender enhances hair cell growth.

 

Tocopheryl Acetate

Vitamin E promotes scalp health.

 

This formula has a hydrating Sunflower Oil base combined with soothing, skin rejuvenating natural ingredients

This formula has hydrating Sunflower Seed

Sunflower Seed Extract

Sunflower Seed Oil retains moisture in brittle hair, thereby reducing hair breakage.

Ideal for coarse, colored, bleached, curly, or damaged hair because it penetrates the hair shaft to lock and retain moisture.

It contains Omega 9, an essential acid needed to stop breakage and stimulate hair growth.

The main component of sunflower oil is linoleic acid. Its other components include oleic acid and palmitic acid, lecithin, carotenoids, tocopherols, and numerous vitamins.

 

 

Flax

Flaxseed

Linseed Seed Extract

Linseed, AKA flaxseed, is high in fatty acid Omega-3s.

It is considered a hair “superfood” as it creates lush hair and reduces breakage.

Zero Boring Ingredients: Earth Wise Beauty Passion Eye Serum

· 1 Comment

EARTH WISE PASSION EYE SERUM is an organic, wild-crafted, unscented, silky eye serum boasting zero boring ingredients. It has amaranth, passionfruit, and Rosehip Seed Oils, plus sea buckthorn berry CO2 extract, murumuru butter, and Brazil nut. It deeply hydrates the delicate eye area skin.

Why Passion Eye Serum is Special

Small batch and wildcrafted, Earth Wise Beauty Passion Eye Serum promotes collagen and skin elasticity while deeply hydrating eye skin. Yet it doesn’t irritate the skin.

And despite some aromatic wildcrafted ingredients, there is no scent to set off sensitivities. I love Rosehip benefits but can rarely tolerate the aroma around my eyes. Passion Eye Serum managed to use some ingredients that typically are overwhelmingly fragrant.

By their natural extraction methods, Earth Wise gets the best out of these organic ingredients without the olfactory wallop. The result is a serum that delivers an exceptional product that can be used by highly sensitive skin types.

The Passion Eye Serum Experience

Passion Eye Serum is notably silky.

This lovely deep golden hue, dense oil is dispensed from a bubble top dropper.

Just a drop is enough for the skin around the orbital area of both eyes. It is not at all sticky or tacky.

Silky, golden oil dispenses one drop at a time from this bubble dropper

It absorbs well and dries down smoothly without being greasy. Skin feels bouncy and looks dewy. Regular use promotes skin firmness. We love that it is unscented! It comes in two sizes, I wish we got the larger bottle.

Just a drop of EARTH WISE PASSION EYE SERUM treats the skin around both eyes.

Sea Buckthorn Oil is like a who’s who of nutrients including vitamins A, B1, B2, C, D, E, K, and P; carotenoids; flavonoids; amino acids; phenols; folic acid; organic acids; 20 mineral elements, and essential fatty acids.[1]

Tamanu Oil is a versatile oil with a rare fatty acid profile that makes skin softer, hydrated, and more pliable while promoting healing. Tamanu Oil research studies are limited but support Tamanu’s skin healing abilities.

 

Tocopherol

A form of Vitamin E used in skincare preparations. This particular vitamin E comes from non-GMO sunflowers.

Tocopherol softens the skin, easing the rough edges of wrinkles while making photo-damaged skin more pliable.

Passion Eye Serum contains Vitamin E derived from sunflowers

Earth Wise Passion Eye Serum also contains gem essences, including ruby gem essence, clear quartz gem essence, and lapis lazuli gem essence. Think like a charged tourmaline water such as found in Creme de Le Mer, but with the benefits of each retrospective crystal or gemstone. I don’t know how it works, but the result is pretty darn good.
