Earth Day is coming up soon. To celebrate all that is glam
and green, we’ve rounded up our fave beauty products that are just as good for
you as they are for Mother Nature.
We heart palettes, we do. The problem? Running out of one
color before the rest and tossing the compact once they’re all done. The
solution? Pandora’s Makeup Box customizable and eco-chic palettes. No empty
shades, no throwing away. Brilliance and beauty in one cute package.

Tarte’s lightweight and long-lasting lip sheer has all of
the good – even yummy sounding –
stuff, like coconut oil and mango butter, without the icky junk, like mineral
oils or parabens.

You can’t get the long locks without the strong strands. To get that healthy – and eventually longer –
hair, turn to Not Your Mother’s all natural shampoo and conditioner. It’s
chock-full of vitamins and organic herbs for total follicle nourishment.

With all the nail art designs on your pinboards, you’re
going to have to invest in quality lacquers. That means polishes without the
“toxic trio”: formaldehyde, dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and toluene. Butter London has plenty of “three-free”
colors to boast, including this glittery pink perf for spring.
Disco Biscuit, $14, butterlondon.com
Kudos for getting the glow without the dangerous tanning
salon sesh, girl. For extra eco-friendly snaps, opt for Physicians Formula
bronzer without parabens or synthetic fragrances. Plus, it’s cruelty free.

Split ends becoming your biggest foe? Spritz your strands
with a trusty thermal protectant spray before the ol’ "blow dry then straighten" routine.
Make sure it’s one without harsh sulfates or phthalates, otherwise it’ll do
more wrecking than protecting.
Alterna Bamboo Smooth Anti-Breakage Thermal Protectant
Spray, $24, ulta.com
Always a GL fave, Burt's Bees doesn’t disappoint with their
hypoallergenic and fragrance-free body lotion. Slather on the creamy and organic shea butter blend, and give a sigh of
relief that your delicate skin won’t be soaking in any irritants.
