Fad*ish- fashion and design

It was hard for us to find a organic cosmetic company-- apparently harsh chemical products and being fabulous go hand in hand. Not a big surprise when you think that some of the most fabulous hair color is banded from the US due to questionable materials. Most organic cosmetics make you look like you were wearing organic products-- they are about as glamorous as bees wax and not shaving. But we unearthed something that seems worth it, Lily Lolo’s mineral cosmetics.

I can understand your skepticism. I too truly doubt that this finishing powder gives you the same coverage of some of its heavy duty foundation predecessors. Moreover I doubt that this would get you ready for your close-up. But for everyday wear--I mean let’s face it who really wears cake everyday-- it is an option for a nude face. It’s all about the minerals baby, and for those looking for that JLO look it comes in bronzers and shimmers. Though I am not sure how this translates for complexions with a little more gold, olive, or darker than a natural tan-- their mineral collection comes in an array of colors. I don’t think that organic cosmetics are the wave of the future-- we can’t even get fur off the runways. Fashion has a history of not caring about about little things like saving the earth, and furry animals. But if you want an alternative, to wear to that protest rally I say give minerals a try.
