Being pretty does not mean you have to compromise the planet. Many cosmetic companies are seeing the importance of the global climate change problem and doing their part to fight this problem by creating eco-friendly products. Here’s a sensible guide to green make up and body care products that will keep you looking pretty and living green.
For Lips try: PlantLove Botanical Lipstick by Cargo ($20): This lipstick is made out of corn! The outer covering is made out of real seeds so just plant the covering and watch the wildflowers grow.

For your body try: Pangea Organics Canadian Pine with Green Sage Body Soap ($8.00): The great thing about Pangea’s all natural products is that their packaging is

them in water and then plant them to give back to the earth. Check it out at Nordstrom’s.
