BEAUTY

Slim Pickin’s

Written by Ashley

These two products have loads in common:

  • Slim packaging that  is easy to keep in your makeup bag and easy to slip into your clutch.
  • Can multi-task keeping your routine minimal and easy to transport.
  • Loaded with Acai.  We’ve heard about the pro’s of Acai for the bod, but how about the beauty bag?

Dehydration+Sun = Chapped Lips? Not with SoftLips

I keep this slim little angel in my clutch- my wallet, my cleavage, wherever it fits. My fav, the Acai Berry flavor, keeps my lips natural and light when lip gloss just won’t do, or harsh colors or flavors are too overwhelming.  Softlips PURE lip conditioners are found in mass retailer drugstores, and Target locations all over the US, for only $2.99.  This stuff can also double as a great cuticle rub, if you’re feeling a little dry,

And if I’m feelin a little frisky– the tarte cheek stain is just as portable, and just as handy!

Green Siren1

green siren limited-edition natural cheek stain $30

tarte’s natural cheek stain is a perfect little environmentally packaged addition to your makeup bag, and can be used to not only rosey-up your cheeks for an au natural flush, but can be used to get a little color on your lips, and even for a little sheen on your eyelids, if you’re in a pinch!

But where does the acai come in? While this stuff- a natural version of their best selling cheek stain- is packed with eco-friendly oils and vitamins, it’s also jam-packed with tarte’s exclusive t5 super fruit complexâ„¢, which includes the magical wonder that is acai berry.  In addition,  tarte has been in cohoots with the Sustainable Acai Project:

“With the purchase of every tarte green siren natural cheek stain, you’ll be supporting Sambazon’s Sustainable Acai Project (SAP), a member of the Fair Trade Federation, which helps to preserve the Amazon Rainforest through conservation, improved living conditions and educational opportunities for communities in Brazil.”
