A New Official Favorite Lipstain

A New Official Favorite Lipstain

Happy Monday! How was your weekend? I had the best weekend and can't wait to tell you more about it soon! But for now, it's all about my new love interest...

This is an update to a post that I wrote awhile ago when I decided to take some good advice that I've heard over and over again but wasn't quite ready to take: put products on your face that you could eat. Ok, so the real advice is only put things on your skin that you could eat, but I'm just not ready for that yet. I always felt like it had to be all or nothing, but I realized that's just silly. Something better for my skin would be better than nothing, right?

I started buying a few Tarte products, but I was about as optimistic about them as I have been in the past about natural deodorant, which is to say not at all. I've frequently purchased random skincare and makeup products at natural foods stores over the years, and I have found them to be just ok. These products are much better for my skin and my body, and they actually work very well.

In particular, I LOVE the matte lip stain. To the extent that I now own three of them...That's why I had to do a follow up post for you guys.

The color above is fiery, and I also love the Lively and Hope shades. Let me know if you try one and what you think! And nope, not a sponsored post. Still don't do those. Not that famous!

One of my recent goals has been to clear out my house, to get rid of stuff that just isn't serving me in my best version of myself. This includes makeup. I love makeup, and I'm not interested in letting it go, but I do know that I could be using products that are more healthy for me. I cringe at the thought that everything I put on my face is absorbed by my skin when I read some of the labels of my products.

So I've made a few switches (healthier face wash, sweet almond oil for makeup remover, coconut oil for moisturizer along with lots of Burt's Bees products, etc.) lately that are very easy to have made. Then came the makeup, and I've been resisting change, frankly. When I think of less toxic makeup, I think of sad, beige products that don't work that are sold at health food stores. Having grown up basically in a health food store, I resist.

Boy was I wrong. I've slowly been trying out products, and I have hit on a winner!
