An increasing number of cosmetics companies are doing away with the standard product formulations, and going au naturel. Not too long ago, makeup lovers had to sacrifice pigmentation and performance for the sake of being environmentally conscious. Not anymore. The latest formulas from these companies prove that makeup can be eco-friendly and perform just as well, if not better than their unnatural counterparts.

By the time this article goes live we will have either elected a new President or kept the old one. One of the hot button issues this year was the economy, and the fact we no longer manufacture in the USA the way we used to. Skin Care and cosmetics companies are not exempt from this statistic.

Who says there’s no such thing as a miracle in a bottle? In our search for a quick fix, to shimmy into that too-tight dress or those jeans that shrunk two sizes in the dryer (yes, it’s ALL the dryer’s fault), we decided to give Sunday Riley’s Liquid Diet a try.

Set aside the fruitcake and put those snowflake candleholders back on the store shelf. We rounded up 10 of the most unique gifts and experiences that we think are well worth sharing this Holiday Season.

It’s no secret that we’re huge fans of By Terry makeup. But we’re admittedly a little lukewarm on the company’s skin care.
