green luxe for less – fabulous green buys from your local drugstore

We are all green beauties on a budget, and are always on the look out for products that provide a significant bang for our buck without the unhealthy compromise.
Organic Wear® by Physician’s Formula and ALMAY pure blends™ have many great products that I like to work with, and you can find them at your local drugstore!

Organic Wear® by Physician’s Formula is not only good for your skin, it is good for the environment. All formulas are free from harsh synthetic chemicals, colorants, preservatives and fragrances. Each eco-friendly package is made of either paper or recyclable plastic, boasting 93% less plastic than most traditional makeup compacts. All products consists of organic formulas that have been certified by ECOCERT – An internationally recognized organic certifying agency.
