Best Organic Beauty Products on a Budget: Reader Advice
Organic, natural, green, eco-friendly—all catch phrases in both the fashion and beauty industries right now, which means navigating the products produced under those labels can be, well, confusing. We like the idea of greening up our beauty routine, but getting organic/natural beauty products on a budget can be a challenge indeed, and knowing which ones we should pick up can be even harder. Kiss My Face is one line we like, with products that are deemed “natural” but aren’t too outrageously priced (like this Kiss & Makeup 3Way Color, $8.99).
But tell us, TBF readers, what budget natural/organic beauty products do you swear by (and don’t forget to tell us where you get ‘em)?
Eco-Friendly Dresses at eDressme.com
What: Our blog, The Budget Ecoist, teaches us how to live a green life on a budget. eDressme.com helps fashionistas like that stretch our desire to be eco-friendly with fashionable, pretty and bio-degradable dresses.
What We Say: Expand your wardrobe and infuse a social conscience into your wardrobe. You might’ve thought “organic” just referred to food—we admit we’re still learning, too. We like the idea that our clothes could potentially help the environment. Wearing these dresses is practically the same as recycling your glass, plastics and metals. Just stylishly.
This white cotton mini dress by Trinity is only $69.00. We like the keyhole in the back, pleats at the hem, and of course, it’s 100% cotton.
The Catalina strapless dress by Zen-Knits features an interwoven waist, a bow in the back, and best of all, a bright and cheery orangey red. Now $85.00.
Do you like to shop eco-friendly? Did you know there was such a thing as a biodegradable dress?
Sewing, Fish Bowls, Green Reading: The Budget Ecoist
Check out these green tips from our blog, The Budget Ecoist!
—Save loads on money by sewing clothes. Whether you alter clothes you already own or buy bolts of fabric and make your own, it saves money and the re-using saves the environment. If you don’t own a sewing machine, head to a local studio. They often offer lessons and space for you to sew. Learn where to go in this post.
—We all know that fish don’t have very long lifespans, and those empty fish bowls often lie around in the basement, gathering dust. Be creative and re-use your fish tank for different decorative purposes. Of course, being the fashionistas we are, we’d probably stuff it with hair ties or beauty products, but The Budget Ecoist has prettier suggestions.
