BEAUTY: Minerals with some bite!

It was hard for us to find a organic cosmetic company-- apparently harsh chemical products and being fabulous go hand in hand. Not a big surprise when you think that some of the most fabulous hair color is banded from the 
I can understand your skepticism. I too truly doubt that this finishing powder gives you the same coverage of some of its heavy duty foundation predecessors. Moreover I doubt that this would get you ready for your close-up. But for everyday wear--I mean let’s face it who really wears cake everyday-- it is an option for a nude face. It’s all about the minerals baby, and for those looking for that JLO look it comes in bronzers and shimmers. Though I am not sure how this translates for complexions with a little more gold, olive, or darker than a natural tan-- their mineral collection comes in an array of colors. I don’t think that organic cosmetics are the wave of the future-- we can’t even get fur off the runways. Fashion has a history of not caring about about little things like saving the earth, and furry animals. But if you want an alternative, to wear to that protest rally I say give minerals a try.
We’re not bias here are some more mineral cosmetic companies:

It is becoming more and more popular to give fashion a conscious. I am not taking about the extremist who jump naked on runways, for little furry animals; though I am sure they believe in their cause. But Gary Harvey has found a way to promote saving the earth that doesn’t involve pepper spray, and the calling of the police. His bespoke dress collection, first seen at the Estethica Exhibition at London Fashion Week (February 12-15 2007), was birthed out of frustration-- which is noble in its own right when you think about how most acts of frustration usually involve a Stair Master or a pint of Haagen Daz. Apparently ten years of being a creative director of Levi Strauss and Dockers Europe leads to an “ethical fashion revolution”. In this case it led to some of the most innovative designs to hit the world of couture in a long time. All of his creations are made from recycled materials including: wedding dresses, baseball jackets, raincoats, and my favorite the Financial Times. Each piece is totally unique and get your check books out--or that credit cards with the chip if your savvy-- because he is now available for private commissions. Oh and by the way he seems to be talented at that creative director thing too. For more information on Gary Harvey contact Balcony Jump at www.balconyjump.co.uk.
