Goodebox Brings Healthy, Expertly Curated Eco-Beauty to Your Door

Many of us have read a lot lately about less than healthy personal care and beauty products, from lead contaminated lipstick to carcinogenic, mutagenic, neurotoxic, reaction inducing…or just plain bad and irritating ingredients in everything from deodorant to moisturizer, concealer to shampoo, and beyond.  The idea of switching to products that steer clear of suspect ingredients is a good one, but where to begin?  How to give up that trusted eye cream that keeps bags at bay? It’s great to have non-toxic products, but do they work?  Which ones are truly clean, as really, there’s aren’t many standards out there to judge by.  If you are interested in healthy, clean beauty products but aren’t sure where to start or how to separate the good from the…not so good, Goodebox might be your solution.  Goodebox  is a new, members only service providing trial sized clean, non-toxic, eco-sensitive beauty products & cosmetics for face, hair and body, along with occasional natural & organic, health & wellness products.

Membership is $16.00 per month, for as long as you want to remain an active member.  Each month, members get a box of at least 6 ‘trial size’ products.  While a lot of products included in Goodeboxes are likely good for multiple skin and hair types, members get to input their skin & hair issues, color preferences and the like, so that products can be chosen that are more likely to work for them.  In addition, members get at least 20% off of the included products if they choose to buy.  Facebook followers can receive free products when they participate in give away activities and contests, and members that take part in brief product surveys get an additional discount off the product and are also eligible to win free, full size products as well.  Interested?  You can learn more here, or if you’re chomping at the bit to join, away you go!

Are Your Lips Primitive?

Is your lip color Primitive?  Maybe it should be. “  Primitive Makeup, that is.  Founded by Susanna Ronner and Nancy Gaigan, Primitive Makeup is intended to “give tribute to women all over the world, in villages large and small, who for centuries have used real ingredients to enhance their beauty.”  Taking what women have learned and developed through time, they created Primitive Makeup, a line of luxury lip color – rich Lipstick, high shine Lip Gloss, and creamy organic Lip Pencils that sacrifice nothing in performance while leaving out anything that might cause harm,  meaning no preservatives, no artificial color, no synthetics, and no parabens.  With a lovely selection of skin complimenting colors and an incredibly smooth, decadent texture, Primitive lip colors are highly emollient, keeping lips moisturized and healthy, unlike many conventional lip colors that can end  up drying them out.  Used by professional make-up artists dedicated to cleaner, healthier beauty, such as Christy Coleman, and Jessa Blades, you know it performs as nothing get’s into their bags that doesn’t do the job, and do it well.  If you’re looking to lick the lead in  your lipstick routine…or rather, not lick the lead (yes, many conventional lipsticks have been found to contain lead), consider going Primitive.
