Karma Organic Nailpolish. Free of Toulene, Formaldehyde and DBP.
I'm kind of nuts about cosmetics and even have been known to give makeovers to my dearest friends. Even when I was a tomboy kicking asses and taking names, I always rifled through my mom's makeup and made sure I looked good. FOR ME.
This weekend I met up with a wonderful friend who recently had a bout of breast cancer. I gave her a makeover (she is stunning she doesn't really need makeup) but a little makeup always makes a girl feel pretty.
We were talking about what ingredients were in makeup and I realized I had no idea. And looking at my vulnerable friend I realized how foolish that is. WTF. I'm definitely NOT a granola, crunchy person who is a eco-nazi about things. But it was a makeup wakeup call for me. I was putting on products that could potentially harm my recovering friend. It had a deep impact on me and for someone who is as shallow as myself, well that means something.
So I'm going to try and "green" it up and try NOT to be a dick to the environment. ONE LIPSTICK AT A TIME.
(The next day I got these two nailpolishes and nail polish remover from Whole Foods. They go on a bit sheerer than "regular nailpolish". But it looks nice. Also, the nailpolish remover does not stink to high heaven.)
Here's to turning a new leaf and trying new, healthier shtuff.
xo,
