Makeup has become an indispensable part of everyday life for many people; not just for day-to-day activities like going to work or college, but also for nights out and days spent shopping and visiting friends. Beauty looks are also integral to designer collections, and new styles are sought after almost as much as the collections of clothing themselves. In short, makeup, beauty and cosmetics are big news and every year we buy products in their millions. Many have their go-to brands that they return to time and again because their products offer a good finish, because they’re used to them and because they are well marketed and distributed in shops and online. There are, however, many alternatives to these products that could prove life-changing: unbeknownst to many customers, many mainstream and commercial products from huge, internationally renowned brands contain all sorts of chemical nasties that can be damaging to your skin and body. Additionally, they can be extremely harmful to the environment during the production process and when disposed after use.
Becoming aware of the products we use and what their effects are is really important in a world that is looking to improve both its health and its sustainability. At Mary Jane Fashion, we think these products are brilliant in giving us the desired benefits of makeup whilst also being kinder to our bodies and the environment.
Mascara – Logona
Even to those of us who aren’t particularly makeup-literate, mascara is a key part of our morning routine. It helps to widen and illuminate your eyes by giving your eyelashes and uplift with plenty of volume. We’d opt for this formula from Logona, a certified organic cosmetics company that has been working for over 25 years to create products that are not harmful to the environment and do not encourage animal-testing or other forms of animal cruelty. Their vegetarian mascara is free from the harmful parabens, sulphates, petrochemicals and synthetic dyes that can be found in other leading mascaras, but that still provides a professional, high-quality finish. Not only does it provide great colour and definition to your lashes, but the natural formula helps to condition and nourish your lashes at the same time, preventing splitting and breaking so that your lashes are as in condition before use as after.
Lip Gloss – RMS
RMS is a luxury, organic makeup line founded by esteemed celebrity makeup artist Rose-Marie Swift. Incorporating formula ingredients in their most natural states in the forms of enzymes, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, this line of makeup not only serves to give great finishes to your beauty looks but also aims to nourish and protect your skin in a completely eau naturel way. This lip shine, for instance, is 100% natural, certified organic, vegetarian, gluten-free and full of naturally occurring oils like coconut, castor seed oil, cocoa butter and beeswax. These are in place of synthetic products like sulphates and parabens that can be extremely irritating to skin. The high shine and bright colour comes thanks to the Moringa Oil formula that provides both shine and moisture to hydrate and soften your lips.
Makeup Remover – Grown Alchemist
Taking off your makeup, whether you wear natural products or not, is extremely important to ensure you skin is refreshed and clear: nobody likes waking up in the morning with a pillow smeared with mascara and eye shadow! We love this eye makeup remover from Grown Alchemist thanks to its gentle but thorough formula. Light, silicone-free and with key nourishing ingredients like chamomile extract and vitamin E, this formula will actively dissolve and break down even waterproof mascara whilst also soothing and hydrating your skin. Furthermore, the remover is vegan, and free from petrochemicals and parabens which can aggravate and aggressively remove makeup leaving your skin parched and irritated. This effective, nourishing and intelligent remover, from a company that has revolutionised our relationship with natural ingredients and high-quality makeup, will become an indispensable part of your beauty routine.
