Eco-beauty: EcoTools

ecoTools

EcoTools is a new mass market line of eco-conscious bath accessories and cosmetic brushes. Made from bamboo, natural loofah and recycled plastic, this earth friendly line is plush yet practical.

In the bath accessories collection, you can find a machine-washable bamboo bath sponge ($3.49), a natural straw shower and bath mitt ($2.99) and a recycled bathing sponge ($2.99).

In addition, EcoTools has partnered with 1% For the Planet, an organization that provides financial support to environmental initiatives. This means that 1% of all annual sales per item will be donated to this terrific cause.

EcoTools can be found at select Walgreens, Kmart and Ulta stores or online at ecotools.com.

Eco-beauty: Pure & Natural

Pure & Natural

Pure & Natural released a new line of eco-friendly products for the bath this year.

The Body Wash, Liquid Hand Soap and Bath Soap come in three ingredient combinations (Almond Oil & Cherry Blossom is our favorite):

  • Almond Oil & Cherry Blossom: to moisturize, nourish and soothe skin.
  • Rosemary & Mint to cleanse, refresh and revive skin.
  • Grapefruit & Pomegranate to gently exfoliate and renew the skin.

Not only are these products biodegradable and paraben-free, but they’re super affordable at $3.99 to $5.99 each. (In which case, we suggest you try them all!)

Pure & Natural can be found at mass retailers nationwide.

Queen Elizabeth II

Stop by any of the three Molton Brown emporia locations on Monday, April 21st and be a part of the celebration. (This is why we love to hate our NYC beauty-obsessed friends. They have access to ALL the fun!)

  • Molton Brown Madison emporium, 515 Madison Avenue, 212.755.7194
  • Molton Brown SoHo emporium, 128 Spring Street, 212.965.1740
  • Molton Brown 3rd Avenue emporium, 1098 Third Avenue, 212.744.6430

Every customer that spends $82 or more will receive a gift in honor of the Queen’s special day.

If we could go, we’d buy ourself a White Mulberry Air Candela, the most gorgeous, divine candle you will ever lay your eyes on. Seriously, you must check it out for yourself.

Happy birthday to the Queen from Makeup Bag.
