Best places to shop green products on a BLACK FRIDAY

I hope you all had a happy thanksgiving day! Before i headed to bed last night, i checked my emails and saw a lot of great deals are on for a Black Friday! So i wanted to do this post and let you all know about where are the places i shop for my green products.

- Lucky Vitamin

   My favorite company to shop with natural cooking ingredients and vegan and paraben free skincare. They always have free shipping when you spend more than $49. It is happy to see some good companies that are really care about their customers and I will always support them!

The other place to shop natural skincare and household products. I found Lucky Vitamin has better price but Vita cost seems to have a better selection.

- Naturisimo

http://www.naturisimo.com/

The UK based online green beauty products company. I came cross this company when i looked for Lavera skincare which are from Germany and they sell it at high price in the US. Naturisomo has affordable to high-end skincare products. The thing i love about it is i can explore about more Eco beauty products that are from UK and Europe. Free shipping worldwide!

- Beauty Sage

I never shop with this site but they sell "Ilia beauty" which has the best ingredients lipstick. I own one myself and want to buy more colors. 20% off for the entire site plus free shipping

Code: GOBBLE

- PACT

http://www.wearpact.com/

This is not a beauty online shop but sells organic cotton underwear. Underwear always stick on your skin for 24 hours so it is better to buy organic cotton or non-dyed materials.

My all time favorite lip products!

Lip balm, lip tinted, lipstick and lip gloss. I love all of them. That is why I am introducing my lippy collection. Most of them are natural without harsh ingredients. I hope you like it and please share your favorites lip products to me.





From Left to Right: Sugar Petal by Fresh, Alba SPF 15 Blaze, Burt's Bee Sweet Violet, Rose, Red Dahlia, Dizzy by ILIA, Soft Bronze by Lavera

Sugar Petal by Fresh: A nice pink color that is very similar to my lip color. With SPF 15, you can't go wrong with this. The down side is some of the ingredients I don't really like.

Alba SPF 15 Blaze: Love, love, love this lip balm. (sorry for the peeled package). When i was looking for a SPF lip balm that came cross with this one. I was surprised with the price (CHEAP!) and the good quality. It says it is 100% mineral colors and chemical free SPF. Natural SPF 18 plus nice color on it, also you can't beat the price. DONE DEAL!

Burt's Bee Sweet Violet, Rose, Red Dahlia: They are nice colors with a layer of shine when you apply on your lips. It doesn't feel greasy nor thick. However, the colors are quite sheer that don't really appear on my lips. I guess the colors are build-able. I will keep using it, especially Sweet Violet which has nice pink and a hint of purple color. It is good for spring and summer.

Dizzy by ILIA: When i first got into green skincare, i went to a store in San Francisco that i can get ILIA products there. I didn't want to buy a lipstick that i can't try it on, so the sales girl helped with to choose this color- a beautiful/ summery orange color. It's called "tinted lip conditioner", so it's not really a lipstick which feels more like a tinted balm. It is the most expensive one out of others lip products i have. $24 with sale tax. Ouch....my wallet hurts. I like the texture and color.Maybe i was obsessed with  this brand's imagine and you can always see ILIA in high fashion magazines and fashion shows. I want to try other colors but i need to save some pockets money first.

Soft Bronze by Lavera: I like Lavera products! Hey! Any product from Germany, who doesn't like it? I have a German car, a German dog and a husband who lived in Germany. Lavera proucts, just pick any you would like it as well. This lip balm has a soft shimmering nude color, i think it's good with a smokey makeup. Around $6 for a nude color lip balm, it's not that bad. Plus, It's Lavera from Germany. Please go get one!

From left to right: Gisella by Becca (not a green lipstick), lychee by 100% Pure, Valentine and Burlesque by Honeybee Gardens, Paint me healed and paint me free by Peacekeeper, Vroom by Silk Naturals. 

Gisella by Becca: I have to say it this is the color that i always want it and get a lot of compliments when i wear it. However, it's not a natural product. I hate you Becca! Why you are using all these nasty ingredients that my lips say "NO!" to you. I have been looking for this pale pink/ nude color with a nice pigment in any green lip products and I haven't be able to find a similar one though. Please let me know if you can find a similar color to this. I will send you back a gift if you could find one. 

Ingredients: http://www.dermstore.com/product_Sheer+Tint+Lip+Colour_18910.htm

Lychee by 100% Pure: Nice package, nice natural ingredients, and affordable price! WIN WIN! It's a little dark on my lips. It's almost red but not and almost pink but not really, it's a dilemma on my lips. (my Asian skin tone). $15. I would try to get another color and see how it goes.

Valentine and Burlesque by Honeybee Gardens: Valentine: a girly pink color that all young women would love to have one. It has good natural ingredients but the lipsticks are easy to BREAK! The second time i put it on, it broke afterwards. Now i have to use a lip brush to put in on. Burlesque: Sparkly ruby fuchsia color that is build-able. I love the textures, colors, and ingredients but i need a lipstick that is not easy to break! 


Paint me healed and paint me free by Peacekeeper: Sorry about this! These beautiful lipsticks are discontinue. What a bad decision! Because they have beautiful shades and best ingredients. I guess it's difficult to compete with other companies so they decided to stop carrying them. I emailed the company and asked why they don't have it on their web-site anymore, but i never get a reply. Hopefully they will come up with other good lip products soon! Wait! I just found out that you can still buy the lipsticks online just not with their web-site! YEAH!


Vroom by Silk Naturals: I know about Silk naturals from a YouTube green beauty guru. VROOM! a cool tone red color that is good for any occasion. For a wedding, Christmas and New years day. The creamy texture and a nice pigment. A beautiful long-lasting natural red lipstick that is lower than 10 bucks. A must-buy item! 


Thanks for reading and have a great week!
