Top 5 Clean Perfumes that You Need Now!

Image
Fragrance and perfume is a delight of life.   It has the ability to invoke and stir emotions, memories and create special moments.   Fragrances can convey a mood and they can be an expression of identity and inner confidence.   Two years ago, Green News Guide introduced our Clean, Organic and Natural Perfume guide which contains a list of brands that make or manufacture perfumes that are free from carcinogenic substances such as phthalates and parabens.   If you are clearing out your beauty stash and venturing out to clean beauty, here are a few clean scent faves. Phlur Heavy Cream Hair & Body Fine Fragrance Mist $26 3oz Phlur’s Heavy Cream is a mega popular scent for a good reason.   This scent is heavy on the vanilla with subtle notes of cream, coconut and caramel.   It’s an amazing scent for layering with stronger fragrances that mesh well with a gourmand profile.   Wear Heavy Cream on its own and be enveloped within a cloud of decadent sweet ...

SUNCOAT COSMETICS NON TOXIC NAIL ART POLISH REVIEW

It was pretty exciting to find a nail art set that was all natural.  If you are familiar with natural nail polishes, you know that it's rare to come across an all natural nail art set. It was wonderful to know that there was a natural alternative for women who enjoy doing creative designs.




Suncoat Cosmetics is a Canadian company that sells all natural makeup.  Suncoat cosmetics makes three different nail art sets which come in a variety of colors.  The set that is being reviewed here is called "Earth."  The earth set consists of a white, orange, pink and mint green.  They are mineral based nail polishes and the size of the bottles are 0.26 oz each.  This nail art set did NOT deliver.  When applying the brush to nails, you'll find that the colors are extremely sheer.  The white hardly shows and it is more of a pearly, sheer, ivory color.  When trying to create french tips, the white polish in this package was not able to create a nice white line.  Even after piling on coat after coat, the line still did not appear in full effect.  The color which was believed to be orange was actually a mustard yellow tint.  It was not pretty. The green color resembled dull green clay.




What was even worse was the fact that the colors dried out after a couple of months.  After opening the green and white polishes, the polishes had thickened to no end.  The polish just would not even cling to the brush.  This set turned out to be a waste of $20.  You can get a close up view of the consistency that it turned into below.  This is not like other natural polishes (that will not be named here) that last even after a year.


One other problem about the nail art set is the brush applicator.  The brush applicator needs to be much thicker.  The applicator is just to light and thin to create designs even while with a steady hand.  I'd advise Suncoat to try to formulate colors that aren't as sheer as these are.  Designs created with nail art applicators are meant to stand out.  They aren't supposed to appear as bland or bleak in comparison to the main nail color.  I love the fact that these are natural and mineral based but the colors and brush applicator need some adjustments.

FDA Bans First FD&C Dye! Which Will be Next?

Image
The FDA has moved to finally ban Red Dye No. 3 from use in food and drugs in America.  Red Dye No. 3 was first determined to be a cancer causing color additive almost 30 years ago.  Studies conducted using labs rats found that they became inflicted with the disease after consuming large amounts of Red dye No. 3.  Thirty years ago, the FDA officially banned Red Dye No. 3 from use in cosmetics but left the door open for it to be used as a color additive in food and prescription drugs.  By January 2027, the FDA has ordered that Red Dye No 3 must be removed from all food in the USA and by 2028--from all drugs. Food Manufacturers Shiver in their Boots Red Dye No. 3 has mostly been used in baked goods, sweets and candies.  It is used by prominent candy manufacturers such as Mars Inc (Skittles) and Just Born Quality Confections (Peeps).  Food Manufacturing giants such as Con Agra, McCormick, Heinz, General Mills and Pepsi Co will all have to find alternatives for ...

First Ethical Diamond Made from Agave

Image
1800 Tequila is a spirit brand that has managed to create a diamond made from Mexican tequila. Their tequila is made in Tequila, Mexico using a traditional distillation process extracted from blue Weber agave. 1800 Tequila is known for its flavored tequilas such as coconut and a ñejo , an expression with rich butterscotch and vanilla notes. 1800 Tequila has diverged from their usual route of tequila production to enter the luxury jewelry scene. The unique 5.5 carat diamond was unveiled at this year’s Met Gala whose theme was centered around the Black Dandy expressionist form. The diamond was crafted into a brooch designed by Jonathan Raksha and was worn by actress and vocalist, Janelle Monae. There was no other deserving person to wear this masterpiece as Monae has been somewhat of a new school pioneer of Dandy expressionism.   The diamond was flanked in white gold within an inverted setting surrounded by smaller diamonds and also white sapphires. 1800 Tequila is always pushin...
