Wanting to go herbal on the makeup
I’m pretty herbal in the sense that I don’t really drink that much, stopped smoking a couple of years ago, like my morning veggie juice, prefer garlic to antibiotics, know the pressure point for headaches, recycle my clothes, don’t drive a car, eat virtually no meat, use Lush or organic face and body products, choose products that were not tested on animals, exercise my right as a consumer to boycott companies that obviously do not care for the environment/people etc.
But the one bug bear is that I realised the other day I use chemical makeup. Every day, I use products that where possible were not tested on animals (but generally were), have all sorts of nasties in them, the names of which read like something out of a horror movie and are generally not good for you.
I know that the people who brought us Lush (http://www.lush.co.uk/) also have B (http://www.bnevertoobusytobebeautiful.com/) but I’ve never tried their stuff because they still have a list of stuff in there that looks scary.
Does anyone out there know of any eco friendly makeups that work ie eyeliner/ mascara that stays on for 8-10 hours, eyeshadow that doesn’t rub off, lipstick, even bronzer for those days when work has taken its toll?

Bare Minerals by Bare Escentuals is great. The foundation is pure crushed minerals with no nasties and they have eyeshadow etc as well although I have not tried that.
