I hope you is off to a marvelous start! Today, I am excited to share some resplendent newness in clean beauty from some of my favorite green brands. Including from the most utilitarian eyeshadow palette and skin-finish foundation to glowing blush-meets-bronzer and a quintessential red lip. This post will help you creating a vibrant full face with skin (and earth)-friendly products that perform like champions.
Before I continue, I must wish a warm and Happy Birthday to my mom and BP assistant, Laura! I feel so blessed to have her as a best friend and partner in this passion project and cannot imagine my life without her…to know her is to love her!
Introducing the *LAWLESS Beauty The One Eyeshadow Palette
I am thrilled to give you a peek at the *LAWLESS Beauty The One Eyeshadow Palette. It will be available at Sephora and Neiman Marcus soon, which launched this past weekend. Lawless Beauty founder Annie Lawless has built a clean beauty cult following in less than a year. She did this with her stunning lip color and foundation releases and The One palette is her first foray into eyes.
Designed to fulfill all of one’s foreseeable eyeshadow needs (hence its moniker), The One Eyeshadow Palette possesses a formidable array of nonnegotiable mattes. It also has satins and metallics in neutral and bolder tones for seemingly endless combinations and culminating eye looks. The talc-free formula is pigment-rich, velvety smooth and crease-resistant. It has minimal fallout for a stunning eye effect that looks good while being good for you. Simply brilliant!

LAWLESS Seal the Deal
Also, consider a light dusting of the oft-sold out *LAWLESS Seal the Deal in the orbital region to brighten. It also sets everything with masterful, talc-free potency. It’s loose setting powder without the slightest hint of a powdery finish. I hope to try the Golden shade next!

Power pair…the *Gressa Minimalist Serum Foundation 3.5 and *Gressa Minimalist Contouring Serum Bronzer
Gressa Minimalist Products
I have been serious proponent of the *Gressa Minimalist Serum Foundation 3.5 for nearly four years now. Truly the first 100% clean luxury foundation to meet the market, this still very unique liquid formula is rife with Broccoli Seed Oil and other actives to infuse skin with nourishing nutrients while evening out the complexion.
The foundation is extremely lightweight and buildable (from light-medium, all the way to full coverage) with a natural HD finish that simply looks like well-cared for skin. The formula lasts for an impressive 7-8 hours on me with no touch ups necessary and, when combined with a strategic application of the true brown *Gressa Minimalist Contouring Serum Bronzer, skin look sculpted, bouncy and preternaturally fresh. Highly recommended!

Newness from Kosas.
Kosas Cosmetics
Finally, there are two new launches that brilliantly channel the warmth of the sun (in the dead of winter, no less!), compliments of Kosas Cosmetics.
The Phoenix Rising duo consists of *Kosas Helios Creme Blush Color and Light Palette, which involves a creamy tan-meets-blush pigment and gilded illuminating highlighter and the radiant orangey red *Kosas Phoenix Lip Color, which is brimming with lush hydration and intense color payoff.
The Kosas line continues to consistently impress me with smooth and high-peformance formulas that are drenched in a healthy dose of both skincare benefits and pigment and this particular pair of launches is sure to flatter a spectrum of skin tones…get it on the Kosas site while it’s still in stock!

Style notes.
// STYLE NOTES //
Two classic pieces that can be worn the entire year.
- Reformation Cynthia High Waist Relaxed Jeans: I recently ordered these jeans during the Reformation Cyber Monday sale and am so pleased with their fit. Be forewarned, they do–like the rest of the Reformation line–run rather small so order at least 2 sizes up. I generally wear a size 25 and found the 27 to fit like a 25!
- Black and White Silk Blouse: Clean and timeless, this silk blouse can be dressed up or down with ease.
Bottom Line: I hope you enjoyed this introduction to some of the latest clean beauty I’m loving. I am excited to hear what may have caught YOUR eye…do tell!
