Clean Beauty Switch Out – So Far
Out with the toxic products, in with the clean ones! I find it a little tricky to bring you on my Clean Beauty journey. I have so much to say & share! I debated only sharing my favorites, but that could take years, so I thought it would be worth bringing you through the trial & errors.
This should not freak you out OR overwhelm you. I mean if it freaked you out a little bit, I guess that could be a good thing? Kind of like anxiety – a little dose can keep a small fire burning under you. So more importantly, this shouldn’t overwhelm you. Luckily, when I started my journey with a cleaner lifestyle I focused primarily on food & didn’t even consider anything else. That was to my advantage because food alone can be overwhelming. When that was all buttoned up it was like the clouds parted & gave me the next piece of information – toxic beauty. Once I went down the rabbit hole of ingredients in beauty AND figured out ways to better understand them? There was no turning back. OF COURSE, I’m not going to put battery acid on my skin. You know what I mean? I’m not devoted enough to anything in my life to constantly let it be harming me. Definitely not a relationship or human being so of course not a pretty, expensive moisturizer. Like, I’ll take the wrinkles, thnkssss.
It’s going to take me a hot minute to have all my products switched out with new ones that I truly love. That process takes a ton of time & freaking money. So I’ll take you with me so you can see what I’ve been trying, maybe it’ll help you relate? Like, we can do this together. Also, you can see the products I’ve decided to skip or don’t like & maybe don’t start your journey with them?
Let’s do this.
Clean Beauty Switch Out
Foundation:
Mascara:
Concealer:
Eye Shadow:
Bronzer:
Favorite: Beautycounter Radiant All Over Bronzer (Dune) – & I haven’t tried anything else! It’s working, so I haven’t prioritized finding another one. This bronzer blends well & does exactly what I need from it. The only reason I would look for another bronzer is to find something in a slightly different shade or creamy texture.
On my list: W3ll People Bio Bronzer Baked Powder, Anastasia Beverly Hills Powder Bronzer (Saddle),
Powder:
Tried: Burt’s Bees Mattifying Powder Foundation, I actually like using this powder to set my foundation & it’s been working pretty well. I have pretty dry skin & this can make it feel even drier, for someone with oily skin, this is probably a great option.
Favorite: I’m still looking for one I really like…
On My List: Mineral Fusion Foundation Pressed Powder, W3ll People Bio Baked Brightening Powder
Blush:
Eye Liner:
Lips:
And that’s where I’m at! WOOFTA, cleaning out all your products is a TRIP! Like a major, global trip! I’ve been working patiently with one product at a time. Not just on my face, but the dishes, washing machine, cleaning products, feminine care – everything! It’s fun for me. I’ll share as I go because we can control the market if we vote with our dollar, so I need you to rally. Buy things you’ll allow in or on your body & the billionaires will have to start paying attention. Muah fuckers! {I’m spicy today. I just finished reading Thank you For My Service in one single day & feel like a literal male right now. That book was… vibrant.}
Also worth noting, I did a HUGE beauty haul at Whole Foods this weekend. YOU GUYS. They had a sale on all their beauty products for 35% off!! I only found out Sunday night, like an hour before closing, I rushed the aisles like I was on a game show. Needless to say… I gotss the productsss. Face masks, toners, moisturizers, face wash – everything really. I’m broke now.
If you have any products that I didn’t mention, please share! You can see I have some gaps that need to be closed so lemme know what you guys are finding!
Have a great week, I love u
Ok – I’ll need to try some of these. I do like the burt’s bees tinted lip balm, I use them all the time, and one I’ve reordered that I love is Thrive Causemetics brilliant eye brightener. I’ve been wanting to try some of their other products as well but haven’t yet. My next one to tackle I think is my foundation, that one scares me.
Oh and I’ve been using the burt’s bee’s mascara – I’m surprised how much I like it!
Yeah the mascara was a big surprise for me too! I’m happy it works so well cuz it’s easy to find & affordable :)!
Ooo Thrive brightener?! So interesting, I haven’t even heard of that. I already googled it, I’ll have to add it to my list. Switching out products is a pain because it takes a while, but if you go product by product it’s also pretty fun… 🙂
