Kick your beauty-dependence on oil to the curb

Frustrated with America’s dependence on oil? Wonder how to tackle this monster? While we work to skip the pump long-term, we can limit plastic, mineral oils and petrolatum on our next trip to the store. Only about 1/3 of oil from the barrel creates gasoline, and the other 2/3 produces oil bi-products, some of which we put on our bodies. To keep oil out of your beauty bag, pay attention to ingredients and try some of these petrol-free makeup options.

Honeybee Gardens – Lip Gloss

Oil-free lip gloss is just peachy! Honeybee Gardens Hollywood Luscious Lip Gloss flatters every skin shade. Tastes like orange essential oil, not mineral oil, while cocoa and shea butters provide long-lasting shine.  Get it online here.

Jane Iredale – Nighttime Eye Shadow Kit & PureGloss

Jane Iredale formulates beautiful eye and lip color. I religiously use the Nighttime Eye Shadow Kit (Kiss, Supernova, Khaki, Dusk & Merlot) to spice up my brown eyes day or night. And for a true rich gloss experience, try Jane Iredele’s PureGloss in any color.  Get it online here.

*We’ll  give away two PureGlosses to one new sassy YDT subscriber.

Johnny Concert – Vegan Mineral Blush & Organic Lip Gloss

For city girl color, try Johnny Concert! I use the Vegan Mineral Blush in Pussy Cat (lilac pink) and Sex Me (bronze) for a sweet sweep of cheek tint. Then apply Attikiss Organic Lip Gloss for a bright pink pout.  Get it online here.

Johnny Concert offers an online discount: LOVEYDT for free shipping on orders of $50 or more.

Organic Glam – Illuminator & Mineral Eye Shimmers

Find the light, as Tyra says! For an intense illuminator, use Organic Glam Highlighter in Silver Ice on top of cheek bones or as an eyeliner. I’m also obsessed with Organic Glam’s Eyeshadow Copper Shimmer for a smokey eye.  Browse online here.

Tarte – Dark Circle Defense & Lash Hugger

Tarte creates my favorite cover-up sans mineral oil and petrolatum. This formula goes on creamy to blend with your skin tone and locks in place all day. Add a sexy splash of lash with their Lash Hugger mascara and your simple jeans and t-shirt look is done! Tarte offers an online discount: DT25 for 25% at tartecosmetics.com

Zosimos – Lip Gloss

From A to Z, a girl can never have too much lip gloss! I was so happy to find Zosimos Lip Gloss in Peony (fuscia) and Black Cherry(dark burgundy). Formulated with only vegetable oils, pomegranate, orange and rose oil this gloss is not sticky…hooray!

Zosimos will give away a lip gloss color of your choice to two lucky YDT subscribers.
