White Apricot

Somewhere between pink, orange and red lies a shade called coral — and nothing looks better on bronzed skin! Maybe that’s why beauty editors at some of the hottest fashion mags have deemed it THE lipstick shade for summer! At White Apricot, it’s our job to bring you the trends, but in an eco friendly way. So, pucker up with our three luscious coral lipstick finds.

Known for its “celebrity-designed” lipstick shades, Cargo Planet Love’s Evangeline (yes, named for Evangeline Lilly of “Lost” fame) is a sheer vibrant coral cream lipstick, made from all natural ingredients (left/$20).  The extra kicker is that its packaging is completely eco friendly — made from corn. Josie Maran’s Argan Oil Lipstick in Sole Love (center/$20), has medium to full coverage with a nice semi-gloss finish, incorporating 100% organic beauty wonder, Argan Oil, to rehydrate, plump and sooth the lips. Prefer a pot lipstick?  Then you’ll love the pure organic RMS Beauty Lip2Cheek in Smile (right/$36), which does double duty for your lips and cheeks. Your perfect pout will thank you!

Mineral makeup has been the darling of the industry for the past few years, due to the way it allows the skin to breathe without clogging pores. But up until recently, the color options were a little, um — how do we say this — dull — well, maybe not exactly dull, but less exciting then something from one of the edgier brands. Mineral Fusion makeup is working to change that by offering a vibrant color palette for eyes, cheeks and lips. The all-natural products combine superior antioxidants with the finest quality minerals available, so that your skin is being nourished from the inside, while you look great on the outside, We are big fans of eye shadow trios that make the business of creating beautiful eyes simple. We also like the bronzer that left us goddess gold, rather than oompa loompa orange. Prices range from $15.50 - $39 at select Whole Foods and www.gloskincare.com.

Trend Alert:  Pink is not just the “it” color for spring clothes. It is also the shade of the season for your lips. And, you can start pinking up your pout right now! Nvey Eco delivers both lipsticks and lip glosses to get you in the pink. Made from safflower, beeswax, Vitamin E and organic Castor Oil, we recommend Pastel Pink or Pale Pink Frost lipsticks. Armour Rose lip gloss will give you the palest pink look or go for the gusto with hot pink Temptress. Linette Minerals also has some natural pink lip gloss propositions for you, with the added bonus of an all natural “plumper” for those who are so inclined.  We like Bubblegum or Berry. Both are available at www.nimli.com.
