Bare Faced Beauty- Lady Gaga’s New Look?

Organic cosmetics lovers It is not very often you get to see Lady Gaga without all her theatrical makeup, hair and styling, however the October Issue of Harpers Bazaar shows a new Bare Faced Lady Gaga with straight hair and not even the slightest hint of makeup.

Natural makeup is not Lady Gaga’s thing, although she states for the magazine that everything she is, without and without makeup and eccentric styling is natural for her as she’s still the same person inside.

Paying Homage to Our Earth Mothers

Still Point Farm Festival Oregon, saw the hosting of an annual event that pays tribute to Indigenous Grandmothers in the second Mother Earth Festival of its kind.
The festival sported a mix of healing, massage, and the sale of organic makeup, natural products and also the sharing of the message regarding global wisdom of the Earth, and the importance of water, peace on Earth and a clean world.
Grandmother Agnes Baker-Pilgrim aged 87 says Grandmothers everywhere “you are the wisdom keepers and we'd like for you wherever you live to know that your children, they honour you because you are the wisdom keepers of the family and in your community. Just because you’re grey headed is no sign your kids can put you back in a rest home or something,” she said.

Natural Makeup looks Out for Autumn

The Nude lip gloss look of this summer is out for autumn as the new fall looks steer towards Strong eyebrows, thick lashes and red lips. Organic makeup is not at all out of the running though, as those dark stormy looks can be achieved just as easily with natural organic makeup as it can be with high street brands. In fact organic makeup brands such as Inika and Nvey eco sport stunning vibrant shades created by natural mineral pigments.
To tame the intense look, Natashia Paul of Wink Eyelash bar suggests that we should use, a metallic shadow as a highlighter dabbing it into the inner corners of the eyes using it sparingly and with a brush. She loves Gunmetal which is also one of Inika’s fab shades! To go party! Glamp it up by brushing metallic shadow across the eyelid the lash line using a dense compact brush.
Fill in eyebrows with a brow liner, but avoid drawing them in. To create a greater effect, use concealer above and below the brow to help them stand out.
Go for those deep dark red shades of organic lipstick. Apply the liner with a brush first and then fill in, use concealer around the edges to stop colour bleeding.
For your lashes go for faux lashes, either individual or strip lashes will do the job and can take up to 10 years off your appearance as they open up your eye and give your face a new focal point.

1 out of 3 women need to switch to Organic Cosmetics

Organic makeup junkies won’t be surprised to hear the results of a new survey showing that 1 in 3 women refuse to leave the house without makeup on, whereas 3 in 10 wouldn’t even pick up the kids from school without a touch of lip gloss!

The majority of pressure to do this comes not from Men but from our own needs and insecurities about looking good in front of other women. Most of these habits are picked up from our own mothers. So if you want to have a positive influence on your own health and your daughters, encourage them to look their best and really care for their skin by using healthy organic cosmetics. At least that way you are causing minimal damage. Make sure you give yourself a makeup break, every week; you don’t need it when you’re at home.

The key is to wear a little makeup and not look overdone, it can be more unflattering than no makeup at all!

Tips may help natural makeup users simplify the morning routine

One expert has offered tips to mothers who want to speed up the time spent in front of the mirror when applying their natural makeup.

According to lilsugar, mums often have to compromise how long they spend getting ready for the day ahead as a result of certain time constraints.

However, speaking to the publication, makeup artist at the New York Paul Labrecque salon Taymour offered mothers time-saving advice for putting on their chosen cosmetic products.

He explained people should make use of powdered foundation, as it is easy to apply, while suggesting eye makeup be kept simple with an all-over colour.

In addition, the specialist stated a good concealer could make a big difference.

"It covers under eye circles when you've been up late, conceals broken veins and can serve as an eye shadow base if necessary," Taymour noted.

Those who would like to take heed of his advice may want to invest in organic products from buyOrganics, which do not contain harmful chemicals such as lead and parabens.

Brides-to-be may offered natural makeup tips

Brides who want to get the most out of their natural makeup on their wedding day may want to take advice from one expert at the Washington Times.

Writer Tim Quinn suggested that certain cosmetic products, such as moisturiser and primer, are essential for any lady heading down the aisle in order to avoid looking "chalky" in pictures or having too much oil seep into other aspects of their makeup.

"The camera picks up more detail than our eyes do, so wearing highlighter all over your face won't make you look angelic - just greasy. Keep it to a soft glow around your eyes," the fashion specialist explained.

He added that the bride could take a photograph of themselves before the ceremony to make sure they look their best on film, making any appropriate adjustments before stepping out of the door.

Website buyOrganics currently offers a wide range of natural makeup, including lipstick, cleansers, face cream, masks, scrubs and toners.

Tips may offer assistance to fans of organic makeup

Advice on how to properly apply mascara could help organic makeup users achieve a perfect look.

According to PM News, one of the main reasons for clumpy and spider-like eyelashes is incorrect application of mascara, something organic makeup users may find a regular issue in their morning routine.

To ensure an even coating and a flawless look, the source advised women to "wiggle the wand [from] left to right at the base of lashes".

Continuing to move the mascara wand around as they draw it up the lashes is also advised to make sure a finish is free from clumps.

To make extra sure that eyelashes will look perfect, women should wipe any excess mascara on a tissue before attempting application.

Sante Natural Volume Mascara from buyOrganics is specially designed to open up lashes and be kind to eyes and, as it comes in both black and brown, is said to be ideal to wear in both the day and night.

Natural makeup may help women stay on trend this autumn

Natural makeup may be set to grow in popularity among Britons who want to ensure they remain stylish in the near future, after one expert revealed a number of key trends for autumn.

Writing for Helium, Anja Emerson noted a natural look is set to become extremely popular over the coming months, with ladies opting for nude colours and sheer shades.

She stated: "Don't be afraid to use light foundation or just a tinted moisturiser to achieve a flawless skin look and to complement it with light makeup."

In addition, Ms Emerson said bright lipstick is in vogue this autumn, as women are after plum, coral or red lips.

The specialist also observed how smoky eye makeup consisting of grey or dark blue shades is expected to rise in demand among fashion-conscious females.

And those eager to invest in some new cosmetic products may like to consider the natural makeup on offer at buyOrganics.

The items available at the retailer are free of harmful chemicals and include blushers, bronzers, foundation, eyeliners, concealers, lipstick and more.

Natural skincare products may help reduce reddening

Natural skincare products could be ideal for people with sensitive skin who are worried about their body reddening, following comments from one expert.

Speaking to Teen Vogue, New York-based dermatologist David Bank explained such skin needs to be looked after with the help of specially-formulated products that will soothe the surface of the body.

This, he stated, is because sensitive skin is often very delicate, with fine pores that react quickly to things like temperature changes.

Those wanting to take good care of their vulnerable complexion may like to invest in natural skincare products available at buyOrganics.

The retailer stocks a wide range of items that do not contain any nano-refined ingredients, petroleum-based oils, fragrances or colours and leave "your skin soft, supple and moisturised … naturally".

In addition, the company's collection of organic makeup may come in handy for those who want to cover up the reddening of the skin frequently experienced.

Neal Schultz, founder of DermTV.com, states individuals wanting to do so should opt for concealers "with a yellow or green tint".

Stay in fashion this autumn with organic makeup

Organic makeup can help to counteract the drab trends that are in fashion this season, it has been suggested.

Claire Coshan, writing for Helium Health and Beauty, advises the popular greys and browns of autumn clothing can be livened up with the addition of more vibrant shades of organic makeup.

Blusher, rather than bronzer, is a key loook for the autumn, but fashionistas must take note that when it comes to colour they must concentrate on either their eyes or lips so not to overdo it on the makeup front.

Ms Coshan suggests opting for emerald greens, purples and golds for eyeshadows and liners, while bright pinks and reds are a great choice for the lips.

However, she recommends exfoliating the lips before applying any colour to ensure they look even.

buyOrganics has an extensive collection of professional performance organic makeup in a wide range of vibrant colours that may be perfect for the autumn months.

Get the Latest Natural Makeup looks for autumn and winter 2010/2011

The latest makeup trends as predicted by Models Direct and Kate Shapland of the Telegraph for Autumn and Winter 2010/2011 indicates that this season is going to be chic but not vampy with deep dark bold lip colour and subtle tones every where else.

Bold lips can still remain natural by using a natural organic lipstick, defining the lip line and filling in with a lip brush to create full luscious lips. Colours can range from blackberry and cassis to taupe!

Natural makeup lovers can create this awesome look by complementing their lips with deep dark hues of brown, orange or caramel tones of natural eyeshadow. For maximum effect sockets should be highlighted with a lighter shade and the eye should be lined with a dark earthy shade to give a smoky look.

Keep the eyes free of mascara by going for a softer more natural shade or completely clear. Cheeks should capture the latest catwalk natural look with a natural shade of bronzer highlighting the top of the cheekbones and iridescent blusher applied low on the cheekbone.

To complete the look brows should be bold, nicely shaped and defined with brow pencil.

Getting the look is easy at buyOrganics which stocks the latest natural makeup range from Inika. Sumptuous and vivid mineral makeup colour, which is both professional and completely pure. 100% Certified Organic makeup or vegan or both, halal and cruelty free to boot!!!!

Get that flawless matt look with Inika’s Mineral Foundation; pick the shade closest to your skin colour. Make sure your brows are shaped and coloured either using Inika Brow baby pencil or using a mineral eyeshadow, I use Coco Motion from Inika’s new range applied with an angle brush.

Apply Purple Haze Inika Mineral Eyeshadow to the top lid with the Inika eyeshadow brush. Keep the brush damp when applying if you’d like a darker look or dry if you’d like a powdery finish. I love platinum eyeshadow on the outer corner of the brow.

For the great green finish, I’d recommend either the new Kingfisher mineral eyeshadow shade or Forest Gold, depending on how dramatic you want to be and what complements your clothes best.
Get that great liquid eyeliner look, with Inika’s black eyeliner, just dampen it first before applying. Finish with lappings of Black mascara; we love the new Inika Volumising Mascara.

For the gentle natural looking lips I recommend Naked Ambition Inika Lipstick and subtle touch of Inika’s Rosy glow to contour the cheeks, or an Inika bronzer that suits your skin tone.

All products are free of bismuth oxychloride, parabens, phthalates and synthetic dyes and available online at www.buyorganics.co.uk. Stocks are selling out fast so some items are on back order, they're going out as fast as they're coming in!!!

Can Makeup be dangerous during pregnancy?

A recent article posted by DANIELLE ROSE in northjersey.com points out the difficulties that pregnant women face in trying to avoid toxins, eat healthy and take care of their developing baby.

A firm follower of using natural products, Danielle often makes up her own blends and potions to ensure that she stays well and healthy. What’s wonderful is that the type of things that she blends herself, are mostly made of products you would use to cook with. That is the true beauty of using natural products. However creating safe makeup is not something that can easily be created from home.

Danielle points out that although most women will switch to organic foods, quit drinking and leave toxic jobs such as painting the nursery to their husband, they often don’t realise that what they put on their skin can be just as important to baby's health. So natural skincare products should be picked carefully. Daily moisturizers, makeup, foundation all sit on the skin for hours.
Danielle points out that the skin is a porous organ and it absorbs lotions and makeup into the body, along with the chemicals they are comprised of, which is the whole basis of nicorette patches and contraception patches.

According to Dr. Alan Greene, author of "Raising Baby Green," many cosmetics and sunscreens contain what are called nanoparticles, particles so tiny that they permeate the skin and body tissues quickly and deeply.

A regular issue of concern that Danielle raises is the difficulty of really knowing what is in the product you are buying, coupled with the fact that the list of ingredients that are safe during pregnancy varies from source to source. In addition, manufacturers are not required to list all the ingredients on the product label and chemicals can get hidden under generic terms such as ‘fragrance’. I recently had a customer who was buying organic shampoo and I pointed out to her that it contained Rosemary (Which is not considered by general aromatherapy circles to be suitable for pregnant women in the first two trimesters) I suggested that she switch to another shampoo which contained gentler ingredients such as lavender, the smell of which is also less likely to turn a pregnant woman’s stomach. Lavender naturally helps ease nausea. Some other natural herbs and essential oils - basil, birch, cinnamon bark, sage and tarragon should not be used during pregnancy.

Also a beauty product listed as "organic," may not always be organic. Many high street brands and less scrupulous brands may only add a few organic ingredients to a concoction of other less favorable ingredients. One of Danielle’s favorite sites and mine too for determining the safety of skin care products is cosmeticsdatabase.com. It rates thousands of cosmetics on a scale of zero to 10 with 10 being a high hazard and zero being low.

Another good resource Danielle uses is Greene's book. In his chapter "The Bathroom," he lists and explains the types of ingredients to be wary of and many safer alternatives to the common cosmetic.

Danielle recommends making your own moisturizer , body scrubs, and facial masks using simple ingredients such as olive, grapeseed, safflower and walnut oils. For instance you can add oil to Epsom salts to create a safe and effective scrub. Blending with Essential oils should be done more carefully, however. Essential oils are concentrated plant matter and should always be purchased pure (not blended with other ingredients) and used diluted in the proper proportion with a base oil (never used directly on the skin).

For many of these reasons sighted by Danielle and other beauty experts in the field I’m really particular that buyOrganics check ingredients, only take on reputable brands and help customers one to one as much as possible make the right choice. We have special herb blended teas by Earth Mama to sooth many pregnancy ailments such as morning sickness, postpartum blues and even a blend to help your milk increase naturally when breastfeeding baby. Coupled with pure natural skincare and makeup products that do not contain nanoparticles, parabens or phthlates, and that we have vetted ourselves for purity, you no longer need to blend away yourself!! And can just purchase and apply with confidence.
