/24-7PressRelease/ - GOLDEN VALLEY, AZ, July 25, 2007 - When I say "pan" I mean the little tin that holds the actual makeup in it.
I have a few ideas how you can be your beautiful self while keeping our living space, otherwise known as the amazing planet Earth a little less cluttered (unlike my makeup drawer).
1. Select cosmetic companies that use recycled packaging for their products. Examples of recycling efforts on the corporation side could be including a percentage of post consumer plastics, reclaimed paper, wood, and aluminum efforts.
I know you are asking yourself, "How do I know if the company recycles?". If they do, it will be labeled on the product and say something like, 80% post consumer plastic included.
2. Choose companies that offer a "buy once" refillable compact and then mix and match your favorite pans of eyeshadow, blusher, bronzer and pressed powders.
This is how professional makeup artists build their kits of product. Several palettes with refillable colors so we have less weight to carry while having access to many shades at once. Try it!
Instead of having tons of little single plastic lids, bottoms, compacts and half used multi-shade shadow trios where you only use the one shade you like, you will now have one easy to carry and use palette filled with all your favorites.
3. Spend your green backs with a company that offers a "recycling" program. There are several options for returning empty lipstick tubes in trade for a brand new full sized lipstick. You save money and give Earth a break at the same time.
An option to double duty your efforts is to scrape the "bullet" (which is the amount of product used to secure the lipstick in the tube) out of the lipstick tube and press it into an empty eyeshadow or blush pan and use it in your refillable compact to make the favorite shade of lip color go a wee bit further.
Now you have saved more money on the lipstick already purchased while reusing another empty shadow pan, plus giving you another tube to return for a brand new lipstick!
Who knew recycling could be so much fun! For more information on going green, please visit http://www.earth911.org
