Holiday Gift Guide for the Seasoned Green Beauty

It’s always fun chatting away on social media with my fellow green beauty bloggers. Sometimes what seems like ordinary Twitter chatter can spark great ideas. Thanks to Kat of Wild Honey Apothecary for the little push, Ru (Short, Small Sweet), Yeiza (Boho Chic Meets Organic), and I decided to team up to bring you a collaborative Holiday Gift Guide. You can head over to Ru’s blog for gift ideas for Green Beauty Newbies or Yeiza’s blog for gift ideas for Stocking Stuffers.

Below is my part of the guide, gift ideas for the Seasoned Green Beauty. (Don’t forget to check out my Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals list too, you can save on a lot of the products below with some promos that are still going on!)

Do you have a list of green beauty blogs and websites you read daily? Do you find yourself constantly browsing Instagram and the internet for new and undiscovered green beauty products? Are you a pro when it comes to understanding product ingredient lists? Do you get heart palpitations when you hear news of the latest green beauty releases? Sister, you’re the real deal. Here’s my holiday gift guide for the “Seasoned Green Beauty”:

Alima Pure Velvet Lipstick, $26: This lipstick collection is the newest release from mineral makeup cult-favorite, Alima Pure. As the first lip products to be released from the brand, the Velvet Lipsticks are a must-have product this holiday season for those in-the-know. The highly-pigmented, smooth formulas come in 6 beautiful colors and the slick refillable, recyclable aluminum tubes are enough to make any green beauty swoon. Plus, extra lipstick refill cartridges will be available for purchase from Alima Pure soon, so you’ll never run out of lipstick again nor will you fill up a landfill with lippy waste!

Antonym Cosmetics Travel Brush Set, $85:  Feel like a makeup pro with this luxe, professional-quality, certified vegan makeup brush set from Antonym Cosmetics. This set features 7 essential makeup brushes with Taklon bristles and sustainable bamboo handles, neatly packaged in a faux leather pouch. One side of the pouch organizes makeup brushes while a separate, zippered compartment leaves space for your makeup. This set has everything you need for beauty on-the-go, or anywhere you are. A seasoned green beauty junkie can never have too many brushes and this brush set is as beautiful to use as it is handy.

By Rosie Jane Tropical Holiday Candle & Glass Set, $44: This set features 2 beautiful candles housed in reusable glass and regally adorned with gold pineapples. The candles are made from sustainable, slow-burning soy wax with claims to burn up to 40-hours. Nothing says elegance to the seasoned green beauty than something like gorgeous, sustainable candles in packaging that can be repurposed afterwards as pretty drinking glasses. These candles will fill the room with an intoxicating scent of Tilly, mixed with tropical notes of grapefruit, coconut, and gardenia. Pineapples are a symbol representing hospitality, luck, and friendship.
