Snoop Inside 5 Eco Experts' Beauty Stashes

Find out what products these natural beauty gurus keep inside their medicine cabinets and makeup bags

April 27, 2012 | by Dawn Davis | 20 COMMENTS

Her makeup bag Tata Harper sent us a photo of her makeup bag -- a 100 percent organic cotton pouch by fellow green beauty expert Christy Coleman. Of course, Harper keeps a few must-haves from her own line on hand (the Tata Harper Aromatic Stress Treatment, $80, and Tata Harper Improved Floral Essence, $65, an amazing hydrating mist), but we were surprised by how many other cool, independent brands she loves.

Her go-to makeup products are Revolution Organics Freedom Lip Gloss, Ilia Beauty Tinted Lip Conditioner, Kjaer Weis Cream Blush Compact, RMS Beauty Living Luminizer, Vapour Organic Beauty Mesmerize Eye Color and Nvey Eco Moisturizing Mascara. Her fragrance of choice is Tsi~La Organics Ilang Ilang Eau de Parfum. And she always carries a bottle of Intelligent Nutrients Certified Organic Hand Sanitizer -- a necessity when traveling around New York City. Even Harper's hair products are green -- she uses a sustainable Widu Wooden Bristle Pneumatic Oval Brush and Lulu Organics Jasmine Hair Powder. Her favorite place to buy eco beauty essentials is spiritbeautylounge.com, where most of these products can be found.

I agree with EricaF123! the prices on these things are ridiculous, i wish "eco/green" products werent so expensive. I wonder if they actually use their stuff or if they just stuffed some in to their bags to plus themselves

We need a raise so we can have all these products

It looks like Harper and Kramer were the only ones that shared their real make-up bags. The others just looked like an advertisement for their products.

the prices are way too high...

This sounds like a lot of makeup formulators advertising their own products.

I can only give this article 4 stars simply because the product prices are outrageous. I'm all for going natural but also, it needs to be affordable.

Great article! Love to see the natural products out there.

Josie Maran using almost only her own products is sooooooo lame

by selma Tuesday, May 1, 2012 at 01:43AM Report as inappropriate

To be quite honest, I expected to see Maureen Kelly on this list, but I understand! Josie Maran still looks stunning.

Fun article. It is neat to see what other beauty products women turn to.

Interesting to have a sneak peep into their makeup bags and their medicine cabinet!

would love to try the Aromatic stress treatment andthe floral essence- but at $80 and $65 thats a bit high if I do not care for the products. I love the fact that they are a natural!!

by brendalea Monday, April 30, 2012 at 03:44PM Report as inappropriate

I would just love to know what she grows in her garden that she uses in her products! And I am always up for trying new products but, no one is willing to send samples anymore, I don;t want to buy a product and not like.

I wish the article told you where to find these awesome brands!

what planet have i been on? Josie is the only one of these eco sperts i have used! good update...

by alictasia Monday, April 30, 2012 at 01:18PM Report as inappropriate

these women all seem very down to earth and i like the ideas behind their companies. i with this stuff was easier to find and cheaper to buy. it's so much easier to get whatever is at the drugstore or beauty store than going out and finding these products (especially since these are mostly underground brands and not very widely known!).

This is my favorite article yet! This topic is very intriguing for me, and I love natural products, so it's exciting to learn what these gurus use. Also, I didn't even know that Yogi has a green tea for muscle recovery! I just used up my stock of their chai tea, but I need to get the green because I worked out so hard recently, my muscles are on fire. I enjoy the little sayings on the tea bags also, it's a nice touch. I can't wait to explore the website mentioned and the various lines mentioned in this article.
