THE NEW CLEAN MAKEUP I’M WEARING IN THIS LOOK; AND MY RUFFLE BLOUSE!

Environmetal Working Group’s EWG Verified Seal

According to National Institutes of Health, 64-100 percent of what we put on our skin is absorbed into the bloodstream. That’s why I am constantly searching for skin care and cosmetics that are the most hypoallergenic and least toxic that I can find.

The products featured in this post are not only considered clean and health-conscious, but most of them also carry the Environmetal Working Group’s Best/Safest #1 or #2 rating on their Hazard/Data Availability Scale–or, even better, they have the EWG Verified Seal. This mark on a personal-care, cosmetic, or cleaning product indicates that it meets the EWG’s strictest standards for transparency and health. The foundation, mascara, and lip and cheek products I’m wearing here all have this coveted seal.

By the way, I used the same foundation, eyeshadow palette (but different eyeshadow colors), colorless setting powder, mascara/primer, and lipgloss in my last Blog Post, too.

If you are interested in seeing a step-by-step video that shows me going from bare skin to the completed look you see here, that post and video will be coming out in the next week or so.

This Top Is So Pretty and Feminine

The ruffle-neck top I’m wearing in this post is from J.McLaughlin, and is made of a seasonless material that is wonderful for travel. It has three-quarter length sleeves that make it perfect for year-round wear, but it also is available in a sleeveless style, if that’s what you prefer. Every season it comes in classic colors like black and white, and also in new colors and prints as well. (See me discussing/modeling this ruffle top in my J.McLaughlin Haul/Try-on Blog Post/YouTube Video.)

I am drawn to wearing ruffle tops, because they’re so feminine, but this one also is as comfortable as a t-shirt, so I have collected quite a few of them over the years. In fall and winter, they’re perfect for softening the look of wool blazers and thick, scratchy cardigans. Scroll down the page to see me wearing this white one in a summer outfit.

I hope you enjoy this blog post (and the video at the bottom). If you have any questions, feel free to leave them in the comments section.

Thank you for taking the time out of your day to visit me here and read my post.

All the best to you.

My earrings and necklace were given to me by my husband about 15 years ago. Similar necklace at Bloomingdale’s.

(ABOVE) I’m wearing Mineral Fusion Pressed Powder Foundation, Warm 3 (at Amazon, Target). I applied it all over my face and down onto my neck with the Sigma F82 Round Kabuki Brush (at Neiman Marcus). Then I applied additional foundation to conceal red or brown spots with a Sigma Precision Brush (at Neiman Marcus, QVC, Amazon).

(ABOVE & BELOW) On my eyelids I’m wearing two colors from the Honest Beauty Get It Together Eyeshadow Palette (at Ulta, Amazon, Target). I applied the top left medium-brown color all over my lid and into and above my crease with the Sigma E40 Tapered Blending Brush (at Amazon). Then I swept the same medium-brown color under my lower lashes with the Sigma E21 Smudge Brush (at Neiman Marcus).  Lastly, I applied the bottom left dark-brown color to the outer corners of my eyelids with the Sigma E32 Exact Blend Eye Brush (at Neiman Marcus).

(ABOVE & BELOW) Here, I’m showing my jar of RMS Beauty Un-Powder Powder, which I use to set eyeshadow and eye liner on my eyelid and crease, and under my eyelashes (at Nordstrom, Amazon). To apply it, I use the Sigma E40 Tapered Blending Brush (at Amazon). Although this powder is white, it goes on colorless (when used sparingly–do not use too much!).

(ABOVE & BELOW) Honest Beauty Extreme Length Mascara + Lash Primer in One, black (at Ulta, Amazon, Target)–with primer on one end and mascara on the other end. This mascara is amazing!  I combed it out with this cute pink eyelash comb.

(ABOVE & BELOW) Lawless Forget The Filler Lip Plumper Line-Smoothing Gloss in Rosy Outlook (at Sephora). Cruelty free and vegan, this gloss is rated “Clean at Sephora” (brands formulated without phthalates, formaldehyde or formaldehyde releasers, oxybenzone and octinoxate, and more). Also shown: Kendra Scott 14k Gold Pave Diamond Band Ring.

UPDATE: I purchased Lawless Forget the Filler Lipgloss because it has the Clean at Sephora Seal. According to Sephora, the Clean Seal ensures this brand’s products are formulated without certain ingredients that are potentially harmful to human health and the environment and also address ingredients clients are concerned about, including phthalates, formaldehyde or formaldehyde releasers, oxybenzone and octinoxate, hydroquinone, triclosan, coal tar, methylisothiazolinone and methylchloroisothiazolinone, insoluble plastic microbeads, and more.

In putting together this blog post and video, I discovered that Environmental Working Group (EWG) gives Lawless Forget the Filler Lipgloss a #5 out of 10 (moderate) rating on their hazard/data-availability scale. This is due to possible allergy, immunotoxicity, and use restriction concerns.

I will continue to use it for now, since I like the finish and moisturizing it provides, but I also am looking for a better EWG-rated gloss. 🙂

(ABOVE) On my arm: Lawless Forget The Filler Lip Plumper Line-Smoothing Gloss in Rosy Outlook (sheer baby pink).

(ABOVE) To set my makeup, I lightly spritz purified water onto my face with this 4 Ounce Glass Spray Bottle. Then, I apply an organic butter or purified petroleum jelly to my cheekbones to lock in the moisture and set my makeup (see below).

(ABOVE) Vaseline Triple Purified, 100% Pure Petroleum Jelly, which I gently (and sparingly) tap onto the tops of my cheekbones and eye-area smile lines–over the powder foundation (at Amazon, Target). Be careful to check the jar to make sure it is this version only (see photograph below). This is the only version from Vaseline brand that is 100% pure and purified, with no other ingredients.

NOTE: This purified petroleum jelly is rated #1 on EWG Hazard/Data Availability Scale–the same as organic shea butter. I now rotate petroleum jelly with organic shea butter, so that I don’t become allergic to either one (in particular shea butter), as I have to some other organic butters and oils.

(ABOVE) Here, I use my Handheld Mini Fan, for drying the purified water I’d spritzed onto my face to set my makeup. A variety of colors are available (at Amazon).

(ABOVE) I use Microfiber Cloths to clean off my makeup brushes during makeup application (I don’t use these on my skin—only on brushes.) Eventually I wash the brushes with soap and water. Also, I always wash new microfiber cloths before using them. (Similar at Amazon).
