Red Lips for Green


Today more and more cosmetic companies are introducing new and innovative products that cater to a green frame of mind. The high-end cosmetic company, Cargo has joined in on this trend when it recently launched a lipstick line called PlantLove lipstick. Cargo has made everything about this product as environmentally friendly as possible, from the ingredients to the packaging. In addition to being 100% natural, this lipstick also features:
  • A lipstick tube made entirely out of corn fibers
  • An official stamp of approval from EcoCert
  • A $2 donation to St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital with every purchase of a celeb-designed shade.
  • Biodegradable packaging with seeds embedded inside so that if you bury the box in dirt, water it, and show it some love, flowers will bloom.
This line also boasts eleven shades designed by celebrities such as Angie Harmon, Mariska Hargitay and Lindsay Lohan.

Even though one tube costs $20 a pop, I believe that this is a worthy investment because it's a great product for a great cause--making this world a more beautiful place.

Latest Trend in Celebrity Arm Candy: Toddlers with Faux Hawks

Given the recent baby boom in Hollywood, celebrities have started to view their children as extensions of their own personal style.

Case and point Zuma and Kingston Rossdale, the offspring of rocker royalty Gwen and Gavin Rossdale.
Perhaps Jessica Alba was using little Honor Marie to channel her inner rebel when she gave her daughter this edgy new doo.
Parents living vicariously through their children is not a new phenomenon and neither is the faux hawk, but pairing these together sounds like an incredibly novel concept. Johnson and Johnson should get on it and capitalize off the trend by introducing a new line of hair styling products made exclusively for toddlers, but hopefully not by toddlers. Who knows, maybe the three cuties mentioned above can be the spokesmodels for the new product line.
