We’re passionate about recycling. (Our cupboards are overflowing with boxes and bottles we “might find a use for” one day.) But we never thought we’d be able to stretch our eco-consciousness so far into our beauty regime.
So when we discovered Couleur Caramel, we were all ears (and eyes and lips). Filling refillable containers and recyclable (and often recycled) packaging with 99.2% naturally derived ingredients, this French makeup line and skincare collection is swiftly becoming the stuff of beauty counter legends.
We put it to the test, trying every shade of eyeshadow ($15.50) under the rainbow. Rich in essential fatty acids and skin-regenerating organic silica, it stayed put into the wee hours. The Terre Caramel Bronzer ($31.50) literally made us glow with its nourishing vegetal and mineral properties. The apricot, wildberry and violet/vanilla-scented lipsticks ($21) instantly nourished, and the lip gloss ($21) was shiny, pouty and non-sticky – a girl’s best friend.
The skincare line is so new, it’s not yet available in stores, but we can order any item we want through Spa Eastman. As we sudsed up with the paraben-free cleansing gel ($40), then rejuvenated with the moisturizing mask ($47), we realized we enjoyed taking off our faces as much as we did putting them on.
And we feel great having one less container to add to that cupboard.
