I Feel Pretty

The Bite:
imageOh, so pretty…or at least you will if you highlight a feature or two with model Josie Maran’s LA-made makeup. From basics like tinted moisturizer to multiuse palates that you can use lids-to-lips, Josie’s goods are made with organic ingredients rather than petrochems or parabens. A few found permanent placement in our makeup bag: Charcoal eye liner (with wood from sustainable forests), and Blush lip liner, which we blend with punchy-pink Devious lipstick and shine over with the peachy, coconut-flavored Confection gloss. The packaging’s pretty too – and you can recycle or compost all of it; even the plastic’s made from PLA, a biodegradable, corn-based resin that takes less fossil fuel to produce than conventional plastics. Witty.
Wanna Try: 
Josie Maran Cosmetics, available at Vert, 1121 Abbot Kinney Blvd., Venice (310-581-6126). Tinted moisturizer, $38/1.7 ounces.

Cocktail Fact

Lippy is a common British colloquialism for lipstick.

Small Changes Add Up

If 10,000 LA Biters use five paraben-free lipsticks instead of regular lipsticks each year, we'll keep over 10 pounds of cancer-linked chems off of our bods.
