SIGN-UP FOR DAILY TIPS

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

A 2002 Glamour magazine study showed that women consume more than four pounds of lipstick over a lifetime.

Pretty Prehistoric

The Bite

One downside to Paleolithic style? Well, there wasn't any. But now you can pretty up by getting Primitive - an all-natural line of lipsticks created with ingredients like shea butter and vitamin E, and free of parabens, lead, and other synthetic chems. Each of the eight different shades tastes like real vanilla and can withstand kissing (whether cheeks, lips, or other locales). We picked up the terracotta-hued Morocco for nights out, and Taj Mahal gold shimmer for days. The lipsticks are made nearby in Woodstock, NY, so there's less CO2 created during transport. Prehistoric never looked this good.

Wanna Try

Primitive Makeup, available online or at Whole Body at Whole Foods Market, 260 Seventh Ave. at 25th St. and other Whole Foods Markets in Manhattan (845-679-2264). Taj Mahal lipstick, $16.
