The Bite:

Say "I Do" to greener styling tools. Getting hitched to eco-friendlier beauty instruments is a piece of three-tiered cake with our list of planet-positive beauty tools.

The Benefits:

Unveiling your prettiness. These tools work as well as or better than conventional ones we've used in the past.
Eloping to a less wasteful world. Buying high-quality beauty tools that last a lifetime means less waste in the end.
Vowing to support eco-materials. Incorporating sustainable supplies such as recycled aluminum and packaging, these aesthetic assistants help you give good face while leaving less of a trace on the earth.

Personally Speaking:

The Silence HP Graphite hairdryer has changed Jenifer's life, giving her a little more peace in her noisy, downtown SF apartment. The only bummer is that it's too quiet to drown out her neighbor's early-morning smoker's hack.

Wanna Try:

Silence HP Graphite - superquiet hairdryer that uses about 2/3 the power of conventional versions, is made in USA, and includes a lifetime warranty ($139).
Paris Presents EcoTools - five-makeup brush set with bamboo handles and nonanimal bristles that don't shed like some of their more expensive, noneco counterparts ($11).
Boscia Rose Blotting Linens - leaf fiber removes sweat and oil from shiny faces (without messing your makeup) and blots lipstick, and 10% of your sale supports breast cancer research ($10).
Tweezerman Go Green Tweezer - well-aligned, travel-size tweezers that come in recycled packaging; $1 of your purchase goes to planting trees ($10).
95 and Sunny Nail Files - these colored crystal glass nail files last forever, so you don't have to keep buying emery boards ($5-$10).

Cocktail Fact

Oh, really? Warning on a Conair Pro Style 1600 hair dryer: Never use while sleeping.

Bang For The Bite

If 10,000 Biters opt for the Go Green Tweezers instead of regular ones, Tweezerman will plant almost half the number of trees that are in NY's Central Park.
