Clean Beauty Brands
WHAT IS CLEAN BEAUTY?
The term ‘clean beauty’ (sometimes used interchangeably with organic, non-toxic, green or natural) has no set definition, yet it seems to refer to so many different things all at once: sustainable, cruelty-free, recycled, naturally sourced, and more. Clean Beauty is a routine that allows you to care for your beauty as safely as possible, without also impacting the beauty of the planet. Here at Blinging Beauty, we categorize "clean beauty brands" as ones that omit the ingredients that are known to be carcinogens and are toxic to our bodies.

Simple Chic: Joy Bryant at 2011 CFDA
Joy Bryant's sense of style is hallmarked by unfettered elegance. I love that she embodies a "less-is-more" sleekness, not only with her fashion choices, but with her beauty persona as well. Always "fresh-faced" with clean makeup and simple-bit-chic hairstyles, Joy…

Win it: 2 Self Tanners & Papaya Body Scrub

Get the Look: Thandie Newton—Barely There Makeup
Thandie Newton is a classic beauty. When in full-on glam makeup she is breathtakingly beautiful. But I’m equally as amazed at her natural beauty when wearing minimal makeup. Or, she can add bold lip to her otherwise bare face and…

Top 5: Hand Creams for Cold Weather

What I’m Loving Now: Jose Maran Argan Eye Love You Too Palette
I don’t wear eyeshadow daily. I don’t know, call me lazy. Or it could be that I have these hooded eyelids that makes applying shadow a masterclass in creating a crease every time I wear it. Then I have ultra…
