Organic Beauty View

Back in my teenage years, I thought nothing of toting my entire makeup bag with me from place to place. True to my girl scout training, I wanted to be prepared for any possibility that I would need to look perfect (read: confident) at the movies or the mall. Nowadays, that’s not gonna fly. There’s no chance I’m carrying around a full bag of spill- and break-prone makeup that adds weight to my shoulders. Of course, touch-ups are important…which is where the W3LL PEOPLE line comes in. This collection of super-durable, multi-purpose natural makeup is made for travel. I’m currently toting Universalist 5, a pigment-packed fuchsia color stick (offered in several vibrant tones), which doubles as my blush and lipcolor. Universalist 2, with its touch of sparkle, is my evening highlighter for cheek and browbones. The formula is creamy, with ample staying power- courtesy of olive, passionfruit, castor, grapeseed and coconut oils, plus beeswax. As you guessed, it fits perfectly in a clutch. I’ve yet to try the Narcissist and Naturalist foundations, but I have a feeling that they’ll impress as well. Their ingredients include the signature W3LL PEOPLE blend of green tea, reishi mushroom and pomegranate extracts. And, as the teenage me would adore, there’s no chance of finding a shattered powder compact at the bottom of my bag. Writer :: Jolene Hart
