Zoya Nail Polish Exchange 2011

The 2011 Zoya Nail Polish Exchange is back for one week only! It started April 20 and ends next Wednesday, April 27, 2011. Similar to last year, you get to choose from their wide array of colors (just select a minimum of 6 nail polishes) and pay $4 for shipping & handling for each bottle. Considering each bottle is $8, it's a good deal! In exchange for this offer, they ask that you send your old polish bottles (anything BUT Zoya of course!) back to their warehouse so they can recycle it. Last year, they wanted you to send in the polishes first in order to receive your new Zoya polishes. However, this year they changed the rules a bit and it is not even a requirement for you to exchange, though they highly encourage it. Hmm.. sounds like it may have been a bit of a hassle for them last year.
Anyway, get your Zoya Exchange on before the deal ends!!

Celebrate Earth Day!

Celebrate Earth Day this Friday, April 22, by being more eco-conscious with everything you do. Take a walk or bike to work, if possible. Save paper by not printing waste. Turn off your lights when you leave the room and don't leave the faucet on when brushing your teeth! Simple, easy things you can do everything to make a difference! If you're in NYC, check out the Earth Day Festival at Grand Central station! There will be lots of great exhibitions and sponsors including Larabar and Wembe Amazonian Soul (incl. their new ecofriendly soap Assai Berry Antioxidant!) :)

Will check it out this weekend and return w/ more pictures!

EcoTools Plant a Kiss Lip Conditioner review

EcoTools officially launched their website this week, www.eco-tools.com, in which they showcase their new products, green beauty tips and demos, and more! I'm excited for their new Alicia Silverstone by EcoTools collection to hit stores and online such as Ulta, Amazon, etc. See my exclusive sneak peek here!

One of their new products is their Plant a Kiss Lip Conditioner made of Shea Butter, Vitamins A, E & F. This is their first lip product and I am really liking this as a base before I apply lipsticks. I love having my lips moisturized when I have to face the morning chills- who wants cracked lips, right? This jumbo-sized conditioner also makes it easier to cover my lips with only two swipes b/c it's much larger than the normal chap-stick or skinny tints. :)

What's next?
Stay tuned for my review on the Alicia Silverstone by EcoTools traincase :)

(Disclaimer: I received this product from this company's PR agency to test, try and share my thoughts with my readers.)

Sneak Peek of EcoTools New Products & Website Launch in April!

Last week I got a sneak peek at the new EcoTools products coming out this year and the highly anticipated launch of the EcoTools website, with new products, social media links & videos! On April 4, 2011, simply go to www.eco-tools.com and see their new site with lots of natural makeup tips, product views as well as videos! Also, follow them at Twitter @EcoTools !

(Check out all my EcoTools reviews here.)

EcoTools, in my opinion, have the most softest & affordable makeup brushes that I have ever tried and I'm psyched about the second collection with Alicia Silverstone that debuts in April. The first collection came out at the end of '09 with a pretty pink floral pattern. All the cosmetic bags, including an overnight bag for brushes and train case, are made of natural hemp, recycled plastic lining and non-toxic inks. The new collection is a pretty lilac floral pattern that has similar items from the first collection but has a few new additions such as the makeup brushes holder & brushes (left) & tri-fold case. Can't wait to get these at my nearest Target stores!

See what else is new at EcoTools for 2011...

In addition to the Alicia Silverstone collection coming out in April, there will be some new bath accessories coming out in June of this year. This includes a Cleansing Pad which is a combination of the loofah and pouf & a MINI ecoPouf! The Mini EcoPouf is literally half the size of the regular pouf but it's great because if fits in my palms. (not shown yet) The Cleansing Pad shown below has the best of both worlds, you no longer have to decide which to use b/c it's a 2-in-1!

One side is the pouf

Other side is the cleansing loofah!

More EcoTools reviews and updates coming soon, including how you can recycle your old brushes to get a NEW EcoTool brush :) Stay tuned!

Easter Sale @ K-mart

Now that Easter is over, there are tons of Easter sales going on. They're just trying to remove their inventory, which is understandable because they don't want these products to take up valuable space in their shelves when they could be selling full-priced items.

Here are a few pictures I took of the enormous quantity of plastic Easter eggs, baskets and other related products! I suggest next time, they don't buy as much. :) Everything is 75% Off so a dozen Easter eggs are about $0.50 to $0.60 and the baskets are $5!!

Note: This post isn't beauty-related, but it is related to being GREEN! (ie. don't buy so much and waste! Or in this case, don't make so much and waste.) April 22 is EARTH DAY! Exciting things are happening.. stay tuned!
