The clean beauty market has exploded with options at Ulta Beauty in 2020! I've put together a list of the clean brands carried at Ulta Beauty that are Cruelty-Free, most are vegan-friendly, and their products are made with ingredients that don't leave me questioning where they come from or where they are sourced. Let's take a look!

The struggle to find a foundation to match your skin tone is difficult to say the least. But imagine having pale snowflake skin, and trying to find a pale enough shade that most brands---let alone green beauty brands---don't even make! Well I have compiled a list of foundations I have tried that are perfect for fair and porcelain skin tones! Every one of these foundations contains clean ingredients, are Cruelty-Free, and I will make note of which options are Vegan! Let's get started!

Jane Iredale has released two 6 pan eyeshadow palettes designed for the makeup artist in mind. The Artists' Eyes Eye Shadow Palette and Artist's Eyes II Eye Shadow Palette  retail for $96 and are available to purchase through  Dermstore . Both palettes are Cruelty-Free, Vegan, and formulated without any questionable ingredients. Let's take a peek!

A good mechanical brow pencil is hard to find, but the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz is a cult favorite---and for good reason. It mimics the look of real brow hairs and has an extensive shade selection for every hair color and skin tone. BUT, the ingredients are less than stellar. One brand that has released a non-toxic mechanical brow pencil is Honest Beauty, and I'd say it's worth the swap! Let's get started!

Green Beauty Fails I covered my favorites for the month of June, now let's talk about some products that were complete fails for me. Many of these products were not necessarily bad quality, they just didn't work for me and my skin type. Let's get in to my Green Beauty Fails!

Jane Iredale Jelly Jar Gel Eyeliner One of my first purchases from the Citrine Natural Beauty Bar was the Jane Iredale Jelly Gel Eyeliner . This retails for $28 (0.1 oz) and is available in-store and online at the Citrine Natural Beauty Bar , Nordstrom , and the Jane Iredale Website . There are many high end and drugstore gel eyeliners on the market, and $28 to me is on the pricier side, so is it worth it? Let's get in to the review!

I hope everyone had a safe and happy Holiday! My family spoiled me this year and I received several new green and organic beauty products, I may or may not have picked them out. I can't wait to try these out and let you know how these perform! Let's get in to "What I Got For Christmas", beauty edition.

Jane Iredale Lip Pencil Natural lip liners can be hard to come by, and too often the shade range isn't extensive. However, the Jane Iredale Lip Pencils offer a large selection of creamy, pigmented, and colorful lip liners! These retail for $13 ( oz) and are available in-store at select Salons, the Nordstrom Website , Citrine Natural Beauty Bar , and the Jane Iredale Website . If I end up liking the formula, I may just order a few more colors! Let's get in to the review!
