Not a day goes by that I don’t marvel at how easy it has become to embrace the whole natural beauty thing without sacrificing performance. Sulfate-free shampoo? Check. Chemical-free sunscreen? Check. Synthetic-free skincare? Check. All-natural makeup? Not so much. In fact, most of the earth-friendly makeup I’ve tried is as goopy and stay-put as Maybelline Great Lash Mascara. There is one product, however, that makes me believe there’s hope yet for natural cosmetics: ILIA lipstick. I mean it in the best possible way when I say that you’d never guess this line was natural — 85 percent certified organic to be exact. The heavy matte silver tubes scream refined luxury and the color offerings are so flattering and on-trend. I’ve been wearing In My Room, a pretty, peachy neutral that goes with everything and brightens up my face, and Nobody’s Baby, the perfect nude that’s refreshingly sheer. If you’re more of a pink girl, go for Arabian Nights, a bright berry stain that I swipe on whenever I’m feeling blah.
I love great lash! haha. The waterproof kind is the only mascera that stays put when I want it to and comes off when I want it to. I usually use it as a base coat and then put other stuff on top of it if I want extra big lashes.

Hello lovelies! I'm Elizabeth Dehn, a beauty writer + lifestyle editor who's equally fanatical about lip gloss as juice cleansing. I live in Minneapolis with Mr. Bets and our white lab, Molly Thomas . . . MORE
