What is the best way to stand out at a Christmas party this year? We think it’s rocking a bit of glitter! We know what you’re going to say ”…but most commercial cosmetic glitters are dangerous to the environment!” Fear not, here at The Amazing Blog we’ve discovered an environmentally-friendly and biodegradable premium grade cosmetic glitter, that can add some serious sparkle to your day – step forward EcoStardust.
Launched in 2017, a Blue Patch New Business Award-winning EcoStardust is an eco-conscious company that makes its glitter from plant cellulose, derived predominantly from non-GMO sustainably farmed Eucalyptus Trees. It aims to promote ‘joy and happiness through vibrant and high-quality products whilst raising awareness of environmental issues’. All their products are vegan and cruelty-free; 10% of net profits go to charities and environmental bodies, and every piece of packaging is made out of recyclable materials.
They very kindly sent us their EcoStardust Unicorn Edition Biodegradable Trio Glitter Balm & Brush Set which includes: 3 x 6g biodegradable glitters, one bamboo glitter brush and one bio-glitter 10g beauty balm. The three various shades of glitter (silver and a hint of purple, pink and blue, and extra shimmer pink and blue) can be used individually or mixed to create your unique shade, enhancing a look or matching an outfit. We think the more the better! So, our favorite recipe is mixing all three shades and highlighting our best features. Apply a small amount of a plant-based shimmery balm either with the bamboo glitter brush or your fingers. This can be anywhere on your body, face, hair or nails. Then sprinkle some glitter on it and you’re good to go. NB: We would stress caution when applying on the face, you need to avoid using the product around your eye area due to the fine particles which could fall into the eye. It easy to remove and washes with warm water and soap, or by using regular makeup remover. If you have any allergies, the checklist for this glitter does not contain any common food allergens, such as eggs, sesame seeds, sulphur dioxide or nuts.
