Get Affordable Green in Your Make-Up Case

Sometimes it ain't easy being green, particularly when green items are sometimes marked up from regular priced items just because they're labeled "green." But switching over to more eco-friendly products doesn't have to be a choice between extra chemicals or extra cash.

This week, we take a look at some great green make-up steals that make you both look good and feel good for going green.

1. Burt's Bees: Made with all natural ingredients like sweet almond extract flavored with citrus oils and a nicely colored lip balm will run you about a sweet six bucks. If you shop Burt's on the web they also often reward shoppers with a free gift for a minimum spend.

2. The Body Shop: has now been around for almost 40 years, making it the great godmother of green body products. To help celebrate, shop The Body Shop's 70% off clearance sale.

3. Futurenatural: is a newer kid on the block, and currently online only, but they are committed to all natural with "no sacrifice in quality or aesthetic." They also allow customers to sample any product before they buy.

4. Physician's Formula Organic Wear: is a recently launched natural line from Physician's Formula. The great thing about this brand is you can shop it in your local pharmacy and save with drugstore coupons.

5. Kaia House: is another online retailer with a great selection of all green cosmetics. They are also currently running a great back to school sale offering up to 25% off their products.

6. Greenmua: To help in your perfect green make-up search, this website created a great resource list to encourage professional make-up artists to go green. Enjoy!
