I’m always on the lookout for new beauty products, so I was excited to hear about Mode Cosmetics. Co-creators Cristina Samuels and Jennifer Isaac pride themselves on producing high quality products that are natural, effective, and affordable, so obviously I enthusiastically checked out their website myself.
Created with natural botanicals and essential oils, the key ingredient list for their cosmetics reads like a shopping list for the farmer’s market: Peppermint, orange, and avocado oils, strawberry, watermelon and wildberry flavors, vanilla beans…I could go on and on.
From long wearing lip liners and super smooth eye pencils, to lip balms, glosses and lip shines loaded with good-for-you ingredients like shea butter and sweet almond oil, Mode Cosmetics certainly has left me wanting to try many of their products, and the pricing is so great, a girl like me could really go nuts. Did I mention the free shipping over $50 offer?
It might take me some time to choose from the 90 shades of chip resistant nail polish, but based on my original perusal of colors, if you are looking for that special shade, I’m sure they have it!
It’s difficult to decide what I’d like to try first, but the full coverage lipsticks (in 36 shades) especially tempt me. The product description page reads, “super high pigment, long lasting lipstick that hugs lips with luxurious rich color in buttery creams and natural pearl frosts.” Of course I want to try that. Seriously, who wouldn’t want their lips to be enveloped in the silky smooth texture of organic shea butter, nourishing oils, beeswax, and Vitamin E?
With an emphasis on simplicity, a commitment to using non-wasteful packaging, and the healthy benefits and the fresh aromas you expect from natural products, Mode Cosmetics generously puts the glamour in green!
Do my lips get drier when the weather gets warmer? Or maybe that is just my excuse to get another lip balm. OK, maybe I already have a few (hundred) laying around, but I just can’t resist! My fave of the moment is Einstein Lip Therapy. It gives you intense moisture without that waxy, greasy feel. It’s jam packed with cocoa butter and vitamins A and E to heal those chaps and keep them away for good. No one wants to kiss you with dry lips. No one. This healthy balm is infused with vanilla and a hint of mint, sure to leave you kissable in no time, and the shine is delish!

About this video: Natural personal care products are hardly a fleeting trend. According to a new survey sponsored by Burt’s Bees and conducted by TSC, a division of Yankelovich, more consumers are aware of the natural ingredients that go into personal care products than they were five years ago. A large percent of those surveyed, actually 60%, also thought the government or industry regulates natural personal care products—and almost 100 percent thought they should.
With the growing awareness of potentially harmful ingredients in personal care products, more are turning to natural products. Natural personal care company Burt’s Bees says they have the responsibility to help consumers fully understand what “natural” products are—and what they aren’t—for the good of their well-being and for the good of the environment. To do so, Burt’s Bees wants to set a natural standard—encouraging other companies to join—and together adopt one “natural” standard.
