Winner Announced: Gianna
When it comes to me and makeup, less is more. I’m an au naturale kind of girl. As long as my face stays fairly clear, I’m happy with just a cute lipgloss. I have been wanting to make my eyes pop, but Greg is convinced that I am fine without makeup. And that’s totally fine.
Bare Escentuals has created a micro-site that has women all over the world rethinking beauty. Over at RethinkWhatMatters.com, it’s more about talking and less about makeup. The Rethink What Matters campaign encourages women to take part in weekly discussions that can be shared with friends and submitted for a chance to win free bareMinerals products (500 winners each week) or a trip of a lifetime to Paris, Costa Rica, Turks, Italy, Asia, or Caicos! New topics and products will be featured each Friday up until March 26, 2010. So be sure to check the micro-site weekly!
The topic for this Friday is “Rethink Your Environment”. I will answer the first question. It’s a more extended version of my quiz answer. We use chemical-free cleaning products and we are slowly trying to swap beauty products with greener alternatives. That’s always tough. I cloth diaper and wipe not as much as I’d like. Greg prefers disposables, so we use chlorine free diapers, however they aren’t biodegradable. We have a ton of reusable shopping bags, but we forget them in the car frequently. We don’t do a lot of driving. We utilize our recycle bin, but sometimes we slip up, like when I threw hundreds of business cards in the trash. We gotta work on it!
Bare Escentuals has offered me a complimentary sample of the bareMinerals Flawless Definition Mascara, which I will be reviewing once it arrives. They’d also like to offer a mascara to one of you! For a chance to win a bareMinerals Flawless Definition Mascara of your own, leave a comment telling me how you Rethink Your Environment. For an additional entry, subscribe to my feed (don’t forget to click the verification link emailed to you) and leave a separate comment letting me know you’ve done so.
Comments will close on February 6th, 2010 at 7PM CST. A winner from the U.S. will then be randomly selected.
I read and value each and every comment and I visit those who comment... even if I don't comment back. I'm working on it, I swear! Stuff you should know *ehehm*: So... sometimes companies send me items of interest in exchange for a feature on my blog. Some also compensate me for my time and efforts creating content to promote them. Yay! I always disclose if I have a relationship with a company. If I don't disclose a relationship with a company and I link to them, then the link is most likely an affiliate link. I use a plugin that automatically does this for me. Cool huh? Just want to make sure you are aware :). Read my full disclosure policy

I rethink my environment by recycling cans and bottles.
I just try to keep things clean and reuse what I can. I have a cabinet full of old nestea bottles that I use to store pasta, beans and grains in. It also keeps things bug free!
I pass on all of my beauty mags to my friends, rather than just recycle them.
And I cringe every time I see a photo in a beauty mag showing a broken lipstick or smear of product and think…”What a waste!”
i notice now when companies use excess packaaging for their products.
Less is more when it comes to makeup.
I rethink my environment by recycling everything that my city accepts and reducing what I purchase.
