Beauty Stat - For the beauty obsessed who demand the facts not fiction.

This year we saw so many new nail polish trends that included Nail Bling, Minx and Cracked Nail Polish.  But another trend that seems to be growing is the launch of nail polishes that are organic, eco-friendly, non-toxic and safer, gentler to nails.

The basic ingredients that go into a nail polish are film forming agents, resins, plasticizers, solvents and coloring agents.

The Organic Freedom to Choose

July 4, 1776. It was the day our gorgeous land became the United States of America. Fast-forward 234 years and still we celebrate our freedom. We gather with friends and family, grab a tasty bevy, and celebrate life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness in all things pretty.
This year, I can’t help but stand proud to have the freedom of choice. Off the top of my head, I love that I have the freedom to choose what to wear, what healthy treats …

If at first you had told me an organic makeup line could produce believable, long-lasting color I would have scoffed at you like Miranda Priestly.
There’s plenty of evidence out in the market that shows that while organic makeup may certainly be as popular as Santa Claus, the concept of a line that really and truly works is just that — a myth.

Vapour Organic Beauty is trying to shatter this evasive myth. The recently debuted organic makeup line offers everything from lipsticks, gloss, eyeshadow, foundation, shimmer sticks and lip conditioner.
