The Organic Freedom to Choose

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 …

I was in the shower and when I went to grab my new “organic” shower gel I discovered that what I thought was organic was actually missing the United States Department of Agriculture National Organic Program seal. Talk about an uncertified letdown!

Naturally inspired, yet EFFECTIVE cosmetics are really as hard to find as the Pink Panther diamond. Trust me, I know — having ransacked countless drugstore and high-end department stores in the hope of finding concealers and foundations made with mostly natural ingredients and ending up leaving as disappointed as a kid who didn’t see Mickey Mouse at Disney World.
There is a ton of BODYCARE that is organic and natural and most of those products are very effective, but we’re talking about the foundation of your beauty: the foundations, brushes, concealers, …

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.
