The Aveda Difference

WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL, YOU ASK?

AVEDA HAS BEEN ON THE FOREFRONT OF ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS SINCE IT'S BEGINNING IN THE LATE 70'S. WHILE THEIR COMPETITORS ARE JUST NOW NOTICING THE EFFECTS OF IRRESPONSIBLE PACKAGING, AND CRUEL ANIMAL TESTING- AVEDA CONTINUES TO ENFORCE THEIR MISSION.

AVEDA FOLLOWS STRICT PACKAGING GUIDELINES. POST CONSUMER RECYCLED, REDUCING THE NEED FOR OVER 300 TONS OF HIGH DENSITY POLYETHYLENE ON AN ANNUAL BASIS.

AND, OF COURSE PRODUCS ARE ALWAYS PEOPLE TESTED.

ALL PIGMENT FOR MAKEUP IS DERIVED FROM PLANT AND FLOWER EXTRACTS. OTHER COMPETITIVE MAKEUP LINES SOURCE PIGMENT FROM CARMINE (A.K.A THE COCHINEAL INSECT, YEAH BABYGIRL- THAT PRETTY RED LIPSTICK YOU LOVE SO MUCH GETS IT'S COLOR FROM CRUSHED BEETLE), PETROLEUM-DERIVED MINERAL OILS CAN ALSO BE FOUND IN OTHER MAKEUP/SKINCARE LINES- CAUSING YOUR SKIN TO GET IRRITATED.

URUKU COLORS ARE CREATED USING MINERAL PIGMENTS AND URUKU PIGMENT GROWN ORGANICALLY BY THE YAWANAWA TRIBE OF BRAZIL, AND THIS PARTNERSHIP SUPPORTS SUSTAINABILITY OF THEIR HERITAGE AND CULTURE.

EVERY YEAR AVEDA SALONS PARTICIPATE IN FUNDRAISERS FOR EARTH MONTH. WE'VE PARTNERED UP WITH THE SURFRIDER FOUNDATION, AN ORGANIZATION THAT LOBBYS FOR CLEAN WATER AROUND THE WORLD.

Can't Get Enough

current obsessions

This look was inspired by the 2006 Aveda Spring Makeup Collection.

I rediscovered this palette of pastel greens and soft pinks while digging through my piles of discontinued makeup.



Bring these colors back! Plum Fresco Cheek Color is versatile and is packed with NATURAL pigment. Use it on eyelids, cheeks, and lips. I use this as often as possible, it looks beautiful any skintone.
