What’s in my non-toxic makeup bag—
Over the last 10+ year of using non-toxic makeup Ive experienced the good, the bad and the flat out ugly. If you’re anything like me, you’re a low maintenance gal who loves a good pay off. something you can apply in 10 min or less that gives you that “you but better” look and something that is so user friendly that can elevate you to a “night glam” look need be.
These are some of my tried & true MUST HAVE makeup products that I use on the daily.
(all of these products can be found on the think dirty app rated for non-toxic)!
ilia | SUPER SERUM SKIN TINT SPF 40
A clean, light-coverage, tinted mineral SPF 40 serum that boosts skincare benefits.
Perfect for evening your skin tone and giving you that “natural” glowy look. If you’re anything like me, you avoided face makeup for years because you DESPISED the feeling of it on your skin and made you feel claustrophobic… ilia products completely changed the game for me. My skin looks gorgeous while not compromising being able to “breathe”.

ilia | SOFT FOCUS TRANSLUSCENT FINISHING POWDER
This is the perfect product to top off the products above. This finishing powder locks in your look and makes the makeup “transfer proof”. If you dislike the feeling of dewy face makeup to the touch, this product is a MUST.
Made with a blend of organic powders and oils, talc-free(!!) formula that hydrates and softens skin, while taking down shine thanks to a skin-texture, translucent finish. Light as air and milled 5 times (most powders are milled 3), it’s undetectable to the eye and gives a blurred, soft focus finish.

THIS IS MY ALL AROUND HOLY GRAIL MASCARA. Non-toxic or not, this is the BEST mascara… and I take pride in that. Mascara is by far my favorite makeup product, the one i’d pick if I could only choose one & was deserted on an island if you will….THIS IS IT.

ilia | BALMY GLOSS
THE BEST gloss.
It’s a cushiony, tinted lip oil packed with plumping Hyaluronic Acid and major moisturizing properties that leaves lips soft, smooth and anything but sticky.
My favorite shade is ‘Maybe Violet’ but you honestly can't go wrong with any shade.

truescience | SOOTHING BALM
LOVE this product. I have it in my purse, makeup bag and medicine cabinet. Basically on my body at all times. It is such a diverse product; lip balm/overnight mask, slip for a little gua-sha self love, dry spots, skin irritations, cracked elbows + heels, fly-aways, taming eye brows, even on the temples for relaxation…. it does it ALL.
The secret is a mix of concentrated, lipid-rich emollients from a blend of 4 nourishing seed oils, beeswax, and shea and mango butters. You also get a boost from broad-spectrum CBD†-enhanced Nrf2 ingredients to fight against oxidative stress. The result is a do-it-all, protective, cooling, and soothing balm. Your skin feels softer, less stressed, and invigorated. You’ll love the mild scent from camphor, eucalyptus, and spearmint. Use it overnight for the ultimate soothing experience.

beauty by earth | SELF TANNING MOUSSE
Perfect for those sunless winters or that glowy “fresh from vacation in the tropics” look. This self tanner is super user friendly and doesn’t have that horrible traditional self tanner smell(probably because its non-toxic)!!
It’s a quick-drying mousse that’s filled with natural ingredients. No dyes, sulfates, or parabens. Just a nice, golden glow from plant-based ingredients.
I use shade' ‘fair to medium’ however they also have a ‘medium to dark’ shade as well(yay)!!

ilia| NIGHTLITE BRONZER POWDER
The best bronzer that doesn’t leave you looking ‘muddy’. I also sometimes use it as an eyeshadow! we love a multifunctional product around here.
It’s a clean, talc-free, finely milled powder that delivers a natural bronzed look. Buttery soft textures blend easily and can build from a natural sun kissed glow to more dramatic payoff.
I wear shade ‘Drawn in’
inkling scents | PERFUME
My signature scent without the guilt of toxic chemicals. This is the first perfume I have been able to wear that doesn’t send me into a migraine. If you have toxicity sensitivity like me, you’ll love having the option to wear perfume for special occasions again.
