Beauty-fuls: Wash...Wait NO...Wipe away the days sins!!

Tina Tsang

( A repeat post.. Because we all need to be reminded to get that Halloween makeup OFF!)

Ahhhhhh....there is nothing like slithering out of your tights, bra and heels then jumping into your yummy and almost too cozy bed after a late night of fun...

But wait!!!!! You forgot to wash your face!!!!

Yikes!

How in the heck are you going to get out of bed now? But you do have to take off the nights sins, right?

Sure we all wish we would look like this after sleeping in our makeup after a late night..

But you know it really ends up looking like this!!!

Sorry to scare you but it's true!

But cereal... sleeping in makeup causes soooo many problems we do not want...

Like...

Missing eyelashes...getting zits and clogged pores...wrinkly and dry skin...eye styes...the list goes on...

Sooo when those all too fun nights happen... just reach over into your bed side table and grab a makeup removing wipe!

Voila! Makeup be gone and skin refreshed...

Here are our faves and a few that get the all the raves...

First and super foremost we wanted to tell you about Yes to Carrots (Cucumbers) Facial Towelettes...

Not only is this one of the most animal and earth loving cosmetic companies ever...their products actually work...and ding ding ding...they won't cost you a new pair o' shoes!!!

SYTC Natural Glow Towelettes are over 98% all natural and made with organic ingredients like green tea and Dead Sea minerals to detoxify, exfoliate and rejuvenate your skin in a quick wipe! Done and earth angel-y done!

And for under $7 for 30 wipes we say...Yes!

Miss Me can thank the folks over a Neutrogena for their amazingly well working wipes (say that 5 times fast after a late night o' dancin!). The ridiculously stunning and great skinned Miss Me has been known to reach for these after a long day...
They are best sellers for a reason. Neutrogena's Cleansing wipes are super quick and effective at removing all your makeup and eye makeup in a fast swipe!

They are gentle and soft and for $6 for 25 you can't go wrong!

PS They have a patent pending for the ingredient that removes waterproof mascara! Yup..we are sooo in...

We are koo-koo for Korres makeup and now we are krazy for their Pomegranate Make Up Removing Wipes...

These soft wipes remove dirt, makeup and oil super fast and effectively and leave behind totally toned, tightened and anti-oxidant protected skin!

Plus they are natural and made with out Parabens, sulphates, dyes, and gross chemicals.

A certain someone I know all too well...(hint..I see her in the mirror every morning) just started to use Comodynes wipes after her uber beautiful friend SM forced her to buy them.

And they are scrumdidilyumptous!

After a super late night filled with friends smoking (GROSS) and flowing champagne, these soft and gentle wipes totally cleanse, hydrate and tone stinky and dirty skin wiping away the evenings sins...

Only $6 for 20 sin wiping wipes...

From the people that continue to bring us amazing makeup and even better ads...MAC has their own line of wipes that are just as fantastical as their make up is...

Their HUGE wipes are super saturated with deep cleaning MAC cleanser and Vitamin E for gorgeous glowing makeup free skin in no time flat.

You can get 100 of these incredible wipes for only $25!!! Hello bargain!

What do you get when you combine powerful anti-agers (yay!!), deep cleansers and Vitamin C with a textured moist towelette????

L'oreal's Revitalift Cleansing Towelettes....

These bad boys are loaded with stuff to wipe away the grime, makeup, eye makeup and oil to reveal clean, moisturized and maybe younger looking skin. (well that last bit remains to be seen but it does have Vit. C in it)

And at $6 for 30 you can't go wrong...

There are tons more out there ...like... E.L.F., Boots, Garnier, Olay, Klorane just to name a few.
We can't wait to try the Josie Maran ones....but ... let us know your faves and maybe we will post about your success! Or try the ones above and let us know what you think!

P.S. Although most of these say you can use them as your skin care regime...it's best to only use these in a pinch.

Be dirty...get clean...

Beauty-fuls: Cosmetics that do beauty-full things...

We all love to look our best, look in the mirror and say, "Wow! I look really good today!".  But what if we can not only say that, but we can also say, "Wow!  I did my part today, and it was super easy.  I would love to do more (and look like a hot as biotch while doing it)."

Well my gorgeous friends and bunnycats... now you can.  With our Mother Earth in a crisis along with our economy and world we have no choice but to make a change and difference.  But in the past it was not the easiest thing to do.  Now we can make a difference and its pretty darn easy.  Start here and build up to doing more...why not?  It feels great!

We were so moved by the recent Lush campaign we saw, we had to do this post and much more. We are not only going to try to put money into cosmetic companies that do good and donate to charities that help meaningful causes, we are going to keep donating our time and money to some of our favorite charities.  

While walking in ridiculously beautiful Santa Monica we saw smelled this amazing hand cream by Lush Cosmetics. (the black packaging alone from this store drives us to empty our wallets) The black pot of yumminess was called, Charity Pot body lotion...

It smells divine and softens even a sailors mitts and body.  Imagine how excited we became when we noticed that the retail proceeds go to one of the many great charities they partner with!

Now as our closest friends know, we are OBSESSED with animals!  So as soon as we laid our eyes on this soap we about died!  Look at that face!!!   How can we save that incredible angel?  

Oh...by buying a lime/lavender/coconut 100% natural soap???  Um... hmmm ...YES PLEASE!

Now take heed.. if you are like us, you may want to wear waterproof mascara when you read what it is they do to these stunning and innocent creatures.  Its barbaric and beyond insane.  
That said, please honor these angels by reading it and maybe signing a petition or 3 and smelling good by buying a helpful soap or lotion in the process.

Leave it to the ridiculously, crazy-gorgeous EcoBeauty that is Josie Maran to come out with an amazing facial oil from Morocco, that not only helps the skin glow, firm up and stay uber hydrated but helps out the community it comes from as well.   Josie's Argan Oil is organic and is purchased from a cooperative of women in Morocco.  The sale of each product helps to support their social and economic welfare.  (uggghhh I hate her!  but in the best way possible!)

Stella McCartney (yes Sir Paul's daughter) has always been a friend to the furry creatures.  And now she created a skin care line that helps our environment and our skin!  Score!

Her line Care is so natural and organic, the entire process is carefully watched from beginning to end.  

Now you may be saying "But T-W-H gals, I thought you said this post was about cosmetics and charity?"  Well sweet nuggets...having fully recycled and recyclable packaging, as well as 100% natural/organic ingredients and total control over the origin or each ingredient is, in its own super sweet way, a charitable donation to our environment and skin.

Ok, so... body wash- √.... soap- √...skincare- √ now all we need for our Charitable/Eco makeover is a lil' paint... I present one of the originals... one of the first forward thinking charitable companies... MAC.  

Yuppers.. that MAC...

     MAC launched its Viva Glam line in  1984 and the proceeds from the sale each piece (6 lipstick shades and 2 glosses) goes towards the M.A.C Aids fund.

Pretty and smart..ding ding ding!!!

We have listed a few of our fav charities below... please click on as many or as few as you want and maybe you too will get inspired.
