Hello greenies! Oh, the Spring is in full force, isn’t it? It seems like the nature blooms more and more over night; you take a look outside in the morning, and it’s more greener as it’s been previous days. And so colorful. I try to smile at this beauty that’s all around me, but the smile is still only on the surface, because so many things, which prevent me from smiling, are occupying my inner self, still.
This week, it was already time to hop around sleeveless the forest and in the garden. And barefoot, too. Quite a feeling, when the skin touches the Spring green grass, isn’t it?
Curiously, you’ve been lately sending me emails, pondering what I think about Youtube “beauty gurus”, who, among many other things, moan about cheap conventional cosmetics stinking of “chemicals” and causing terrible skin reactions. While I stay away from these so called “beauty gurus” on Youtube as much as I can, I occasionally, take a look at the video when some of you sends them to me. Since a new edition of Readers’ questions is long over due, maybe I could include this topic in it as well? In short, it’s year 2017 and there are still “beauty” bloggers/vloggers, using conventional and toxic chemicals laden cosmetics and dare to moan about it? Funny, isn’t it? But hey, it’s all about marketing – some bloggers do not care what they promote, as long as they get it for free, and some brands do not care who promotes them, as long as the bloggers have the numbers (which are, let’s be perfectly clear here – mostly bought). Does that sound like a dangerous territory onto which green beauty blogging could move to, if the steps haven’t been made already? Absolutely. I wouldn’t be surprised if in the near future some bloggers make a post or a video, when they will open 45 PR packages. I’ve been pointing out the dangers lurking underneath the green beauty blogging for a while now, but in the past year, when I wasn’t as present, things have really taken a turn for the worse. What will some do in order to imitate the beauty gurus and up other green beauty bloggers? How far away are we from a man coming up with a full contoured face using “only natural beauty products”? The future of green beauty blogging, all of the sudden, doesn’t seem as encouraging. What do you think?
In case you’ve missed – this week I reviewed the Zuii Organic Eyeshadows – pretty little things, indeed.
So, anyway, as you’re used to, I have collected some more green beauty discounts and free gifts with purchase this week – you know, in case you ran out of your favorite green beauty product or see one, which you’ve had on your wishlist for a while and is now available with a discount. Just remember – you do not need 5 cleansers, 8 toners, 45 lipsticks… But – if you’ve been a good girl this week, then go ahead and treat yourself with something – why not?
