Vegan and eco-friendly/organic beauty company, PritiNYC, recently launched a new soy-based nail polish remover product that comes in a convenient & portable wipe format and leaves out the typical hazardous chemical properties of other nail polish remover products that may cause cancer, birth defects, and various negative long term side effects. The PritiNYC wipes are not only 100% biodegradable, but have also been stamped and approved by the US Environmental Protection Agency, and besides the naturally-occurring origin of this product, the wipes can also be shipped via mail due to the non-hazardous properties of this eco-wipe that clears away both harmful chemicals and nail polish.
The PritiNYC Soy Polish Remover Wipes (10 Count) are available for purchase online at PritiNYC’s website, selling for $9.99 USD per product package. Also, for more information and updates on PritiNYC, visit their Facebook and Twitter pages.

Fashion Pulse Daily tests two different masks that do the trick when it comes to locking in moisture and rejuvenating the skin.
Don’t be scared; there’s nothing wrong with my face, except that it just needs a refresher.Above, I am sporting a two-piece mask by Amore Pacific. First, an ampule is applied to the skin, then the mask is laid over to lock in the moisture. This type of mask is much more popular in Asia, although I prefer it as it seams to really seal in the emollients and makes for easy clean up. Although I couldn’t find this one to be sold anywhere in the US, here are some of Amore Pacific‘s other skin care products.
Next, I tested the Borghese Fango Active Mud for Face and Body (7 oz bottle retails for $33.50) which I had recently received from ELLE Magazine, which had also granted it their ELLE seal of approval.As you can see, there’s really no hiding the deep mud color, and the recomendation is to apply it thickly and leave on the face and/or body for 2-5 minutes, which is about all I seem to have these days for my beauty routine. This product works to unclogs pores, eliminates dead skin cells and detoxifies impurities, while leaving your skin silky smooth!
Which kind of masks do you use?

As part of a six-city wide bus tour and beauty brigade, world-renowned haircare product company, Garnier Fructis stopped by Times Square in New York City to lend a green thumb. Inside the tour bus, shelves were stacked with bottles and samples of Pure Clean Garnier Fructis hair products to clean, style, and nourish air-polluted locks – an unfortunate downside to urban lifestyles.
The main goal of the tour/beauty brigade is to increase popular participation in saving the environment – and by default, the world – by pledging to collect recyclable items/used beauty product containers and shipping them to TerraCycle within two weeks to receive 2 cents per item that is donated towards any charity of choice. To get involved with this enviro-saving brigade, simply visit the Garnier Fructis Pure Clean Official Website and click on the Get Involved tab for the Cleaner Greener World Tour Beauty Brigade.
You can also have your personal commitment published publicly on Garnier Fructis’ Facebook page. Garnier Fructis and TerraCycle are diligently collaborating to raise awareness about the extra help our environment needs and get the public to actively participate in their earnest efforts to help save the world. With the ingenuity and help of TerraCycle, various post-beauty products (not limited to only Garnier Fructis product bottles) have been and are being converted into other items for everyday use, such as nootebooks, containters, baskets, or board slates that can be put into making a children’s playground. So, get all your old,empty bottles of shampoo and other beauty products together, put them into an old shoe box, label it, and ship it to TerraCycle for them to refashion into an enviro-friendly manner!

Starting April 15th, 2011, the Nars Summer 2011 Collection is available for purchase either online directly from their website, as well as through various beauty retailers (such as Sephora and Bloomingdale’s).

The highlight of the collection is the Cap Ferrat Trio Eyeshadow, which”fuses three cool-toned variations of teal for an effortless day-to-evening transition” and was originally inspired by the Alpes-Maritimes region of France.
