I am a makeup junkie and I love that Tarte Cosmetics has gone organic because I feel better about what I’m putting on my face won’t harm my body in the long run.
I really like Alex and Ani jewelry. It’s innovative, gorgeous, and best of all, sustainable! Makes an indulgent product feel really good.
Such a pretty dress! I’ve been using Dropps laundry detergent for a while now, and I love that it’s low on chemicals, and hugely cuts down on waste.
Ecotools – because their brushes are sooo soft!
Kelly Lane! I love her usage of color blocks and fun prints, all in eco friendly materials and practices.
It’s not something you wear, but Organic Prairie is my favorite organic brand. I love hamburgers but I will only eat organic ground beef. It can be difficult to find, but the taste, and the peace of mind, is soooo worth waiting for. Thanks for the giveaway!
I absolutely love EDUN clothing! Not only does the 100% organic cotton last for years, but the fact that the collection is entirely produced, printed, and manufactured in Africa makes it even more appealing. EDUN is trying to foster sustainable employment in developing areas of the world, like Africa, and I admire their efforts!!
Hi! I use Origins cosmetics and skincare. I’ve been a customer since my teens. Thanks 🙂
I’m a fan of Method Products. Especially the hand soap 🙂 They are non-toxic and enviro friendly.
I’ve recently become a fan of Eos lip balm. It’s organic and it really moisturizes!
Mrs Meyer’s Clean Day – household cleaning products that smell wonderful, are earth-friendly, and aren’t tested on animals. Basil is the best scent.
Ballard organics soap – it’s organic and made 1/2 mile from where I live
I like Method for cleaning products, Aveda for skincare products and the Body Shop for bath products.
I love the Method brand available at target… it comes in laundry detergent, hand soap, baby wash, etc. I swear every single product works SO well and smells fantastic. Also, it’s packaging is gorgeous and it’s very affordable!
How I found great dress bargains…
As mentioned on “Win this Thieves Racerback Empire Dre…”…
I have actually gotten hooked on organic milk (Horizon’s brand)…it actually does make a difference in taste in my opinion.
I love Aveda hair products and the emphasis the company places on being Earth friendly.
I would have to say my favorite organic, earth conscious brand would be David Babaii. I have the entire collection of their hair products as well as their blow dryer and straightener which are supposed to be made with less materials. I love this brand because not only is it cruelty-free, but their blow dryer does a heck of a job drying my hair! Not to mention that ten percent of profits are donated to WildAid (the global wildlife conservation organization) to help save endangered animals (:
Look good, do good, feel good. It’s a win/win/win!
i love the t shirt company Common Threadz. i love what they stand for and the tees are so cool..
Speaking of dishwashing detergent, I have completely switched over to the Mrs. Meyer’s brand of cleaning products. Not only do they do the job well, they smell terrific! Even my husband asked that I continue to buy them! (VERY unusual!)
DuWop Pure Venom Lip Plumping Stain is one of the top ten earth-conscious products~and I love it!! Works so good and makes my lips look Full!!
I love Noah’s Naturals because their products are yummy to drink and help stop wrinkles from the inside out, using only natural ingredients.
I love love love ecotools brushes. They’re so soft, organic, and do a great job.
That great dress would be fabulous for everyday wear!
And my fav eco brand is Simple Shoes: They’re all kinds of eco-friendly and have great winter boot style!
Sooo hard to choose, as there are now lots more options out there.(Trendy or not, the outcome is still purely positive!) But, I’m totally in agreement over Target’s Method products; I’m super sensitive to cleaning-product chemicals + have a 3yr old who’se all over my floor etc, but water, vinegar + baking soda weren’t really cutting it. Since I discovered Method products I’ve been replacing my regular toxic cleaners with them as each runs out.
As far as cosmetics, I love Aveda, Origins, + Kiehls is the best, but really, it’s too $$ for me. I do want to try Tarte products since (she)went green, + Josie Maran as well.
For clothing, I looove Loomstate, but once again can’t scarcely afford a single thing:-( Maybe as more people realize “eco-fashion” isn’t all Hemp hoodies prices will start to come down a little…If I won this gorgeous dress I could educate my gf’s on the beauty of eco-fashion!

It is REALLY hard to pick just one! I love Amy’s with all my heart. Their spicy veggie chili–oh yeah! LOVE the smell of Mrs Myers cleaners and Seventh Gen dish washing soap is the best I’ve found.
The first company that comes to mind is Patagonia (http://www.patagonia.com/web/us/home/index.jsp?OPTION=HOME_PAGE&assetid=1704&slc=en_US&sct=US). Not only are their products eco-friendly, but so are their employees and business practices.
I really love Burts Bees. I enjoy using makeup and other girlie body products but hate that most of it is full of chemicals. I had a class with a Burt’s Bees Rep. a few years ago and thought it was awesome when she told us to taste their Face Wash!!! All of their products are that safe!! If you can’t put it in your body,why would you want to put it on your body?
I love Kiss My Face beauty products. I use their face cleaner, acne products and more.
I really like Weleda bath and body products. Their skin, body, dental and hair care products are the best!
Hard to choose just one…top 4 would be: Aveda (love the hair & skin products and the candles!), Seventh Generation (green cleaning products with less chemicals/smells than regular ones), The Body Shop (‘cuz it was my 1st “green” company I discovered in middle school…love all products/makeup/charity products), and South of France (handmade organic soaps made in France…my hands have never been so soft in winter!!!! Try them!!!)
I love Spun (http://choosespun.com)! I have a tank top from Spun and it is the softest cotton I have ever felt! Organic cotton is the best! Also, the dress you are giving away is so so gorgeous!
I love the method brand because it’s natural and safe, smells awesome, and comes in cool packages.
Stewart + Brown organic clothing is wonderful. I wear their pieces almost daily.
My favorite organic brand is Korres. Their products are so amazing and they smell so good!
I know it is a little cliche, but I love everything Burt’s Bees! I have been buying their products ever since they first came out when they only had a few items, like lip balm and lotion. Now they have a great variety, and I especially love their lipstick and carrot facial lotion. The Company Store is my favorite place for things like comforters and pillows. They do not sell only organic, but even so, their products are durable, comfortable, and stylish! And for cleaning supplies and the like, I definitely use Seventh Generation.
i love DANI brand products which are organic, effective, and smell lovely — thank you for the chance!
I adore AVON – an oldie but goodie who has never tested on animals.
I like the ecostore shampoo.
I forgot to say the products work great.
