The EcoTools Essentials: Makeup & Hair Brushes

by Rachael Comeau

[Starter Set brush kit and Expert Thermal Styler hairbrush]

Calling all newcomers to EcoTools: there are two new great introductory products that may very well have you hooked!  The brand prides itself on being a leader in the world of eco-friendly beauty products, and carries a range of bath-friendly items  to hair brushes and cosmetic accessories.

Your first foray into the makeup brush side of EcoTools should be the Starter Set brush Kit . The set covers all of the essential makeup categories (some brushes can double up for various kinds of makeup): Blush, Shading, Angled Eye-liner, Concealer, and the LashBand Brow Groomer. At only $12.99, it provides a great value and even comes with a travel sized cosmetic bag to protect your brushes, wherever they may roam.

The second noteworthy brush is the Expert Thermal Styler hair brush. This tool enables professional-looking blowouts a reality for anyone, and comes in two sizes (large and small) for use, depending on your hair length. The brush is designed to create long-lasting style and volume, and even reduces dry time by up to 20%, which also reduces the exposure to heat damage. The large size, for medium-to-long hair, is priced at $13.99, and the smaller size, for shorter hair, is priced at $12.99.

EcoTools products are always available online and in select retailers worldwide, such as Ulta.

Exfoliate & Refresh Skin this Fall with These Two Affordable Products

by Julia DiNardo

As the season changes, so does our skin, and in order to prepare for what lies ahead, some modifications to the cleansing routine may be in order. With the help of a couple of tools, specifically, the EcoTools Complexion Facial Sponge and Dry Body Brush, promoting the ultimate thorough (yet gentle) cleanse and promoting skin cell turnover has never been easier.

Making sure to get a good exfoliation is the key to keeping pores clear, circulation strong, and skin bright, so let’s start with the benefits of a konjac sponge. EcoTools’ Complexion Facial Sponge is made from 100% natural ingredients, most notably the konjac (pronounced cone-yak) vegetable fiber, a root plant that predominantly grows in Asia. Known in beauty circles for its gentle, detoxifying benefits, you can choose between a sensitive or deep cleansing sponge option, and all it takes is a quick rinse under warm water to start and finish the process, drying out and hardening up in between washes. Plus, it feels soothing and soft on your face once you warm it under the faucet and add your favorite cleanser.

Have you ever dry brushed before? It may sound like a foreign concept (it certainly did to me when I first heard about it at a spa), but it actually is a great way to take some of the aforementioned attributes of a konjac sponge, and spread them to your entire body, without any water needed.

All you’ve got to do is slip your hand through the Dry Body Brush handle, and gentle brush by using long, upward strokes, beginning with your legs, moving upward to the mid-section, and finishing up on your arms. It’s a great way to stimulate your skin and wake up in the morning, or habit to get into as part of your wind-down night time routine (do it before washing your face and brushing your teeth), as you are helping to remove dead skin cells but also to detoxify by awakening the lymphatic system. Warning: it may energize you and make you feel AMAZING!

The Complexion Facial Sponge is just $5.99, whereas the Dry Body Brush is $4.99; such an affordable price for a tremendous value! Follow along via the hashtag #FallForEcoTools on social for additional tips oh how to use these great tools form myself and my fellow beauty experts.

Mastering a Runway Worthy Messy Pony with EcoTools

by Julia DiNardo

Banana Republic spring 2016

[An ideal messy ponytail look from Banana Republic’s spring 2016 collection]

Christian Dior, Balmain, Banana Republic, Oscar de la Renta, Lauren Conrad, Y-3, Kate Spade New York… what do all of these brands have in common? The hair style seen at all of their spring shows were ponytails! From sleek to tousled up, high to low, and adorned with velvety ribbons or a simple elastic bungee, there’s no denying that the ponytail is the look for spring–or now! The best part is that it’s so unbelievably simple to achieve.

Focusing on my favorite version, an unfussy, fast, messy pony, I created the look with the help of some tools, starting out and finishing with the EcoTools Ultimate Air Dryer Hair Brush. This brush not only helps to dry hair 40% faster, but also is extremely gentle, perfect for the backcombing involved in this style.

In order to achieve a ponytail similar to the one featured at top, apply volumizing mousse to the hair roots and lengths, dry the hair with the EcoTools Ultimate Air Dryer Hair Brush, and add in some texture or “beach waves” spray a few minutes into the drying process. With a big barrel curling iron, loosely curl the ends in varying directions, gather, and secure with an elastic at the mid-crown. Add some dry shampoo for even more matte texture to the lengths and crown, and mess up a bit by lightly scrunching the hair. Use a distinctive elastic, like mine picture with some hardware on them for extra visual interest, or wrap the hair around the elastic and secure with a bobby pin to conceal it.
