I love makeup and beauty products of all kinds. I always have, and I always will. I’m not a huge fan of the normal stuff though. Nope. For a beauty product to lure me in, it has to have some kind of special something about it. Whether that’s the color, texture, or effect, it all depends.
I am currently IN LOVE with some of the really fun makeup trends that are going on right now. Especially the vivid colors of things. We’re featuring all things green here. As in the color green. These are some of my favorite green beauty finds.
Super Fun Green Beauty Finds
Editorial samples may have been provided of these green beauty finds. Links may be commissioned.
Lemonhead LA
I love all things glitter and sparkle. That extends to body glitter. Lemonhead LA makes some of the best body glitter I’ve seen. It stays on for hours, doesn’t seem to shed a crazy amount, and is so dang sparkly. It also doesn’t lose the color when you apply it, like so many colors do. If you’re headed out for an evening, try adding a little – or a lottle – body glitter to your makeup look. Use it as a highlighter, use it as eyeshadow. Use it anywhere you want a little sparkle and to draw some extra attention. Shown here in one of our favorite green beauty finds – Spacepaste in the colorway Viper
SpaRitual
Nail polish and nail lacquer is a mainstay in most women’s beauty repertoire. However, it can be really unhealthy. SpaRitual was one of the first in the industry to remove harmful ingredients from their nail lacquers. They have gorgeous colors and a nice formulation that lasts. For a couple of great green beauty finds for your nails, try Morning Dew for a lovely creamy green tea shade that’s perfect for spring or Under the Willow for a dark grassy green.
What’s Up Nails
What’s Up Nails? Is a company that was started by Alena Monson, a nail art lover and influencer. The line consists of lots of fun stuff, like unique nail colors, chrome finish powders, and nail decals. A couple of their top choices for fab green beauty finds include Peridot nail polish, which is a sparkly metallic light lime green, and Rainforest chrome powder, which lends a fabulous deep metallic iridescent jade-forest green to your nails.
18.21 Man Made Spirits Spritzer
Body sprays, especially those made for men, can have a negative connotation. 18.21 Man Made‘s Spirits Spritzers are different, though. They smell better, more grown up, perhaps even a little sophisticated. Available in the same great scents as the rest of their line, these sprays are perfect for taking on the go. Put one in his desk at work, his gym bag, or even his work bag.
MA:NYO Cleansing Soda Foam
Korean beauty, or KBeauty has infiltrated North America, and isn’t going anywhere any time soon. MA:NYO is one of the Kbeauty brands you should know about. Their Cleansing Soda Foam is a great second cleanser, if you’re into oil cleansing, and gets the impurities from your pores. If you’re not into oil cleansing, it’s a gentle everyday foaming cleanser. How is this green, you ask? The cleanser itself is green in color, and the ingredients are pretty clean for cosmetics, making it also clean and a green beauty find.
Juice Beauty Green Apple Age Defy Moisturizer
There’s a reason Juice Beauty’s Green Apple Age Defy Moisturizer has been a cult classic for so long. It works! The powerful antioxidants that help combat the signs of aging, combined with good for our skin ingredients. Ingredients like CoQ10 and peptides to help smooth your skin and combat wrinkles, vitamin C for brightening, collagen for a youthful appearance, and malic acid from green apples. This moisturizer has been clinically proven to fight free radicals and environmental pollution and improve your skin’s appearance and texture.
Voesh Rainforest Mist Shower Filter + Sugar Scrub Wash Duo
Voesh creates items that are designed to have a spa like experience in our own environments, at a reasonable price. The Vitamin C Shower Filter is the perfect example. You screw it on to your shower arm, attach your shower head to the other end, and let it work its magic. The filter helps remove impurities from your water, moisturizes your skin and hair, and smells oh so good.
Pair the Vitamin C Shower Filter with Sugar Scrub + Bubble Wash. The body wash starts as a sugar scrub and finishes as a bubbly body wash. How fun is that? Plus, you get your exfoliation in, too. Voesh has shower filters and body washes that are the same scent, so it’s truly an immersive spa like experience. The items are vegan, too.
Grace & Stella Comb and Get It
One of the best parts of getting your hair done is the scalp massage. It just feels soo good. You can get a similar feeling at home with the Grace & Stella Comb and Get It. It’s a jade comb that feels so good when using it to comb your hair. The design stimulates your scalp, which is one of the places that we so often forget about. Jade is believed to have nourishing and gentle energy and has long been considered to be a symbol of beauty, grace and longevity. This is one of those green beauty finds that you’ll reach for again and again.
Green Fragrances
Fragrances are definitely a must have green beauty item. These are a few of our favorites that have both a green scent and a green look. Check out the Demeter green fragrances, too.
Elizabeth Arden Green Tea Scent Spray
Elizabeth Arden’s Green Tea perfume is a great light scent that is perfect for the Spring and Summer seasons. It’s not intrusive and overpowering, like some fragrances can be. The fresh scent is a perfect blend of green tea with a touch of citrus and mint. With top notes of rhubarb, citrus, and caraway, it complements the green tea to create a cooling and refreshing scent that has moderate staying power. Add in the base of amber, oakmoss and musk that gives it a slightly earthy quality. This is a pleasant everyday wear fragrance for warmer weather that doesn’t have to be reapplied throughout the day. Great for teens and younger adults, but good for women that want a lightweight, yet fully developed and rounded out perfume.
Tocca Florence eau de parfum
Florence by Tocca is a classic and timeless floral scent inspired by Paris in the 1920s. With top notes of grapefruit leaf, pear, apple and bergamot, the scents blend effortlessly with the floral heart of gardenia, iris, tuberose, jasmine and violet leaf, The base notes of musk and white woods balance the fragrance, making it a scent that you will enjoy time and again. The bottle is designed to mimic a vintage 1920s design that makes it perfect to display as well as wearing the fragrance itself. The strong scent of gardenia and jasmine is complimented by the green pear to make a lovely scent reminiscent of the inside of a flower shop. Great for women of all ages, this could be a nice signature scent.
Wood Green by Dsquared2 eau de toilette for men
Wood Green by Dsquared2 is fresh green scent that’s geared toward men, but could definitely be worn as a unisex fragrance. It has a citrusy-woodsy scent that’s pleasant and not overpowering. With top notes of lemon, bourbon pepper, and Santolina, these blend well with the heart notes of Vetiver, Cedar and Resins. Base notes of Ambroxan, Cypriol Oil, Nagarmotha and Musk round out and balance the woodsy blend. Great for a younger man to wear as an everyday scent during Spring and Summer. The mix of various fresh green woods with a hint of pepperiness is a nice contrast with the lemony citrus notes. It’s what a green forest in a bottle would smell like.
Green Style Accessories
These green accessories are definitely adjacent to green beauty finds. I think they are great accompaniments to the rest of the list.
R. Riveter Lucy Pouch
Everyone needs a great makeup bag. The Lucy Bag, shown in Fatigue Floral, from R. Riveter is a perfect option. Big enough to hold your treasures, yet not so large that all your stuff gets lost. Whether you use it for organizing your toiletries, putting your actual cosmetics in, or just to help organize your everyday bag, a good zippered pouch always comes in handy.
R. Riveter provides jobs for military spouses that otherwise have difficulty finding employment, due to the unique lifestyle. Their items are all handmade in the USA.
Golden Hour Peepers Sunglasses
Everyone needs sunglasses. Why not makes them stylish and colorful? Peepers made their name as the source for reading glasses that were modern, youthful, and trendy. They also have sunglasses, and they’re following the same ethos. These Golden Hour matte green ombre sunglasses are perfect for any time you want a pop of color in your wardrobe. And if you need readers that are sunnies, Peepers has ya covered there, too. You can get their polarized sunglasses as regular strength or in their magnifications.
Stockholm Plus Earbuds by Urbanista
Earbuds are a major mainstay in today’s society. I mean, they basically could be considered as an accessory. Why not get a pair that looks as good as they sound. The Stockholm Plus earbuds are truly wireless with more than 20 hours of playtime between charges and have everything you’d expect, like Bluetooth, voice and touch control, a built in microphone, etc. The fab iridescent dark pine green color really elevates the look and sets these earbuds apart.
