a tried and true green product review…

I’d like to share with you a tried and true experience I recently had with a new online boutique – Spirit Beauty Lounge – whereby you can pick and choose from some of the best organic, cruelty-free, Fair Trade made, beauty and lifestyle brands available, all under one Earth-friendly roof.  Founded by organic beauty maven, Spirit Demerson, she and her staff diligently research and test all product ingredients and verify all company eco-policies and ethical standards for us, so we can go about our business, and shop worry-free.

Spirit features only those brands that make the grade. Each product in the boutique needs to score high in 3 critical areas: it needs to Perform – it should do what it promises, and do it well; be Potent and Pure – contain the highest possible percentage of organic or biodynamic active ingredients; and be beautifully Packaged – in biodegradable or recycled materials.

When you visit SpiritBeautyLounge.com you’ll be treated to an easy-to-use, smartly designed virtual store with extra perks like a live personal shopper and live chat customer service, free shipping offers and free samples with every order.  With a nice array of green lifestyle goods: candles, books, bags, baby bottom soothers, household cleaning products,  jewelry from recycled materials and coveted travel & trial sized organic skincare, all at the convenience of our fingertips.

Speaking of which, I have to tell you about some of the superb products, (above), I’ve been using for the past month: Acquarella Nail Conditioner ($18) and Polish Remover ($6), Ila Face Oil ($98), and Nvey Eco Moisturizing Liquid Foundation ($45).  My usually weak nails are now strong and healthy. My face feels exceptionally smooth and glowing. And the foundation has a nice texture and provides good coverage.  One side note about the nail Remover — it’s intended for the water-based ingredients in the Acquarella line and will not work on the “toxic” brands.

The good vibes continue.  As a true testament to good, clean living, Spirit Beauty Lounge is the first and only carbon-neutral online boutique for luxury green beauty and lifestyle products. They ship and gift wrap utilizing only biodegradable or recycled materials and offer carbon offsetting to offset the shipping footprint of every purchase.  The shipping and office facilities are powered by 100% Green-e certified renewable wind and hydro energy, and the Web site is hosted with 100% solar energy.  And to complete the socially responsible circle, Spirit Beauty Lounge donates to environmental groups worldwide via 1% for the Planet, and contributes to Carbonfund.org annually.
