lurker question, natural beauty/bath products recs

[gigem]

Hi I'm kinda new around here, I tend to hang out in the travel, international living, and mmm boards. But I had a question that I figured maybe someone over here could help me with.

So whenever I poke around the beauty section I am interested/curious about the natural beauty/bath products (I know some of it might just be marketing, some things are toted be "bad" that maybe aren't...). Anyways I've bought a bit of Mineral Fusion (I love their nail polishes) and I like Kiss My Face sunscreens. I use Bare Minerals some, I don't wear make-up very often at the moment, but I am going back to work in a few months and I want to get back into an everyday make-up routine when I start working again.

I was looking online for tinted moisturizer and I was on the page for the Allure beauty recs best of 2015 under the natural section and the one that has recommended is from a brand called beauty counter, that i guess bans a bunch several different ingredients in their products... but from what i can tell the brand it is a sort of direct sales type of brand which made me skeptical? Has any tried any of their products? Or any other natural brands to recommend? I also use some of the Weleda products like Skin Food but I've never seen Welda with a make-up line.

TIA!

I haven't tried their products. But i am pretty sure target has some natural/organic skincare and cosmetics? I'd start there and tear HR out and see how you feel about it?

I tend to review whatever brand I am trying through the EWG database. I'm not sure if this is considered natural or not but I love Tarte BB Cream. I had hard time finding a tinted moisturizer that worked for me but I really like the Tarte. I think Korres and Josie Maran are also pretty natural- she has a BB Cream or tinted moisturizer that I was really tempted to try this morning but I went with old faithful.

natural is a really broad, unregulated term that a lot of companies take advantage of. i feel like it's important to do your own research and decide for yourself which level of "natural" you are okay with. i buy all of my skincare and make up from either citrine natural beauty bar, spirit beauty lounge, and/or integrity botanicals. all are online retailers and i know citrine has an actual store, but not sure about the other two.

oh, except my acure products. i get those from thrive market but i know they are in whole foods and maybe even target? not sure. acure is at a super affordable price point.
