Although the day will have long since passed by the time you read this post, I started writing it on Earth Day (long story), and while I’m not exactly the world’s foremost expert on green beauty, I love it, and I love seeing what the brands that specialize in organic beauty products have to offer.
Juice Beauty is a well-respected brand in the world of organic, earth-friendly makeup, and they call themselves “the organic solution.” They incorporate a host of plant based ingredients into their products and make it clear that they want you to look at the list of common cosmetic industry ingredients that their products are formulated without.
Though I’ve previously dabbled in Juice Beauty’s extensive skin care line (their award winning Green Apple Peel is seriously amazing), I’ve never used the brand’s cosmetics before. They recently launched a number of new products this spring, and I’ve been taking some of them out for a spin.
The Phyto-Pigments Cream Shadow Sticks ($22.00 each) come in an array of neutral, eye color-enhancing shades.
Oh, bear in mind that naturally formulated makeup doesn’t usually last as long as synthetically formulated products, but they aren’t intended to. With that in mind, although these shadow sticks do crease on me after only four hours, they otherwise live up to my high expectations and apply like a dream.
Cove, a shimmering shell neutral, brightens the eyes all on its own, but it also pairs perfectly with brighter pops of powder shadow when used as a base (that’s how I’m wearing it in my portrait up above).
I adore the combination of the Satin Lip Cream in Cabernet (one of eight; $24 each) blended and mattified as a base for the Liquid Lip in Gwyneth (one of eight; also $24 each).
PHYTO-PIGMENTS Cream Shadow Stick Ingredients:
Helianthus annus (organic sunflower seed oil)*, organic tapioca starch*, octyldodecyl dimer dilinoleyl alcohol/succinic acid copolymer, copernicia cerifera (organic carnauba wax)*, butyrospermum parkii (organic shea butter)*, zea mays (organic corn starch)*, silica, helianthus annus (sunflower seed wax), glyceryl caprylate, malus domestica fruit cell culture extract, citrus limonum leaf cell extract, vitis vinifera fruit cell extract, tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate (Vitamin C), tocopherol (Vitamin E), vegetable glycerin, magnesium silicate, betaine (plant derived), phospholipids (plant derived), vitis vinifera (grape seed oil), eclipta prostrata (false daisy extract), eclipta prostrata (false daisy leaf extract), moringa oleifera seed oil. May contain: titanium dioxide, iron oxides (CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499), mica.
While the Satin Lip Cream is a big grittier than I’m used to, it functions almost like a lip liner for Gwyneth, which is by no means your average liquid lipstick. These days we’ve come to think of liquid lipsticks as a quick drying formula that wears matte, but Juice Beauty’s rendition feels like a literal melted lipstick. It’s glossy, emollient and a little goes a very long way!

I’d been wondering about this brand! So thanks for this 😀

I have to confess I’ve never heard of this brand before! All sounds very positive though, particularly the lip products. Thanks for posting this! Do you know if we only purchase these from the brand’s website?
Jessica Revitte says
I’m fairly certain that it’s more widely available. I believe ULTA stocks some Juice Beauty products?

sarahc says
Well I’m a tartelette so of course I want to give this line a try. The shadow sticks sound not very good, maybe they’re a skip, but the lip items look positive.
Jessica Revitte says
I’m thinking if you’re used to super long wearing shadows then these won’t be for you. They’re certainly more natural meaning that they don’t wear forever. But the lippies are lovely!

I’m always looking for skin-toned eye shadows and liked how well the swatch matched your skin tone. I am going to check this one out! Thanks!

I’m so glad to hear I could help!

I’ve been wondering about their newer foundation more than anything lately. I love the apple peel too. I used to use it through my 20’s and early 30’s!
Jessica Revitte says
Haven’t tried the foundations yet, but I’ve also heard good things!
