Question, beauties – How often do you consider the sustainability status or environmental impact of your purchases? Often this is something that is so easily overlooked these days, which is unfortunate considering how influential our dollars really are on the earth. We’re sure you’ve noticed that, here at Depths, we are ALL about using the most eco-friendly, sustainable, recyclable and reusable products we can – all in the name of Mama Nature! We get it – it can be difficult to source good quality products that also align with these nature loving ways, BUT, believe us, there are plenty of amazing natural beauty brands that do just that.

One thing I know for sure, wearing lipsticks that are cruelty-free and made without any chemical nasties will leave you looking and feeling better than ANY chemical laden products. In fact, we quite literally end up eating much of the lipstick we put on our lips (up to 4 kilos in a lifetime!)! So beauties, ensuring that we are steering well away from Carmine, Petroleum Waxes, Parabens, Silicones, Coal Tar Dyes, or any synthetics is SO important for protecting our bodies. Lucky for us, we are SPOILT for choice when it comes to conscious lipsticks and Nude by Nature have just released a full range of Lipsticks, Lipglosses and Lip Pencils that swap chemical nasties for good for you ingredients including Kakadu Plum, Shea Butter, Desert Lime and Tangerine Oil.
