My journey with Sol Inspirations started in 2010, I was hired as an intern whose job it was to write for the website. I did what I do and took over! haha jokes, but fo' reals I worked my way up to Associate Director of the organization before resigning that title in early 2013. I LOVE SOL. Love each and every person that the organization has given me the opportunity to meet, everything I've learned, all the memories I took with me. And now I have the pleasure of being on the Board of Directors. 

INNOVATIONS 2014 // SOL's Third Eco Fashion Scholarship Event

This epic idea started three years when Sol Inspirations was just a baby non-profit, President Detrick and I planned the NATION'S FIRST ECO-FASHION SCHOLARSHIP CONTEST. The first installment was graciously hosted at Bespoke in Edina, owner Lisa Williams is and was a member of our Executive Board. The first scholarship was a great success but world's smaller than the show we held at the University of Minnesota a few weeks ago, INNOVATION pics here. I wrote a post that includes a re-cap of that event and am now excited to talk product!

THE MAKE UP

At Sol Inspiration's it's important to all os us that we walk the walk in as many aspects as we can. Aside from eco-conscious fashion, zero-waste event production we also pulled together some great beauty products that represent our mission.

The night before the show I made my way to ULTA in Roseville, I had numerous items to pick up. We were short a make-up artist and I had volunteered my services, I am not certified but I love doing my own make up and I rarely shy away from a job that needs doing. So aside from my stage management role I also did make up for several models. Not being a regular doer of this job I needed the essentials which I found with no trouble at all.

ABBA by ABBA Pure & Natural Hair Care PURE FINISH SPRAY FIRM HOLD 8.5 OZ (PACKAGING MAY VARY)

I think if you eat vegan, then it's a no brainer that you would want to use vegan beauty products. Often times animals are used in testing of products, there are too many harmful toxins in products to even name and half of it is purely based on lazy corporations. That said I think companies that are intentionally vegan are worth your money and time. 

It Cosmetics My Sculpted Face Palette 1 ea

This product I am obsessed with, I purchased my own pallet after visiting my bestie Kaitlin and having her rave about it. I definitely don't use it to it's full potential everyday. I mainly use the highlighters and then the middle row for bronzing effects. BUT if you have the extra time and are going to be photographed a lot, running around in different lighting situations then this product offers you the whole package, complete with a contouring map. 

Now this can also be a dangerous product as it gives the perception that everyone's face is the same and that it should be shaded in such a way that highlights societies favorite aspects of a face. I believe that a person shouldn't even wear make - up if they can't truly love themselves without it on. Also this product is just for light skin tones, as far as I know there is no such product for girls with darker complexions.

That said I think this product does wonders for me personally, gives me the look I am often seeking.

Yes To Blueberries Age Refresh Towlettes, 30-Count
These wipes were very helpful in accomplishing our ZERO WASTE INITIATIVE! For our first time attempting to produce a runway show with zero waste we are incredibly proud of the results, 97.3% waste free. And the other 2.7% came out to be less than a pound of things like make-up sponge pads and other brands of face wipes. I learned that if you can easily rip the wipe with your hands it is compostable. Yes To Carrots products have been some of my favorites for a while, other reviews here. 
Physicians Formula Organic Wear 100% Natural Origin Jumbo Lash Mascara, Black Organics, 0.26 Ounce
LOVE this shit. Physician's Formula has been making great products since 1937. I wear a lot of there mineral foundations, bronzers and such but I especially love their mascara's. They aren't too heavy or sticky. It comes off easy and doesn't apply heavy.

Make up is fun! If you don't agree then I really hope you don't bother putting any of it on your face because you are beautiful without it. But if you are like me, and you pretend you are a renaissance painter creating a masterpiece when you slap it on then try these products that I signed off on! Happy play.
