Ladies, we love our lipstick. And we love our blush, and we simply adore our mascara. But these products that make us feel oh-so-gorgeous are sometimes full of things that are oh-so-dangerous for another important lady: Mother Earth.
But if you're not quite ready to ditch the instant sex appeal in a tube by Chanel for a granola brand just yet, consider showing your greener side with something easy: an eco-friendly cosmetic bag! Gecko Traders creates tragically hip recycled rice bags, which are not only good for the environment but also provide employment for needy people. Even Shalom Harlow has publicly professed these are the bags she carries all around New York to run errands! Why did these bags catch my eye? First, they're just plain hot. Plus, I haven't seen them all over everywhere - a fashionista€™s dream! Triply amazing was the fact that these little sacks are helping to take the beauty biz to a greener level.And since gifts are on everyone€™s mind (€˜tis the season), these little satchels make for great stocking stuffers that come with their own backstory, and with a price tag of about $23 or less for a set of three, can you say "bargain"?Gecko Traders prides themselves in making quality products. €œI may have a lot of problems running a small business, but quality is not one of them!" founder Kimberly Person tells Stylehive. "The products are dynamite!€� Agreed!Where In The Hive: bookmark Who: JETSET3000 was the first to add the Gecko Traders cosmetic bagRebecca Suhrawardi Austin, a fashion writer from New York City, is a graduate and former Board Member of the Fashion Institute of Technology.
