    Using beauty products may not be the most environmentally harmful part of your daily routine (well, unless of course you're addicted to hairspray), but if you're into going the natural route for the sake of saving your skin and the planet, you're certainly not the only one! Lucky for us eco-conscious makeup mavens, some of our favorite beauty brands have jumped on the green bandwagon and made natural, organic, and eco-chic versions of their popular products. For example, Lancome's Juicy Tubes Pure are just like the old favorite, but this time with 95% natural ingredients! And Urban Decay's shadow box packs 10 of their favorite shadows into a sustainable wooden box complete with a cruelty-free eyeshadow brush. I won't be dramatic and say that a few coats of organic mascara will save the world, but hey -- every little gesture counts! Take a browse through the slideshow to see which big-name brands have gone natural!

    April 22nd marks the 39th anniversary of Earth Day and we can all do our part in saving the environment. This year, Earth Day is focusing on topics such as renewable energy and our own commitment to sustainable living. It's easy as turning off and unplugging lights and appliances you're not using, eating locally grown food, recycling, and of course, shopping! Long gone are the days of wearing uncomfortable and shapeless eco-friendly clothing. Super stylish brands from Charlotte Ronson to J Brand have something eco-friendly in their collection! Take a look at the Organic Larch Blanket by Unison and its surprisingly affordable price. Green beauty lovers will take pride in pursing their lips with Cargo's Plantlove lipstick collection. The packaging is made of biodegradable corn and they'll even donate $2 from each purchase to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Take a peek at my slideshow for more eco-friendly items that will have Mother Earth thanking you.

    Ready For Spring Already? Stylehive's Stylescopes Has Your ...

    This winter season may be trudging along as slow as ever, giving us only minute peeks at what we have in store for springtime, but that doesn't mean that you should have to live in limbo like the weather seems to be! The signs insist that spring will be here before we know it (you didn't lose an hour of sleep for nothing!) so you might as well kiss the "blahs" goodbye and forge ahead into festive florals and bright colors fit for the (hopefully) sunny weather ahead! And while summery clothing may not be the wisest way to kick the season into gear (it is still a little too cold for flip-flops and tank tops), there's no reason why your beauty regime can't be warmth-inspired to channel the blue skies ahead! You'd be surprised at how easy it is to perk up your mood (and your look) with springy eye-brightening liners and highlighters, complexion buffers, and even scents! Pisces can spread the spring fever with a peppy floral perfume by Marc Jacobs, Virgos can play up their peepers with some stylishly long lashes, and Cancers will learn how to fake a golden glow with Smashbox shimmery bronzer! Check out the slideshow to see what beauty boosts your sign has in store this week!

    Tried and Tested- The Best Mascaras Out There!

    I took on the daunting task of trying tons of mascaras to find the best ones for you Hivers! From the latest lash technologies to the good old standbys, I didn't leave one mascara tube unopened or one eye lash uncovered. After testing over 20 mascaras, I compiled the best ones below.


    Best Overall: Smashbox Bionic Mascara, $19 at sephora.com
    What can I say? I've been wearing mascara for years now and this one blew me away! It's the first ever ionic mascara that uses a positively charged molecules that stick to lashes. It also has aloe, silk and wheat protein to strengthen and condition while you wear. This is an incredible product- my lashes were long and THICK, curled, and best of all, not clumpy. My mascara stayed on all day and well into the night with no flaking in sight!


    Best Bang for the Buck: Physicians Formula Plump Potion Lash Plumping & Stimulating Mascara, $8.95 at drugstore.com
    At only $8.95, this one is worth every penny. A large angled brush made application super easy and only needed a coat or two to get nice, thick lashes. Unlike other bargain mascaras, this one didn't flake off midway through the day.
