I’m sure it hasn’t escaped your attention that Earth Day (April 22) is this week. But it is ALSO the 10th anniversary of Juicy Tubes. And Lancome is doing several things to celebrate both.
First of all, they’ve launched (limited edition) Juicy Tubes 100% Natural Origin. The formula includes Hungarian honey, royal jelly extract, beeswax, and shea butter (and annatto and carmine for color). They’re flavored with vanilla, apricot, and raspberry. They’re $18 and come in four shades: Pink Precious, Rose Pretty, Blushing Beauty, and Sheerfully Sweet.
Secondly, Lancome spokesmodel Elettra Wiedemann happens to be associated with a charity called JustOneFrickinDay (justonefrickinday.com). The idea is that you visit the website, calculate what one day’s salary is for you, then donate that amount. The charity takes on only one or two projects at a time, trying to maximize impact for those operations. Their current project involves working with the Solar Electric Light Fund (SELF), to build the first solar powered hospital in Burundi. Lancome has already made a donation to JustOneFrickinDay.
Third! Lancome persuaded House of Diehl, Rag & Bone, Giambattista Valli, Rogan, Chris Benz, and Phillip Lim to each design a shirt for JustOneFrickinDay. If you’re lucky enough to live in NYC, and you go buy a 100% Natural Origin Juicy Tube at the boutique on the Upper West Side, April 22 – 25, they’ll give you one of these limited edition, 100% organic cotton shirts for free. (If you order online on those dates, you can still get free shipping and two deluxe samples, but not a shirt.)
Not in NYC? Not to worry. I have THREE Juicy Tubes 100% Natural Origin (in Blushing Beauty, Rose Pretty, and Pink Precious) and TWO of the shirts (Rogan in size medium; Giambattista Valli in size large) to give away.
Want to win? Leave a comment below and tell me a green tip (beauty tip or other). Three winners will be selected at random; prizes will be assigned at random; one entry per person; contest open to readers anywhere in the world; contest ends this Sunday at midnight. Two people will win gloss + shirt, the third will win just a gloss (sorry!). Good luck!

Buying a reusable water bottle instead of drinking from plastic bottles saves a lot of waste!
Always turn off lights when you leave a room, or leave the house..seems easy, but a lot of people just forget it!
Green tip is to turn off the water when you’re brushing your teeth! You waste so much water leaving it on.
Unplug your utilities when you aren’t using them! Even if they’re off, you save a lot of electricity when you unplug them.
Use reuseable bags instead of the plastic grocery bags at the store.
Buy produce from local farms to save on fuel used for shipping.
plug off computers,tvs etc. turn off ALL lights when you go to bed
try not to use face wipes, they are one time use and clog landfills. instead, use a wash cloth or facial sponge
I believe in reusing paperbags!
Always recycle plastic bags from the grocery store..better yet, keep a reusable one in your car in case you forget!
Use public transportation as often as you can!
Use public transportation and use paperbags!!!
I always separate the rubbish into 3 bags. Later I take the paper and plastic bags to recycle.
Always BYO! bring ur own groceries bag, bottled water, or take away boxes (or lunch box), etc

Buy a clothing drying rack or line rather than using the dryer.

Reuse plastic bags from the grocery store as garbage bags.
Use the rain water to wash the floor.
Thanks for the chance.
My green tip would be to use a tote to hold your purchases rather than using a new plastic bag every time. There are so many beautiful totes sold nowadays and not only do they help our environment, but they can also be more fasionable and durable than normal plastic bags! Or if you really dont want to spend money on a tote, then carry a bigger purse to hold your smaller beauty purchases! works just as good =)
Use plastic bags you receive from shops and spread it in your waste bin/basket. Easier to take out into the trash, and puts those spare plastics to use.
The boxes that the cosmetics come in can be cut up and reused as organizers for your makeup!
Use organic and natural toothpastes, mouthwashes and breath sprays!
Using the re-usable bags helps reduce plastic bags.
walking or biking instead of driving. Exercise is good for the body and not relying on the car when commuting
