green cheeks

this morning, when i dropped my blush on the floor and it shattered to pieces, instead of getting mad, i got green.

last week at target, i picked up physicians formula “organic wear” blush, which is 100 percent free of “harsh chemicals, parabens and sythetic preservatives.

what surprised me? it also has 93 percent less plastic than a traditional compact. i had been worried about having to buy makeup in my not-buying-plastic-week experiment.

i usually wear this, which was only a buck cheaper at the store. we’ll see how i like the new stuff. my first reaction, and i’m not trying to be cheesy, is that it’s a very natural look.
