Liphilanthropy

Purse-friendly cosmetics are always a girl's best friend. There's nothing worse than opening your satin-lined clutch to find that your favorite black kohl eye pencil has gone Harold and the Purple Crayon everywhere.

On the topic.... My lovely friends at Tarte never cease to amaze me with the fabulous luxuriously packaged products of their Fall 08' Health Couture collection that are not only eco-conscious, but handbag-conscious as well!

Not only do these four silky lipsticks come in plush fall colours, but they are super fruit infused, with the likes of Goji Berry (for anti-aging) and Acerola (for skin clarity!)

Also, they come with a mini matching lipliner, all tucked away in their own carrying case, quilted in Tarte's signature royal purple.

But the benefits are not only for you, of course.
Tarte's current collection is in cahoots with the Sambazon Sustainable Acai Project, helping to preserve communities in the Amazon Rainforest.


Look for Tarte's Lip Couture lipstick set ($32) at Sephora, Henri Bendel, and Tarte.com.
