Try These 6 Must-Have Green Beauty Subscription Boxes

It's no wonder the natural makeup movement has been growing in popularity. Not only do good-for-you ingredients work wonders to cure pesky seasonal problems, but you can also DIY many of these products at home. To help fight the return of chapped lip season, we decided to mix up our own ultra soothing pumpkin spice-inspired lip gloss. Get ready to apply this all winter long.

Materials + Tools:

• 4 Tablespoons olive oil
• 2 Tablespoons coconut oil
• 2 Tablespoons shea butter
• 2 Tablespoons cosmetic beeswax
• 10 drops vitamin E
• 6 drops cinnamon essential oil
• ¼ teaspoon Mehron copper metallic powder(or Bronze Edible Cake Dust)
• Lip Gloss Container

Combine coconut oil, shea butter, olive oil, and beeswax into a glass measuring cup.

Create a double boiler by placing the glass measuring cup into a pot filled with two inches of water. Turn the hot plate or stove to medium heat and stir the mixture until everything is dissolved.

Add 10 drops of vitamin E and six drops of cinnamon extract. Stir until combined and enjoy the heavenly aroma.

Watch magic happen before your eyes when you pour in the metallic powder. Your liquid lipstick will turn into a mesmerizing formula filled with copper goodness.

Pour the mixture into its container. This recipe will yield about eight lip glosses.

Attach the top of the container and let your lip gloss sit for 20 minutes.

Take your lip gloss to the next level with labels! If you like to use programs like Adobe Illustrator, you can create and print your own, or you can just draw it.

Pass them out to your friends — but make sure to keep a few for yourself.

This shimmery gorgeousness will add an extra sparkle to your day while making your lips feel mighty fine.

Make this lip gloss a part of your daily routine and toss it in your makeup bag along with all of your favorites.

Get ready for a season filled with pumpkin-infused, plump-lip happiness.

We’re not saying one is better than the other, but if clean beauty is your thing, we’ve got some good news. A handful of the biggest names in the biz are releasing aluminum-free deodorants, eco-conscious packaging, and animal-friendly formulas. Recognizing that skincare, haircare, and makeup lovers everywhere are seeking out safe and sustainable products, the seven brands below made some major changes.

1. Coppertone: The new, hypoallergenic Coppertone Pure & Simple SPF 50 ($23) is made with 100 percent natural botanicals — such as tea plant, sacred lotus, and giant kelp — and is free of sulfates, fragrance, parabens, PABA, dyes, phthalates, alcohol, and oxybenzone.

2. L’Occitane: Because plastic waste is an issue, especially in the beauty industry, L’Occitane announced in February 2019 that it will work with Loop Industries to achieve its goal of using only recycled plastic by 2025. “Our brand is inspired by nature, people, and culture, and we have been using natural plant-derived ingredients and eco-friendly manufacturing for more than 40 years,” says Adrien Geiger, global brand director for L’Occitane. “We are therefore very conscious of the importance of eco-design and sustainable packaging… The innovative technology that Loop provides is a game-changer that can help us fundamentally contribute to solving the growing global concern about plastic pollution.”

3. Hourglass Cosmetics: If you want luxury makeup with vegan ingredients, Hourglass is one brand to watch. The cruelty-free cosmetics company plans to transform its formulas and go vegan by 2020. The ambitious goal means reformulating half of its collection with innovative ingredients that impress shoppers just as much as (if not more than) the original offerings.

4. Dove: The household name knows aluminum-free deodorants are a must for clean beauty devotees and launched Dove Zero Aluminum ($8), its first-ever alcohol- and aluminum-free deodorant range, in January 2019.

5. Herbal Essences: The Environmental Working Group verified Herbal Essences’ recent clean shampoo collection, Bio:Renew, in January 2019, marking it the first-ever mass-market shampoo to hold the status.

6. Secret: The brand launched its first-ever Aluminum Free Deodorant ($5) in February 2019, so that clean beauty shoppers can feel good about what keeps their pits fresh.

7. Naturally Serious: The brand, including its popular Skin Warrior Anti-Pollution Repair Cream ($46), already holds a Clean at Sephora seal, but in February 2019 they stepped it up a notch with the #ItGetsGreener campaign. The push calls for new packaging using reusable, recyclable, or compostable components that are made using wind power in a carbon-neutral facility.

As much as I love celebrity couples, I love celebrity sibling relationships even more. And Elle and Dakota Fanning are two sisters I've grown up watching since I first saw Dreamer in 2005. Considering Elle Fanning is only five months older than me, and I have a sister of my own, this is one relationship that feels particularly familiar. And while Elle has also watched Dakota Fanning act since we were kids, Dakota just revealed seeing Elle onscreen is just as special for her.

Here's why Dakota & Elle Fanning get emotional seeing each other onscreen.

You can see Elle Fanning in A Complete Unknown, in theaters December 25, and you can also stream Dakota Fanning's new show The Perfect Couple on Netflix now.
