Beauty:

• Portland Black Lipstick Company: All-natural lipsticks made in Portland, Oregon. Shades range from seafoam green to metallic olive-brown, and I am constantly amazed at how beautiful, pigmented, and varied the colors are. In my experience, customer service is wonderful. $ (All-natural, US)
• Rituel de Fille: I don’t usually wear makeup, and when I do I only use lipstick and a smidge of eyeshadow. This brand has beautiful colors of both, which are all 99% natural. $ (All-natural, US)
