We're back! After a bit of a hiatus I'm back to chatting all things clean beauty and is it just me or has it been the February of FOUNDATION releases?! Today, I break down the four new foundation releases in the clean beauty world from Kosas, Ilia, Fitglow, and Pacifica. I catch you up on the launches caught my eye and whether I'll be picking up the new foundations. I share the price point, claims, key ingredients, shade ranges, and more.
P.S. New cover art + podcast title, but still the same content coming at you! I decided 15 mins was just too short for what I wanted to say each week. So goodbye "Clean Fifteen" and hello "Clean Beauty Guide!"
Hey there, budget babes! I see you! One of the biggest barriers for most people trying to get into the clean beauty space is the cost of products! I started my clean beauty journey working part time at a start-up, so I've been there and I understand the struggle! You want better for you and your household, but you also want to buy responsibly!
In this episode I share 5 of the best tips and tricks I have for making clean beauty feel more affordable and manageable. Just like in the world of conventional beauty, there are products in all price ranges (from drugstore to high end and luxury!). In the end doing clean beauty on a budget is all about taking your time by replacing products slowly, budgeting intentionally, and getting creative! I can't wait for y'all to tune in.

When I first started my clean beauty journey I was seriously bummed about having to start over from scratch on my entire makeup routine. I had only been trying to find the best products since I was, I don't know, 13 years old...no big deal. Psh. It's not like I scoured Sephoras on the weekend like it was my job or hung on every word of Youtube beauty influencers or saved every little penny from my part time job in order to buy, what I considered, must have makeup. Nah.
JUST KIDDING. I totally did those things and it was frustrating that I had found products that I loved and now had to part ways with in the name of health and wellness. So, I made it my mission from the very get-go of this clean beauty thing to try and find products that worked just as well as, if not better, than my old conventional favorites. And guess what? I totally have...at least on most accounts!
Even better, I've been able to find some exact or near-exact dupes for some of my old favorite products and I'm sharing them with you today!
Starting your clean beauty journey can be lots of things - exciting, frustrating, confusing, and so much more! One of the first questions I wanted to ask others who went down this road before me was, “Where the heck do you shop for this stuff?!” So, today I'm letting you in on some of my absolute favorite places to shop clean (and some may even surprise you!).
