The Detox Market Opens Its Doors in San Francisco

January 23rd, 2012 at 01:30pm Under Natural Beauty+ Personal Care

There are endless “natural” beauty and health brands out there making claims, and sometimes it feels like a second job just wading through all the information. Which is why The Detox Market is a great idea. The store’s concept is simple: the founders curate one exemplary natural product in each beauty category (a sole lipstick, the best sunscreen, etc.) and sell everything in an uncluttered boutique. So instead of walking in and being overwhelmed by inconsistent labeling and hundreds of ingredient lists, you get a single high quality, prescreened option. There are already two Detox Market locations in LA, but northern California just got its first, at 969 Valencia Street in San Francisco’s Mission neighborhood. We paid a visit intending just to have a chat and a look around, but ended up buying half the store. As it turns out, most of the beauty selection includes stuff we already love or have been dying to try. They even carry some longtime Bella favorites, including sunscreen obsession, Suntegrity, and they were the first place we’ve seen actually carrying cult favorite Ilia lipstick, which we now can’t stop applying. It might not be the store for people who love overwhelming variety, but for us, it made buying natural beauty fun again.

What a Year’s Worth of Makeup Looks Like Applied All at Once

June 29th, 2011 at 06:57pm Under Natural Beauty+ Personal Care

Quirky filmmaking duo Lernert and Sander decided to see what a full year’s worth of makeup would look like applied all at once. And now you can see the results in all their time-lapsed glory in the new short Natural Beauty . Putting on all the makeup took makeup artist Ferry van der Nat and his assistant Vanessa Chan almost nine hours, and the team ended up using “seven bottles of Ellis Faas Foundation S103; two bottles of Creamy Eyes E107; three Milky Lips L205 pens; and two bottles of Blush S301.” All together that accounts for an impressive 228.40 ml of makeup. “We tested a 100-layer session a few days before on our intern, who is a man,” the team says. “We wanted to make sure that this amount of makeup wouldn’t kill a person. It didn’t kill our intern so we trusted everything would be fine,” they explained. What do you think of the results? Tell us in the comments below, and if you’d like to see some behind-the-scenes shots from the shoot, just keep reading.
