Well hello there, Vapour Organic Beauty!

It takes a lot to get me excited about a new make up range, especially those that purport to be “green” as they often fall way behind the eight ball when it comes to pigment and performance. Then, along came word of Vapour. The story of Vapour began nearly thirty years ago with an innovative company in New Mexico, USA,
that recognized the need for healthy non-toxic product choices for women. That same company decided there was a way to create natural products that refuse to compromise, and this became their mission.
Focusing on the use of Certified Organic and safe food grade ingredients they consciously chose to eliminate chemical ingredients, and instead focus on the use of botanicals and blends of anti-oxidants found naturally in plant oils and butters. Empowered by experience and visionary creativity, they knew they had the perfect formulas and the time was right. On the other side of the country was an experienced beauty professional, Eric Sakas, who had spent years working side by side with legendary makeup artist Kevyn Aucoin developing cosmetics. He understood colour, and what makes a stellar cosmetic product . To Eric, perfect makeup products not only replicated the look of natural, healthy glowing skin, but also gave nourishing benefits to the wearer, and he just couldn’t seem to track down effective ones anywhere. Fast forward to early 2008, when he received an un-labeled sample of a new formula that he fell in love with. A partnership was born. Vapour Organic Beauty – hailed in the US as being at the forefront of the organic make up revolution – is now open for business and made from food-grade Certified Organic ingredients that have been found to offer twice as much antioxidant potency as their conventional counterparts. Exciting stuff indeed.
I’m amping to try and get my hands on one of their Trick Sticks, which they call a “new concept in skin highlighting and illumination”. This light-reflective sheer tint highlights the cheekbones, eyes and lips with a hint of luminous color, and can also be layered to create depth and dimension on the cheeks, eyes or lips. They claim that the Trick Stick will soon be known as the professional makeup artist’s secret to radiant skin, and it also seems perfectly portable, which is great for glam-loving women on the run.
