You probably have a favorite make-up brand or two that you’ve used for as long as you can remember ~ your hand automatically reaches for it at the store or make-up counter.  Well, get ready to dump your brand and fall in love with Sante America ~ absolutely the best products for your skin, nails, and hair, all infused with organic botanical oils and precious plant extracts.

Sante America is a cutting edge collection of natural (as in cruelty-free and devoid of gluten, synthetic coloring agents, fragrances and preservatives) make-up that is good to your skin, looks and feels phenomenal when applied, and it totally on trend ~ and is super affordable (yes ladies, it’s true!).  The brand offers an exclusive multi-ethnic range of certified natural cosmetics featuring beautiful, bold pigments made from gentle ingredients.  I have extremely sensitive skin and have been using the concealer and eyeshadow pencil daily  for two months now and there’s not a blemish or irritation in sight ~ plus both products feel so light once they’re on ~ no goopy feeling like you’ve just applied a coating of paint.  All the products have great staying power, too ~ no running to the bathroom to reapply or curse the fact that your eyeliner in now lining the top of your cheek, not your bottom lid.

Although Sante America made its highly-anticipated US debut this fall, its Natural Cosmetics brand is a top selling European brand with a heritage that goes back to 1977. One of Europe’s “Greenest” brands, its high-impact color, natural ingredients, and variety of products are poised to become one of the US’s favorite brands as well!

Here are just a few of my favorite products that I never leave home without:

Face
Concealer ($12): Banish blemishes and under-eye circles with this gentle yet effective cover-up.

Eyes
Eyeshadow Pencil ($11): Naturally seductive color and pure ingredients unite for this beauty bag must-have.

Lips
Lip Duo Contour and Gloss ($12): This go-everywhere duo delivers defined lips and glossy glamour.

Nails
Nail Polish ($15): These hypoallergenic polishes deliver quick-drying pigment free from harmful ingredients.

You can order any of the above at www.santeamerica.com, but also browse the website for lots of other fabulous cosmetics, face cleansers, hair care products, nail polishes, bath and body products, and their Men’s Natural Skin and Body Care line.
