A few weeks back Whole Foods hosted a little beauty seminar for local beauty bloggers to try out two of their natural and organic makeup lines, Gabriel and Zuii.

Heather Stieh, Whole Body Team Leader at the Cambie location, gave us a quick rundown of Whole Foods’ product line standards.  Long, interesting story short (much more interesting than my face conveys in the photo below), Whole Foods takes the guesswork out of sifting through the massive array of beauty products out there on behalf of their consumers, so you can rest assured that the products you are buying are of great quality, using natural, sustainable and/or organic ingredients.

Professionals were on hand to help us pick the perfect shades:

Now, I am a girl who wears very little makeup.  It’s a big day when I put eyeliner on – some powder or foundation is usually a daily regular, blush always (big fan of cream blushes), and usually some mascara.  Top that off with a light gloss and I’m good to go.  I first opted for the Gabriel liquid foundation, which I was told would give my skin a soft dewy look.  Win.  After a few weeks of testing out the the products, I’m extremely happy with everything I’ve tried.  I switched to the brown mascara by Zuii for a slightly more subtle, natural look, and the pink/coral lipstick I chose is great for transitioning my wardrobe into summer hues.

Here’s what I received in exchange for swapping in my old makeup:

Thanks to the entire team for such an informative afternoon.  If you’re going to put anything on your face, go natural and organic!
