What's In My Plastic-Free Makeup Bag?

Because small swaps make a big difference.

Okay, let’s be real. Switching to a plastic-free beauty routine sounds a bit overwhelming, right? But trust me, it’s not as hard as it sounds — and you definitely don’t have to toss all your old stuff at once. You can take it one step at a time. It’s about making intentional swaps when your products run out, and honestly, it’s kind of fun. 🙌

So, let me give you a peek inside my makeup bag and show you what’s been keeping me glowing, while also keeping it low-waste. 💚✨

1. Elate Cosmetics Concealer & Foundation Tint

First up, we’ve got Elate Cosmetics. These guys are all about clean beauty, and I’m obsessed with their Concealer and Foundation Tint. It’s the perfect match for a fresh, natural base. Plus, the packaging is refillable, which means no waste. If you’re looking for a foundation that feels lightweight but still gives you that glow-up, this is your jam.

2. River Organics Brow Gel

If you’re a brow gel kinda person (like me), River Organics has you covered. This brow gel is a game-changer. It’s in a glass jar, which means no plastic, and it’s made with clean ingredients, so your brows will stay locked in place all day. Trust me, you’ll be brow goals with this one. 😏

3. Elate Cosmetics Refillable Mascara

Let’s talk about mascara. I know we all love a good lash moment, and the Elate Refillable Mascara is where it’s at. The metal tube is sleek, sustainable, and super easy to refill. Plus, the formula is long-lasting and gives you those voluminous lashes we all dream about. Bye, plastic wands. 👋

4. Hello Wink All Over Color Stick in Red Honey

This color stick by Hello Wink is seriously my favorite thing ever. The Red Honey shade is perfect for both your lips and cheeks, and it’s made with zero plastic packaging. It’s all about that easy, on-the-go vibe, and it’s packed with nourishing ingredients. Plus, it’s handmade with love. 💖

5. Hello Wink Lip Sugar

Exfoliating your lips is a must, and this Hello Wink Lip Sugar is perfect for that. It’s super gentle, smells divine, and leaves my lips feeling soft and hydrated. Oh, and did I mention it’s in a plastic-free container? 🙌

6. Hello Wink Lip Balm in Eucalyptus

If you’re a lip balm fanatic, you’re gonna love this eucalyptus one from Hello Wink. It’s hydrating, soothing, and smells like a little slice of fresh air. No plastic, just pure, natural goodness. Trust me, your lips will thank you.

7. EcoTools Makeup Brushes

When it comes to makeup tools, I’m all about EcoTools. Their brushes are made with bamboo handles and synthetic bristles, so they’re totally plastic-free. They’re super soft, durable, and do the job right. Plus, you can feel good knowing they’re eco-friendly.

8. Metal Eyelash Curler

This one’s a little throwback, but I love my metal eyelash curler. No plastic, just a solid metal tool that gives me the best lashes without the waste. It’s been with me for years, proving that sometimes quality > quantity, and metal lasts way longer than plastic. 🙌

Okay, I know what you’re thinking: How did you get your makeup bag to look so cute and plastic-free? And the answer is simple: it took time. Years, actually. But here’s the key: you don’t have to buy everything all at once.

I didn’t toss my old products in one go. I just used up what I had, and when I needed to replace something, I made the sustainable swap. It’s all about small changes over time. Start with one product, then build from there. Slowly but surely, your makeup bag can be 100% plastic-free, too. 🧡
