At the recent BagTrends GREEN Arm Candy Party guests were treated to a delightful and eco-friendly gift bag loaded with bag-a-liciously green goodies. We hoped to save one as a give away, but the throngs kept coming … thank you to those who came to shop, sip and indulge with us. We hope you enjoy learning about these amazing products and we’ll see you at the next BagTrends Arm Candy Party in fall 2009.
BagTrends.com’s very own pink, non-paper bag made from environmentally sustainable trimming back of the Lokta Bush in Nepal under fair trade practices. The bag is super cute, reusable and compostable. To make your own bags (or journals or wedding invitations!) check out www.NepalesesPaper.com. Thank you to the team at www.GiveaGreenBag.com for working on this bag, as well.
Some guests walked away with a lovely “Friend’s of Al” tote from Hayden-Harnett. It’s a perfect market bag and a great way to avoid plastic and paper bags.
Affordability and quality is what we love from Elf Cosmetics; going green is a delightful added plus! After trying their Mineral Eyeshadow (100% mineral based with no parabens, no preservatives and no chemical dyes) we can’t image an excuse for using brands that still use potentially-dangerous chemicals. Eek!
Have you ever been out at a party and giving a whole new meaning to dancing up a sweat? Avoid stinky situations by carrying MBeze’s new Deodorettes. It’s a mini deodorant the size of your thumb that’s made from natural and organic ingredients. Busy, Hollywood moms have already gotten on this bandwagon.
We have gotten countless emails about Save Your World Oasis Fruit Shampoo gifted to guests at the show. For a limited time only, receive your very own 12oz bottle with every purchase from www.SHOPBagTrends.com.
The founder of Tikkun Olam and Give A Green Bag shared one of her findings from Nepal, colorful jute wallets and pouches in black, red, green or blue and all with hints of gold.
Eco-tools makes the most amazing and soft, not to mention environmentally-friendly beauty and bath tools. Their cleaning sponges made with Soybean Oil and 100% cotton is a nice treat against your skin after a long day at work.
Why keep spending money on bottled water, not to mention wasting plastic when you can tote around a stylish Earthlust bottle? Guests received a discount towards their very own stainless steel, custom designed bottle. Of course the artwork uses non-toxic paints.
Fill up your new Earthlust water bottle with Coconut Water from O.N.E., a natural juice company that has a great heart – no really, watch the cute video of the husband-wife owners located on the company website.
Whether it’s chilly winter air or over-exposed summer heat, keeping your lips moist is a constant battle. Yes To Carrots armed BagTrends GREEN Arm Candy Party guests with the perfect in-the-bag weapon for this fight - C Me Smile Lip Butter. This USDA Organic product is Paraben, Petroleum and Phthalate Free; and loaded with ultra-moisturizing Coconut and Olive Oils.
NatureOfBeauty.com, our new one-stop-shop for natural and organic beauty brands like Jane Iredale, suki, and Logona, offered $30 coupons for attendees. We love a discount...TY.
