For more in rich pigments and long-wear reliability, try CARGO PlantLove’s Botanical Lipstick Line.

I simply adore this company . . . why? Because their lipsticks come in tubes made entirely out of corn—not plastic. Corn is a renewable and abundant resource, while plastic requires the use of petroleum, which as most of us know is running low these days. Each tube then comes in a box made of flower paper—that’s recycled paper that is embedded with real flower seeds. Simply moisten, plant, and wait for a bouquet of wild flowers to grow!

But let me tell you about the lipstick . . . smooth and silky, the innovative botanical formula is infused with organic meadowfoam seed oil as well as jojoba and shea butter. And you’ll be star-struck by the color options—literally! CARGO corralled ten a-list celebs to contribute their inspiration to the line. Each color is designed by and named after an a-list celeb:

-Evangeline: Evangeline Lily
-Lindsay: Lindsay Lohan
-Maria: Maria Menounos
-Mariska: Mariska Hargitay
-Sarah: Sarah Chalke
-Cherry Bliss: Kim Raver
-Grace and Faith: Angie Harmon
-Sam and Lola: Denise Richards

Best of all, CARGO is doing a promotion in which they’re donating two dollars from the sale of every shade to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Get yours here.
