Best Canadian Organic, Cruelty-Free Make-up?

I’m on the search for new make-up products as I become more and more sensitive to the regular stuff. My concerns regarding the ingredients in most cosmetics led me to Skin Deep Cosmetics Database a while ago, but it can be a little daunting if you’re not sure where to start.

So I wanted to ask…

What are the best Canadian organic, cruelty-free make-up companies?

I’d prefer a company that offers a range of products so that I could order most of what I need in one place. If I can buy it locally, that would be awesome. Otherwise, online shopping and delivery is needed.

Any suggestions?

Street Art – 05/09/12

I was out for a walk and came across some more street art. Figures, flowers, and a snail with a rocket-pack! Be sure to take a look (click on the gallery thumbnails to see the full pic).

* Note: The pics are mine. The street art is not. If you know who the artist is, be sure to let me know.

First, the sun rays were blue.

Today they were a flower:

I was at the park yesterday and took a few pictures of the sky (as I often do). When I pointed the camera at the sun, the rays appeared brilliantly blue.

Mismatched Socks and Rainbow Legwarmers (a.k.a. things that make me feel understood and loved)

These are my mismatched socks and rainbow legwarmers. The socks are meant to be mismatched – they came that way, along with a third completely different sock.

The socks and legwarmers are both unbelievably cool, in my opinion. They are perfectly me.

Right down to the fact that I technically hate socks – so these are ideal since I can just grab what I need on those rare occasions I have to wear them (like today when glass broke everywhere and I was terrified to step on a little unseen shard).
