Green Festival Expo 2016 Review: Hush + Dotti

There were so many amazing brands and companies that were in attendance at the 2016 Green Festival Expo in NYC. Here is a product review of one of cosmetic company, Hush + Dotti.


Hush + Dotti Review


Firstly…can I just talk about the name of this company?! Hush + Dotti is such a cute name!!!! Oh, how I love it!  I stopped by the Hush & Dotti’s vendor area when I saw all the pretty organic lipsticks and other cosmetics that were organized on the table.  Dina was very pleasant in answering questions that I had about the products.  I remember asking her if the one shade of red lipstick was the only one they carried.  It was nice but I desired a hue that was a bit brighter!  Instead, I opted for a coral colored lipstick, which looks fantastic on tanned/darker complexions.  The shade name is Dotti.  I also chose a lip gloss that is a glossy shade of burgundy in shade Wendi.  It’s pretty amazing!!  The packaging is really chic and minimal for cosmetics.  The lipsticks are in a standard black tube with white lettering.




​

I glanced over the foundations but did not see any shades for darker skin tones.  I asked Dina if they will be producing foundations for darker skin tones. Since they had none, she and her partner stated that they will carry more shades in the summer.


The last item from Hush + Dotti that was purchased is the Halo Body Balm.  This body moisturizer is extremely luscious AND so moisturizing.  Dina suggested that I apply Halo right after showering, while the skin is wet.  It is also made to be dually used as a hair treatment or moisturizer. It is chock full of very healthy, fortifying, and skin-loving ingredients such as coconut oil, tahitian gardenia, cupuacu butter, avocado oil and apricot kernel oil.  With just a pump, out comes a luscious blend of the thick, yet smoothing balm.  The gardenia Tahitian scent is really delightful and reminds me of a light smelling baby powder. This is definitely a five star product!


All of Hush and Dotti’s skincare and cosmetics are vegan, cruelty free, chemical free, paraben free and gluten free. Made in USA.


Organic Lipstick $24

Organic Lip Gloss $21

Halo Body Balm $38

FDA Bans First FD&C Dye! Which Will be Next?

Image
The FDA has moved to finally ban Red Dye No. 3 from use in food and drugs in America.  Red Dye No. 3 was first determined to be a cancer causing color additive almost 30 years ago.  Studies conducted using labs rats found that they became inflicted with the disease after consuming large amounts of Red dye No. 3.  Thirty years ago, the FDA officially banned Red Dye No. 3 from use in cosmetics but left the door open for it to be used as a color additive in food and prescription drugs.  By January 2027, the FDA has ordered that Red Dye No 3 must be removed from all food in the USA and by 2028--from all drugs. Food Manufacturers Shiver in their Boots Red Dye No. 3 has mostly been used in baked goods, sweets and candies.  It is used by prominent candy manufacturers such as Mars Inc (Skittles) and Just Born Quality Confections (Peeps).  Food Manufacturing giants such as Con Agra, McCormick, Heinz, General Mills and Pepsi Co will all have to find alternatives for ...

First Ethical Diamond Made from Agave

1800 Tequila is a spirit brand that has managed to create a diamond made from Mexican tequila. Their tequila is made in Tequila, Mexico using a traditional distillation process extracted from blue Weber agave. 1800 Tequila is known for its flavored tequilas such as coconut and a ñejo , an expression with rich butterscotch and vanilla notes. 1800 Tequila has diverged from their usual route of tequila production to enter the luxury jewelry scene. The unique 5.5 carat diamond was unveiled at this year’s Met Gala whose theme was centered around the Black Dandy expressionist form. The diamond was crafted into a brooch designed by Jonathan Raksha and was worn by actress and vocalist, Janelle Monae. There was no other deserving person to wear this masterpiece as Monae has been somewhat of a new school pioneer of Dandy expressionism.   The diamond was flanked in white gold within an inverted setting surrounded by smaller diamonds and also white sapphires. 1800 Tequila is always pushin...
