ella+mila – High End, Eco-friendly Beauty Products

ella+mila provided samples of eco-friendly beauty products for the purpose of this post.  No compensation was received and any opinions stated are mine alone.

With a passion for color and dedication to healthy beauty, the founders of ella+mila strive to provide fashion-forward beauty products without compromise.

What ella+mila are best known for are their lacquer nail polishes.  In addition to being chip-resistant, quick-dry and high-shine, ella+mila nail colors contain no Toluene, Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP), Formaldehyde, Formaldehyde Resin, Triphenyl Phosphate (TPHP), Xylene or Camphor, making it a seven chemical-free product. But the advantages don’t end there! ella+mila polishes are also PeTA-certified.  ella+mila releases a new collection of lacquer every couple months, promising on-trend high-fashion shades and prompting many “FINALLY! The color I’ve been looking for!”

During the day I’ve loved rocking ella+mila’s Tea Rose from their mommy&me collection.  The light, airy color brightens up any day.

Y’all these products make great additions to themed gift packages for the ladies in your life.  I took some of the nail polishes and whipped up some crafty things to show you how you can include them in gifts.  Mugs, tags, signs!  If you have a die cutting machine like a Silhouette or Cricut these are inexpensive and easy to make for your friends and family.  If you don’t, alphabet stickers or pre-made store bought mugs and signs work too!

These colors are Champagne Pop and Rose-ay All Day.

Or how about this fun tag with the In Line For Wine nail polish!

Mugs are always a great gift and you can’t go wrong if you match them with nail lacquer from ella+mila.  The Tea Rose or the Cup o Latte, these two colors you could do so much with to pair as a themed gift.

ella+mila’s soy-based nail polish remover is designed to effectively remove all natural nail polishes. Ingredients include Vitamins A, C & E, as well as Lavender Essential Oil, all of which promote healthy and moisturized nails. This product does not contain acetone or harsh acetates, which will dry out your skin and damage the nail and cuticles.

Smooth Squad Cream.  Lavender fans, this one’s for you: it’s scent is ah-mazing and it also leaves your skin silky soft.  This vegan product and does not contain: Paraben, Soy, Dairy, Wheat or Gluten.  It uses shea butter and a blend of promising oils.  Non-greasy and hydrating FTW!  Oh, and it’s not tested on animals.

The Blushing Goddess Palette is a warm collection of richness.  From a tea rose to a dark mauve, you’ll make them all blush with this palette 😉  These mixable shades will give you plenty to work with to change your look from day to night.  For an easy go-to look for every soirée, sweep the Wanderer shadow and blend it into a triangle shape outward, parallel to the end of your brow.  Then apply the Rose onto the center of your lid and up by your brow bone.  For some definition, brush Mauve into the outer V of the triangle and then blend.

Lip Color.  I’ve been around the lipstick/lip balm/lip gloss block and ella+mila’s lip colors are hands down the best. They are next-level chic.  They have 25+ versatile shades and creamy, glossy and velvet matte formulas for a variety of looks.  Full coverage and moisturizing, these lip colors do not contain: Paraben, Phthalates, Lanolin & Gluten.

If you ♥︎ a glossy finish… try the Vibes for a pretty sheen.  I you ♥︎ neutrals… the velvet matte line has a natural lip hue called A La Mode.  And if you ♥︎ brights…go may go mad for the velvet matte You Red My Mind.
