Stylish and Sustainable Makeup Accessory Savers For Under £10

Published

We pretty much use makeup accessories everyday, whether it be a tweezer, wipes or sponges to name a few but have you ever thought about using reusable, cruelty free and recyclable ones?

A study by The Life Cycle Assessment Centre found that 8 million tonnes of plastic are dumped into our oceans every year. Unfortunately, the beauty industry is one of the worst offenders. Most products are packaged in nasty cellophane or non-recyclable containers which leads to consumer confusion as to what is able to be recycled.

The National Geographic found only 7% of plastic waste is currently repurposed. So what can you do as a consumer of beauty products? It’s all about being smarter with the choice of products and brands you are using.

Well we’ve done the thinking for you and found you some great products to consider and even better they are all £10 and under.

You may use tweezers to sculpt your brows before you start your makeup routine, well the So Eco Tweezer Set are the most gorgeous set of tweezers you ever did see. Not only do they look good but they are also good for the environment and animals.
