Whole Foods Beauty Week + My Beauty Picks

I don’t know about you, but I can’t go inside a Whole Foods Market store without spending some time in the beauty aisles. Many of my skin and hair care staples have been discovered there, and I’m so honored to be the #CleanBeauty ambassador for Whole Foods Market Northern California this spring, in honor of their Beauty Week sale!

From March 21 to 27, all makeup, facial care, hair care, nail polish and makeup brushes will be 25% off. Mark your calendars now because you don’t want to miss it! The sale includes products from Alba, Dr. Hauschka, evanhealy, Mineral Fusion, MyChelle, Trilogy and more. It’s a great time to take advantage of some significant savings on some great natural beauty brands.

About Whole Foods’ and Natural Beauty

Being totally transparent, I didn’t start paying attention to what goes in my beauty products until the past six months. I was excited to learn that Whole Foods Market is as mindful of what goes on our bodies as much as what goes in them. Did you know that Whole Foods bans more than 100 ingredients found in conventional body care products, including phthalates, microbeads, triclosan, BHT, and BHA? You can read more about their standards here. To maintain its natural beauty promise, Whole Foods Market created its own standards for organic labeling on personal care products, as there are no mandatory government standards for “organic” claims in the body care industry. Knowledge is power, so I encourage you to read the labels on the products you have at home to see what’s in them. Some claims may surprise you.

My Beauty Picks

Because I’ve been exploring more natural beauty options, it’s a thrill to have my Beauty Picks featured on shelf talkers in Whole Foods Market stores across the Sacramento region. Yes, if you go to a store right now, you’ll see my face and the products I love! Please take a selfie with them, and then read about them! If you have any questions about my picks or any other products, you’ll be happy to know that beauty specialists are on hand to help you with anything you need. Ask about ingredients, allergens, and even their favorite products.

The Full list

MyChelle Clear Skin Spot Treatment

This is my go-to for blemishes that appear out of nowhere, and usually before I have a big event. 🙂 I apply a thin layer at night and in the morning, it’s dramatically reduced or gone!

Derma-E Cleansers

I have been using Derma-E cleansers for months. I love how they smell, feel and rinse off. For dry skin cycles, I love the Hydrating Cleanser with Hyaluronic Acid. Right now, I’m loving the Even Tone Brightening Cleanser to keep my skin radiant.

Juice Beauty Oil Free Moisturizer SPF 30

I have combination skin and I get really oily by the end of the day. This moisturizer controls my oil and also gives me great sun protection.

Acure Mega Moisture

Treat yourself (and your tresses) with Mega Moisture. It’s ultra-hydrating and gives my hair a nice sheen.

Weleda Almond Soothing Facial Cream

When my skin needs calming, I use this cream. It’s lightly scented and gentle, but rich enough to replenish and balance my skin.

Andalou Naturals Face Masks

These are great for home and for travel. I use at least one mask a week and keep them on hand to give to my girlfriends, too!

Pacifica Rainbow Crystals Liquid Mineral Strobe Cream

This highlighter gives me life! I like to use it on my face and on my decollete on special occasions.

Zuzu Luxe Lipgloss in Mischief

I’m a lipstick lady, but I love lip gloss for a fresh and pretty look in spring! Mischief is a color that looks good on all skin tones.

I am so excited for the Beauty Week sale, and even more excited for you to take advantage of the great deals to be had.

In addition to the sale period, on Friday, March 23, stores will offer limited edition beauty bags for $20/each. Curated by the Whole Foods Market beauty team, each bag contains favorites valued at over $100! In case you were wondering, yes, I plan to get my hands on one of them, and I’ll share on Instagram on Friday. I would love to see what you get, too! 🙂
