Mermaids, unicorns, centaurs and vegan vixens. We all live on the same mythical island. Not! I’m always amused when someone says, so you’re V-E-G-A-N, as they eye my latest stiletto, usually from the Cri de Coeur collection. In a way I feel a little cheated, I at least want to be able to levitate when I answer, “Yes, my child.” So, I’m working on it. Levitation that is.
All jokes aside, I’m not Birkenstock clad but stereotypes abound in our culture and Suite Ta Bu is all about disintegrating them! As a jolly, “green vegan”, I’m also a “style not fashion” addict, love glamour, need to work within a budget and I believe it’s all possible from sexy stilettos to a fire engine red pout, in planet friendly, sustainably packaged options. You’ve got to earn my dollar!
Often, referred to as a conscious consumer, proud of it and pleased to discover that I AM NOT ALONE! I created Suite Ta Bu, to answer the needs of many. We all want the best value, to know that the product has tested and comes personally recommended before we buy. The Suite is basically the “best of, “kind of like, Jay-Z’s greatest hits, in terms of my favorite but hard to find brands. Suite Ta Bu is global, partnered with international and local crafts people and designers to offer a unique selection which hopefully makes you feel like, you’ve discovered a well kept secret!
My favorite “Ta Bu” treat of the moment is our hand blended vegan mineral eye shadow by Shiro cosmetics. Mineral makeup is a great option for those of us seeking an alternative way to channel our inner goddess. Once past the Pokemon-inspired names, you’ll notice the “high color” factor which translates into dramatic, vixen inspired fantasy looks for any occasion. The highly pigmented colors are also perfect for Halloween! Did I mention we carry over 40 colors, per pot priced affordably at just $10?
Cleopatra was 2,000 years ahead of her time. Mineral makeup, once used by ancient Egyptians is no longer retro but very relevant. It’s free of preservatives which are known to cause skin allergies and minerals do not penetrate your skin and clog pores! Did you know that titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, which are often found in mineral makeup, are good physical sunscreens? Now you do! As the body’s largest organ, I think our skin deserves the purest ingredients that we can feed it. Thoughts?
Enter our Halloween Video Vixen Mineral Makeup challenge to win an entire set of all 40 colors. Details are on our Facebook page.
