CELEBRATE EARTH DAY & Get a FREE Klorane Eco-Friendly Essentials Earth Day Kit!

Happy Earth Day: Let's Be Green & Keep Our Earth Beautiful!

In celebration of Earth Day 2013, one of my favorite French beauty companies, KLORANE is offering the NEW and elegant Eco-Friendly Essentials Earth Day Kit. Inside the soft reusable canvas bag (perfect for your purse, and surprisingly roomy!) is an awesome duo of environmentally conscious beauty swag. First off is the award winning ALLURE Best of Beauty winner non-aerosol eco-friendly KLORANE Gentle dry shampoo with oat milk, which is perhaps to date the best dry shampoo I've used. It doesn't leave white patches in your hair and leaves your hair exceptionally easy to style; I love the squeezy bottle that spays the powder exceedingly evenly. Then comes the next 100% Biodegradable Soothing make-up remover wipes with cornflower water, which I use on my pro makeup shoots and my incredibly sensitive skinned daughter loves.
Contest Rules: A $29.00 value, the Earth Day Kit is yours if you simply hashtag #ECONUY on Twitter, follow me @nuybeauty and @Klorane and just tell me how you're planning to make your beauty routine more eco-friendly.

For example, a sample tweet: "@nuybeauty I want to use only biodegradable wipes on my face and kid :-) #ECONUY". 

Then you're entered to win! Go Green and be beautiful!

Winner will be announced next week Monday. Good Luck!
  
And for every kit purchased, $1.00 will go to MillionTrees NYC, a PLANYC initiative with NYC Parks and New York Restoration Project, to plant a tree in New York City. “By supporting this important initiative, we are achieving perfect synergy between the legacy and continuing goals of Klorane and MillionTreesNYC,” says Jacqueline Flam Stokes, Vice President, Retail Marketing and Sales for Avène and Klorane.

*CONGRATS to NATASHA RAO of @Fashionalities for her great #ECONUY green resolution, and for winning the KLORANE Twitter contest! xo
