Lilu Shimmer Veil

Ethique Nouveau now carries The Elixery's Lilu Shimmer Veil in addition to a selection of The Elixery's great vegan lipsticks.

When lead makeup artist Ashley Kilcher was planning the runway looks for Voltage: Fashion Amplified, she decided that there was a need for a sheer, face-brightening shimmer for both the runway and for everyday wear. So The Elixery mixed up a product to match Ashley's vision, a glittery dusting powder that can be used as a gorgeous, sparkling highlighter. Ashley said of this new product. "It's great for adding that spring glow."

We love it because you can dust it on and give yourself some sparkle without looking like you rolled in glitter. Brilliant!

The Cleanest Nail Polish on The Planet

While nail polish may seem like a harmless product, some cosmetics companies test on animals, and nail polish itself can contain animal products, the most common being fish scales, lanolin (oil from sheep skin), carmine (from beetles), and animal fat.

Suncoat Water-based Nail Polish vegan shades contain no animal products and are not tested on animals. Suncoat releases water vapor into the air when applied, not chemical fumes. Quick drying and long lasting, Suncoat nail polish is colored with mineral pigments, not FD&C dyes and is free of toluene, formaldehyde, and acetone/acetates.
