Makeup
Elate Cosmetics
This makeup company has everything you could need for a great New Years look. All of their ingredients are non-toxic and sustainable. But better yet, their products are primarily packaged in reusable bamboo or glass containers. So when you are running out of a product, you can simply purchase the contents of the bamboo compact for a reduced price and insert it into your old container. This reduces waste and helps your wallet.
