Small Changes Add Up
If 10,000 Chicago Biters buy natural cosmetics instead of synthetics for a year, we’ll contribute $6.5 million to cosmetics companies that care about the planet, not just profits.

Mining the beauty trenches for precious minerals? (For your face, that is.) Stop the drill and plow through Alessandra Cosmetics’ new line of mineral makeup, debuting with a party next week at Exhale spa. Created by local brow goddess Alessandra Rosa (who studied under Beverly Hills tweezer-to-the-stars Anastacia Soare), these brow, eye, lip, and face products are free of oil, chems, dyes, talc, and alcohol, making them tops for people with sensitive skin, while the fine mineral particles minimize lines. Must trys: Alessandra’s loose powder in a pump brush (featured in this month’s Lucky, see photo) and her supersoft to-the-touch Bashful Blush. Plus, the whole kit is water-resistant and loaded with SPF 20, especially handy in summer. Rock on.

Wanna Try?
Alessandra Cosmetics; available at Exhale, 945 N. State St. b/t Oak and Walton Sts. (312-753-6500). Debut party with one-on-one consultations, discounts, and other goodies, May 28, 5-8 p.m. Pump Loose Minerals in Sole, $45; Bashful Blush, $28.
