A lot of us want to "go green" but aren't sure where to start. Here's a little kick in the butt to get you going. We have scoured beauty shelves to find the top 5 best selling natural and organic makeup brands so that you can start to restock your supplies the natural way.

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, DuWop Cosmetics let us try out their BCA products (which you might have already seen here). They sent us a sample of their Limited Edition Liplingo Pink lip palette ($32) as well as their Limited Edition Pink Shimmer Brick ($18), both of which come in a sleeve bearing the names of women who have been affected by breast cancer.

First, let's talk lips. We are not generally big fans of lipstick -- we lean more toward the glosses. But, this lip palette is different -- the lipstick itself is a really natural shade of pink, plus, it's super moisturizing. Even better are the shimmery glosses that go over it. They feel fabulous and add just the right amount of dewiness and shimmer (not to mention flexibility) -- not too young or sparkly, just fun.

The Shimmer Brick also qualifies as fun -- it's really subtle, so you don't need to worry about looking like you're heading to a rave or anything. It works well as a highlighter on the cheek and brow, or the collarbone. Or, when used all over our face, it gave us a dewy look and helped to even out our skin tone.

You know we love to shop. This is a style site, after all. But we love shopping for other people just as much as shopping for ourselves -- maybe more. But do you know what our favorite is? Shopping for fabulous products that benefit a cause close to our hearts!

This is the third celeb favs feature, this time all about the makeup products that make celebrities go from average Joe's to Hollywood royalty in minutes. They need a little help to look so perfect too, people. Gosh.

While it's certain that you'll get them confiscated if you take them with you in a carry-on, it's still worthwhile to toss a few of these DuWop i gels into your checked luggage to refresh when you're traveling. The gel discs are shaped to perfectly fit the eye area, targetting their cool to reduce puffiness, and come in three "flavors" with different botanical extracts. Du Wop says that the i gels are "semi-disposable," which means you can use them four to six times if you always remember to place them back into their container, seal them up in a Ziploc bag, and keep them in the refrigerator (not the freezer).

The DuWop i gels are available online for $25 and at Nordstrom. But hey, if you save yourself the $25 bucks with cucumber slices and chamomile teabags, we won't tell.
