Foot Petals Tip Toes Saved My Soles
Foot Petals Tip Toes are a 'sole' saver. They have saved my feet during a girls weekend in Vegas, NY Fashion Week and several weddings! They help to keep your foot from sliding forward, and provide a nice cushion for the ball of your foot. The protection and cushion they provide is unreal. They are thick enough to make a noticeable difference, but thin enough so they don't change the way your shoes fit.
They come in a variety of colors, so you can match the inside of your shoe. If you're feeling wild, you can also get them in animal prints. I've tried out a few other items from Foot Petals, including Heavenly Heelz, which helps to keep your heels from sliding out of your shoes. It seems that my shoes fit differently depending on the weather. When it's hot, my feet swell a bit and my shoes fit a bit more snug. In the winter, shoes tend to want to slide right off, but alas, Heavenly Heelz saves the day.It's not just me that loves 'em, Foot Petals won an Allure Best of Beauty award. My advice: if you are hesitant to wear heels because you are afraid that your feet will hurt for the night, give Foot Petals a try. Your soles will thank you :)

Cargo Cosmetics PlantLove
CARGO Founder and President Hana Zalzal comments, “The timing couldn’t be better to partner with such an inventive retailer. Beauty 360’s goal of creating a convenient way to shop for all beauty products is entirely consistent with our philosophy of making make-up better, smarter and easier for the consumer. Together, CARGO and Beauty 360™ will offer high-quality, professional-grade cosmetics that are accessible to every woman. We are excited to expand CARGO’s relationship with CVS Beauty 360 as our newest PlantLove™ retail partner.”
Always innovating, CARGO Cosmetics introduced PlantLove™ by creating the first-ever environmentally friendly lipstick. Even the packaging, a compostable tube made entirely from corn, is “green.” In response to the overwhelming success of the lipstick, CARGO launched a full PlantLove™ Collection, the only prestige brand to be given ECOCERT™, the highest eco-distinction. This global designation ensures that all product, process and packaging meet the strictest standards for natural, organic and environmentally friendly content.
To further reduce our eco-footprint, PlantLove™’s compostable packaging is made of Polylactic Acid (PLA), a polymer made from corn – a renewable and abundant resource. What’s more, PLA production emits less greenhouse gas than traditional plastics. Even PlantLove™ boxes are made from 100% post-consumer waste paperboard. The mill supplying this paperboard manufactures under carbon-neutral conditions, using 100% renewable energy. The PlantLove™ Collection is truly as good as it gets.
Hana Zalzal added “For us, PlantLove™ has always been more than a product, it’s a movement. As Mahatma Ghandi said, ‘Be the change you want to see in the world.’ We believe that small actions taken by large groups can change this world.”
CARGO’s 100% natural PlantLove™ Collection will be available in CVS Beauty 360 stores and on www.beauty360.com beginning on April 8, and is eco-friendly in product, process and packaging! PlantLove™ is also the only prestige brand to be labeled ECOCERT™, the highest eco-distinction.
