With prices starting as low as $4, and offerings ranging from complexion products to eye makeup, Canadian shoppers can now easily get their hands on a variety of Black Radiance’s best-sellers such as the Pressed Powders ($6), Perfect Tone Lip Glosses ($4), and True Complexion Contour Palettes ($9). Editor’s note: Black Radiance Beauty is also available in select Loblaws.

Did you know that in North America, more than three billion plastic shampoo and conditioner bottles are sent to landfill every year? Good Juju is here to help change that frightening stat. The local green beauty company officially launched this week, offering zero-waste shampoo and conditioner bars ($18 each) that last for 50 to 74 washes depending on your hair type. That’s the equivalent of around three plastic bottles. Made with all-natural and certified organic ingredients (think: coconut oil, shea butter, argan oil, aloe juice and charcoal), the assortment of bars, which address fine, dry and normal hair types as well as scalp concerns, are packaged in millboard cartons that are lined with a non-GMO corn foam that dissolves in tap water. What’s more, Good Juju also plans to roll out dissolvable laundry detergent strips later this year. Shop Good Juju here.
