Vegetarian Star

EOS Organic Lip Balm

Stars who attend the 2010 MTV Movie Awards on June 6 at the Gibson Amphitheatre can grab a swag bag containing EOS Organic Lip Balm to keep their kissables moist during the event and when they return home.

The balm is made from 95% organic ingredients, and like other EOS (Evolution of Smooth) products, contains no parabens, petrolatum or phthalate. There’s no gluten either, so you can lick, lick away at the three flavors of  pomegranate raspberry, vanilla bean and sweet mint if you’re avoiding that ingredient too.

Besides the lip balm, the MTV Movie Awards gift bags will contain EOS ultra-moisturizing shave cream and smooth sphere lip balm with SPF 15.

EOS products are not tested on animals.

Lea Michele has admitted to her two favorite guilty pleasures, and they’re both in the sweet tooth category.

Michele told Stylist:

“Dark chocolate and vegan cupcakes! My guilty pleasure used to be cheese but since I’ve become a vegan I’ve found that vegan desserts taste better than any regular dessert, so that’s what I go to immediately. I’m obsessed with Smart Water. I drink it all day long. I used to be a really big coffee drinker and then I just decided to cut down.”

Unfortunate that Michele is representing Dove Hair Care Products, because according to the Caring Consumer Database, Dove/Unilever is a company that still conducts animal testing.

Dannii Minogue says she’ll be applying Trilogy‘s Certified Organic Rose Hip Oil and The Everything Balm on her baby bump during pregnancy to keep her skin moist.

While rose hip oil is considered safe during pregnancy, not all oils, such as sage and rosemary are, so it’s always best to check with a medical professional and do your own research.

Trilogy is a cruelty-free company that does not test on animals, rather studies are “undertaken by happy human volunteers,” according to its website.

Trilogy Organic Rose Hip Oil

Most Trilogy products are vegan, with the exception of the Intensive Lip Treatment (contains Beeswax), Gentle Facial Exfoliant (contains Honey), Ultra Hydrating Cream (contains Honey), and Everything Balm (contains Honey).

The company has been involved with supporting numerous charitable organizations for both humans and animals, including The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty To Animals, World Society for the Protection of Animals and Choose Cruelty-Free Ltd. Australia.

Recently dismissed Survivor “Heroes Vs. Villains” contestant Amanda Kimmel may have worked as a hiking guide before finding her way in the jungle on the CBS reality TV series, but she won’t be returning to the woods.

“I’m really passionate about organic food and skin care and actually have been working on three organic fragrances called ‘Wild,'” Kimmel told TV Squad. “They’re coming out soon.”

Organic food must have been hard to come by on the island.

Maybe Rupert wasn’t the only one with a secret food stash.

Vanessa Williams was surprised to find out there were so many harmful ingredients in bath and beauty products.

Celebrity Baby Scoop quoted her as saying, “I’ve been a vegetarian and a devotee of holistic medicine for years. But nothing prepared me for the… harmful toxic chemicals that are in our cosmetics and shampoos… I was trying to get rid of everything in my house that had sodium lauryl sulfates, parabens, and other chemicals.”

You’ve made the decision to stop eating or eat less meat and are finally weening yourself off dairy.

You buy organic produce, nothing white goes in your stomach and think trans fat is a word so dirty, the FCC should ban it.

So why are you still using lotion with polyethylene glycol, otherwise known as PEG, a class of compounds in moisturizers that enhance the penetration of ingredients besides moisture–like heavy metals.

A trip to the Cosmetics Database and typing your favorite shampoo or brand may give you a valuable lesson and make you rethink what soap to buy next week.
