Even though Earth Day (April 22) has passed, it definitely still has me thinking about all the different ways I can become a little more eco-friendly. I figured since I'm such a beauty buff to start by going green with my lipsticks. Why?

I rounded up some of the best organic lipsticks in the market that will keep your pout looking pretty while you do your part to protect the planet. It's time to go green chicas!
