BEAUTY BUZZ

Kim Roxie's cosmetic collection, LAMIK Beauty, offers women healthy, environmentally friendly makeup manufactured in the heart of the Lone Star State. Each product in the extensive line contains natural ingredients you can actually decipher on a label (think water, aloe, and green tea), skimps on potentially harmful additives such as talc and parabens, and is packaged in recycled paper. To top it off, LAMIK specializes in universally flattering hues that complement women of all skin tones. "With LAMIK, beauty is revealed, not applied," Kim says. Look for her line at cosmetic boutiques and select Macy's stores.

A woman’s beauty shouldn’t have to sacrifice her health. For Kim Roxie, she knows first-hand just how much weight this statement carries after witnessing a close friend develop lung deficiency due to the poly(iso)butene found in lip gloss. As a result of her friend’s diagnosis, Roxie knew she had to create a line that was healthy for the skin and body.

While mineral makeup is popular because it does not block the pores nor cause the face to feel as if there is a heavy ‘mask’ on the skin, it is generally not made with organic materials. With the current movement to be ‘green’ and environmentally conscious in all aspects of life, Roxie took it upon herself to create what is known as the first eco-chic cosmetics brand. In 2004 at the age of 21, Roxie launched LAMIK Beauty, a line that features products with all natural ingredients packaged in recyclable containers. “Eco-chic make-up means ecofriendly, glamorous and natural,” explains Roxie, who opened the first LAMIK store in Houston, TX. Because of LAMIK, it is now easier for people to make a healthier choice when it comes to their make-up options because the line’s ingredients consist of water, vitamins E and C, minerals derived from the earth, Aloe Vera and green tea, not harsh and harmful ingredients like talc, lead, fragrance and poly(iso)butene.
