Backstage: The Best New Beauty Product
Attention models/socialites/celebrities: The bottle of water you carry with you always—that thing to which you attribute all your beauty, in lieu of revealing the concealers/mascaras/conditioners/foundations you actually use—is now new and improved. Aveda is leading the charge, supplying designers, models, makeup artists, hairstylists, and other backstage fabulists at the shows with metal Sigg bottles of tap water. Besides sidestepping the mind-bending waste conventional bottled water entails, you also sidestep the nasty chemicals (phthalates, which disrupt the endocrine system, a.k.a. your hormones) that the plastic container releases into the water. Sigg bottles, as Aveda has smartly recognized, are a sleek, chic, much better alternative.
*They are also huge in my house: The people you really, really don't want consuming all those hormone disrupters are kids, and the Siggs come in a metallic blue and a metallic red that are the envy of all on the playground.
*Is a bottle of water technically a beauty product? Ask a model/socialite/celeb. —Jean Godfrey-June, beauty director
I picked up a really great silver and orange Sigg bottle at Whole Foods last August. I debated for a while as $18 seemed a lot of money for a water bottle. But it's paid for itself many times over already! Not to mention the safety of mind knowing I'm not drinking all the chemicals in the plastic bottles and keeping my share out of the waste system. I highly recommend everyone use a Sigg bottle--let it become the next big trend, but one with staying power!
