Whoever said you had to be cruel to be kind obviously hasn’t met actress-turned-author Alicia Silverstone. Silverstone, a vocal vegan advocate, has designed a second line of planet-friendly—and did we mention affordable?—cosmetics bags and brushes for EcoTools, a Illinois purveyor of beauty accessories. Launching this spring, the sophomore EcoTools by Alicia Silverstone collection will feature a “gorgeous new look, revised shapes, and revamped favorites,” along with illustrations of Silverstone’s favorite flowers.

THE KIND LIFE

Clad in a palette of lavender and mint green, the bags present a blend of embroidery and sumptuous prints in both hemp and recycled PET. “After the success of the first launch, I am so proud to partner with EcoTools for another collection of beautiful and eco-conscious cosmetics bags,” Silverstone says. “Together, we demonstrate it’s never been easier to get gorgeous while giving back to the earth.”

In addition to a retooled Cosmetics Bag ($8.99), Train Case ($14.99), and six-piece Brush Set and Bag ($14.99) from the previous collection, the new lineup includes three new styles. A compact Deluxe Pencil Case ($7.99) offers a removable interior case, three interior storage pockets, and room for five EcoTools brushes, while the tri-fold Hanging Valet ($15.99) fastens to your bathroom door to conserve counter space.

A four-piece Backstage Vanity Brush Set ($12.99), comprising a Finishing Brush, an Angled Eyeshadow Brush, and a Lash and Brow Groomer, features materials such as bamboo, recycled plastic, steel, soybean oil, and crushed walnuts.

Kind to be kind? That’s a mantra we can get down with.
