I'm a huge EcoTools fan. I've been using their makeup brushes for the longest time. They have the softest, most luxurious brushes I've ever used on my face. I even got my family and friends hooked on them. They are made from eco-friendly and non animal cruelty materials and very affordable. By using/purchasing their products, you will not only look good, but you're helping the environment as well. Very cool! So, when I read on NouveauCheap that they were having a beauty event in Santa Monica Pier here in Los Angeles, I couldn't help but get excited.
WHO: EcoTools "Choose To Live Beautifully" campaign 2011

I was able to go to the beauty event at the Santa Monica Pier. They were giving away free EcoTools brushes and they were offering free makeovers. I was only there for a short period of time because I had to rush back to work. But I was able to meet the wonderful and friendly staff of EcoTools, took lots of photos and donated my used beauty products in return for a coupons and free cosmetic brush sample. Yay!
EcoTools' tent
They had a beautiful display of all their products: cosmetic brushes, bath and body care, bath tools and etc..
I donated my old makeup brushes (I'm not going to mention from what brand lol), half empty body wash, lotions, hand cream and moisturizer that I don't use anymore.
Gahhh..I was drooling over the brush set. I love their brushes!

My free sample. I already gave it some love and OmGahh...It's super duper soft!
Coupons!! Free EcoTools product
Even though I was only there for a short time, it was still a great experience. I encourage everyone to mail in your old beauty products to support the campaign. You're just going to throw it in the trash anyway, so might as well donate them, so they can be recycled and you can get your coupons towards a free EcoTools product ^_^
