I am thrilled to introduce you to one of my favorite safer beauty finds, and share with you my Araza Holiday Paleo Makeup look! Araza Natural Beauty products are one of the primary THREE beauty companies I know and trust. When I launched my Fed & Fit Beauty column here on the blog, I promised to offer product suggestions that spanned the range of conventional to crunchy-Paleo finds. While you’re probably well aware of my love and personal use of the conventional-but-safe products produced by Beautycounter, I want to tell you that Araza is a great option for those who prefer an even more natural ingredient spread.
Their foundation is lovely and I adore the Coconut Lip Gloss. Their eye shadows (whether in a compact or loose) have nice colors + long wear and I really love their makeup brushes!
While I will continue to include Araza in my lineup of planned Fed & Fit Beauty posts where I’ll compare/contrast 3 “safer beauty” options for foundation, lip glosses, oils, etc., I felt compelled to first introduce this company by highlighting their Holiday Color Sets!
If you’re looking to try some 100% natural color for your eyes and lips, these sets are a fantastic choice. They include 4 eye colors, one lip gloss, and one eye shadow brush. Snag one now for the holidays or use them to stuff stockings of loved ones!

My favorite holiday tradition is going to church on Christmas Eve and stopping for Chinese food on the way home to eat while we watch A Christmas Story. Since going paleo 3 years ago I haven’t been able to eat conventional takeout Chinese food, but each year I make a paleo version of my old favorite dishes and am amazed at how delicious they are! It makes me thankful for all the work that paleo bloggers like you do to put out such delicious recipes!
For the makeup I’d go with Smoky Eye and Candy Apple.
Beautiful makeup! My favorite tradition is every Christmas Eve my whole family (immediate, aunts & uncles, even sometimes my sister’s boyfriend’s family) get dressed up and go out to dinner at our favorite Italian Restaurant where we know all of the staff. I live away from home now, but I go back to Long Island every year and we eat great food, drink wine, and laugh for hours on end in the cozy restaurant down the street.
One year we actually couldn’t go because my dad had the stomach flu, so we ordered all of the food for pickup instead. Turns out the restaurant had a huge kitchen fire and we only found out an hour before we were going to pick up the food and had to scramble to find another open place willing to take our order last minute! It was crazy and still the Christmas Eve we talk about the most 🙂
Eye: Reds & Coppers
Lip: Foxy
Favorite Christmas tradition: watching national lampoon Christmas vacation with my two sisters on Christmas Eve!!
Smokey eyeshadows and raspberry glaze lipgloss!
Merry Christmas!
One of my favorite Christmas traditions (because I’m a southern girl and can’t just pick one) is watching Miracle on 34th Street. Love both the old and new version ❤️❤️
I love the smokey eye and vintage lip gloss
Thank you for offering the giveaway. How fun!
I always like to find something special for our kids stockings. Something they wouldn’t get for themselves. Last year i gave personalized yeti tumblers to the girls and their spouses. The best was the one for one son-in-law with Sasquatch (he truly thinks it’s real. Ha!) on it. I think I get more joy out of giving than they do of receiving. Hope you have a very Merry Christmas.
My choices would be smokey eye and vintage lip gloss.
Thanks again

My favorite holiday tradition is to have Christmas crackers at the Christmas Day Dinner table. Before dinner you choose a family member or friend to pull the other end of the cracker with you until it pops! The contents always include a hat,joke and toy.
Smokey eye and Bliss are my favorites
My favorite holiday tradition is that a few of my cousins and I get together to decorate sugar cookies. It’s been a long time since I’ve eaten any, but the conversations and laughter that take place during the decorating is something I could never give up! I don’t always get to see that side of my family as often anymore, but I never miss a cookie party!
Smoky eye and candy apple 🙂
Have you ever reviewed fatco (formerly fat face) products? I know you said oil cleansing didn’t really work for you, but they’ve got a great line of products that are also paleo. I recently tried their myrraculous face oil and I think it’s wonderful for dry winter skin.
My favorite holiday tradition is decorating the Christmas tree. It is more special now since my two year old is in awe of the tree and she wanted to help decorate it. I also have to admit I love indulging in ALL of the holiday GF treats! All the colors look amazing but the smokehouse and lace caught my eye. The Bellini lip gloss would be my choice! <3
My favorite holiday tradition is celebrating Christmas Eve at my mothers house.
Thanks Cassy!!

Baking and decorating sugar cookies with my kidsI grew up doing this with my mom and now I get to make memories with my kiddos

My favorite Christmas tradition actually happens on Christmas Adam (the day before Christmas Eve), we all go to my Grandma’s for dinner and SANTA comes and brings all the grandkids our Christmas pajamas. Getting these pjs from Santa is one of my earliest Christmas memories and when it really feels like Christmas is starting. Now that I’m older it’s fun to watch my little cousins get excited to meet Santa and experience the seasonal magic that comes with feeling in the Christmas spirit.
Eyeshadow colors: smokey eye
Lip color: raspberry glaze
My favorite holiday tradition is going to a tree farm and cutting down a Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving! Then decorating it while watching a Christmas movie like elf or Home Alone!
I would choose the smoky eye and vintage lip gloss!
How fun Cassy! My fave holiday tradition is easy! Every year we drive about an hour to cut down our Xmas tree! It is the absolute best to spend time with our teenage kiddos and they turn back into 5 year olds! And a freshly cut tree makes the entire house smell like a tree forest! I love hearing about safer beauty products, I think I would like the Foxy lip gloss and the Lace & Echo sparkly eye shadows! Thanks Cassy!
Hi! Another great giveaway! Thank you!
OK, my favorite Holiday Tradition: Since mine and my husband’s birthdays are so close to the holidays (he’s in November and I’m in December), we buy an ornament for each other for Christmas. We also make it a bit of a competition to see who “picks” better! He wins for the best overall. One year he contacted the winery where we got engaged and had enough corks sent to make garland out of them. I meeeean!
Shadow Colors: this was a hard one! Probably toasted copper and fireside.
Gloss: Sugar Poppy
