Beauty is ocean deep. High-end cosmetics line Chantecaille has made a solid commitment to nature preservation. Two of its latest makeup palettes — containing powders for base highlighter, eye colour, eye liner and cheek — benefit ocean life. Five percent of all proceeds from the purchase of the Save The Sharks Palette ($83) supports ocean conservation group Bloom Association, which is dedicated to protecting sharks and implementing a global ban on finning. The purchase of The Coral Reefs Palette ($79) helps the Marine Conservation Institute win protection for 10 percent of the world’s oceans by 2020. The paraben-free refillable palettes are for sale in the U.S. at Chantecaille.com, Neiman Marcus and Barneys New York locations and in Canada at Holt Renfrew. There are also palettes to save tigers and elephants — K.B.
