With all the GREEN BUZZ these days its no wonder that affordable, eco-friendly makeup is being worn by celebrities like Uma Thurman, Heidi Klum, Alicia Silverstone, and Gwyneth Paltrow!

Uma uses Origins Smileage Plus liptint. It's 95% organic and 100% chemical free.

Heidi is a huge fan of the Boots Mediterranean Wonderbalm. This great little product is an all over moisturizer.

Gwyneth supports Pangea Organics Facial Cream. Aside from the cream itself being earth friendly, all packaging is made using a zero waste process. Best of all, you can soak the box in water, and then plant it to grow medicinal herbs.

Alicia Silverstone loves Kiss My Face Obsessively Natural Color 3way tint. It can be used on cheeks, lips and eyes.

Mariska Hargitay helped create PlantLove lipstick. Same deal as with the Pangea packaging, if you plant the PlantLove box, it will grow. Only this time instead of medicinal herbs you'll get wild flowers!

Apivita Aromatherapy revitalizing face mask is a big favorite of Maria's. She loves this product that has been popular in Greece for years because it contains lots of Vitamin C, amongst other natural ingredients, to help prevent premature aging.

BUUUUT... not all of these celeb's have stayed legit. Check out these stories that I found on Green daily:

Gwyneth Paltrow's stellar eco-friendly record has taken a beating in these past couple of days. First, she was a diva at an event to prevent horse slaughter, and now the beautiful blond actress is being taken to task for wearing fur in an ad for Tods.

The ads feature Gwynnie wearing fur lined booties and "draped in fox fur." Stella McCartney, eco-friendly, animal rights-friendly fashion designer and close pal of Gwyneth is sure to be upset about this. In fact, their entire friendship may even be in jeopardy.

Oh, and in case you're wondering why PETA isn't all over this, they are. A spokesperson for the organization said, "Apparently her beauty really is only skin deep. Gwyneth Paltrow won't be the apple of her daughter's eye if she continues to flaunt fur. It's a terrible example to set for a young child."

Ah, yes, typical PETA tact.

Kate Hudson's line of hair products, David Babaii for Wildaid, may be squeaky clean and eco-green, but the idea behind it all was not organic. She's being sued for misappropriation of trade secrets and fraud amongst other things after a company claims she stole their ingredient list.

The company, named 220 Laboratories, says they had entered into a spoke agreement with Kate and her stylist, David Babaii. She was going to do the eco-friendly hair products line for them.

So, they showed her the list of ingredients they planned on using, and supposedly Kate and her stylist took it an ran with it -- to another company.

The hair products in Kate's line have a main ingredient -- volcanic ash -- and 220 Laboratories claims that before Miss Hudson stole their idea they were the sole provider of volcanic ash in the U.S.
