New York nature and science beauty brand, Chantecaille, released their Fall 13' "Wild Horses" colour palette, donating a percentage of the product's sales to the Humane Society of the United States for preservation of the American wild horses. The palette marks continued trend-influential dedication to environmental causes for the company - joining "Coral Reefe", "Elephant", "Save The Sharks" and "Tiger In The Wild" palettes, each sending an awareness message through refillable, thematically embossed eye and cheek powders.
