Happy Thanksgiving!
I've compiled a list of the less toxic cosmetics brands/products for you, which I'll put up this weekend.
Also coming up is a tutorial on contouring your cheeks with two blushes.
Today, I let myself out of work a little earlier (6pm) than usual (8pm), and got up the courage to check out all the major drugstore cosmetics brands: L'Oréal, Maybelline, Rimmel, Max Factor, etc.
I gotta say the experience was overwhelming, because I couldn't tell the difference from one brand to anther. Not only was there no salesperson assisting you with your choice, all the ingredients labels were well hidden, in a point-2 font. Needless to say most products were full of lanolin, parabens, dimethicone and other good stuff. It's scary how widely distributed these major brands are.
The search for ethical and safe makeup continues...

Hello Dear Brilliant Cheryl!
You have got me in a skincare tizzy! lol
I deceided that makeup is not good without a bloody good skin and so I am investing instead on some bloody good skin care!
Can I hassle you for some advice??
I have found some interesting brands:
Alpha H - the Balancing Moisturiser looks ace as does their skin brighteners
Icy Beauty - The secret of Longevity caught my eye
Lierac - Firming night creme
I am a cheeky brat for dumping this on you - but I would love to hear what you think about these brands?
S.O. whats that?--I got this dumb face too. lol
Mine was just like yours.... I miss the fam in Seattle. I am thinking to fly in this Dec for Christmas and New Years.
