  Have you ever read the ingredients on a bottle of cheap nail polish? If you're lucky enough to have them listed (and are capable of reading the tiniest words you'll probably ever encounter), then you might be shocked by what you see. It wasn't until just before throwing out my old polishes and remover that I forced myself to look at the ingredients. One of the few recognizable ingredients on each bottle was formaldehyde resin. The remover was no better. Think acetone, parabens, and artificial colors that hardly seem necessary in...

Link to Made from Earth Lip Balm Reviews

As my product reviews have become more in depth, I've grown accustomed to reviewing a single product at a time. I find it's easier to be thorough this way. However, after trying my two new Made From Earth Lip Balms, I decided to review them together. They're so similar in performance, ingredients and price that it just made sense. Ingredients (provided at madefromearth.com)- Citrus Fresh Lip Balm- ", , , Organic Essential Oils of , ...

Link to Josie Maran Argan Pro Blend Concealer Review

I gave up on concealer for a couple of years (with brief relapses when I needed to cover up a sunburn) because I realized how pointless clogging my pores to make my skin look better seemed.  Lately, though, my eyes have been looking a little tired, and my not-so-noticeable dark circles have become slightly more noticeable. While I'm still against the idea of using concealer to hide pimples, I am all for looking well-rested. My solution?  Josie Maran Argan Blend Concealer!

  Ingredients (provided at sephora.com)- "Water, Rose Water, Glycerin, Quaternium-15, Carmine." I couldn't find this product in the , so I've linked to each ingredient above. The ingredient that concerns me most, or at all, is Quaternium-15. It has a high hazard score of 6 and acts as a formaldehyde releaser. Sheesh! I was initially drawn to this blush because it had so few ingredients (well, that and the exceptional performance). I guess fewer doesn't always mean better, and it...

  I purchased a bottle of Dr. Bronner's Lavender Coconut Hair Creme around last July, but I guess it got lost in the abyss that is my bathroom cabinet. I ended up giving it to at some point, and then it really wasn't a concern of mine. I'm not sure what reminded me of it, but here I am with a very late review.
