I couldn't believe it when I found out that the majority of my eye shadows, mascara, blush, and lipsticks contained gluten in them. I realized this after contacting the companies of the makeup I currently owned. I decided to search for a company that had a gf cosmetic line so that I wouldn't have to contact every company about their products. I discovered that Bare Minerals, Afterglow Cosmetics, and Everyday Minerals all had a gf makeup line. After looking at all 3, I decided that I liked the ingredients list in Everyday Minerals more, it was more affordable, and they had a great starters kit and free sample kit. Not only does it look natural, but it feels great and stays on all day.
That's really interesting that you liked Everyday Minerals more. I tried Bare Escentuals first and it made me itch. I later found out that the Bismuth Oxychloride in the BE is what caused the itching. I also tried Everyday minerals and just didn't like the way it made me look plus - they don't have a lot of GF makeup that I absolutely need like mascara (duh) lipstick and lipgloss. Afterglow has it all, it is ALL gluten free. Plus the founder has a personal connection to women with celiac disease so I just trust the products more and I like the fact that they are made with certified organic ingredients (Every day and BE are not). I love, love the foundation and I hear that they are coming out with new GF organic lip glosses soon.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info- that's really good to know. I originally wanted to try Afterglow the most, but with living out of the country and with the dollar so low it was a lot more expensive for me to order from them and get it shipped to Korea. I definitely plan on purchasing Afterglow the next time I'm in the States. I too, was disappointed that Everyday Minerals doesn't have mascara or lipgloss. When I contacted them about it they said that they haven't yet found the right ingredients to perfect it.
