Good for your Face

I am always on the look out for stuff that make you look good - bonus if it is good for you and the earth, too. I've been wanting to learn more about make-up but I get completely overwhelmed whenever I go to any make-up place be it a department store, Ricky's, Sephora, etc. I definitely need to sit in a bookstore and read up - especially on make-up for Asians. Do we really need 4 different eye shadow colors? Seriously?

I did enjoy doing a bit of make-up shopping at Whole Foods. It's a smaller selection and the majority of products claims to have some goodness involved with it. Vegan! No animal testing! No parabens! No alcohol, sulfates, lead, mercury ("thimerosal"), formaldehyde! I picked up the super moisturizing gloss to your left and eye shadow in a stick. Honestly, the stick is a bit hard to use because I don't have a lot of eyelid to put it on so I need to find a better method but I do like both products. I also need to read the ingredients of my other stuff and throw out old and/ or toxic products. Update: the Ready to Wear Lash Extensions is AWESOME!!!! My lashes are longer and thicker without having to glue my eyes together trying to get false lashes on.
