Is Your Makeup Making You Fat? Three Toxic Beauty Ingredients to Avoid

A new study has found that “chemical calories” present in beauty products such as shampoo, body lotions and cosmetics can disrupt the body’s natural weight control system.

 

Did you know that your skin is your largest organ?

Studies show that in 26 seconds all the chemicals in your personal care products (makeup) go through your entire bloodstream.

From what I understand; fat is created to protect our body from toxins & impurities creating unwanted weight.

The European Union bans more than 1,400 chemicals in personal care products.  The United States bans less than 10.

THREE TOXIC BEAUTY INGREDIENTS TO AVOID

Parabens ( a widely used preservative)

Fragrance

Formaldehyde (preservative)

What’s in your products?

Be sure to check out the EWG’s Skin Deep database to research toxic chemicals that could be in your cosmetic and personal care products.

Educate yourself and do your research before you buy.  You don’t have to compromise your health for your beauty or your beauty for your health.

Did you know that women who wear makeup EARN more than women who don’t?

Seven Lipstick Shades for Every Woman’s Mood

Give a woman the right lipstick and she can conquer the world” – Marilyn Monroe

Don’t you agree?

A great lipstick color can boost your confidence and uplift your mood.  Makeup, like fashion, is an outlet of self expression – and that’s one of the best things I love about it!

I usually pick my lipstick color depending on my mood.

Here are seven lipstick shades that can fit every woman’s mood and look:

1)Red 

It is a makeup essential to own a gorgeous red lipstick.  If you want to feel confident, red is the color for you.   (Marilyn)

2)Nude

I wear a nude lip when I’m sporting smokey eyes, or when I want to downplay my makeup yet still look fresh.  A nude lip color can lean on the pink, coral or brown side.  Find one that compliments your skin tone, not too light that will make you look as pale as a ghost.  (Pure)

3)Burgandy

Yes, everyone needs a good deep red lipstick but when you want to feel sophisticated, try this color.  It is perfect when paired with sleek hair and winged liner.  (Pomegranate)

4)Pink

If you feel dainty and fresh, go for a pink color that matches your skin tone.  Pink has a way of making us look youthful and healthy, especially when paired with matching pink blush.  (Blissful)

5)Coral

When the sun is out and its warm rays glimmer outdoors, coral is the way to go.  It totally makes sense to match your lippie to the weather!  (Spontaneous)

6)Neon Pink

When you are feeling extra happy and cheerful, swipe on some bright neon pink lipstick!  You’ll feel as bright as sunshine so don’t be surprised if everyone you meet flashes you a smile!  (Fierce)

7)Deep Plum

Tired of making a statement with red lipstick?  If you are feeling rebellious, go for a deep plum color.  It is eye catching, yet still fun and pretty to wear!  It is a very versatile color as it can take you from day to night.  (First Avenue)

Wearing lipstick is an amazing mood enhancer.

Once you find the perfect shade, you’ll love it forever for the way it brightens your face and makes you look amazing.
