Nars Cream Eyeshadow

LILI MARLENE MAY BE THE TOP EYESHADOW (GRAY) IN ALLURE’S BEST OF BEAUTY 2011, BUT IT'S NOT VERY HEALTHY!

This product gets a EWG hazard rating of 9 out of 10! Did you know that METHYLPARABEN, PROPYLPARABEN, and BUTYLPARABEN can cause: Endocrine disruption, Allergies/immunotoxicity, Organ system toxicity (non-reproductive), Biochemical or cellular level changes, Developmental/reproductive toxicity, Allergies/immunotoxicity, Ecotoxicology, and Biochemical or cellular level changes??? And LECITHIN can cause: Allergies/immunotoxicity, Multiple, additive exposure sources, Enhanced skin absorption, Contamination concerns (NITROSAMINES-in the presence of nitrosating agents)? Pretty scary in a product that you apply so close to your brain, and that can easily migrate into eyes and enter the bloodstream.

Benefit Creaseless Cream Eyeshadow/Liner

BIRTHDAY SUIT IS THE TOP EYESHADOW (BEIGE) IN ALLURE’S BEST OF BEAUTY 2011, AND IT'S ONE OF THE HEALTHIEST CREAM SHADOWS I HAVE FOUND!!

This product gets a EWG hazard rating of 3 out of 10! I really like this product. I have it in Birthday Suit and RSVP. Birthday Suit is a highly pigmented, shimmery taupe neutral, and RSVP is more of a pinkish champagne. Both are neutral enough that I consider them ideal for everyday wear. They are creaseless, fade-proof, smudge-proof, buildable and blendable. A little goes a long way, and doesn't require primer. Each pot will last a long time, as long as you remember to screw the lid back on tightly so it doesn't dry out. A great value for the price.
