S.W. Basics Cleanser

Brooklyn-based company S.W. Basics makes all their products from scratch, hipster style. This cleanser doesn't foam, because suds are for suckers. Instead, it's made from 100 percent organic vegetable glycerin, rosewater, and tea tree oil. And the packaging is oh-so-hipster. Everybody knows hipsters love apothecary bottles.

These are all nothing more than novelty products, just designed to sell but not actually help your skin. MAKE does not list any ingredients and have not responded to any requests for ingredient requests (personally), though in theory is good because its "charitable". As for the cleanser: Rosewater and tea tree oil are irritants for your face. So in theory you would be better off with the suds than those ingredients in the first place.

How would you go about purchasing the makeup palette featured in this article? I think it would be good to include more info re price and availability as otherwise whats the point really

I like how there was no prices.

I love exploring obscure make up brands. Sometimes they are cheaper and have a better quality than some others out there.

Funny article. I like the lipstick and the eye shadows. The cherry coke lip balm was my favorite.

I'm not interested in any of these products, but it was still an entertaining article.

not really interested in any of these.

I would try the Cherry Coke lip balm just for giggles. Living outside of but still close to Brooklyn, I think this is an amusing article and pretty much on target as far as the hipster vibe.
