I love The Body Shop products!

I heard that Lush's products are not always natural. They use parabens in some of their products..you should be more careful when you choose natural and safe products...

a lot of the organic products are actually better for your skin anyway.

I love physicians formula...I always save the coupons and then buy them up when they are on sale...especially the bronzers...however I am sooooo disappointed in their mascaras...not worth the money! Also, what few lipsticks they have arent any good ....stick to Voluminous by L'oreal..I think it is the best out there!

I thought you were going to tell us 20 tips on beauty products. I was shocked to see your advertisement where you are generating money and talking favourably of such products. Badddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd. Very badddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd.

The only one I didn't agree with was the Iredale lip gloss, I tried it and didn't care for it. The Lush soap is good, but be careful some of their soap has SLS in them. the best facial soap that I have ever tried is 100% organic and natural...Buttermilk, Oatmeal

Interesting info, thank you.

You should've included hydroquinone, which is used in some whitening lotions or serums. The way hydroquinone makes skin whiter is literally TOXIC!

I love the interest in everything green but what about nailpolish???? Nailpolish shares ingrediants with automotive paint.Most ingrediants in nailpolish are toxic. Special shipping rules must be followed when it is shipped either on the road or through the mail.Any polish can claim non-toxicity or low toxicity, even if it still has that lovely polish stink, which indicates harmfull chemicals are present in it.When looking for non-toxic polish one must be careful and look for those which are waterbased, odorless, and phalate free as well as being toloune and DBP free. After being on chemo I developed a horrible allergy to polish ingrediants, so severe that my last reaction put me in hospital for 5 days.This was 3 years ago, have found 2 excallant brands which are totally non-toxic they are GoNatural nail polish and Piggy Paint.They are affordable and harmless. If only more companies would follow their lead. Think we should insist on nail polish being made non-toxic to federal non-toxic requirements.
