OT: makeup

So, I've been interested in homemade makeup lately questioning everything in our environment. I often wondered if my makeup and specifically lipstick could be causing harmful chemicals to enter my body. Well, there's a new homemade makeup store nearby which got me interested in looking up recipes online for lipstick. One recipe lists different spices or beet juice that can be used for coloring the homemade lipstick. Guess what? Turmeric is listed! Ladies, do the benefits from turmeric never end?! Lol! Anti-inflammatory, anti-depressant AND lipstick coloring???! Of course, it would need to be mixed with deeper colors to avoid golden-colored lips I'm assuming.

I'm interested in how it might end up tasting? Not that you are intentionally going to be eating your lipstick, haha.

I buy a lot of natural stuff but haven't made my own. Sounds like fun... Vapour organics vapourbeauty.com makes nice products without cruelty. I don't really have time to make anything myself. Wish I did.

Lush is great, but you still should read the ingredients carefully... They're not perfect. I have a love/hate with them but they're better than most.

Coconut oil and some coloring ( natural) makes a great "lipstick" although I think of it more like lip balm.
