Comments on: Confessions of a (Former) Lancome Junkie http://www.terminalverbosity.com/2008/04/07/confessions-of-a-former-lancome-junkie/ I write, therefore I am Wed, 08 Feb 2012 09:28:54 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Julie http://www.terminalverbosity.com/2008/04/07/confessions-of-a-former-lancome-junkie/comment-page-1/#comment-290 Julie Sat, 12 Apr 2008 14:47:04 +0000 http://chezartz.com/?p=229#comment-290 Thanks for all the comments, folks! There's so much out there to try. I've used a couple of JASON products (and they have signed the Compact), but they also still use petroleum-based fragrances & ingredients according to Skin Deep, which is something we're trying hard to avoid (and not succeeding in all cases, so that's not meant to be judgmental at all!!)...I really liked JASON's vitamin C toner when I was pregnant and a little more oily than my usual dry-skin self ;) Thanks for all the comments, folks!

The Sea Kelp conditioner is nice, but nothing can top Terax Crema. It's a rinse-out conditioner that leaves my otherwise damaged hair soooo silky. None of these are tested on animals.

I've been steadily working the chemical beauty supplies out of my life too. Shampoo's been quite the sticking point, since my hair is very long, but I love using jojoba oil just on the ends of my hair for a little extra softness. Great list.

I have been using Clinique, but I had my ups and downs with some spots now and then that have made me look at alternatives. A very interesting company is Fresh Line who makes all natural, no preservatives,fresh, home, aka shop made cosmetics. I began using their solid shampoo for dry skin two weeks ago and it's just a miracle. And I also love their soaps. I have taken photos of the shop which I am going to post soon with links, if you're interested to follow on this.

The Shampoo is the worst because it's in a bottle so small that it only lasts me about a month (and I only wash my hair every other day and sometimes every third day!). I want to buy big bulk bottles or, better yet, do a refillable soft-pack like Method does for its hand soap. I think I'll write some letters and request bulk sizing for some of these items. I know!!!

Although not from the makeup perspective so much as the personal care one, which you've covered. It kinda freaks me out to look at those ingredient lists on the un-natural stuff. I wonder how many cases of cancer could be linked to long term use of this stuff. My biggest complaint is this: why can't I get larger sized bottles of the organic stuff?
