None of these things are bad for us…right? Wait a second…makeup?  How really weird that this word can have so many implications. I love it!   Many cosmetic companies just keep putting chemicals in their products…so there is bad makeup and good makeup.  I want to make (it) up to the whole world by letting you know there are good places to buy good, healthy and safe makeup. For real. Honest. Truly, and I am not making this up! Check out Affordable Mineral Makeup. The company that cares about you.  Really.

So although I have had bouts of madness about things before, my newest madness is getting the word out about the potentially harmful chemicals in makeup and baby products.  And believe me, it is not merely a mineral makeup madness.  It is a major, full blown lunacy…but…it is devoted, intense and desperate.  Everyone needs to watch The Story of Cosmetics video to understand more about this important issue.  Wow, help me get the word out.  Can you?

If there was a contest for the most moronic combination of words, I think this would be the winner.

Moderately hazardous. Hilarious! Well not hilarious… sad, disgraceful, disgusting, vile, horrible…well you get the idea.  I don’t mean to pick on Cosmetics Database.  They provide a very important service, and I applaud them, its just that the terminology really got to me.  But you could tell that, couldn’t you?  I have to go take a nap.   Arlene

As always, I welcome your comments here or on Affordable Mineral Makeup.  Reading my articles will hopefully give you some idea of how passionate I am about business and health and doing no harm to animals.

It is my intent to continue building on the great business model of Affordable Mineral Makeup and extend the business potential it represents.  For example, we are very excited to have Brett Bizick, our ‘makeup artist to the stars’ working with us to provide his tips and techniques…read more about his background on Affordable Mineral Makeup.

I believe we can all make a difference when we do the things we believe in and are passionate about. This is one of the  reasons I decided to purchase the Affordable Mineral Makeup Company…I am passionate about leveraging the hidden potential of a good business model…and even more so when the products contribute to your natural beauty in healthy ways…and no animals are harmed in the making of the products!

And I’m just as passionate about supporting the efforts to make cosmetics safer for us…it’s one of the reasons I chose to own this company…to provide healthy, natural mineral makeup to women of all ages for a safer and beautiful new you…now please watch The Story of Cosmetics video and join the cause.

Do they know that the makeup they buy is loaded with chemicals and toxins?  No, they don’t.  So we need to tell them.   Maybe the years and years of using these toxic makeups  have contributed to our suffering breast cancer and other not so pleasant ailments.  We need to be asking teens, no begging them, to stop putting toxins into their bodies.  How do we get the word out?  How do we protect them?  It is astonishingly vile that cosmetic companies actually use harmful ingredients.  It is so beyond the boundaries of doing the right thing.

Get your teenager to start using chemical free makeup.  Start right here…have them watch The Story of Cosmetics…it’s an important message that everyone should see.   Affordable Mineral Makeup is putting together a place on our site just for teenagers.  We will have an educated teen spokesperson to help spread the word to teenagers.  Enough of letting these big cosmetics companies sweet talk us while offering a poisoned apple. Enough. Enough. Enough.

The first thing I found out was that I was wrong.  And not just wrong, but wildly wrong and completely ignorant about being put in harm’s way by an industry that is self regulating and that absolutely, positively uses toxins in their products. With friends like these…

Do you know that the existing law, on the books since 1938, states that the FDA cannot even call for product recalls even in cases where products were found to contain illegal levels of toxins. I think you should read this last sentence again. All I can say is “you’ve got to be kidding me!”

Not that I don’t think this is horrendous, but worse yet, some of this toxic stuff is in baby products. Really. Learn more about safer cosmetics right here:  watch the just-released video The Story of Cosmetics right now on Affordable Mineral Makeup.

So now, Congress has in front of it a bill to insure that personal care products are free of harmful ingredients. Geez…wonder if it will pass.

Sure I am trying to get my company up to the next level of success, but truth be told, Affordable Mineral Makeup is free of toxins, chemicals and we do not use anything that is tested on animals.  It is the biggest no-brainer since we started using our brains. Stop, stop, stop using cosmetics that are loaded with toxins.  How dare any company care so little about the health and well being of us?  Check out your cosmetics at www.safecosmetics.org and stop helping these companies continue to harm us so they can make a buck.  We can do it.  Let’s.

Well, it is said you always remember your first, so I will remember this! I am delighted with the overwhelming response to the emails that were sent out about me. Thank you all so much for your encouragement, your comments and your orders. I had no idea that such a response would happen and I want to thank each and every one of you. I love being in a business where I have an actual hand in the beauty of my “fellow” females.  This blog will also be used by the wonderful makeup artist that is coming on board. He lives in Beverly Hills and I live in South Florida so we are pretty far apart.  We are making our plans for him to come here to spend some time with me so we can start our plan to be the best mineral makeup company. Period. We are psyched and rarin’ to go. With your help and the kind of support I see out there, how can we possibly miss?    With Warmest Regards, Arlene
