lypsyl intense protection review


I picked this up at rite aid this week 10-8 because I noticed it was on sale .99 cents rather than the original price of 3.99 ( i think ) it put me in mind of burts bees so i picked it up and was amazed i went back and got a backup cause it is amazing !!! my lips get verry dry in winter months and this will work amazing one of my best lip balms i have bought in a LONG time ( and this is my thoughts i bought this myself and not doing a review for company )





the ingredients are amazing , mineral oil , coconut oil , shea butter , and vitamins a&e , beeswax are the main ones !!
can we say the package is adorable !!! must admit i love packaging and this has a little bee you slide up to get the lip balm out ! too cute ha
this is what is looks like its a stick not a liquid ! and goes on smooth and last a long time even with drinking and eatting ! my lips feel so smooth even after the product is off !
this has a oval shape as i wasn't sure if i was going to like but i do i love this and would give it a 10 out of 10 ! and i don't give perfect scores too often ! but for .99 cents on top of that is great as well ! i love this so much i would purchase it at full price of 3.99 but if you want to grab one get it while its on sale at rite aid for under a dollar !!!!!
i would for sure recommend and re purchase ! thanks for readding

parabens what is it y and risks

safety of parabens as used in cosmetics. The following information is intended to answer questions on this subject.

What are parabens?


Parabens are the most widely used preservatives in cosmetic products. Chemically, parabens are esters of p-hydroxybenzoic acid. The most common parabens used in cosmetic products are methylparaben, propylparaben, and butylparaben. Typically, more than one paraben is used in a product, and they are often used in combination with other types of preservatives to provide preservation against a broad range of microorganisms. The use of mixtures of parabens allows the use of lower levels while increasing preservative activity.

Why are preservatives used in cosmetics?


Preservatives may be used in cosmetics to protect them against microbial growth, both to protect consumers and to maintain product integrity.

What kinds of products contain parabens?


They are used in a wide variety of cosmetics, as well as foods and drugs. Cosmetics that may contain parabens include makeup, moisturizers, hair care products, and shaving products, among others. Most major brands of deodorants and antiperspirants do not currently contain parabens.

Cosmetics sold on a retail basis to consumers are required by law to declare ingredients on the label. This is important information for consumers who want to determine whether a product contains an ingredient they wish to avoid. Parabens are usually easy to identify by name, such as methylparaben, propylparaben, butylparaben, or benzylparaben.

Does FDA regulate the use of preservatives in cosmetics?


The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) does not authorize FDA to approve cosmetic ingredients, with the exception of color additives that are not coal-tar hair dyes. In general, cosmetic manufacturers may use any ingredient they choose, except for a few ingredients that are prohibited by regulation. However, it is against the law to market a cosmetic in interstate commerce if it is adulterated. Under the FD&C Act, a cosmetic is adulterated if, among other reasons, it bears or contains any poisonous or deleterious substance which may render it injurious under the labeled conditions of use, or under customary or usual conditions of use.


Are there health risks associated with the use of parabens in cosmetics?
The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) reviewed the safety of methylparaben, propylparaben, and butylparaben in 1984 and concluded they were safe for use in cosmetic products at levels up to 25%. Typically parabens are used at levels ranging from 0.01 to 0.3%.

On November 14, 2003, the CIR began the process to reopen the safety assessments of methylparaben, ethylparaben, propylparaben, and butylparaben in order to offer interested parties an opportunity to submit new data for consideration. In September 2005, the CIR decided to re-open the safety assessment for parabens to request exposure estimates and a risk assessment for cosmetic uses. In December 2005, after considering the margins of safety for exposure to women and infants, the Panel determined that there was no need to change its original conclusion that parabens are safe as used in cosmetics. (The CIR is an industry-sponsored organization that reviews cosmetic ingredient safety and publishes its results in open, peer-reviewed literature. FDA participates in the CIR in a non-voting capacity.)

A study published in 2004 (Darbre, in the Journal of Applied Toxicology) detected parabens in breast tumors. The study also discussed this information in the context of the weak estrogen-like properties of parabens and the influence of estrogen on breast cancer. However, the study left several questions unanswered. For example, the study did not show that parabens cause cancer, or that they are harmful in any way, and the study did not look at possible paraben levels in normal tissue.

FDA is aware that estrogenic activity in the body is associated with certain forms of breast cancer. Although parabens can act similarly to estrogen, they have been shown to have much less estrogenic activity than the body’s naturally occurring estrogen. For example, a 1998 study (Routledge et al., in Toxicology and Applied Pharmacology) found that the most potent paraben tested in the study, butylparaben, showed from 10,000- to 100,000-fold less activity than naturally occurring estradiol (a form of estrogen). Further, parabens are used at very low levels in cosmetics. In a review of the estrogenic activity of parabens, (Golden et al., in Critical Reviews in Toxicology, 2005) the author concluded that based on maximum daily exposure estimates, it was implausible that parabens could increase the risk associated with exposure to estrogenic chemicals.

FDA believes that at the present time there is no reason for consumers to be concerned about the use of cosmetics containing parabens. However, the agency will continue to evaluate new data in this area. If FDA determines that a health hazard exists, the agency will advise the industry and the public, and will consider its legal options under the authority of the FD&C Act in protecting the health and welfare of consumers.


information above came from fda website !

just be aware of what we are buying and the risks involved ... nothing in my mind is going to be 100% good for you but there is alot of things in makeup something to think of when you put it on daily be blessed thanks for reading

loreal bare naturale mascara review



fail picture is upside down either way my review ....
i found this at the dollar tree 1 dollar didnt think about it just bought it not thinking ne thing but was truly impressed ... if you find it at dollar tree i would grab one or 2 of them for sure worth it ! this is still at some drug stores for 9 dollars so a dollar is a steal of a deal !






soft brush, the packaging and the addition of minerals and natural ingredients to the formula (while keeping it paraben-free).

(Parabens, chemicals often used to preserve makeup, have a long history of safe use in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, but they’ve grown increasingly controversial as different organizations link their use to cancer....)
here is a quick picture it does separate and look nice i like a more thicker mascara so i had to add alot of coats to get my lashes to look like this but hey for a dollar try it out ! its a nice every day no makeup look or if you take the time you can build this up as well not the best for thicker lashes

eos lotion review

i have seen alot of people raving about this lotion i love the shave cream and the eos lip balm so i gave in and bought this at right aid , when you got back so much in extra care bucks for buying eos ... first thought package is cute size of ur palm and easy for purse use puts me in mind of a computer mouse ! .. not alot of product tho for the money ! light smell , this is vegan and cruelty-free so thats always great !

its not like a cream lotion tho .. it takes awhile to work in and even after being in water it still seems to be there almost like water resistant lol ( best way i can put it ) it works well for me as i do have dry skin , this one is a light cucumber sent not over powering .. i would buy again not a bad lotion not the best but i do like it a lot !




if you have not tried the mint eos lip balm its a must and i also do love the shaving cream !
