Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Having finished chemo and radiation treatments I have become quite a 'post cancer hippie' with regards to all of my personal products. I don't want anything with a bunch of toxic ingredients. Once you really start looking at the ingredients list of products... well, it's more disturbing that I ever realized. I use the EWG skindeep database and try for only products that score a 2 or below, but have a few that are 3 or 4. ([...] I have been using the Juice Beauty tinted moisturiser and this refining finishing powder as part of my daily routine for about 6 months now and I couldn't be happier. I like that it's available at Ulta so I was able to figure out the exact color combination that was right for me, but now that I know I like to be able to just order here. (The Sand is a little too dark and the Ivory is a little too light, but using the sand moisturiser with the ivory finishing powder is perfect!) One tip for the moisturiser - if it's feeling heavy or looks streaky, you are using too much! I use a serum before the moisturiser and it's perfect! Their foundation and concealer are also great products, but I find I don't need that for daily use, just special occasions when I want to dress up a bit. After MUCH research, trial and error - the natural beauty products I have happily settled on that are 1)Low in toxic ingredients, 2)Still quality products that work well and 3) Readily available on Amazon: Burt's Bees Radiance Serum (Toxin score: 1) Juice Beauty Refining Finishing Powder (Toxin score: 2) Juice Beauty SPF 30 Tinted Mineral Moisturizer (Toxin score: 3) Larenim Blush (Toxin score: 2) SANTE All-Natural Eyeshadow Stick (Toxin score: 2, the blue, green, rose and pearl are all pearlescent, but the coffee, olive and white are more matte; the rose, white and pearl are good for highlighting.) Ecco Bella Mascara (Toxin score: 1) Lavilin Deodorant (Custom toxin score: ~3) Avalon Organics Vitamin C Cleansing Gel (Toxin Score 3) EO Everyone Soap Lavender and Aloe (Toxin Score: 3) Kiss My Face Whenever Shampoo and Conditioner (Toxin score: 2) CoverGirl Outlast All Day Lipcolor (Toxin score: 4, not bad and the performance is worth it to me.) I hope this is helpful for others with the same intention. 9/30 update - I decided to start a blog with all of this (and more as I go)- if you're interested it's at PostCancerHippie.com or facebook/postcancerhippie
