BareMinerals 100% Natural Lipgloss Review
Wednesday, July 7, 2010 at 12:00PM 
Bare Minerals natural lip gloss has permanently ruined me for any other lip gloss. Texture= perfect. Smooth, moisturizing, not too sticky. Smell= perfect. Heavenly almonds pervades, good enough to eat, but not in that overly sweet way that chocolate or cupcake scents make you want to vomit. The gloss lasts for hours but doesn't leave your lips all chapped and begging for more after the last bit has gone (although you will want to reapply just because it is so lovely!)
Somehow I have managed to amass 6 tubes of the stuff over the last 4 months (1 my mom gave me, the other 5 I purchased myself for £13 a pop). Ingredients in descending order are Oleic/Linoleic/Linolenic Polyglycerides, Castor Seed Oil, Brassica Campestris/Aleurites Fordi Oil Copolymer, Sesame Seed Oil, Flavor (Natural Vanilla), Carnauba Wax, Olive Oil, Sunflower Seed Oil, Beeswax, Candelilla Wax, Glyceryl Caprylate, Honeysuckle Flower Extract, Jojoba Seed Oil, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Wax, Punica Granatum Pomegranate Seed Oil, Silica, Cupuacu Seed Butter, Tocopherol.
The overall toxicity level scores 4 out of 10 on Environmental Working Group’s Skin Deep database. Most toxic ingredients are Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Wax and Flavor both of which are rated 4. The majority of ingredients are rated 0. It's important to keep the toxicity level down in lip glosses because of how easily they can be ingested (and therefore absorbed into the body). Bare Minerals natural lipgloss is a real winner.
Go forth and gloss yourself.
