I have new makeup

...and I'm excited about it.  It's been a LOOOONG time since I was excited about makeup and haven't worn much in years - for several reasons.  EVERYTHING I tried bothered my eyes.  They would burn and itch after an hour or so of wearing the makeup.  I think I tried about everything out there, certainly a healthy percentage of them anyway, and spent mega bucks over the years on things I've thrown away.

Well, since my breast cancer diagnosis, I've been doing more more research on things I probably should NOT use - specifically "parabens" - widely used preservatives which are found in almost all make ups, soaps, creams, etc. etc. While there's no definitive proof that parabens contribute to breast cancer, many researchers believe that they do - and I'm not willing to take the chance anymore.

So, when a friend (thanks Kamesha) posted on her facebook that CVS had their Organic Makeup on sale for 75% off - I decided to check into it.  First of all, at 75% off, I could afford to try it and not waste a fortune..... AND since the front of the package states:  "100% free of all harsh chemicals, parabens, and synthetic preservatives" it certainly warranted looking into.

Bought some on Saturday, wore it yesterday - ALL DAY YESTERDAY - with no eye problems - wonder if the parabens had anything to do with that??  Went back this morning and bought some more.

I do think I've finally found my makeup.  I think this has been around for awhile, it was just one of the ones I hadn't tried.  Of course, next time I buy it I'll probably have to pay full price, but my CVS Pharmacy still has it for 75% off if any of my readers are interested. 

Here's part of my stash ....

I got some liquid makeup, powder, blush, lip gloss, concealer (not in picture) and eye shadow (yes, even eye shadow which I haven't worn in years).

Oh, and btw, here's a link to the website for the Physicians Formula makeup.
