I forgot the name of the creme shadow you liked so much and will go back and get it. I also purchased a neutral nail color (Make My Daylilly) which I loved so much I went and bought a super dark one yesterday. Along with your new HG NYC top coat that I also purchased recently, it lasted all week! Squeeeee! <br /><br />I also bought a lip butter in Sheer Snapdragon. I know you weren't overly impressed with Flower's lip butter, but I just love this particular color on me. I'll see how the staying power goes with it.<br /><br />And . . . I bought a lip slick (I think) in a light pink color. Doorhingeteeth recommended a dark brown for me on IG, but my Walmart didn't have it. I'll be on the lookout for it though... :)<br /><br />Love your reviews -- and your highlights on IG!!<br />Steph Stephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13596505226357187082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923437194678664102.post-90310516838789246792013-02-08T09:14:20.098-08:002013-02-08T09:14:20.098-08:00I bought the Awesome Blossom one last night...and ...I bought the Awesome Blossom one last night...and was so excited to get home to swatch!

And the whole paraben scandal is one of the most misunderstood issues in the beauty/health industry right now. There is no definitive proof that parabens do any of the things people have alleged, and most of the paranoia among the public started as a result of things like forwarded emails or sensationalist "news" pieces, not because of any scientific studies. Parabens not only occur naturally in a lot of foods, but are used as preservatives in a wide variety of preparations, including chemotherapy. So in the cases where parabens were found in breast cancer tissue (which was not in a controlled study about parabens), the patients more than likely were receiving chemotherapy which contained parabens, and that would have been infinitely more likely to deposit parabens in the breast tissue than the women's deoderant. I'm not saying that parabens are 100% benign, because really who the hell knows what the long term effects of anything are, but at this point in time, the science does not support the paranoia.Veronica Gorgeoishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08825474024025863182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923437194678664102.post-8808318542283929742013-02-04T19:44:32.631-08:002013-02-04T19:44:32.631-08:00They remind me a lot of the Chanel Illusion d'...They remind me a lot of the Chanel Illusion d'Ombre shadows.
