Dang. Thanks for sharing. It’s becoming more and more difficult to know where it is safe to spend our money without inadvertently supporting something we don’t want to support. You don’t happen to have any recommendations for non-toxic makeup elsewhere, do you?

It really is getting difficult. I have settled on Crunchi for now. Took me a while to find something that was as kind to my skin and lovely as BC. They are similar in structure to BC and I do like the makeup. Very nice. Smaller selection because they are a much smaller company, but I am not fancy. This is my link if you ever want to poke around: crunchi.com/melodylyons

Interesting! And good to know. I am not a make up person really, but curious which companies you might recommend, if you don't mind sharing

So before BC, I was not able to find makeup even from “clean” companies that didn’t irritate my skin. I have more difficult skin than most people and so I’ve thrown a lot of money down the toilet trying companies. So I haven’t tried that many but have settled on Crunchi. The structure is similar to BC, nice makeup, and so far, no woke craziness. Some are recommending Toupes as a Christian alternative but I haven’t tried it.

Nice, will check them out! Any opinion of Honest mascara? I liked its primer, but this is as makeup-y as I tend to get, so perhaps this is not as new and revolutionary as I think it is, haha.

Randomly reminds me: my friend's teenage girls inform her that eyelash curlers are no longer a thing; falsies are what everyone uses, haha, but I am behind the curve what with all these boys and no one to inform me. (I actually appreciate being behind the curve, so it's fine by me)

I have never tried Honest mascara so I can’t weigh in on that. But I’m definitely behind the falsies curve and always will be! You have to glue those things to your eyelids (I think) and I’m not doing it. lol
