Swollowing Ox blood to improve your complexion? Burnt matches used to darken eyelids? Not so bad when you consider this next one…using the urine of young boys to fade freckles? And how about this? Queen Victoria hated makeup and associated it with prostitutes and felt it was vulgar for upper class society. She did however say that it was alright to use if you were an actor. Well golly gee and thanks Victoria.

Women have used cosmetics for thousands of years to enhance their looks. In the old testament Jezebel painted her eyelids and probably used minerals since Macy’s was probably not in the neighborhood. Even the book of Esther describes beauty treatments. And even today we call someone a Jezebel if she is overly made up.

If you’ve been reading my posts, you know how strongly I feel about using personal care products without all of the harmful, toxic, unregulated ingredients found in so many of them.  Researching the history of cosmetics and what women once used…weird just doesn’t quite cover it.

Can you imagine what women had to do to get some color on their faces?  Today we just shop on the web and get gorgeous mineral makeup delivered right to our mailboxes. Try doing that with an ox!  We, like in the days of old, have pure pure minerals to offer.  You should check us out. and be gorgeous!  Jezebels, indeed!
