Making your own decisions or falling for the hype? We are bombarded everyday by the hype and fluff of big budget advertising and marketing campaigns for just about every product we buy…including mineral makeup.
There is so much of it that it’s hard to tell what we should really pay attention to…which is actually just what the hype is designed to do. The Affordable Mineral Makeup Company doesn’t have big budget advertising and marketing campaigns, but it wouldn’t matter if they did…they just say it like it is: they recommend using personal care and makeup products with no unnecessary, harmful or toxic ingredients…only healthy, pure ingredients and none that you don’t need…and that’s exactly what you get with pure mineral makeup from Affordable Mineral Makeup.
It’s easy at any age to be lulled into a trance by the promises of sexy, glamorous, Hollywood looks by using the ‘purest’ or ‘most refined’ makeup products…but read the labels…make sure you know exactly what you are getting for the extra money you are paying for all that marketing and advertising hype.
Now are you making your decisions to buy pure minerals based on the hype of international companies, or are you doing your research and making your own decisions? Makeup!! Your Mind!

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!

If you go to the Cosmetics Database website and look up foundations, you will see an enormous amount of mineral foundations that are called ‘ONLY moderately hazardous’. Good grief. Moderately hazardous! Of couse, Affordable Mineral Makeup is not one of these or worse. We do not have, nor will we ever ever have anything that is called hazardous anything.
If there was a contest for the most moronic combination of words, I think this would be the winner.
Moderately hazardous. Hilarious! Well not hilarious… sad, disgraceful, disgusting, vile, horrible…well you get the idea. I don’t mean to pick on Cosmetics Database. They provide a very important service, and I applaud them, its just that the terminology really got to me. But you could tell that, couldn’t you? I have to go take a nap. Arlene

You got that right, teenage girls are not paying the mortgage. So what are they doing with their money? They buy clothes and makeup.
Do they know that the makeup they buy is loaded with chemicals and toxins? No, they don’t. So we need to tell them. Maybe the years and years of using these toxic makeups have contributed to our suffering breast cancer and other not so pleasant ailments. We need to be asking teens, no begging them, to stop putting toxins into their bodies. How do we get the word out? How do we protect them? It is astonishingly vile that cosmetic companies actually use harmful ingredients. It is so beyond the boundaries of doing the right thing.
Get your teenager to start using chemical free makeup. Start right here…have them watch The Story of Cosmetics…it’s an important message that everyone should see. Affordable Mineral Makeup is putting together a place on our site just for teenagers. We will have an educated teen spokesperson to help spread the word to teenagers. Enough of letting these big cosmetics companies sweet talk us while offering a poisoned apple. Enough. Enough. Enough.

You know, I’m fairly new to the cosmetic industry, having bought the Affordable Mineral Makeup Company just 6 weeks ago. I didn’t know a whole heck of a lot about the industry. I just bought my cosmetics like millions of other women, just like you, thinking the products were OK’d by good old Uncle Sam.
The first thing I found out was that I was wrong. And not just wrong, but wildly wrong and completely ignorant about being put in harm’s way by an industry that is self regulating and that absolutely, positively uses toxins in their products. With friends like these…
Do you know that the existing law, on the books since 1938, states that the FDA cannot even call for product recalls even in cases where products were found to contain illegal levels of toxins. I think you should read this last sentence again. All I can say is “you’ve got to be kidding me!”
Not that I don’t think this is horrendous, but worse yet, some of this toxic stuff is in baby products. Really. Learn more about safer cosmetics right here: watch the just-released video The Story of Cosmetics right now on Affordable Mineral Makeup.
So now, Congress has in front of it a bill to insure that personal care products are free of harmful ingredients. Geez…wonder if it will pass.
Sure I am trying to get my company up to the next level of success, but truth be told, Affordable Mineral Makeup is free of toxins, chemicals and we do not use anything that is tested on animals. It is the biggest no-brainer since we started using our brains. Stop, stop, stop using cosmetics that are loaded with toxins. How dare any company care so little about the health and well being of us? Check out your cosmetics at www.safecosmetics.org and stop helping these companies continue to harm us so they can make a buck. We can do it. Let’s.
