We are fortunate to live in a time in which the cosmetic industry is feeling the force of the customer and turning away from the popular lab-concocted chemical formulas of the 70s and 80s to produce safer natural makeup.

And while mineral makeups you see on TV may be free of parabens and irritating preservatives, if you’ve tried them on your skin, they don’t exactly feel as “hydrating,” “calming” or as “healthy” as they claim to be.

In this day and age, however, as a consumer, you should expect more.  After all, a foundation can actually be hydrating, anti-aging and made from only safe, natural ingredients.  But these products may have a shelf life.  So the question for you is this:

Are you willing to use a natural product that might expire in 6 months if it really is good for your skin and feels great on?

I truly value Afterglow’s committment to natural, gluten-free cosmetics, and their red carpet worthy cosmetics are utterly impressive. As a result, I have added several new favorite Afterglow products to the site, and have just wrapped up one of my very first (of many) videos featuring their buzzy-worthy, professional finish products in a comparison/contrast to those of Jane Iredale which are wonderful for everyday beauty.

Please visit the newly updated NaturallyDahling.com and don’t forget to check out my new product comparison video:

Take care!!!

read more..]]> I am so thrilled to see that people (and publications) are taking notice of the sizeable growth of the gluten-free industry–more awareness means more knowledge, more research and more diagnoses! 

This does have me thinking, obviously gluten-free is going to be a big food trend in 2009, but what about make-up trends?

So here are some of my favorite picks for make-up tips in 2009:

-Lengthened Brows

-Exaggerated Eyeliner

-Pop Lip Color

I’ll be working on some video demonstrations and pics to upload soon!

Yesterday was very exciting, I recorded a YouTube video as I tested my Dr.Hauschka Lipstick
for any traces of gluten using ELISA’s EZ Gluten Test Kit.  The test kit is so easy to use, and detects as little as 10 parts per million.

Representatives at Dr. Hauschka had previously confirmed that the product contains no gluten, but because as little as one milligram of gluten per day can prevent intestinal healing, it’s better to be safe than sorry.  The most exciting part of the process was that as I was testing, and filming, I did not know for certain how the test would come out.

It was a successful negative, the Dr.Hauschka Lipstick is absolutely safe for those with celiac and gluten intolerance!

Here is my link to the video:
