Another Healthy Alternative that will make you Happy!
So as I was searching away trying to find some perfect alernatives to all the products I've been complaining about on my blog I discovered Earth Lab Cosmetics and had an epiphany! While originally I've been against make-up as a tool to cover up insecurities and imperfections (and I still am) I think my perspective changed slightly while watching a testimonial video on their page... first go and watch the video below and than read the next portion of my writing (even if you don't it's okay, i'm guessing most people won't but it would be cool if you were an honest human being and just did this one little think for me today) haha!
Okay so now that you've hopefully watched the video I can explain my epiphany ! I've realized that although covering up your skin can be an issue at times I do not want to take away from the women that truly feel comfortable with a little bit of make-up on. These women are beautiful in both images but seem to portray a more self-confident approach to wearing the make-up. And while I disagree that that should be the only way women feel confident I have to understand not to disrespect those who find it empowering or helpful to their self-esteem. The Earthlab cosmetics offer a glowing essence to these women's complexions that might be useful to use after a long day at work when you want to go out for dinner and still feel sexy in your new dress! It seems like such an obvious thing to think but these videos before and after shots do not look that much different except for brighter and more glowing skin! If you feel good in make-up and it empowers you than more power to you! :) But don't forget about your health in the process. Remember that your health will always be more important than your outer perceived beauty! EarthLab has a base in Canada and the United States!

"Hi Meaghan,
Thanks so much for thinking of us!
My Mom and I started this company 7 years ago. We were trying to find "clean" makeup products that we didn't react to! Our family has a long list of skin sensitivities -including rosacea. There wasn't much available 7 years ago so we started playing with ingredients and developing our own products. Out of this passion developed Earth lab Cosmetics! Please let us know or send a link when your blog is up!

Jen MacDougall"
