What happens to cosmetics with defects ? What happens to cosmetics that have various packaging defects ? Are they disposed ? Or do they sell them ? I have seen some products (Mac,Estee Lauder) that have small packaging defects for sale.Out of curiosity I bought a lip gloss(Estee Lauder shine pops) and the quality & contents are the same as the original. Only thing is that the gloss color is differant from what is says on the lable. It says "Mellow Yellow" when the colour is actually "sweet nectar". Has anyone else seen stuff like this ? I got mine from a shop in Colombo,Sri Lanka called "Osborn". I also bought a lip gloss called "Dior Kiss" for 475 Rupees.It's about 2500 Rupees if you are buying from a authorized shop.
Can using topical hair products/skin cosmetics contribute to causing cancer? I don't see how topicals are as dangerous as foods that are ingested, and even the ingested items take large doses to do any significant harm. So then why is everyone hopping on the natural/organic bandwagon for hair products and cosmetics? Or can the stuff seep through your scalp/skin, and if you use it long term contribute to causing cancer? Exactly how dangerous Are hair products and cosmetics? Do they pose a greater or lesser threat than lets say foods that are ingested, and fumes that are breathed in such as smoking?
Do you have a hard time deciding on which cosmetics to use? Tanners or moisturizers, wrinkle creams or repair creams, sunscreens or eye creams, daytime creams or night creams, foot and hand creams, celluit creams... Seems like the cosmetic world wants us to spend all our time on creaming ourselves for nothing. Sometimes, I find myself drawn into the cosmetic world by attractive commercials like "Use this cream for your elbows" "Use this one for your eyes" "Use this on your celluits" "This cream is perfect for aging" "This body cream will make your skin super smooth" But then I realize I can't do that for life! Man, it's a lot of time and money. So, now I only use a moisturizer with spf on my face and tanner on my legs and arms in summers. I wonder what other women use and how they feel about cosmetics.
