Natural Organic Makeup Recipes: How to Make Organic Cosmetics at Home Using 25 Natural Organic Beauty Recipes (organic beauty, organic beauty recipes, ... up, natural makeup recipes, diy makeup) Kindle Edition

I got interested in natural organic beauty products when drugstore shampoos didn’t seem to work with my hair anymore. Shopping for an organic shampoo led to not only seeking natural alternatives to creams and makeup, but to finding out how these natural organic products are made and what goes into each of them.Bella Rose’s “Natural Organic Makeup Recipes” satisfied my curiosity. She starts her book with a list of common chemicals found in store-bought beauty products and the dangers they pose to our health. Next, she describes beneficial ingredients such as carrier oils, essential oils, clays and spices. In her recipes, she makes use of these ingredients and I was surprised how you can use blackberries, egg-white, and beets to make lips stains and even mascara. Also, in this book, you will learn how to make foundations, blushes, eye shadows and powders. Some of us think that natural/organic makeup includes mineral makeup. However, this book is not the one for learning how to make mineral makeup. Instead of micas and iron oxides pigments, Bella Rose uses cacao powder and spices to create different skin tones for her foundations and powders.Though this book is short, I found it very informative, and I’m looking forward to trying some of the recipes because I eventually want to make my own makeup one day.

Now I need to do some shopping for the ingredients :)

After research them reading this book, it has good info that I have tried & used to adapt for my own twist on things

The book has great recipes, easy dialog, funny stories, and you can really connect with the author.

Not only there awesome recipes in this book but she also gives you so much great information! This book is a great resource to learn about all the harmful ingredients in normal beauty products and natural alternatives.

I have been looking for a good book on home made natural non toxic makeup for quite awhile & was very happy to find this book. I started using essential oils several months ago and began learning about all the toxins in our food and beauty products. It was very frightening! I love makeup and was having difficulty making a decision to give it up because of all the"bad" ingredients. Now I don't have to give up makeup altogether. I can make my own! I will be taking my list of ingredients and placing my order for the items I need to get started ASAP! Very glad I downloaded this book and highly recommend it

I've been researching natural makeup recipes online and in various e-books. This book has some interesting recipes for making your own mascara, but really you can get all of these recipes online on YouTube as well as many websites, such as wellnessmama.com.

I love the idea of making my own makeup. I like the layout of the book, it is easy to read. I do have questions as to why there are no "botanical names" attached to any of the powered herbs in the recipes. Having the botanical name makes it much easier to shop. Here's a example, there are 2 different kinds of Cinnamon powder, which one does she recommend? The essential oils she recommends, well some of those are very expensive. Some of the essential oils are phototoxic, your not suppose to use them if you plan on spending any time in the sun, you can get a sunburn. I gave the book 3 stars because of the reason's stated, no botanical names and no essential oil warnings. This book is no good to me, not without knowing what I am suppose to buy.On the plus side, the recipes are easy to understand and well laid out.
