Favorite Mascara

As many of you know, I’m a huge Mirenesse mascara fan. So big a fan that when they stopped selling online in the states, I started to order from Australia. They’d send samples of other products, such as lipsticks, cleansers, etc. – many of which I also fell in love with.

After I read “Anti-cancer: a new way of life” (Servan-Schreiber), I started to get really conscious about what I was putting on my skin. It’s harder than you think to avoid parabens and phthalates. Origins is a good line here in the US, but the Mirenesse mascara was so good I just continued to use it.

I always liked the fact that Mirenesse frequently gives their profits to cancer charities in Australia. Today I discovered that their products are organic to Australian standards, and have no parabens or other bad ingredients.

In my book, I like supporting brands that support us. Great products + socially-conscious company = a winning formula for healthy beauty!!

P.S. If you sign up for their mailing list, you’ll be inundated daily, but sometimes there’s a great offer that you just can’t pass by. Shipping is just about the same as here in the US and it arrives quite quickly.
