Thanks Susan!
Thank you for this write up, Becca. It’s just what I needed.
Oh good, I am so glad!
What an amazing list. Toxic free makeup is one of my last areas to cover. Now that my girls are close to wearing makeup I want to find something for them. I will be keeping this for reference for sure.
So glad to hear that Stacy! Thanks!
A great list indeed. Minis and sample sized are so great for travel and trying new products. In a time where consumption has high, and somewhat necessary to find what works for you, product sampling and buying smaller sized products can be more conscious and cost affective solution.
I totally agree! Thanks for taking the time to write!
