So how can I trust what you said?<br />Maybe you're not into skincare, but I felt you're generalizing everything. Makeup is "the devil" and probably there's not much to do to "improve in a natural way" makeup. Most of those enviromental groups are more into skincare, and I personally feel they're not that crap as all of you are. Yeah, you too, in some way, this blog gives me the feeling that you're with those you "blame".<br />There is someone that says "the world was much better when apple and blackberry were just fruits" and hell, how true is it. Natural stuff date back from thousands of years ago, there is nothing weird on that, the granny's remedies, that was the real deal! So why now it's all bullshit? Because a couple of stupids who believe themselves smart thought that science, technology and chemically made cosmetics were going to be better? This is innovation! This is the future!<br />Please, you have to be kidding me...unahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09682688140981774259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654186745942783056.post-44581713705650639932011-07-12T17:59:12.224+02:002011-07-12T17:59:12.224+02:00This comment has been removed by the author.unahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09682688140981774259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654186745942783056.post-64747068087230383422011-02-08T00:33:45.340+01:002011-02-08T00:33:45.340+01:00Hi Ana-

Bullshit abounds!Rowenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16533541773055568488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654186745942783056.post-23776361139801589652010-10-06T19:08:37.031+02:002010-10-06T19:08:37.031+02:00This is my third comment since finding you blog la...This is my third comment since finding you blog late last night. I am truly fascinated by it. I'm learning a lot. I have one question though. You are illuminating the public on the bullshit involved in schilling beauty products and I truly appreciate it. But what kind of dialogue are you hoping for or expecting? <br /><br />There are places where I want to challenge you to get a better understanding of the processes you participated in. But sometimes it looks as if everyone is having a great ole time beating up on consumers. One the one hand you say outright that so much of what you did is bullshit, but on the other you accuse the people who may have suspected as much of being idiotic assholes. In one post you'll say that waterproof mascara will ruin a person's lashes and people are better off not using it, but then when concerns are raised about ingredients in other products the response is that they're better off eating said products than worrying about what's in them. Do you see the contradiction here?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05096534641101938685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654186745942783056.post-50957318865943957512010-09-25T14:13:25.936+02:002010-09-25T14:13:25.936+02:00Hey Sandi- In the rice eating world where I come f...Hey Sandi- In the rice eating world where I come from, they say rice cries if you DO NOT eat them- not when you do.

Heck, I am taking a stand on this "natural" bullshit- the biggest bullshit of them all! I am not just taking a stand, I am going to freaking speak my filthy mind out rather than die choking on a lettuce. <br /><br />SO, armed with the force of pork barbecue- for now, I start with an inserted photo of my ode to the lettuce.Rowenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16533541773055568488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654186745942783056.post-59138931715382144742010-09-20T08:25:46.474+02:002010-09-20T08:25:46.474+02:00I think some people have forgotten the line betwee...I think some people have forgotten the line between thinking and being sheeple. I have had otherwise intelligent people look me in the eye and tell me the most ridiculous things and when you point out that it's not even scientifically possible they give you that 'oh you poor deluded thing' look and go spread their stupid elswhere. I've been told that even Snopes is part of the conspiracy to kill us all (and just how much product do dead people buy hmmm?). Makes you want to slap the sheeple into next week.Sandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17296523015389474516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654186745942783056.post-77723224059552036332010-09-19T10:45:46.052+02:002010-09-19T10:45:46.052+02:00hey vonzi!
