The Most Cost-Effective Chemical Free Makeup Solution That You’ll Love

Inside: There are serious toxins in cosmetics these days! This is the best toxic free, chemical free makeup you’ll find for an awesome price.

---

About 3 years ago I had a big wake up call with the cosmetics I was using on my skin. I went to work with a brand new foundation that made me look “pretty” and by the end of the day, my face was red, burning and itchy. (I’ll spare you the gorey aftermath photo).

The hard truth is there’s a lot of scary things in our cosmetics and beauty products these days.

Let me start out by saying that I understand everything is a chemical — even water — and that for the purpose of this info on chemical free make up, I’m talking about talc, bismuth, paragons, phthalates, petrochemicals, synthetic fragrance, synthetic color, gluten, mineral oil and nano particles.

If you’re still a skeptic, there’s plenty of information to back it up.

• Here’s a CBS news report on the increasing side effects from cosmetics.
• Here’s on from Dr. Mercola on dangerous cosmetics causing major skin harm. 
• Here’s one from Environmental Health Perspectives on the chemical exposures you’re subject to by using beauty products.

Here’s a basic run down about toxins in make up:

Phthalates

Phthalates are used as plasticisers and solvents, and can be found in fragrances, hair products, skin lotions, nail polish and nail hardeners. They disrupt your endocrine system, contribute to endometriosis, early puberty in girls, reproductive organ abnormalities and reduced fertility in males. They can also act on the thyroid, and have been linked with obesity.

Parabens

Parabens are preservatives used in many cosmetic and personal care products, (with methyl paraben being the most commonly used) to help prevent bacteria growth in your makeup. In lab testing on animals, parabens can disrupt the endocrine system.

Formaldehyde

Formaldehyde is a preservative that can irritate skin, eyes, nose and the respiratory tract, and can cause cancer among those with high levels of exposure. Small amounts are permitted for use in cosmetics.

But here’s the kicker: Any company can use the word “fragrance” and it can contain upwards of 300 chemicals, including formaldehyde. This is where makeup companies like to hide chemicals by calling it “fragrance” and deceiving the consumer.

This is why using anything with “fragrance” is a Big Fat No for me. Our family only uses essential oils or products using essential oils for scent.

The best chemical free make up solution.

Recently Young Living came out with a makeup line called Savvy Minerals, and it’s never made with talc, bismuth, paragons, phthalates, petrochemicals, synthetic fragrance, synthetic color, gluten, mineral oil or nano particles!

The even better part about Young Living is that all their standards are higher than organic, which means you’re going to get the greenest, cleanest makeup you’ll ever find. It’s all part of their Seed-to-Seal promise.

The toxin free make up cost comparison.

You might be wondering how much all this stuff costs compared to other organic or chemical free makeups. Sometimes we talk ourselves out of spending money on things because we THINK we are spending a lot. I’ve included a Young Living vs. Beauty Counter vs. BareMinerals comparison for you.

• Eyeliner – $15.75
• Foundation – $44.00
• Eyeshadow (one color) – $15.25
• Lip Gloss – $27.50
• Lipstick – $22.75
• Blush – $27.75
• Total = $153

• Eyeliner – $23
• Foundation (powder) – $41
• Eyeshadow – $34
• Lip Gloss – $29
• Lipstick – $30
• Blush – $40
• Total = $197

• Eyeliner – $17
• Foundation – $28.50
• Eyeshadow (Palette) – $45
• Lip Gloss – $18
• Lipstick – $20
• Blush – $24
• Total = $152.50

There’s a way to get Savvy Minerals even cheaper.

Once you join Young Living (I’ll show you how in just a sec), you can join Essential Rewards.

You will receive points based on a percentage of your PV for each Essential Rewards order. The percentage you receive depends on how many months you have consecutively placed Essential Rewards orders. There is no limit to the amount of points you can earn in a month.

• 1–3 months: 10 percent of each Essential Rewards order PV
• 4–24 months: 20 percent of each Essential Rewards order PV
• 25+ months: 25 percent of each Essential Rewards order PV

Because I’ve been using YL products for so long, I currently get 25% of each order back in points, which means that when I buy $150 worth of make up, I actually get another $37.50 to put towards the purchase of their chemical free lotions, soaps, shampoos and face products.

If you’re wondering why you’d need something like Essential Rewards (I was a skeptic too!), all I did was look at the products in my shower to realize not only did my makeup need a huge overhaul, so did the lotions, soaps and hair products.

Before I show you how to get your hands on all this awesome stuff, let me show you all that’s available to you…

Savvy Minerals toxic free makeup line.

If you’re interested in switching to Savvy Minerals, you can essentially ditch all the other makeup in your cosmetic bag because Young Living created a full line. They even have mascara now, which was originally not present when the line was released.

How to get your toxic free makeup for the best price.

If you are ready to buy a makeup starter kit, then be sure to sign up as a wholesale member (with one of the premium starter kits) through the instructions below before this deal ends!

1. Head over to the Young Living page here and fill out your information.

*Signing up as a wholesale member does not mean you have to ever sell anything. It simply gives you that option if you so choose and the ability to make Young Living Oil purchases at wholesale prices (which is 24% off regular pricing)*

2. Be sure the “Wholesale Member” option is checked so that you don’t end up paying retail prices

3. Be sure the “sponsor ID” and “enroller id” says 2295733 (so that I can send you your extras!)

4. Fill in your member info.

Enter the name, address and billing info you would like under your account. Make sure your address is correct so all the oil goodness arrives at the right place 🙂

5. Select the Other Premium Kits tab and choose which Savvy Minerals Kit you want.

Then add any additional items. Choose as many or as few makeup items as you’d like. I personally like to stock up so I don’t have to order again right away.

Choose from foundation, bronzer, veil, lipgloss, eyeliner, eye shadow, mascara, and you may even want to check out Young Living’s ART skin care system or Orange Blossom line if you’re looking to replace your face wash and lotion too.

6. Go through the checkout process.

7. Send me a super quick email. 

After you sign up, send an email to themilitarywifeandmom@gmail.com letting me know that you signed up through this promotion **MAKEUP20**.

Because I’m going to send you a $20 Amazon Gift card as a special gift with your first order!!!

IMPORTANT:  This promotion is only available when you sign up with the sponsor ID and enroller ID as #2295733! Also, if you recommend this promotion to a friend (or group of friends) and they sign up too through this promotion then please let me know so that you can get credit for referring them.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Does signing up make me a “distributor”?

Nope! You are not required to sell anything at all to anyone. When you become a wholesale member, you get a special link that you can share with friends and get credit from their purchases, but there are no minimum sales amounts at all.

In fact, 90% of the wholesale members in Young Living don’t do the business side at all. They are buying from Young Living because of the quality alone.

Am I required to make a minimum purchase each month?

There are absolutely NO minimum monthly purchase requirements. To remain a wholesale member, you have to make $50 worth of purchases per year to keep your membership.

But if there’s a year that you don’t make a $50 purchase, you can reinstate your wholesale membership discount by just placing a $50 order.

If you do find yourself making regular purchases each month, then Young Living has a rewards program (called Essential Rewards) where you can make a nice percentage back in product credit each month on all of your purchases.

So that’s a neat program to join if you find that you *want* to purchase regularly (but it’s not a requirement for being a wholesale member).

Why should I buy from Young Living instead of other  companies?

It does seem like a new natural-based produc company pops up every day, doesn’t it?

I can’t speak to the quality of other companies, but I can say that Young Living was the only company in my research of essential oil companies that could answer all of my questions about purity in a way that was satisfactory to me.

Young Living was the only company that has their own farms (in the regions where the plants should be grown), could absolutely guarantee that no pesticides or herbicides were used in the growing of any of their oils (they do all of the weeding by hand), has their own testing equipment (they do both in-house and 3rd party testing, and use many different testing methods not just GC/MS which only tests for certain chemicals, not whether those chemicals are synthetic or not), and only uses the first distillation of oils instead of adding chemicals to get more out of the plant.

Young Living also was the only company that was directly in charge of essential oil farming operations. Every other company I researched goes through some kind of an “oil broker” to buy their oils.

They have to trust that the oil broker is telling the truth, who has to trust that the essential oil distilleries are telling the truth, who have to trust that the farmers are telling the truth about what they say they are doing.

With Young Living, you just have to trust one company instead of several.

I feel like it’s a trust step either way (anyone could be lying) but I felt the most comfortable trusting Young Living since they are a full-disclosure company.

ANYONE can visit the farms, participate in the harvesting and distillation, view the Young Living labs, and see the entire process. That’s not an option with any other company.
