I called the manufacturer of most of the makeup I wear (Mary Kay), and they gave me some statement about not being able to guarantee the ingredients in their products, and they would refer me to my doctor for his guidance. I'm sure she was reading from a script.

I'm just curious if anyone has had similar experiences with makeup companies, and if they've found a company that will actually stick by their ingredients? I really, really, really don't want to give up Mary Kay makeup, I've tried others and nothing else compares.

Have you tried Bare Escentuals? I have used it even before I went gluten-free. Their makeup line is gluten free althouth some of their lotions and bath products have wheat in them. I really love their makeup--I get it through QVC--if you want it, I'll post the phone# to call to get a catalogue.

If you cant get a straight answer from them...I wouldnt use their products. I didnt have problems with the companies I called. I dont use Mary Kay so I have no idea about them. How is your doctor suppossed to know what ingredients Mary Kay uses? That was a lame statement IMO.

hi, I received a list that had covergirl on it as gluten-free. I was using Avon glazewear all this time and didnt realize is had gluten in it. So I changed to everything covergirl.

I also switched to Bare Escentuals. I had a hard time "trusting" makeup companies. ...And honestly, once I started doing the research on the ingredients in my makeup/products, I wanted to switch to "all natural" ones, b/c the mainstream contain many harmful ingredients...even if it is hard to believe!

Where do you girls buy the Bare Essentials brand makeup (what type of store)?

I get mine through QVC. They have a BE line #1-800-345-4492. They will send you a free catalogue. They offer reduced shipping through the catalogue--$3.97 for the whole order. I like the catalogue because it shows the whole line w/ all the colors. Also, tomorrow (11/19), QVC will be featuring BE throughout the day. Yes, I am a bit of a QVC junkie! :(

You can also get the Bare Essentials-Bare Minerals makeup at Sephora. There are several BE stores as well. I know there's one in the Delta terminal at the Atlanta Airport.

I also get mine at sephora in store or on Open Original Shared Link

I think they have a larger selection than QVC...

Jen, I checked out the Sephora link--it looked great! Thanks. Also, I forgot to mention before that Ulta Stores carry a limited number of Bare Escentuals products. I've seen the foundations there as well as a few other things.

Thanks...I'm on my way to Sephora (also set up a QVC account # today).

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      Thanks, I’m still dealing with the pain and tingling and itching and feeling like bugs or something crawling around on my face and scalp. It’s been a miserable experience. I saw my eye doc last week, the eye itself was okay, so they didn’t do anything. I did take a 7 day course of an antiviral. I’m hoping for a turnaround soon! My life is full of stress ...

      I don't think any apps are up to date, which is exactly why this happened to you. Most of the data in such apps is years old, and it doesn't get updated in real time. Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. ...

      What is the best gluten free scanner app? I have the "gluten-free Scanner" app. I scanned an almond joy and it says it contains gluten when the package is labeled gluten free

My life is full of stress but I have been on / off the gluten free diet for the last year , after being talked into going back on gluten to have a biopsy, that looked okay. But I do have positive antibody levels that have been responsive  to a gluten free diet. I can’t help but wonder if the last year has caused all this.

Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
