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).

      Going for upper endoscopy today

      Back home after the scope. Dr said as soon as he got in there it was clear signs of celiacs. Must be a decent amount of damage. I don’t remember the post procedure conversation as the anesthesia was still wearing off but that’s what my wife says anyway. Still the biopsy results to come back but pretty definitive and now I get to learn to live gluten fre...

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      There are several blogs where people test different beers using commercially available gluten testing kits. Guinness definitely tests positive for gluten. Something to be mindful of is that in some regions, foodstuffs containing less than 20 ppm gluten can be sold as 'gluten free'. However, due to the volume involved, a UK pint of beer at 19 ppm would contain...

      Going for upper endoscopy today

      First of all, I want to wish you the very best of luck with your procedure today. It's completely understandable to feel a mix of apprehension and hope. Your proactiveness in researching and advocating for that endoscopy was incredibly smart; securing that formal diagnosis is crucial for both insurance and long-term health management. While it's natural to...

Something to be mindful of is that in some regions, foodstuffs containing less than 20 ppm gluten can be sold as 'gluten free'. However, due to the volume involved, a UK pint of beer at 19 ppm would contain more gluten than the generally accepted as safe daily limit of 10 mg. I have seen gluten-free beers testing at between "undetectable" and 5-10 ppm. I have also seen a report of a positive home test on Daura Damm, which is sold as gluten-free beer - the manufacturer did not respond to the tester's query.

      First of all, I want to wish you the very best of luck with your procedure today. It's completely understandable to feel a mix of apprehension and hope. Your proactiveness in researching and advocating for that endoscopy was incredibly smart; securing that formal diagnosis is crucial for both insurance and long-term health management. While it's natural to worry that those five gluten-free days could affect the results, your logic is spot-on—it's highly unlikely your intestines healed completely in that short time, and the fact that your joint pain and stomach issues have flared back up aggressively after reintroducing gluten is a very strong, and unfortunate, sign that the inflammation is indeed present and active. It's also very common for people to look back and connect dots, like your lifelong migraines, once a potential celiac diagnosis is on the table, as it's a systemic condition with many non-gastrointestinal symptoms. I truly hope this scope provides the clear answers you need to finally start on the right path to managing your health and finding lasting relief from the fatigue and pain. Safe travels for your drive, and here's hoping for a definitive answer and a brighter, healthier chapter ahead.
