What Lipstick Do You Use?

So far two companies have told me they have some gluten-free lipsticks - Lumene and Neutrogena. I have 6 from Lumene and two from Nertrogena. I have to mix several together to get the color I want. I think Bare Essentials and Bare Minerals have some gluten-free lipsticks (but not all) but does anyone know of some other cheap (drugstore brands) that you found out were gluten free? My Mother told me today she'd neglected to get new lipstick after being gluten-free for a week. I know none of Lumenes colors are dark enough for her and she can find hardly Neutrogena ones in stock anywhere in her town.

If you don't know of cheap brands, then tell me about any department store brands that you know are gluten free. We need all the help we can get.

Vincnet - you are sooooooooo funny! We are total girlie girls (okay at 42 and 63 I guess we can't pass for girls anymore) and proud of it so we unlike you mister....can not do without lipstick. Still looking for answers other than Lumene or Neutrogena if you don't mind.

Sorry Tiffany--I use Neutrogena Lip Gloss. To tell you the truth, I don't know about any of the others except the Bare Escentuals. The lipstick situation is confusing to me, so I stick with what I know :blink:

I use mostly MAC. I checked the colors I use and they are all fine. Sometimes I forget about the lipstick thing and I'll grab a new color I like and then realize I need to check it out. But so far I haven't had any problems with makeup.

Are most Mac lipsticks gluten free?? I have used Clinique, but am wondering if what i am using is gluten free. It is frustrating, because their are SO many names of lipsticks that it gets really confusing about even trying to figure it all out. I have really not warn any recently. I did buy some Burt's Bee's, but don't care for the colors I bought. It was a waste of my money.

The RARE times I wear lipcolor of any kind, it's Clinique lip gloss (I checked).

...usually I just wear carmex. I do all of my other makeup, just not lips...

Thanks everyone....surely some others will post but if not, I'll give MAC a try and maybe BE too. I'll call about one shade of each of those lines and see if I prefer one brand over the other. I liked Revlon, through that all out when they told me they didn't know what was in their make-up and then I kept some Coverl Girl until P&G retards sent me that idiotic note asking me to have my doctor send a letter about each and every product and shade. Those P&G people must be embarrassed by that blanket CYA statement they throw at everyone. So far I've gotten rid or most everything I had in my house from P&G excpet my Tide free which is the only detergent I'm not irritated by. Money talks so maybe when their sales dip they'll start caring more about the of all the gluten-free consumers...after all, there's another one every day it seems.

What is carmex anyway ChelsE?

I use Burt's Bees lip balm (colored) and also their lipstick. I find the lipstick dry but wuite long lasting. I usually put a little of the lipbalm on first and then the lipstick. I have dry skin so I use the lip balm a lot.

It's good ole fashioned lip balm, I like it because it's impossible to have chapped lips with it and it leaves a little shine...and it's cheap and gluten-free!

I was told by the Celiac Center in New York that Bobbie Brown lipsticks are gluten-free. That's what I've been using.

For liner I use either Stripdown or Spice. The lipstick I use is Xpose and then for gloss I use their Lipglass. I can't remember the name of the color but the rep on the phone said all lipglass is fine.

To be honest, I don't pay for most of my makeup, or if I do pay, it's very little. One of the perks of where I work. So far I haven't had any problems with anything, but I usually take stuff and then check it out.

I've said this before, but just so you ladies know, most of these brands are all manufactured by the same 2 companies. Ofcourse color blends and ingredients are specified to the name brand companies request but I don't know that there is really that much variation.

Note that MAC's amplified cream lipsticks have wheat in them, and their lip conditioner.

I used to use a host of brands, but now I only use Bare Escentuals. All their lipsticks (and makeup) are gluten-free and 'natural.' I like their lipstick--goes on smooth and is moisturizing. You can buy it on QVC or Sephora.

Well I had read somewhere about Loreal having some gluten-free lipsticks so I called them today. The woman was really really rude but told me that their Endless kissable, Endless 8-hour and Colour Riche Gold lipsticks are gluten free. She mentioned some glossed that have gluten but I have nutrogena glosses already so I ignored that part.

Sorry I forgot to say what the woman said was gluten-free for the Loreal l/s

colour riche gold (gold is not a color, just type)

moisturizin 8-hour

endless kissable l/s (think EK gloss has gluten)

I'm a professional communicator and I am absolutely outraged when I read that customer help folks are rude! I can't believe this. For us, our health is at stake if we use the wrong products.

My biggest frustration is products with no ingredient labels, which send me to the website, only to find glossy fancy ads and no ingredients. :(

Enough to drive you nuts. I thought the customer was always right.

Well I wanted to report that despite the one rude woman at L'Oreal, I called back and got a human. She cofirmed what the other rep. said but with the rudeness, I was worried I had not written everything down correctly. Walgreen's has the L'Oreal Colour Riche l/s on sale for $1 off this week. That made is $6.99 ea. so I got three tubes. I remembered when I saw it that I liked it from a while back when I tried it. Yea! finally a low price good lipstick that stays on!

I ue Clinique lipgloss like 50 times a day,

hey i'm 15!

But for shows, I used to just lick my lips a lot and make them chapped then put carmex on, so it would look like I was wearing lipstick, but would get away w/o it.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Burt's Bees lip shimmers and they just came out with new colors. Gluten-free and they taste like peppermint!

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
