For The Ladies: Clinique Lipstick -- Help!

I've been using Clinique Long Lasting Lipstick in Bamboo Pink for many years. It's a great color for me. But I just found out it has gluten in it!! The last time I wore it, I noticed that it made my lips a bit chapped. So I think I was reacting to it and should stop using it :(

Does anyone else wear that color, and have you found a good substitute for it? I just don't have the energy to start lipstick shopping. I'm hoping that someone else on this forum has figured this out.

Thank you!

I've never used that shade but comparing the color and shine of it, I'd say you ought to try "Hue" or "Pervette" by MAC. However I can't see any ingredient lists on their site. I do know that the two shades I have of theirs are gluten free and safe, I don't know about ALL their products though.

Yikes! I remember when my favorite lipstick color was discontinued...so disappointing. I've recently found Red Apple Lipstick which is gluten free (and paraben free and a bunch of other stuff free too!) I was leery about buying lipstick online but I did and I love it. The colors are gorgeous and the glosses and lipsticks I've tried have worn really well. Their customer service is awesome (my first order actually went AWOL and they sent out another package right away, no questions asked) and they have free regular shipping. I hear they are thinking of expanding to all sorts of make-up if they can come up with formulations that fit their requirements and are good quality. I will so buy it if they make more types of make-up. Just do a search for 'red apple lipstick' and the site will pop up.

Baagh! That's my favorite lipstick, now I have to toss it (I only wear lipstick every once in a while and haven't since I went gluten-free.) Glad you posted. Do post again if you come across a good substitute, please. :)

Well, I bought some colors of gluten-free lipstick from Ecco Bella online. When they get here, I will let you ladies know which one seems to be equivalent to Bamboo Pink by Clinique. There are also some colors by Afterglow that look equivalent, but their lipsticks cost twice as much as Ecco Bella's. I might buy one or two eventually to see how they compare.

For the moment, I got a couple of drugstore lip glosses from a gluten-free list I'd found online....Neutrogena Moisture(something) ...I don't have it in front of me at the moment.

The continuing saga of gluten-free lipsticks...

I got my Ecco Bella lipsticks today. The color Napa Grape is very close to Bamboo Pink. However, I find the lipstick to feel very heavy and chalky on my lips, not nice and light the way the Clinque lipstick was. Also, it is very very matte, so I have to put some gloss over it, or it looks chalky. I also got their Vitamin E Lip Smoother in Rhubarb, and that is a little lighter and smoother, and the color is similar to Bamboo Pink. I like that one better. It doesn't feel as heavy on the lips.

I will buy some Afterglow lipsticks and see how they fare.

The Neutrogena Lip Gloss which is VERY close to the Bamboo Pink color is MoistureShine Gloss in Vita Plum #230. Open Original Shared Link

I might just also write to Clinique and beg them to help me find a gluten-free lipstick in their brand that is close to Bamboo Pink. I have never found their lipsticks to feel heavy or icky. It really sucks to have to give up my favorite!

One thing is for sure....since not using a lipstick that contains gluten, my lips are not chapped at all anymore. I had no idea previously. It really amazes me.

When I researched Clinique ingredients, I found that only the daily moisturizer did not contain gluten, dairy or soy ingredients (3 of my dx'd allergies). So I continued their moisturizer but switched to Revlon (which was free of my allergens) for all my lipstick, and switched to Almay for other makeup.

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      @catnapt, Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract. They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows. Even beans have lectins. You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract. You may want to allow your digestive tract...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg). Both are gluten free and free of other allergens. I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25". It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA. It's a powder form of Vitamin A. ...

      I wouldn't consider this lucky. I can NOT tolerate the symptoms. And I googled it and I was not even getting 10 grams of gluten per day and I was extremely ill. They'd have to put me in the hospital. I'm not kidding. I will have my first appt with a GI dr on March 4th I will not eat gluten again - at least not on purpose ...

      @catnapt,  Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract.  They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows.   Even beans have lectins.  You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract.   You may want to allow your digestive tract to rest for a week, then start on gluten in "normal" food, not in concentrated vital wheat gluten. This explains it well: Lectins, agglutinins, and their roles in autoimmune reactivities https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25599185/

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg).   Both are gluten free and free of other allergens.  I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25".  It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA.  It's a powder form of Vitamin A.  I was having trouble digesting fats at one point, but found I tolerated the powder form much better and have stuck with it since.   Tryptophan and Vitamin A help heal the intestines as well as improves skin health.  I get Dermatitis Herpetiformis and eczema flairs when my stomach is upset.  So I'm healing the outside as well as the inside.   I take one 1000 mg Tryptophan before bedtime.   With the Thiamine HCl, take 100 mg to start.  If you don't notice anything, three hours later take another. You can keep increasing your dose in this manner until you do notice improvement.  Remember not to take it in the evening so it won't keep you too energized to sleep. When I first started Thiamine HCl, taking 500 mg to 1000 mg to start was recommended.  If you've been thiamine insufficient for a while, you do notice a big difference.  It's like the start of a NASCAR race: Zoom, Zoom, turn it up!   This scared or made some people uncomfortable, but it's just your body beginning to function properly, like putting new spark plugs in your engine.  I took 1000 mg all at once without food.  It kicked in beautifully, but I got a tummy ache, so take with food.  I added in Thiamine TTFD and Benfotiamine weeks later and felt like I was Formula One racing.  So cool.  You may feel worse for a couple days as your body adjusts to having sufficient thiamine.  Feels sort of like you haven't cranked your engine for a while and it backfires and sputters, but it will settle down and start purring soon enough.  Adjust your dose to what feels right for you, increasing your dose as long as you feel improvement.  You can reach a plateau, so stay there for several days, then try bumping it up again.  If no more improvements happen, you can stay at the plateau amount and experiment with increasing your Thiamine TTFD.  It's like being your own lab rat.  LoL Yes, take one Benfotiamine at breakfast and one at lunch.  Take the B Complex at breakfast. Take the TTFD at breakfast and lunch as well.  I like to take the vitamins at the beginning of meals and the NeuroMag at the end of meals.   You may want to add in some zinc.  I take Thorne Zinc 30 mg at breakfast at the beginning of the meal.   Are you getting sufficient Omega Threes?  Our brains are made up mostly of fat.  Flaxseed oil supplements, sunflower seed oil supplements (or eat the seeds themselves) can improve that.  Cooking with extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil is also helpful.   @Wheatwacked likes phosphotidyl choline supplements for his Omega Threes.  He's also had dramatic health improvement by supplementing thiamine.  You're doing great!  Thank you for sharing your journey with us.  This path will smooth out.  Keep going!
