Safety Issues Surrounding Neon Pigments
Hi, guys! Today I'm going to talk some more about a pretty serious issue: neon pigments in cosmetics. Neon pigments (that is, colors that are UV-responsive) are NOT approved for use in the eye area. The dyes used to create UV-responsive colors can cause adverse reactions when used in the eye area, even sometimes negatively affecting the wearer's eyesight. There are many sellers out there, large- and small-scale that create and sell neon products and, appropriately, advising consumers that the colorants are not FDA-approved for eye use and not to apply them on or around the eye area. There are other sellers out there, however, that have no such warning. It is all too easy to buy some jars, slap a handwritten "100% Natural" label on them, and dump soap dyes in them for resale. I wrote about this a few years back, in regard to a specific company, when this seemed to be happening fairly frequently. I noticed yesterday that I got a significant amount of hits from a Reddit thread last year questioning a newer company that appeared to be selling soap dyes as eyeshadow. That company is still operating and selling neon pigments as eyeshadows, so I thought it was an important topic to bring up again. Always do your research. I wouldn't want anybody out there unwittingly causing themselves harm just to glow under a blacklight for a few hours. You can view my list of brands I do not support to see a handful of companies doing this, and other sketchy stuff. Always be wary of thing like this - especially when it comes to things you wear on or around the eye area - and research everything that seems too good to be true. Stay safe out there!
OPI My Voice Is A Little Norse + Do You Have This Color In Stock-Holm? Swatches
Hey, guys! Today I've got two more colors from the OPI Nordic collection for you! I had swatched these around the same time as the other Nordic collection colors I have, which I posted back in August. For some reason, though, I put these swatches on Tumblr and not here. Whoops!

Ginger + Liz I'm So Over Him + Kicking & Screaming Swatches
Hey, guys! Today I've got another color that I've had for a while and hadn't swatched (and one that I posted on Tumblr that didn't make it over here for some reason). The 100 day no-buy is going well, and giving me a chance to swatch some of the colors that I've had just sitting around. I'll admit, there are a few things that have tempted me, but I'm actually feeling pretty good about it. Without further ado, go ahead and click through for the swatch!
