makeup your mind

There are many times when buying cheap perfume or cosmetics seems like a good idea.
--Your sister needs wacky colors for a dance recital, and no one wants to spend a lot on eyeshadow that will be worn once.
--It’s your dad’s birthday, and you’re cash-strapped, so you buy the “inspired-by” version of his favorite cologne.

Like medicine, poorly made or toxic cosmetics can make us seriously sick. The list of reactions to such products is endless: allergies, skin cancer, breathing problems, lead poisoning and blindness. Not such a pretty picture after all.
