I have quite long days at school sometimes and I find it doesn't always last very well. I've yet to find a natural mascara that doesn't flake or smudge AND provide the huge volume that I love (former L'Oreal Voluminous addict). :)

While this is a very interesting point - and one I often agree with, the idea of women who won't leave the house with "doing their face" frankly terrifies me - there are times when wearing makeup is just FUN, and for those times I think it's great to have more natural options. There are also times btw where wearing makeup is part of WORK (I am thinking of performing on stage here, something I do fairly often).

And, don't forget, cultural conditioning goes both ways. :-) As makeup can be a lot of fun to wear, especially doing crazy designs like tribal patterns etc., maybe you should question why MEN don't wear it more often. ;-)

AGREED.

Like everything "bad", make-up can be a beautiful thing, depending on the context and how rarely it's used. Say you only applied make up as part of a spiritual ritual, for example.

I just think any makeup is freakin creepy.

Hey Starfire, what is your diet like to have such nice skin? My skin is a bit dull and I wonder if I'm missing something critical.

ok thats great that you have never been induced with junk in your life. a lot of the stuff that caused me stress and dis-ease might not have occured had i not had junk ... sigh!!!
anyways your diet sounds great!
I never had great skin and i love this advice. but of course am sure my body is finding the way and it will pick up its own guides. am very open to all possibilities. but of course cant go back to anything less than high raw as i am now. my body reacts otherwise.
i havent been doing too great with nuts and seeds either lately. too hard to digest ...even when soaked for hours on end. sprouts are still good and energising but nothing like a fresh raw drink!
thank you for all your helpful advice!

You are lucky to have been raised on a healthy diet - I've never had good skin and I was raised on a junk food diet. My mom never served veggies or fresh fruit. I made the decision myself when I was 17 to partake in the diet I have now, but by then I was already sick with terrible acne.

I can't do nuts/seeds or bananas either. Makes me breakout terribly. Citrus and tomatoes cause me problems too. I've also noticed since eating as much organic as possible my skin problems have diminished.

I agree with aishwarya, it's great to get wonderful advice. :) Thank you for sharing!
