Swap your old mascara for some all natural, non-toxic, mascara!

Have you ever stopped before you brushed that mascara onto your beautiful lashes and thought, "Hmm, I wonder what chemicals are in this?"   Well, your beautiful eyes are being exposed to parabens (hello unwanted breast cancer!), phthlates and ehtyl acetate (harsh on them vital organs!), diazolidinyl urea (releases formaldehyde=BAD), and many more!!!
Too many crazy science words?
Just remember this:  all those chemicals get soaked in through our skin, without us even knowing, and that means direct access to the bloodstream. That, my friend, can not be good.  So here's my challenge for you, try going all natural!  You don't have to completely ditch the luxury of painting those lashes, just make smart choices about what kind of paint you put on them! 
I did the liberty of finding some smart (not to mention very affordable) choices for mascara if you feel so inclined to make the switch now then I say.... DO IT!!! :)
(Don't worry, I looked into all the ingredients of these mascaras that sound like they'd be scary chemicals but they are actually all natural ingredient based! Coast is clear!)
100% natural mascara lengthens, separates, thickens and glosses lashes with fruit and black tea pigments. It conditions your lashes in vitamins and Oat and Wheat proteins for healthier lashes. Gentle, all natural, good for you formulas suitable for everyone, even if you wear contacts or have sensitive eyes. Water and smudge resistant:
