Vegan clear cream liner!

Post by Emily » Sun Dec 06, 2009 6:22 pm

A vegan clear cream liner would be a great addition to SN.

I'm allergic to beeswax, so most of the more natural primer options out there won't work for me. :(

Heck, any vegan cream liners would be super-appreciated by both vegans and me.

I thought i was the only one allergic to the cream liner. I'm allergic to soy. I can tolerate it in the lippies but if i put a cream liner anywhere near the waterliner my eyes get super red and itchy for days

Xarata, I haven't tried it because I KNOW it'd give me burny eyes. I'm also kinda bummed that the Clinique Black Honey dupe has beeswax, because that's guaranteed to give me nasty blisters.

Isn't it awful to be allergic to a nice, natural product that's supposed to be so good for us? It makes me want to develop low-allergen vegan versions of things myself.

That's the first I've heard of a beeswax allergy- but that's sort of the first rule of owning a cosmetics company- pretty much anyone can be allergic to anything any time. I absolutely understand your frustration though...I'm allergic to a very common preservative and that's the reason we have a skin care line.

I don't think I'm going to do a vegan cream liner at the moment, but the mixing medium is a very very viable option for lining, and it's vegan. I'm always batting around ideas for a primer, but still haven't come up with anything super amazing (it's been years).

Ooh! I have the mixing medium in my cart. I'll have to play with that when I order.

It is an annoying allergy, but after months of no lip products at all except Vaseline and EDM's Everywheres and being fine (and starting an OCM experiment with olive and castor oils that had no ill results except for being time consuming), I tried plain Badger Balm (olive oil, castor oil, beeswax) and the blisters came back. Mascara had been giving me burny eyes for a while, too. Guess what the most common wax in those is?

Your clear vegan lip gloss is great. :) I have Bisou and Swank in my cart, too.

If you're allergic to the same preservative I'm thinking of (one I try to avoid), then thanks for offering an option without it! I've had so many "wouldn't it be nice if..." moments with my own allergies, and I can see how those get spun off into product lines.

I have been using the mixing medium to make liner from my shawdows since I got mine, last week. I find it easy to use, no problems with my eyes burning, stinging, etc. I have the cream liners and I do use them, but can only use them for one day, and then I have to go back to wet lining , or my eyes start to burn, so the mixing medium is a life saver for me.
