Pretty & Pink Twink Question....

Post by la_canadiense(01) » Mon Feb 01, 2010 2:26 pm

Hey, just wondering if anyone knows if either of these contain carmine? I heard that Karen doesn't use carmine for any GWP but I never saw that written anywhere myself (sorry if I missed where she put this...and anyhow, pink twink is older so...)...so just checking.
thanks for the help!

Not sure if this applies to Pink Twink, but yes, Karen did say she doesn't use carmine in the GWP shadows:
karen wrote:All of the GWP shadows are vegan since we made the switch to vegan in the fall- so if you've ordered anything since about October or so they're all vegan. I'm pretty conservative with the GWP ingredients. We never use carmine, ferric ferrocyanide, dyes, or ultramarines in them (those are the 4 big classes of ingredients where you have to be a little bit careful about where you apply them)- so you can apply them anywhere and not worry about it. It's why you almost never see a blue GWP color because there aren't a lot of ways to make blue without ultramarines or ffc.

Karen's pretty good at answering emails, I bet she could tell you if you contacted her through the site, or put Attn Karen in the subject :)
