Gluten Free Recommendation: More Maybelline Products, and a Cover Girl Product

Wow!  SS surprised me, in the care package I received yesterday, with some lip liners and eyeliners!  After finding out that the Maybelline mascara I always liked is gluten free, she did some more checking when I said the only thing I had left to find, now, was lip liners and eyeliners.  And guess what.  Maybelline COLORsenstaional lip liners, Define-A-Line eyeliner, and Line Express eyeliner are all gluten free!  I’m so happy about being able to go into a drug store and buy makeup products I can use.

Sister calls SS the Gluten Nazi.  She means it as a compliment, of course.  They know each other; we do conference calls where we all three talk to each other.  That always makes me laugh, when she says that, because SS does go above and beyond.  She makes me feel so cared for and so loved.  She’s in the process of going completely gluten free herself, so that I won’t ever have to worry about cross-contamination being with her or in her house.

And for anyone who is looking for gluten free mascara who would like more choice, SS also found out that her favorite kind, Cover Girl Volume Exact, is gluten free as well (but not the waterproof type; be careful).

I really hope that companies who produce not only food but also items like cosmetics, toiletries, household cleaners, etc., will begin adding “gluten free” to their labels when it applies.  That would not only be very helpful for those of us who are gluten intolerant, but it would also reduce their incoming phone calls, inquiring, and would help them to gain a larger part of the market among people like me (and celiacs are a loyal bunch if you make a product that doesn’t make us sick; we’ll tell everyone we know!)
