Hello, Lovelies! I'one thousand back with some other makeup brand review. I previously reviewed Due east.L.F. Cosmetics (to read this review, click hither). This time nosotros are looking at Urban Decay and spotlighting some of their best and worst health rated products. As usual I use world wide web.goodguide.com and world wide web.ewg.org/skindeep to get these ratings. Below I have listed current ratings as of this writing. Don't forget: product formulations are constantly irresolute so you may want to double check scores before purchasing. For Good Guide (gg), x=no toxin, 5-9=low toxin, iii-four=moderate toxin, 0-ii=loftier toxin so the higher the number the better. As for Peel Deep (sd), the ratings are opposite of Skilful Guide; 0=no toxin, 1-2=low toxin, three-6=moderate toxin, 7-ten=high toxin then the lower the number the better. I included prices if available, merely don't fret, ebay and amazon are always loaded with discontinued makeup. I included ratings on d/c'd products in example you have them in your stash. Let's highlight some of their depression-toxin products first. Urban Disuse has quite a few depression-toxin products.

Guardian affections spray moisturizer SPF 8 (gg 6)

Stardust sparkling lip glosses in andromeda and space cowboy (gg 6)

Midnight cowboy torso shimmer lotion (gg v)

Worst:

It would take too long to list all 500 or so poorly rated products, so I'll highlight a few.

Naked ane palette of 12 shadows (gg 0); $50

Urban brow styling brush and setting gel (gg 4); $20

Urbanglow Foam Highlight in the shade Moonshine (gg four); $24

Many eyeshadow colors (also many to list), hither's an example of a few: cobra, blackout, hunt, maui wowi (gg 0-4), $18

Big fatty waterproof mascaras (gg 2-four); $20

24/7 glide-on shadow pencils (gg iv); $20

The black palette (gg 4)

Loose pigments (gg 0)

Surreal skin mineral makeup and Surreal cream to powder foundations (gg 0, sd iii+); $31 and $35 respectively

De-slick mattifying face powder (sd 3); $32

Naked skin dazzler balm (sd v); $fourteen-34 depending on size

Afterglow glide on cheek tint (gg iii-4); $24

24/7 Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner (gg 0); $xix

Ultraglide lip glosses and xxx smoothen glosses (gg 0)

These bad scores are due to ingredients such as silica, butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), propylene glycol, triethanolamine, and multiple parabens. These are linked to health concerns such as cancer, organ toxicity, hormone disruption, and cellular level changes. Overall, Urban Decay health product ratings are ii.8, their social responsibility rating is 3.2, and their ecology responsibility rating is also iii.2 (none likewise impressive).

And then judge for yourself if Urban Disuse is the right brand for yous. Most of their depression-toxin products, while costly, are highly pigmented, cute, and have neat staying power. And think that not all high-cease makeup makes for good health quality products.
