It’s time. I have been thinking about this for a while. I love looking glamourous and feeling confident but not at the expense of my health. For months now I was thinking of cleaning up my makeup regime. I have so many favorite makeup products but many are toxic and not good for my health in the long run.
I am all about the big picture. Yes, I love these beauty products but as a biochemist I know that the chemicals are harmful to me in the future. But I love them. For the past couple of months I have been looking for options and I think I found one.
100% Pure was created by a Chemist who after picking blueberries noticed the pigments on her skin and thought that it would be cleaner approach to makeup. From that experience alone she developed a collection of makeup, skincare, hair and body care products. I had the priviledge of attending the launch of their Better Naked palette.
I attended the event and my main focus was to learn more about the brand. The room was filled with makeup stations for us to sample and try. I immediately gravitated to the lipsticks. There were so many different colors and the fragrance was so aromatic. They literally smelled like berries. I later found out that they were pigmented with fruit pigments making them less toxic. Very Interesting.

Next up I tried the Better Naked platte and loved the golden and nude hues. After speaking with the CEO of 100% Pure I came to find out glitter and shimmer eyeshadows and highlighters use plastic to create the shimmer. PLASTIC ON MY SKIN ALL DAY LONG. 100% Pure uses rushed gemstones to create the shimmer. Wow. I was super stunned and excited to know that my makeup could become jewellery.
My next thought was to look at the foundations. Unfortunately there wasn’t a shade for my beautiful chocolate skin. Being who I am, I asked about the limited shades but was super estatic to learn that 100% will be releasing 20-30 more shades of foundation and hopefully there will be a shade for me. I shall wait.
I left with a bag of goodies from the 100% Pure collection and fell in love with these products from the line.
