All of us would like to know exactly what we are putting on our bodies, right? Well, here is a breakdown of all the ingredients for Red Apple Lipstick’s “Brazilliant” lipstick.
I love these products! The lipstick is so moisturizing that my lips instantly feel better. On myself, I love the color brazilliant. In the description they say: “Each Red Apple Lipstick Product is hand crafted in the USA from the finest, highest quality materials available. Each lineup has a slightly different set of ingredients and all cosmetics are lab tested 100% gluten free.” I have been going gluten free myself in order to live a healthier lifestyle (because gluten causes sugar spikes and inflammation), so this was a perfect choice! Each of their lipsticks have a slightly different ingredient list to get the color and effect desired.
