I guess the title is a bit miss leading, but not really.
I was just scrolling through Pinterest and found a picture with what beauty products that are worn by 86% of the world. Are these really giving you positive affects than a time waster and a few compliments? Get natural, ladies and gents.
Disclaimer: because the picture is a little hard to read, I can't make out all of the chemicals and some are just too long and messed up to spell, I will not be putting them. Research more into this if you would like.
