In reply to Katie.

Katie, that really annoys me too, and I’m not a chemist. I can imagine how much it annoys you. I completely agree with everything you said. Natural isn’t better than synthetic or vice versa, it just depends on the ingredients. Some are good, some are bad, regardless of their origin. It’s a shame the word chemical has acquired such a bad reputation, as a lot of chemicals are very good for us.

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the post. 🙂

The chemical one always bothers me because it suggests that synthetic chemicals are the devils spawn whereas natural things are beautiful and lovely (I can forgive non-scientists for only associating chemical with the synthetic variety). It’s the same kind of thing that suggests that synthetic variants of chemicals aren’t as good or are more dangerous than naturally extracted counterparts, which is by and large utter rubbish and often the opposite is true. Admittedly as a chemist I do get a bit personal about it.

Long tangent aside, this is a brilliant blog post. I do really love how you dispel myths and claims 🙂

In reply to Mylanqolia. Mylanqolia, mascara claims are so ridiculous, aren't they? They always claim to make lashes 10x bigger or something, and never deliver. And thank goodness for that, cos would want lashes that big and long?! And I fear that "suitable for every lash type" is something we may see sooner rather than later too. *sighs*
