    Amazing blog, thank you so much!

    It seems that the Makeup Revolution Hyaluronic Fixing Spray has an ingredient from the retinoid family (lower in the list), I suppose it isn’t safe? 🙁

    Aqua, Alcohol Denat., Propylene Glycol, Benzyl Alcohol, Amp-Acrylates/Allyl Methacrylate Copolymer, Sodium Hyaluronate, Dehydroacetic Acid, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Tocopheryl Acetate, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Retinyl Palmitate, Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil, Panthenol, Sorbitol, Linseed Acid, Aesculus Hippocastanum Seed Extract, Sodium Benzoate, BHT.

      Yeah, I would consider it to be unsafe in pregnancy and I would avoid it while nursing if you’re being conservative. Sorry!

    I wasn’t aware that the Elf matte magic mist and set is not safe for pregnancy. I used half of the small bottle and I’m 17 weeks pregnant, would that effect my baby ?
