The following website is great for checking on the toxicity of your makeup, and skin care products. I use it all the time before I buy anything now! They give every product a hazard score of 1-10, with 1 being the best and 10 the worst, and also list the bad chemicals.
I was actually surprised at how bad some of things I was using were.... and now, buy a lot of my products from MotherNature.com
http://safecosmetics.org/
When you get to their home page, in the top left click on "What's in Your Products", then on that page click on EWG's Skin Deep Database, then click on visit skin deep and enter the name of the product you are checking out.
Let me all know what you think!

I've noticed lately that my mascara (Maybelline, pink and green one) makes my eyes water. Just started happening too. I thought maybe they were getting old and needed a new one. My eyeshadow is bothering me also.
I usually wear Almay but for some reason this time I bought something else and I feel like I'm wearing a mask. I only put makeup on about every other or third day and just wash my face in between times.
I'm going to check into the the mineral ones but I have 'mature' skin now and need some extra moisturizing. 
For some 'venting'-type of entertainment, please read my blog, http://lostadventuresintrucking.blogspot.com .

Try L'BRI
I have problems with most of the products out there but have found that their cleaning system to be great. I have not tried their makeup yet but you can order samples which lasted me 2 weeks.
