General Precaution:
- Cosmetics for adult, out of reach of children for safety.
Hand Cream
- The primary precaution is for individuals with sensitive skin or known allergies to fragrance and botanical ingredients. For everyone else, the formula is packed with beneficial and generally well-tolerated components. A patch test is always the safest first step.
Eyeshadow Palette
- Patch Test Before Use. This is the most important step. Even with common ingredients, any cosmetic can cause an allergic reaction or irritation, especially on the delicate eye area.
- Avoid Direct Contact with Eyes. The product is designed for the eyelid, not the waterline or inside the eye. Particles can cause irritation, scratching, or watering.
- Do Not Use on Broken or Irritated Skin. Applying makeup to inflamed, cut, or compromised skin can lead to infection and will delay healing.
Crystal Gloss
- Potential for Allergic Reaction: The formula contains Citrus Oils. These are known potential allergens for some individuals. If you have sensitive skin or known allergies to citrus or fragrances, use with extreme caution. Discontinue use immediately if you experience any itching, burning, swelling, or redness on the lips or surrounding skin.
- Photosensitivity Warning: Bergamot Oil is phototoxic, meaning it can make skin more sensitive to sunlight and increase the risk of sunburn or pigmentation (dark spots) after sun exposure. It is highly advisable to avoid applying this gloss immediately before prolonged sun exposure. Consider using it for evening wear or ensure you wear a protective lip balm with SPF over or under it during the day.
- Not for Compromised Skin: Do not use this product on chapped, broken, or sunburned lips. The complex mix of oils, polymers, and pigments may cause irritation or stinging on damaged skin.
- Eye Contact: As with any cosmetic product, avoid getting it into your eyes. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
- Storage: Keep the product in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat, which can degrade the oils and alter the formula's consistency.
- In summary: While the formula is luxurious for many, its use of essential oils requires caution. Always perform a patch test on your inner arm before using it on your lips, especially if you have sensitive skin or known allergies.
Glazed Rouge
- Fragrance/Oil Sensitivity: The formula contains Citrus Aurantium Bergamia (Bergamot) Fruit Oil. Bergamot oil is a known potential sensitizer and phototoxic agent. While the amount in lipstick is likely low, if you have very sensitive skin, a history of allergic reactions to citrus oils, or contact dermatitis, be cautious. Discontinue use if you experience any tingling, itching, or irritation on or around the lips.
- Potential Allergens: Acrylates Copolymer is a film-forming agent. While generally considered safe, individuals with specific acrylic or nail product allergies should be aware of its presence. CI Pigments (e.g., CI 15850, CI 77491, etc.) are the colorants. Some individuals may have rare sensitivities to specific FD&C or D&C dyes.
- General Usage Precautions:
- Application on Broken Skin: Avoid applying any lip product, including this one, on cracked, cut, or inflamed lips. The ingredients could cause further irritation or introduce bacteria into a minor wound.
- Eye Contact: This is a lip product. Avoid getting it into your eyes.
- Recommended Action: Always perform a patch test if you have known sensitivities or reactive skin. Apply a small amount to the inside of your elbow or on the skin near the corner of your mouth for a few days to see if any reaction occurs before full application on the lips.
Blush Cream
- Patch Test: Before applying to your face, test the product on a small, discreet area of skin (like behind your ear or on your inner arm) for 24-48 hours to check for any adverse reaction.
- Clean Skin: Always apply to clean skin to minimize the risk of bacteria being trapped and causing breakouts.
- Use Clean Tools: Ensure your fingers or application brushes are clean to prevent contaminating the product.
- Discontinue Use if Irritation Occurs: If you experience itching, redness, swelling, or a rash, stop using the product immediately.
Multi Purpose Cream
Perform a Patch Test: To check for allergies or breakouts, apply a small amount of the product to a discreet area like behind your ear or along your jawline. Use it for 3-5 consecutive days and monitor the area for any signs of redness, itching, swelling, or new blemishes. If none appear, it is likely safe for you to use on your face.
Use with caution if you have acne-prone or sensitive skin, always remove it thoroughly with an oil-based cleanser, and never rely on it for sun protection.
