However, Crunchi has defined toxin-free as the following: A product is considered toxin-free if it does not contain any ingredients known to cause harm or health hazard based on available ingredient data and research. At this time there is no standardized definition for the term “toxin-free”. Crunchi's Toxin-Free Definitionīased on available research, to the best of our knowledge, the ingredients in these products do not contain harmful toxins. Before making any purchases, figure out what is important to you, based on your own research, and then choose what to buy from there. From what I can tell, there's no standard definition out there, so brands have the liberty to define it in whatever way is convenient for them and their products. I'd like to caveat this post by encouraging you to do your homework if you're feeling overwhelmed by what "clean beauty" actually means. Nonetheless, I gave the products a try-clean or otherwise-and I'm sharing my honest review of Crunchi makeup with you today. From the small amount of research I've done thus far, I can say that there really is so much to learn and, to be honest, I'm not totally sure I'm on the "clean-living" bandwagon just yet-as many experts in the field argue that this is more of a marketing tactic than a health concern. Something about having a new little baby made me want to ensure I wasn't unknowingly introducing her to harmful products. I first began to research the concept of toxin-free beauty when I had my daughter, Josephine. Now, let me start by saying that clean beauty is still somewhat new to me. Why I wanted to Review a Toxin-Free Beauty Brand What led me to try toxin-free beauty The whole process takes me about 10 minutes, and most of that is because I'm doing my best to keep my toddler from taking things out of my hands along the way! The others I use are mascara, a setting powder, and a highlighter. The above four products have become part of my daily makeup routine, utilizing only clean beauty brands and products. I find myself reapplying this throughout the day, but I'm okay with that because I like its light not-too-sticky formula. The only thing I will say about this product is that it doesn't have the same lasting power as the others. I had sampled it in Kayt's care package so I already knew I liked the consistency. After going through my current beauty products, I realized that none of my lip products were "clean" and opted instead for lipgloss. I originally planned on purchasing the highlighter but did a hail mary at the last minute (did I just use a sports reference? Who am I? I've definitely been hanging around Arnie too much with this stay-home order in place). The shade is just subtle enough on my skin to add dimension without looking like makeup. I apply a very light application on my cheekbones and forehead for a bit of color. There's only one color option and the packaging almost reminded me of the Bare Minerals "warmth" powder that I used back in college. I talked with Kayt, who agreed that bronzer could be used in lieu of blush when putting together a quick look, so I opted for this. I really debated this product against the blush because I wanted a realistic beauty routine that I could do in no more than 10 minutes (while holding a toddler). With the Smart Primer, this stuff is still going strong by 5:00 p.m. It doesn't even feel like I'm wearing makeup to be honest. The coverage is exceptional but it doesn't feel cakey at all. I'm not usually one for a thick foundation so I apply about half of a pump to the back of my hand, and then dab it onto my cheeks, forehead, and chin before blending with a brush. Seriously, this foundation is amazing in terms of coverage and lasting power. This primer is lightweight enough that it isn't causing me to break out or react, and it helps to keep my foundation in place all day long. As far as the performance of the products, I have tried and (spoiler alert!) LOVED these four products: Smart Primer
