Gluten Free Makeup!'; digg_bodytext = '\n\n\n\nMakeup is one of those things we celiacs kind of forget about, but it can be a big issue, lots of ingredients, chemicals, and whatnot so how do you know what’s “safe?” After a few too many breakouts and puff-ups after spending a fortune at the makeup counter, I need a consultant!  Luckily I have a makeup artist in the family to demy'; Makeup is one of those things we celiacs kind of...

CLICK HERE FOR THE RECIPE and more pics(food porn)! With the popularity of this recipe, their server has been overwhelmed recently.  Bookmark this and come back to it...
