Get Your Gluten Free Pretty On! Red Apple Gluten Free Lipstick

There is nothing like a little bright lipstick to perk you up and give your mood a boost!

I love lipstick!
red lipstick,
pink lipstick,
frosty you name it

 I love lipstick ... but it has to be
GLUTEN FREE!

I'm picky about my lipstick.
It must be soft,
natural ingredients,
good long lasting color,
moisturizing,
allergen free,
paraben free,
look great on ...
and most important as I mentioned before
GLUTEN FREE!

I like it when the lipstick stains my lips too so the color lasts.  The only thing that I know that does that are beets ... but 

um ... 

not so convenient ...

less messy

than crushing up beets ....

Red Apple Lipsticks 

are the answer for me! 

I recently chatted with the owner and founder of Red Apple Lipstick - Jay Adam Harper from Houston, Texas.  I asked him a few questions and this is what he had to say about his products.

What made you decide to go into the Gluten Free Lipstick business?
The reality is that I really simply wanted to design a world class lipstick. Over 4 years ago, I realized that this was NOT going to happen with any Chinese based company. This decision led me to assemble a team of cosmetic chemists in the USA. It was this brilliant team that educated me as to the dangers of paraben and its relation to breast cancer first. This then naturally led to conversations about overall safety which certainly included the topic of gluten. The team said it would be difficult but I know, when there is a will, there is a way. So 3 years down the road from there, a formula was perfected and poof, there you have it.

Do you or anyone you know have Celiac Disease?
Honestly, when I started this project I did not. However over the years almost everyone I know now is Celiac. I further truly believe that a LOT more people have a gluten intolerance without even knowing it, including myself.

Do you plan on adding other Gluten Free make up products in the future?
Absolutely! We already have eye shadow in beta testing :). We are just about to release Balmshell, the world's most perfect lip balm. We have lip pencils in beta. We have foundation, blush, rouge, eye pencils, eyebrow pencils and more in formula production now. You can certainly expect an entire line of cosmetics and signature accessories in the future. And just wait until you see our lip concealer.

There is a rumor that a woman will ingest 3-10 pounds of lipstick in her lifetime.  

I somewhat believe that as a truth because if it is going in your mouth or 

on your skin you are absorbing it.

  I'm not sure what amount is actually true nor will I take the time to research it.  

I can say that from wearing lipstick for many, many years since I was a wee little one playing dress up,

 I was all about the lipstick!  

Just think about it ...

every time you take a sip, bite or kiss someone you will consume 

the lipstick, balm or gloss that you are wearing.  

If you have Celiac Disease and are Gluten Free 

it is very important to wear a lip product that is natural and free of allergens including Gluten!

Jay sent me some samples of Red Apple Lipstick that I picked out.  

I couldn't wait and was very excited to try them on.  

Of course I went for the red first!  

Just like the name it is RED! 

I love love love it! 

I also picked out Strawberry Lips

and a package of small samples 

3 Light Nights which includes - 3 little trials of 

French Skirt, Ruby Slippers and RED!

I liked all 3 but love 

French Skirt and RED!

Each sample comes with 3 little brushes and in a bag.  

It is a great way to try the colors without committing to a tube.

The sample pack is $6.

Each color has a description and a picture to help you choose a lipstick tube. 

There are also customer reviews so that you can see what real customers are saying about 

the color as well.

I love it because it is mineral based, soft, light, moisturizing and lasts! 

Red Apple Gluten Free Lipsticks are made with Vitamin E, Shea Butter.

I know what you are thinking.  I thought the same thing, ordering my lipstick online? 

But how can I really see and judge a lipstick from the screen on my computer? 

I thought the same thing but not only is shipping free from Red Apple Lipstick it is 100% Guaranteed.

If you do not like the product and you return it within 30 days and get a refund.  Look at their site for more details about their policy and answers to frequently asked questions.

The other thing that I really love is that Red Apple Lipstick products are made in the USA!

I support "Made in the USA" products!

Speaking of which...

they are so confident that you will love Red Apple Lipstick like I do!

They have a Lipstick Exchange Program

All I know is that I can't wait to get more colors!  My Gluten Free Red Apple Lipstick has not left my purse since I got it.  I wear them all the time - the hardest part is deciding which color to wear!
