Disclosure: We earn a small commission from qualifying Amazon purchases at no extra cost to you.

This page explains how this website handles visitor data, why cookies are used, and what choices readers have. It also collects the other standing policies that govern the site: our affiliate disclosure, editorial standards and general terms of use. It applies to every page published here, including articles about prestige lip, eye and cheek cosmetics.

About This Website

This website publishes research-based written guides on prestige lip, eye and cheek cosmetics. Pages are compiled from publicly available information: brand-published ingredient lists and product descriptions, shade and finish specifications, published pricing at the time of writing, and guidance issued by public agencies. Nothing on this site is based on first-hand product testing, and no clinical, dermatological or professional cosmetic advice is offered.

Where a claim concerns product safety or consumer protection, we prefer official public sources over marketing copy. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission publishes consumer product safety information at cpsc.gov [S1], and USA.gov publishes general consumer protection information at usa.gov [S2]. Readers with a specific safety concern, a reaction to a cosmetic product, or a dispute with a seller should consult those official resources directly rather than relying on any summary published here.

Affiliate Disclosure

This website participates in the Amazon Associates Program. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.

In plain terms: some links on this site point to products listed on Amazon. If a reader follows one of those links and completes a qualifying purchase, this site may receive a small commission from Amazon. The reader pays nothing extra; the price is the same whether a link here is used or not. Commissions are paid by the retailer out of its own margin.

Affiliate participation does not decide what appears on this site or how it is described. Coverage decisions and the wording of any assessment are made independently of whether a product carries a commission. Prices, availability and product details change frequently and are always confirmed on the retailer's own page at the moment of purchase, never assumed from what is written here.

General information about consumer protection, including how commercial claims are handled, is published by USA.gov [S2].

Privacy Policy

What is collected. This website may use standard web analytics to understand how pages are found and read. Analytics data typically includes pages viewed, time on page, approximate geographic region derived from IP address, referring website or search engine, device type, browser and operating system. Server logs may record IP addresses and request times as a routine part of hosting.

Cookies and similar technologies. Cookies are small files stored by a browser. This site may use them for basic functionality, for aggregate analytics measurement, and for affiliate attribution. Affiliate cookies record that a visit to a retailer originated from a link here, so that any qualifying purchase can be credited correctly. Cookies set by third parties, including analytics providers and retailers, are governed by those parties' own privacy policies.

How data is used. Data is used in aggregate to measure which content is useful, to detect technical errors and abuse, and to attribute affiliate referrals. It is not used to build advertising profiles by this site, and reader data is not sold.

Opting out. Cookies can be blocked, limited or deleted through browser settings, and most browsers offer a private browsing mode that discards them at the end of a session. Blocking analytics or affiliate cookies does not restrict access to any article on this site. Where a cookie consent notice is displayed, choices made there are respected.

Retention. Analytics records are kept only as long as needed for trend measurement, and server logs are retained on the ordinary schedule of the hosting provider.

Terms of Service

Content on this website is provided for general informational purposes only. It is not legal, medical, dermatological or professional advice, and no such advice is offered here. Readers use the information at their own discretion and remain responsible for their own purchasing decisions.

Written content and page layouts are protected by copyright. Brand names, product names and trademarks belong to their respective owners and are used descriptively only. Short quotations with attribution and a link are permitted; wholesale reproduction is not.

This site is provided on an as-is basis, without warranty of accuracy, completeness or fitness for a particular purpose. Prices, formulations, shade ranges and availability change without notice. External links are provided for convenience, and this site is not responsible for the content or practices of external websites.

Editorial Policy

Every page states plainly what it is based on. Descriptive detail is drawn from brand-published material; safety and consumer-rights statements are drawn from public agency sources such as cpsc.gov [S1] and usa.gov [S2]. Marketing language is not repeated as fact, and claims that cannot be supported are omitted rather than softened.

Pages are dated and revised when source information changes. If an error is identified, the page is corrected and, where the correction is material, a note is added recording what changed. Corrections are treated as routine maintenance rather than exceptions.

No contact route has been configured for this website at present. When one is published, it will appear on this page.
