Pros
Easy site to navigate with vivid colors to make choosing fun and easy. The ingredients, which are the main selling point, are clearly displayed with each product.
Cons
Every brand of makeup contains some questionable ingredients but Afterglow has managed to omit most and is in a relatively small group of brands that we consider acceptable. The products are expensive but come in large containers so you get more (buy samples if you're not sure).
