New Make-up

I haven’t gushed about my make-up lately, so I feel like I’m due.

I think by now, most of the make-up I wear is mineral make-up. Now that I know what is in most of the crap that you can buy at Wal-Mart, I just can’t see putting that mess on my face.

Anyway, I’ve switched to Everyday Minerals, who have great, great products- lots of colors and four foundation formulas so it works for all skin types. They are also cheap and they always have great specials. I was almost out of foundation, so I placed an order for the six piece custom kit. It was $32 and I got to pick six products that I wanted. It isn’t like the kits where you have to pick two foundations, one blush, one finishing powder and two brushes whether you need them or not. Ironically enough, I did order two foundations, one blush and one finishing powder- but I only ordered one brush and got a container of Pick Me Up Pink Concealer. The brush I got was the Premium Flat Top Brush. I firmly believe that if everyone who tried mineral make-up used this brush, everyone would switch immediately. It is as soft as anything I’ve ever felt on my face and it applies the foundation evenly. I absolutely love it! I also love my new blush.

I may be in the minority, but I can remember my first make-up. My first blush was from Cover Girl and it was called Natural Glow. My new blush from EM is called Natural and it looks a lot like my first blush. It’s very light with a subtle shimmer. I used it as an eyeshadow base yesterday and it worked great.

I also ordered the Green Tea Everywear cream that is doing a number on my scaly elbows. With all of that- I got a free bonus gift. I love free stuff! I got three brushes and two full sized eyeshadows. Gingerbread Man is pretty but it looks almost just like Comfy. Tinsel Time is gorgeous! It’s an antique gold with a greenish tint. I use it as a lid color with In the Garden in the crease. All of that cost me $38, including shipping.
