A bust!

Yeah so Bare Minerals was a bust! My face was looking wack in all kinds of ways. Fortunatley I found a MAC alternative that I like a lot, and I also stumbled across an operation called MilanMinerals by a woman who makes mineral based makeup for women of color, [And now our porcelain and lighter sisters as well. I've orded some samples and can't wait to try them out. I'll post pics once I do! Also the prices are great so I really hope I like them, plus supporting black business is a great thing too.

In the meantime here is a glance at I look that I recreated from a Chloe ad. Cute if I do say so myself!



The Chloe ad












and... Me!

















UPDATE! UPDATE! UPDATE!!!!!

I soon realized that the Natural Mineralize Skinfinish wasn't going to cut it as a summer foundation alternative. I like it, and decided not to return it, but it took the heaviest hand just to look like I was wearing anything at all. So I broke down and went where I always go when faced with a foundation/powder dilema - I went to my tried and true Prescriptives counter, and I shelled out some serious money to get another Custom Blend powder, this time for summer, and I've been using it ever since. As usual with Px and especially their Custom Blend products, I love it. I still find uses for the Natural MSF though.
