My Miracle Minerals: Prescriptives All Skins Mineral Makeup.

/

Prescriptives All Skins Mineral Makeup is a miracle product for me. Why a miracle? Because this mineral makeup is not making me itch. I have so wanted to wear loose mineral makeup. Not for the extra time it takes to apply or the mess that can be involved. I wanted to wear a mineral makeup that looks like my skin, without heavy foundation covering all of my freckles and age spots. With natural sunscreen coverage and all the benefits that come from the naturally occurring properties in the minerals themselves. And now I have it - my miracle minerals!

I am not itching! I am not itching! There is no redness involved either. That happens when I try some brands of mineral foundations, along with the awful itch that I get which tends to get worse in the heat or when I sweat. 



So, I have only been experimenting with this makeup for a few days now. But it has been hot, and I have been sweating a bit. And this is lasting through all of the that without any the usual side effects I get. The first day I used it, I noticed that my skin felt felt a bit dry, or tight around my mouth and eyes, but that was easily remedied with me using a day cream instead of my usual day lotion. Not a big deal at all. I cannot tell you how thrilled I am.

Prescriptives All Skins Mineral Makeup has a natural SPF 15 built in with countless vitamins, minerals and gems. The powerful combination makes skin look naturally radiant and unbelievably healthy. Somehow I got lucky with my color which is a Level 3 Warm Light. It totally blends with my faux-tan and now I need to wait until it fades to find the perfect shade to match my real skin. You know I will be heading to the counter for that because there is a full range of 18 shades that can probably match just about any skin shades, from the very lightest to very dark.

Thank you Prescriptives! Your mineral makeup is truly a miracle product for someone with sensitive skin like me. Maybe that is why you called it All Skins?

 

The Colossal Volum' Express from Maybelline.

My sister was over just as I was delivered this newbie from Maybelline, so I let her do another guest post-

Wearing mascara is a must for me!  I have been blessed to have been given long lashes, but if they are not curled and have mascara on them, they pretty much stick straight out and my eyes look tiny! With that said, when I first I tried this new mascara from Maybelline called Colossal Volum' Express, I flipped and jumped with joy in my bathroom!

This mascara makes my lashes look voluminous without drying or caking- with just one single coat of the mascara. And more importantly my lashes now have the much needed volume to make my eyes pop.  It lasted through the day and didn't smudge or streak. Taking it off was a breeze with normal cleanser too.

The secret of this magic wand lies in it's oversized brush and unique, thickening formula with collagen. The patented brush provides ample surface area to connect with each lash while the smaller bristles seek out even the smaller lashes, you know the ones in the inner and outer corners.  The unique formula’s fine wax is what helps to prevent the clumps while collagen and moisturizing jojoba oil provide a quick, generous effect on the lashes. 

Instant volume, instant wow! And the fact that Colossal Volum' Express can be picked up at the drugstore is another win-win situation, no? And for $7.47 it is a must-have mascara eye popper.
