I have a new found love –mineral makeup… this is awesome.. its like you can still wear makeup and it wont damage your face. I’ve been wearing makeup for years mainly to cover up my acne and scars from acne. My sister linked me to Everyday Minerals [http://www.everydayminerals.com] about three months ago and since then i’ve been hooked. Their stuff is awesome. Lately I’ve purchased other mineral makeup, but have not tried them. However, I think mineral makeup is the way to go now for girls/women who wear makeup. I will followup on this post.. but I just thought i’ll share this info with you.
