Let’s get this straight, right up front. I am not a mineral makeup girl – but not for lack of trying. A few years ago, one of the first things I ordered from QVC was a starter kit from Bare Escentuals. I got it, apparently didn’t use it right (I think I didn’t buff it enough, but whatevs), hated it because it looked funny on and itched like the dickens, and sent it back. So, many years go by. Mineral makeup has become all the rage. I figure that I must have done something wrong, I clearly am missing out on something, and I need to be convinced to try it again.
Enter Ms. Robyn on twitter. (*You guys know how I love me some twitter folk.) Robyn runs an independent business called “Purely Cosmetics”, and that is exactly what it is – purely milled cosmetics that doesn’t contain “bismuth, talc, micronized minerals, or other skin irritants”. We got to chatting and after she found out a bit more about my skin, she was generous enough to send me out some products to try, including some color products, along with the foundation.
