So I recently found a makeup that I am IN LOVE with! It took me a while since my dermatology clinic stopped selling Glo Minerals - which is an AWESOME mineral makeup by the way. And I know what you're saying, there are LOADS of great makeups out there! But I have horribly sensitive skin and thus cannot wear makeup that you can find anywhere. And even though the clinic started selling another brand, I was in the midst of moving to Arizona, so I could no long buy from them since it was a local clinic. I thought about trying Bare Minerals, but they're too darn expensive for my blood (so was Glo, but I got a SUPER discount since my father works at the clinic).
So I decided to shop on Etsy for some samples. One shop that I had always seen in the treasuries that make it to the front page was Beneficial Minerals. I'm usually reluctant to buy makeup off the internet, but I needed something, so I shopped around their site and found a set of four samples in 5g jars. This makeup is 100% vegan, and is handmade my a woman in Washington State. This mini color matching set was only $8 (+ $2.69 S&H), so I figured I would give it a go. I got all the lightest colors - pale girl is pale - and waited for it to show up on my doorstep.
Needless to say I was the lightest of the 4 that I got (fair - no surprise there) and I have used about half of the 5g jar so far - which is sad.
The thing that I like about mineral makeup is that it covers EVERYTHING, I have never experienced such an ease of use with any synthetic make up. You use your little kabuki brush, swipe it on and you're good. If I wasn't so darn pale I wouldn't need blush with this. And the awesome thing is, after years of using mineral makeup, it is the only makeup that doesn't make you look like you're wearing anything because the particles are so small that when they warm up to the temp of your skin it seases to look powdery and stuff.
Lastly, since I made this purchase I got an email from her with a 15% coupon code (please email me for the coupon code using the email listed below, I will respond within 24 hours) for anyone that wants to use it, until the end of the year. If you include my email (craftyelephant@gmail.com) in the comments to the seller when you check out she sends me a goodie as well!!!! So don't forget!~ ^^
