Organic makeup

Bare Minerals if I do wear makeup at all.
Like on a date or something.
Otherwise - Au naturale is beautiful

If anyone is interested, their website is everydayminerals dot com. (I can't post links yet.)

Thanks! Ordering my sample kit now. This is great because I've wanted to try mineral makeup but didn't really know where to start.

I order the sample kit, tried it out and loved it. I went ahead and ordered the full size kit and have been using it for a couple of weeks now. I'm very happy with the products. Shipping is very quick too.

Right now, I'm using Arbonne. I've used Bare Minerals too.

I'd love to try bare minerals, but wondering if with combination skin (I breakout some) if it would work for me? Any thoughts? I'm using Almay skin cleaning foundation & powder... definitely not organic. I LOVE Burt's Bees lip balm & tinted lip gloss, but haven't tried other products yet... again wondering about skin type & breaking out. Ya'll are really making me want to try some new products!

If you order the sample kit from everydayminerals.com, you will only be out the $3.09. That's the cost of shipping--the kit is free. They have 4 different formula types, which is based on skin type. Semi-matte is for normal to combination and matte is for normal to oily. I felt the samples were a generous size and you will be able to use the products multiple times. This should help you gage if the products will work for you. It may be worth a shot because you aren't going to be out very much.

Lissa5168 recommended everydaymineral when I posted the thread and she may be able to give you more feedback. She has been using them a lot longer. I can tell you that I have been very happy in just the short time that I have used them.
