I was looking back through my posts and I see that I write about mineral makeup a lot. A whole lot. Ladies, there is more to eco-friendly, good-for-you-beauty, than mineral makeup. Here are a few options that I found at Sephora…

Mom and I were shopping at Costco this weekend and we found these Kirkland by Borghese Mineral Makeup kits for $24.99.  I went back and forth…get it, don’t get it, get it, don’t get it, but honestly how could I pass it up?  So, I didn’t.

That stuff was heavy and uncomfortable and felt like a mask. Yuck.
Estee Lauder’s new mineral makeup called Nutritious is infused with minerals, vitamins, and pomegranate. It’s available in a loose …read more
