Girl Talk
It's not very often that I go mad for anything makeup related...but our adventures in the life of raw have brought me to using mineral makeup and I just have to talk about it! I am one of those people who cannot stand to put anything on my face that has a smell, scent, fragrance or perfume. It drives me nuts to wear lipstick or lip gloss if there is the tiniest hint of smell associated with it! Ewwwwwwwwwwww! So....with that in mind, I am in LOVE with this lip gloss: Lip Sheer from La Bella Donna. It ain't cheap and I'm totally not on their payroll. Just figured some of you might have the same dilemma as me and want to look and feel nice but it's hard to choose when the prices are so high these days.
I also got the Loose Mineral Powder and apply it wet with a sponge. Nothing short of an amazing finish. Just very very nice and lovely on the skin! Wow. I feel like all of you will say, Share, but we have known about this stuff for years, where have you been? Well, if it's common knowledge, then I apologize. I do tend to live in a television-free bubble of an existence! ha!
On the ultra cheap and lovely smelling makeup removal side....I now use Organic Non-GMO coconut oil to remove my eye makeup. I know I said I hated smelly stuff....but this is naturally smelly and it is so nice!
Okay. That's it. I'm going back to being my usual punk ass smart ass self now..........
Thanks for the quick review. I've always wondered about the application of the mineral make up - is it a pain, or simple?
I use Origins Pure cream to take off my [mounds] of eye makeup. It smells like ginger.

I've used La Bella Donna and I love it. I feel the same way about most makeup. I have never heard of using coconut oil to remove cosmetics though. Nice tip!
Well anyway... Nice blog.
Sincerely,
Denise :)
