I get asked about makeup all the time. People want to know what I recommend, what I use, what is safe etc. Up until recently I was recommending EverydayMinerals.com – they have good products at a good price. But then I tried PurelyCosmetics.com – Robyn Bloom hand blends this mineral makeup. It is totally natural – and the reason I like it so much is that it is the smoothest and lightest mineral makeup I have found. I use her “skin smoothing” formula – and it has not only the mica and titanium dioxide that you normally find, but also silk powder and jojoba oil so it truly is smooth and silky. No irritating bismuth, chemicals, fillers or preservatives!
I have connected with Robyn via Twitter (loving twitter!) – and she has graciously agreed to offer Garden Girl customers a great discount! Simply go to http://www.purelycosmetics.com/ – place an order (minimum of $20) and use coupon code “GG“ when checking out. You’ll save 15% on your first order! Not bad!
And definitely add the “Natural Hair Foundation” flat-top brush. It’s the best brush I’ve used! It’s soft and blends effortlessly. Buy it separately or as a part of one of her kits. And another tip? If you are looking for a slightly less matte-look, rub a drop of jojoba oil in your hand before you tap out the minerals. It adds just enough extra oil to be flawless! And check out her tips on the website as well – she’s a great resource if you’re new to minerals.
