I ain't no Tyra Banks!


Mini drama: For a long time(before dirt existed) I suffered from cystic acne. Funny colored lumps paraded my face for um, I dunno, weeks. Months. Sometimes I gave them names! I wasn't allowed to wear make up to cover it up for fear of increasing severity. After trying everything, doctor's determined the root of my skin evil: genetics & hormones. Geniuses. That prognosis took 6+ years of medical school to solve and $120k in student loan debt. Wow!

Bare Minerals is my only saving grace. I can finally wear make up and enjoy it! Their products are talc-free to avoid the Morticia Adams look. Plus, their products are yeast-free (except for the Mineral veil) allowing the skin to be void of bacteria-causing agents. Last year, I was on the verge of a second dose of Accutane. MEGA-serious medication. But we tried over 6 different chemical peels & at least a half-dozen photo facials. At last, the cystic acne went into remission. *sigh* To keep it outta sight I've found that my skin tolerates Cetaphil lotions & cleansers. Although the minor scarring is a bummer for pictures, there's photoshop, right?

I LOVE BM's products and recommend it when you think about choosing what to use on your wedding day for MAKEUP! I also LOVE Red Earth (visit Ulta.com). They offer long-lasting mascara and eyebrow dust. Its tough matching my light blonde lashes & brows, red earth nailed it. Occasionally using too much I feel like one of the Marx bros.
