Makeup

I love me some mineral makeup. Thats the way to go, kids. I'm telling you now, all the hype is true. (Well, most of it, anyway.) But, as we all know, hype is a Catch 22: it lets you know about the product, but it is extremely costly. And who ends up paying to offset that cost? You guessed it. Y-O-U.

So a little trick that I have discovered is to look for product lines with the same ingredients and components as the ones used by the heavy advertisers. After a little searching and product review, Voila! I have found the prudent way to go about purchasing my beloved mineral makeup:

PUR ELEMENT

"And why is Pur Element so wonderful, my Savings Savvy Sister?" you say.
Glad you asked, my Rockin R....awesome Reader.

Pur Element Pluses:
*Same mineral ingredients as Bare Minerals so it is...
**good for your skin, no harsh chemicals
**a physical sunblock
**actually nourishes your skin
*Plenty of shades for every skin color
*Easy-to-navigate website
*Offers lots of inexpensive little samples if you are having trouble with commitment
*You don't have to join a club to get a "discount"
*You can be creative and mix your own colors
*Been using them for over a year and I love love love their line

I highly suggest you give them a whirl. I like to order a couple of samples from them to color test before I buy a larger container. I have also been known to buy two shades and blend my own foundation depending on the season- just make sure and buy another little clean plastic pot to experiment in. Order up a batch for yourself!
