First post

I went to my friend's baby shower yesterday and we were talking about Mineral Foundation that I made. The story begins ....

I used to wear Shiseido foundation (and others, too) in the past, then when I needed to buy the new one, I asked my "lovely skin-friend", what her make-up is and she said it's Bare Escentuals (BE). I know BE from TV ad and for some reasons I have never wanted to buy something from TV ad. Then I wanted to buy one because of her! I blamed her lovely skin! LOL.

I searched for coupon code for BE and never found one! It is pricey!! Because I want my skin as lovely as hers, I bought BE that night.

I was so interested in Minerals Make-up than before and began to search more about it. I found out that Minerals Makeup doesn't contain preservatives nor fragrance and very good for our skin. Yet BE contains Bismuth Oxychloride (link) that cause itchiness and break outs to some of us. So I began to do the intensive research and to make long story short ...I make my own minerals make-up.

I convinced my sisters in Indo to use MM (is free of preservatives, talc, oil, fragrance and other potential skin irritants) instead of regular make-up. And MM is very good for humid place like Indo (Jakarta) because it is water/sweat resistant! It's perfecto!

to be continued....mau masak!
