Product of the week - March 6th, 2009

This week I decided to treat myself to just a little something. I have been doing really well with my New Year's resolutions and now that I have reached one of the goals I set for myself- it seemed time for a reward. I decided I was going to head into the world on mineral makeup. Now don't get me wrong, I have of course tried minerals before. But only in the store and never have I been fully committed. I don't wear foundation on a daily basis so I didn't want to invest a chunk of change in something I wasn't going to get my money's worth from.

Well, this week I bought my first mineral foundation and I love it. I went with a drugstore brand (since this is a time for cutting corners it was easier to swallow $13 than $30). And you know what? I absolutely love it. I have already used it everyday since I have had it.

CoverGirl TruBlend MicroMinerals Foundation - $12.99 (Drugstores nationwide)

This is super affordable and works. It is light and smooth- goes well on your skin and just looks natural. You can layer it to whatever amount of coverage you want. Honestly perfect for the days when I want to have as few steps as possible in my morning routine and when I want to look fresh faced. This mineral foundation has provided that and more. I have been using it without my concealer and it still looks amazing. This is a new permanent staple for me and has paved the way for perhaps a more expensive mineral related purchase in the future. But for now, this lovely budget friendly CoverGirl gem is the way to go. It comes in 10 natural looking shades and is chock full of good for your skin minerals. Perfect for anyone who wants to save time, wants something that is good for your skin and for anyone who wants to look great. In other words- everyone!!

Keep looking fabulous,
