I’ve tried a plethora of goodies from Senna, each of which I’ll be reviewing soon. But, first up is a Senna best-seller, Mineral Mix Cover & Finish Foundation. Mineral Mix marks the end of getting the wrong foundation color. How so? It contains a beautifully blend-able loose mineral powder foundation in the base along with a darker pressed mineral foundation powder in the lid. Simple and smart.

Yesterday I ran out of my mediocre foaming facial cleanser — I use it because it was expensive plus it removes my makeup pretty well, frankly, it’s pretty much so-so. Today, instead of heading off to the department store in search of another high dollar, mediocre facial cleanser, I decided to make my own. Here’s my recipe that costs about $6 for around 4 oz.

Acne Myths and A Recipe to Clear It All Up
Posted by girlpaint | Filed under DIY (make your own!), anti-aging, education, handmade, perfect pores, recipe, skin care
Reality: Zits aren’t caused by dirt. Contrary to what you may have seen in advertising, pores don’t get blocked from the top down due to “impurities”. Rather, the walls of a pore stick together deep within the skin, starting acne formation. Far from keeping acne at bay, frequent washing may actually irritate pores and cause them to become more clogged. A washcloth can add even more irritation. The best bet is to wash your face gently with clean, bare hands, and only wash twice a day.

…check out MyChelle Fruit Fiesta Peel. I sampled this all-natural dermaceutical peel recently, all I can say is, “Wow!” The texture is similar to strawberry jam, minus the sweet stickiness. The smell is just like a tart, juicy raspberry.
