hive mind: minerals?

[anotheranon]

From the Questions That Can't Be Answered in One Line at Twitter:

What's the big deal about mineral makeup?

In particular I've been seeing this company's boxed sets online and in shops all over of late, it seems. The colors don't look like anything special and texture wise I'm a satisfied MAC StudioFix/powder customer. Has anyone tried these? What's your opinion of them?

I ask because of a Sephora gift cert. breathing down my neck and I'm realizing that there are New Things in the cosmetics world that I haven't a clue about (geekchick explained "primer" to me last night).

Yogurt Bubble Bath

My guess? It's for the yeast infection prone.

That was my thought when I saw the first one. But then I realized that 3/4 of the bottles on offer had the equivalent of "now with yogurt!" printed on them (nearly all the brands and not just one to a brand name ... my own favourite had the y-stuff in five out of six scents/variations) ... I figure that's gotta equal fad of the month or else there's one helluva yeast epidemic ravaging the land and I somehow missed the news coverage ... ;p

Seeing as I was actually at a computer when it came to mind this time, I decided I was curious enough to check the Fa website ... according to their newsletter, they're putting yogurt in everything (not just the bubble bath) "because Cleopatra bathed in donkey's milk to enhance her beauty."

It's so reassuring to see that there's logic behind this decision. :p
