journeys in the cosmetics underground

[anotheranon]

Inspired my my responses to my mineral makeup post and the ensuing discussion, I'm upgrading my beauty regimen a bit:

Recon to Sephora: I tried out some of the recommendations and satisfied myself that that "new!" really does mean improved, at least in some cases. On order: mineral foundation and primer, along with some sample sizes of the more expensive stuff (hat tip margoeve; you really CAN find everything on Ebay!)

I also decided to give Lush another try. I picked up 3 things but because I'm cautious of another bad reaction I've only tried one yet and am surprisingly impressed. The backside slayer* really does work as advertised! Kinda greasy at first, but it does sink in rather than rub off and thus far hasn't made me break out or itch. I'm not quite confirmed wholheartedly into the Church of Lush but I gotta say, the rough skin on my knees and the backs of my legs is softer than an android's bottom :P

*No, they're not paying me - just my own opinion.

It is a tiny, tiny world :)

Wait 'til you stumble upon Lushies - turns out the world gets even smaller...
