You've probably noticed a trend on this blog of using clean products to nourish your skin and body. Well, after reading No More Dirty Looks and reading this advice from a friend, I decided it was high time to clean up my make-up routine. For those of you who know me, you might be asking, what make-up routine? Yes, it is true, I don't really wear make-up often, but I've always wanted to be the girl who did. I'm really going to make an effort this school year to wear some make-up in hopes of presenting myself as a slightly more polished and professional kindergarten teacher!
On the rare occasion that I dust this complexion with make-up, I use bareMinerals. While I do like this make-up, I notice that when I wear it for several days in a row my face gets tiny bumps and little break-outs. I learned that one particular chemical in this product, bismuth oxychloride, can cause some people to breakout, while others have no problem. Apparently, I'm one of those people--I guess it is not a surprise since my Mom had the same problem with bareMinerals. All in all, bareMinerals is a fairly good option for make-up. According to the the Environmental Working Groups Skin Deep Cosmetics Database, bareMinerals foundation scores at a level 2 (meaning it is of low hazard to your health).
In search of a new foundation, I got on one of my favorite clean beauty sites, Spirit Beauty Lounge. They have an amazing deal where you can select 9 product samples for $25. With your sample comes a coupon for $10 that you can use for your next purchase of $40 or more. I placed my order today and am so excited for my samples to arrive! Look for a future post on the products I love from my samples.
What type of make-up do you use? Are there products you love or products you avoid?
