I had purchased some mineral makeup a couple of months ago from Bella Pierre Cosmetics. They’re pretty pricey but I got a really sweet deal and their products are better than anything I’ve ever tried before. My skin has never looked better and it’s amazing how good I can look with different eye makeup techniques. I wasn’t thrilled with the price though so I decided to try out some other mineral makeup products to see if it was worth sticking to them. Unfortunately not all companies ship to Canada (or at a decent shipping price). I ended up trying out Everyday Minerals which is much cheaper than Bella Pierre and you can buy sample sizes for just $2.50. Their basic shipping cost to Canada is only $3.50 – much less than the $13+ that I’ve seen for other companies. So I ordered a few things and placed my order on August 16. It only got here today (I’m not too thrilled at the wait) but it did ship from Austin Texas so I guess it’s understandable. Damn customs! I tried some on today and so far I really love it. The colour is vibrant, stays put, and very light. I can’t even feel it. So it looks like I have found an alternative to my high-end brand. W00t.

P.S. I just made an apricot Lassie and threw in some raisins to see what would happen. Well the raisins stayed whole and I gagged on the huge chunks (I hate tapioca in my bubble tea for the same reason). Note to self: raisins = bad idea
