I don't wear a ton of makeup (i.e foundation, etc). But Everyday, I ware the Bare Esscentuals mineral based foundation powders, etc. I completely quit breaking out (which probably also has to do with the fact that I switched to organic/natural face care) and I look stunning. I'm not trying to toot my own horn, but these products are well worth the $$$$. So you may spend a bit more on them, but the way cheaper makeup is going up in price (Loreal, Covergirl, etc.), why not spend a few extra dollars and get the stuff that's natural and good for your skin. You really can sleep in it and it won't ruin your skin-I've tried it. Of course you don't want to make a habit of it, but once in awhile won't hurt! And now you can get it at the Bare Esscenuals flagship stores, Sephora.com or even QVC. The starter kits run about $60-80, but you get all your foundations and the expensive brushes! if you just bought the burshes alone, it would cost you way more than $80! And they are awesome as well. All you need to do is purchase some Vincent Longo brush cleaner and clean them on a weekly basis! Ahhh....I'm in heaven!
