Laura and the mineral make up

Last Saturday I bought a new mineral foundation by L'Oreal ( because I'm worth it.) It was with great excitement I tried this new product on Sunday, however, I was bitterly disappointed. It claimed to do all manner of amazing things to my complexion and I was looking forward to staring in the mirror and seeing Eva Longoria looking back.My first point is that the brush with which it is applied is very itchy upon one's outer epidermis layer. My second point is that the colour, the lightest in the range, was too dark for my porcelain English rose visage.My third point is that the texture and consistency of the powder was like glue. It clung like a whimpering toddler to my dry bits and uneven areas.My fourth point is that is did not maintain a matte finish. By 10am Iwas sporting a shiny kipper, this is never a good look, even in the privacy of one's home on a Sunday when one is completely alone.I am hysterical and distraught. I paid 10 English pounds of my hard earned wages to suffer this crushing disappointment.On Monday, I attempted a different application method and patted it on with a sponge, thus bypassing the itchy brush. I still ended up with a glistening and fake tanned look and so I have rendered my new mineral foundation a big waste of space.It seems as though I am destined to suffer heavily in life and this incident is yet another example of the cruelty and irony that God has bestowed upon me.

Thank God I don't leave the house before reading your blog. You have saved me misery, embarrassment, an upset stomach and now you have saved me money!! The bare minerals starter kit is $60.00 at Ulta and I'm so happy to know that the whole line is crap and can now save my money on more reliable products like magic diet pills and spray-on hair.
