Aromaleigh.....I love you!

[miss_upsetter]

oi vey, i can't believe i'm going to do this, but i've had a few people ask me how well Aromaleigh cosmetics cover.

I WILL SHOW YOU.

A little background - I am 23 with oily, sensitive skin AND rosacea. I haven't really done anything with my rosacea (but that's another story). Rosacea causes the skin to redden and get deep cysts that can be VERY

Holy crap, that is seriously amazing! I, too, have fucked up skin, I guess I could only call it combination, since it's super duper oily in some spots and then desert dry in others. Not to mention it's totally uneven in color AND super sensitive. Living in Sacramento with regular 100+ degree days in the summer (and actually this week, hooray global warming) doesn't help my oiliness. But, my skin is so sensitive I can't use anything but mineral products. Thank goodness there's been cheap alternatives to come out lately because Bare Minerals is expensive as fuck. I just wish I wasn't a dirt broke college kid so I could splurge and get some new makeup. Maybe come back-to-school shopping time or something. I love that they don't test on animals, too :)

PS - have you lost weight recently? You look crazy thin, girl! But gorgeous, as usual :)

[miss_upsetter]

haha, i haven't lost weight at all...i think its just cause i'm in a tank top or something!

i've carried over my skin regiment from phoenix...similar (but hotter!) environment!

* Wash with a salicylic acid based wash (I use a target brand one - $3), and let it set for 30 seconds on my face so it can get deep down

* Tone with Avalon organics vitamin c toner - $10(smells so good!)

* Moisturize with Body shop's mattifying tea tree oil lotion. - $12

* Prep with either Avon's Magix ($10) or Ulta's foundation primer ($17, but i got mine for $7 on sale).

it seems to work pretty well...except when i have a random rosacea breakout.

Aromaleigh is pretty nice, you can get an order of all samples with free shipping. minimum order is $10 though. Their samples are VERY generous. The foundation sample lasted me two weeks and the eyeshadow samples will last for months (unless you really cake that shit on every day!)

Haha, I'll admit, I'm kind of a caker! But not too badly, so it'd probably last me a moderate amount of time, at least.

And I've been looking for a new toner to use! I'll definitely check those out, cause it sounds like we have a pretty similar skin type - you're even as pale as I am and the sad thing is I'm Mexican! Hahah

[bendog]

[miss_upsetter]

[kittyblue]

Awesome! I'm the same way - my coworker (who I linked to AL and now she's as hooked as I am) says I sound like I work for them because I sing their praises all the time, too!

:D

--Zuihitsu (who finally used her not-work internets to check out this link that you posted). :)

P.S. Post a tutorial on how you get your liner to look so good! :D

[miss_upsetter]

I'll have to do that later! I've been planning on doing a video tutorial on mineral makeup and how i apply it as well.
