Every time I hear the words "mineral makeup" I always have flashbacks of standing at the Bare Minerals counter with my friend Nita (who is from India and has the most lovely deep shade of skin that rerminds me of figs) while the counter girl fumbled around before handing her what they call their "tan" & "warm tan" collection and saying to her "here these colors are usually for Asian & Hispanic people but you could probably get close to your color with them" Where then Nita promptly replied "I am Asian, just not like, 'Jackie Chan' Asian" HA!
I was turned on to a little company called b.l.a.c. (Basic Luxuries for All Colors) minerals
So... it has taken me a long time to come around to the mineral makeup hype but b.l.a.c. minerals seems to have a more diverse color pallet for people who are more than just "ivory, light, medium, tan or dark". Upon my friend's urging, I ordered a sample kit. I was hoping this was going to be the one but sadly for me it failed. The coverage was nice and it really did match and blend very well, but I have very sensitive skin and after only about 30 minutes of wear my face broke out in an itchy rash and I immediately washed it off.. I don't know, I guess I'm going to have to go half and half with this one. I simply cannot wear it but my friend thinks it's great.
Sorry b.l.a.c. minerals, you get the pout :(

My neighbor stopped by last week while I was burning one of these puppies and she was like "Wow, I can't believe you cooked" ( grrrr! ) I wish my cooking smelled this yummy.
Surround yourself in the mouth watering scent of pink buttercream frosting with the Jaqua Pink Buttercream Frosting Luxury Candle. This soy candle is hand poured and will burn up to 30 hours
The down side is that it really does smell kind of sweet. I can only burn it for a little while and then I kind of have to blow it out and open the windows to dilute the scent a little. I don't care, still yummy :)

I found out about Sam Moon from a client at work. She had this awesome purse and I just had to know where she got it from. She told us about this place called Sam Moon and ever since them I have been hooked! If you love accessories then this is your place. I am usually known to be kind of a "label snob" but you can buy a crazy huge amount of stuff for very little money. If you need to get your shop on but don't have a lot of cash then shop Sam Moon . Woot!
