I am giving this foundation another try today to see how it lasts after reading a very helpful review on this product (divafix, i think), previously when I have worn it it has had both pros and cons, mostly cons but I will update after I give it another couple of days ware. I brought this foundation after hearing so many great things about it and was suffering from a little adult acne so I was excited to give it a try. Some pros are: . When you first put it on you look glowing (in a good way), a beautiful natural healthy glow. . good build-able coverage . Great color range. . Nice natural product with a lovely ethos. Some cons are . This lovely natural glow I previously mentioned does not last. By lunch I have little pools of foundation built up around my face and over my spots and it seems there is no saving it, a rework with my kabuki brush only worsens the situation. . It's expensive. I did use this when my skin was all broken out and un- healthy which isn't ideal, but in my defense the product is kinda marketed to those with problem skin. (well that's how it was sold to me I was told it would be great for acne prone skin) So after all that I recommend, after buying and trying this product, I think it's really important, considering it's price to SAMPLE IT FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS before buying it. Try out the best way to apply it and see if your skin will accept the mineral goodness or leave you looking a little worse than you started off.

Treatments -LUSH - Serum- Full of Grace

This is a little gem! I've just had a massive outbreak that has been really hard to manage...until now! I've never been a big Lush junkie, I've always thought that most of there products were for people who already had great skin with the occasional spot, but my friend recommended i try 'full of grace' and i'm hooked. Also after spending a little time in the Lush shop and talking to the girls i really love there ethos, no animal testing, natural ingredients you know the spiel, all important elements when buying products (well for me). I just put this on at night after I cleanse and let it sink in ( sometimes it takes a while, it is a bit oily). It feels great and smells great and also,most importantly, for me it has helped in the healing process for my spots as well as taking away the redness, that's what we want right?! I guess the only downside is ( if you consider it one) Is that it has to be kept in the fridge cause it will melt. I'm supper excited about this magical little bar! I'm stocking up!
