Powder -Hourglass - Oxygen Mineral powder

I really, really wanted to like this foundation, and after reading the reviews I thought I would give it a try and order it...but unfortunately even the lightest shade, which I ordered, is too dark for me and makes me look orange. I do not even have super light skin, so I was sure that the lightest color would be fine, but now I can't wear it without looking made-up, orange, and powdery. However, the packaging is convenient and nice and I'm sure it works if you find the right match, but there doesn't seem to be a color light enough, at least for me.

Primer/ Corrector -LORAC - Oil-Free Neutralizer
mkpurple 3/24/2008 7:25:00 PM
This neutralizer actually has a lot of color in a little bit, and so makes quite a difference in coloring. I am very fair, so the color is all right, but I would not recommend this product for darker skin tones as the pigment is very light and not sheer. Also, it does accentuate dry patches and can look cakey or flakey if the skin is not moisturized enough. A little goes a LONG way; the pump dispenses way too much product, and if applied all over the face, or even on most of it you can look pretty washed out. However, I mix this with moisturizer, which has turned out to be great. It covers redness or even a blemish where I need it, and never dries funny when mixed with moisturizer. The oil-free factor is nice, and the bottle should last a long time, as only a tiny bit is needed to make a difference. Overall, I would say it is a good purchase, once you learn how to use it in the best way for your skin.

This is a great mascara that really applies color but doesn't smudge or clump if put on carefully. The largeness of the brush/applicator is nice as well.

Great moisturizer! Very hydrating, and never feels thick. Goes well with makeup, and smells great. Also, it lasts quite a long time. It has never given me any problems in terms of breakouts, etc.
