> I do like mineral foundations. They have been a bit tricky for me. What I found as a key was to moisturize well prior to applying. My canvas consists of Clinique's Dramatically Different in the GEL form mixed with a little topical Hyaluronic Acid - can be found at health food stores and the single best thing to come out of a health food store for my assessment. (Smile) Nothing else from there has ever worked for me. (Smile) but I digress..... so,

So what is Hyaluronic Acid? What does it do? And what is Clinique's Dramatically Different? Is it a primer?

> Silicone based primers do not work well for me with mineral foundations as also oil control products don't mix well as they tend to produce a cakey look.

I've never even used a primer! I don't even use moisturizer because my skin is so oily. I do sometimes use Nuetragema (sp) Healthy Skin (I get the Walmart store brand). It has alpha hydroxy in it, among other things. I really like it.

> I like bareminerals but have found Walgreen's brand is good. I don't care for the L'oreal versions as they have too much of the shiny light diffusing pigments for me - the Oz Tin Man look isn't attractive on me.

Cool, I may try the Walgreen's brand! I hate the shiny stuff too. My oily skin doesn't need any help in that department!

> I love that most places allow for returns if one isn't happy. That's actually a fairly new development for cosmetic purchases. It's great to not be stuck with bucks worth of stuff you can't or refuse to use.

Oh yeah, I've been taking advantage of that little trick for a while now! Eckerds/CVS has been doing that for years. I plan on taking back the mineral foundation that was too dark.

> I have a good cheap hair product tip if you're interested.....

YES! A thousand times yes! I'm always interested in cheap hair product tips!

Right now my hair is REALLY dry because I bleached it. I just ordered some Biosilk online. Its $42+ everywhere I've looked around here, and I found it online for $20.00, but then the postage was about $12! But that's still a savings of around $10, so I went ahead and ordered it. Its the best thing I've found for dry hair so far, but I'm sure there's something better out there.

I wondered if there was something at the health food store I could get. Years ago I used to buy johoba oil at a health food store and use it on my hair, but I can't remember how well it worked. I may have to try that again.
