Bad make-up! Bad!

I finally figured out what was screwing my skin up so badly. I’ve always had weird issues with my skin. It’s either too oily, or so freaking dry my skin is flaking off. More recently, it has been the latter. I finally got it under control (thanks to a $5 bottle of Bioré moisturizer from Wal-Mart) and was able to wear liquid foundation again. Since my new skin was behaving so well, I figured I’d try my Bare Minerals again to see if it sat differently now that my skin was properly moisturized. No, no, no, NO.

The second my brush touched my face it was flake central! My forehead, my cheeks, my nose, they were all peeling. I freaked! We were running late as it was, so I didn’t have time to re-do my foundation. Thankfully the weather was so horrible that once we got home, we stayed home the rest of the day. When I went to wash my face last night, my forehead looked beyond terrible. I slathered it with two layers of moisturizer last night, and this morning only a few patches of dryness remain.

Needless to say, I’m am never using powder again. No Bare Minerals, no Bare Natural, none of the knock-off crap in the drug store. I’m using liquid foundation, and I don’t care what their commercials say about all the stuff in it. Apparently, your hoity-toity product wasn’t so great either!
