Yesterday I decided to take the plunge and buy some mineral foundation. I usually use Chanel Teint Innocent but I have dry skin and it jusy makes those bits look drier. I thought powder might stop this and not look or feel as heavy. I did some research on the internet and Bare Minerals have had decent reviews so I decided to go with that.

When I spoke to the sales person she said that the best thing to get would be the starter kit as that had 2 colours of foundation, make-up brushes and other bots and pieces including a dvd showing you how to put it on. The starter kit is £50 but thought I'd give it a go.

I put the dvd on when I got home and me and mum watched it. The sales person warned me that it was cheesy and it definately was. We then had a play with it and it was really easy to put on. It also felt nice and light. However, the real test will be it's staying power. If it doesn't stay on all day I won't be using it.

So today I put it on and went out shopping. Hardly a difficult test compared to the stressful meetings and field work that it will have to stand up to but nevermind. I have to say despite my misgivings it has stood up to the first test remarkably well. I'm impressed! I shall wear it to work tomorrow and see what happens. I can't believe it's Sunday already, it only feels like Saturday. Boooooo...
