I’m so looking forward to waking up tomorrow morning and brushing “pure, crushed minerals from the earth” on my face. Yes, I succumbed to the allure of mineral makeup. I was somehow sucked into the vortex at the center of the Sephora store, where the black-smocked Sephorians were swirling and tapping and buffing this stuff on anyone who entered the mineral zone. I bought one $25 jar of “foundation” which looks and feels like powder, but does give a nice smooth finish and provides SPF 15. I’m already having pangs of regret at not getting the $60 Get Started Kit. I Shipping for the Kit is now free at Sephora.com, just in case you want to liberate your pores without making the trek to the mall.
