A sneak peek: The Body Shop Extra Virgin Minerals foundations
Here’s what’s going to be available at The Body Shop this coming August 29.

BE RADIANT Extra Virgin Minerals™ Loose Powder Foundation SPF 25

BE FRESH New Extra Virgin Minerals™ Liquid Foundation SPF 30

BE MATTE New Extra Virgin Minerals™ Cream Compact Foundation SPF 15
So, The Body Shop has finally decided to join the minerals bandwagon. This is what they have to say about the much anticipated products.
This is the first mineral make-up collection from the Body Shop to feature an exclusive combination of award-winning 100%Community Fair Trade pure cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil and ultra-fine mineral pigments, for foundation that’s in total affinity with the skin. As a result of being so finely milled, the 100% mineral pigments make the foundations incredibly easy to blend, so you enjoy natural-looking flawless results. Wonderfully weightless for a ‘barely-there’ sensation, this mineral make-up is actually good for your complexion as it contains SPF, to help protect the natural beauty of your skin. Each non-irritating formula is fragrance and paraben-free and suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and blemished skin – each foundation is non-comedogenic, meaning that it won’t block pores and lets skin breathe. The three formats are also available in suit-all shades, to help you achieve the perfect look.
I just love mineral make-up. Don’t we all? No matter what others say about mineral make-up, I believe they are much more gentle on our skin.
Therefore, I personally cannot wait to give these products a try.

- Extra Virgin Minerals Cream Compact Foundation SPF 15 (8.5g, $39.90) – 8 shades
- Extra Virgin Minerals Liquid Foundation SPF 30 (30ml, $36.90) – 6 shades

Kiehl’s Blemish Control Treatment Review
It has indeed been awhile. My last blog post was over a month ago. I can’t help myself cause everytime I sit in front of the computer, I blanked out. Either that or I get very distracted reading other more interesting blogs on the internet. Hehe.
Ok, so I digress. But let’s get down to serious business. It is time for my official review of Kiehl’s Blemish Control Daily Skin-Clearing Treatment.

I’ve been using Kiehl’s Blemish Control for nearly two months and I must say, I LOVE IT!
Formulated with a powerful blend of blemish-fighting Dioic, Salicylic and Lipo Hydroxy Acids, known to minimize the appearance of acne and blemishes.
