I love it. Maybe it’s the placebo effect or whatever but I’ll take it!

I saw the movie too and I thought it was adorable! Yeah, you're right – a littttttle eccentric but a great film overall.

You should be informed of the side effects before having the injections. If you have had injections you should know that the early signs of complications are dry mouth and difficulty swallowing. If you have had an injection of Botox and you have these symptoms you should seek medical attention immediately.

Comment on Guinea Pig: bareMinerals SPF 25 Mineral Veil by Kendra

@aimbug Thanks for the feedback on the PTR product. I have friends who swear by their skin care, but sounds like their sun protection powder leaves something to be desired.I notice mineral makeup leaves me a bit itchy, too, at times! I'm going to try Christopher Drummond Beauty next. My friends over at NaturesBasin.com sell it. He uses no titanium dioxide or bismuth oxychloride. Suki is another mineral makeup alternative that's natural.And great point about mineral sunscreens. Immediate protection is key when you're heading right outside!

A few things…- Good to know about the bismuth oxychloride. I use bareMinerals SFP and even though I have super sensitive skin, it doesn't give me problems. Except for once every blue moon it makes me a bit itchy. Now I have a better idea of why…. – I love Peter Thomas Roth products and have used a few religiously for nearly 20 years now, but I was not a huge fan of the sunblock powder (regifted to my sis who likes it though). It didn't go on evenly for me, and when I sweat it kind of clumped up and came off if I rubbed it. – I never really use the bM mineral veil, but I have it so may give that a try based on your post. Thanks Skin Detective!- Finally, another good thing about powdered mineral sunscreens is they provide effective protection immediately, unlike creams which can take up to an hour to absorb into your skin and start working. So especially good to use for that midday lunch or walk.

I've been using l'oreal bare naturale mascara. What's the word on their ingredients, they do list them on their site. Other than not knowing what is in it, I like the product.
