Mia Mariu Cosmetics Review and Giveaway, Ends 11/26/12

Make-up.  I've had a love-hate relationship with it since my teens.  I never seemed to 'wear' it correctly! Too oily, too flat, too much, too little.

So... I stopped buying and wearing it.

But I'm 52 now.  And I thought, surely, there MUST be a make-up that I could wear and not look like a clown.

I found it.

I've been hearing about Mia Mariu for several months.  I read the rave reviews and wondered... Will it work for me?

A deep breath before the plunge... and here I am! A convert!  I don't wear it every day.  But when Mike and I go out, I just feel a bit better about my appearance now.  Me.  Wearing cosmetics.  Who knew?

I choose two products that I knew I needed most: Foundation and Blush.

I decided on Perfecting Finish Mineral Cream Foundation in Trigo

Product Description
Oil-free mineral hydrating formula provides long wear, water resistant and luminous buildable coverage with perfectly balanced color pigments proven to meet skin tones without ash tones, opaqueness, or mask-like effect just a natural perfectly matched radiant tone. Helps improve the look of problem skin like rosacea, acne and discoloration contains Green Tea extract, Vitamin A, C and E (10g).


For my blush, I chose Mineral Blush Maria Azucena



Product Description
Made with pure natural minerals from the earth and combined with optimum color pigments, our silky vitamin-enriched Mineral Blush sweeps over cheek bones to create a luminous glow. Contains Vitamin A, C and E. Use with White Tip Blushing Brush No. 35 (2.6 g).

Mike tells me the photos don't really do me justice.  I hope he's right! :)  

I just don't take good pictures... *sigh*
