I'm a 22 year old college grad with a bachelors in fashion design and a minor in art- metals specialization. I have an indescribable weakness for animals (especially dogs) and regularly donate to the ASPCA. My own dog is a recued puppy. I LOVE nature and I'm a mmu addict.

I got on the mineral and all-natural skincare bandwagon about 2 years ago:

 I had wanted an all natural option for years- traditional makeup and my skin generally were not the best of friends. I hated the idea of hiding my skin, and I really hated the extra blemishes and the necessary face-washing that came from wearing makeup (I was totally a "splash your face with water and go" kinda gal). I do avoid talc in pretty much all products i use nowadays. I also try to avoid cornstarch, etc.

I had a very big sampling phase and tried A LOT of different companies:

Meow, Silk Naturals, Dreamworld, My Minerals Bath & Body(classy reseller), Joppa, Lumiere, Ocean Mist, Cory, Ethereal, Taylor Made Minerals (resells monave foundation), Sheer Cover, Signature Minerals, Simply Naturals (shadows), The She Space and Twisted Fayte(Shadows), Milan Minerals (shadows),  L.A. Minerals, KT Naturals, Fusion of Color, Everyday Minerals, Raesin Images, Archetype, Artemis, Barefaced Minerals, Geografx (shadows), Jenulence, Mad Minerals, Mineral Boutique, UGloGirl, Monave (products), TerraFirma, Zosimos Botanicals, Lure Beauty (Pigments), Indulgent Minerals, Dayna's Minerals, Pink Quartz Minerals, Earthen Glow Minerals, and others i can't remember at the moment...
