Hating

I dig that RAW Natural Beauty makes multi-use mineral makeup: loose powder foundation that dusts on sheer and builds into a concealer, a highlighter/blush duo that works on your lips and lids, and RAW Natural Beauty bronzer that triples as eyeshadow and contouring color. Not only does RAW Natural Beauty perform with high pigment — RAW Natural Beauty swears its eco-friendly minerals nourish your skin.

Still, you can imagine what RAW Natural Beauty Mineral Glow looked like, even applied as advised, on my SPF 1,000,000+ porcelain skin — it made me look dirty.

Which, I must admit, I usually appreciate…

Wanting

If you believe RAW Natural Beauty, not only does the RAW Natural Beauty eyeshadow trio in “Artic” create a killer smoky eye, but their mineral makeup’s age-defying active botanicals will ensure I’m still smoking when I maintain my daily face in my 50s. Not that anyone’ll know I’m 50.  Lying about one’s age is cheap, but so’s advertising it.

I know, I’m wise for a 19-year-old…

Using

RAW Natural Beauty sent me their RAW Natural Beauty mineral foundation kit. Even priced free, I’m skeptical about a foundation that requires three types of loose powder and two brushes. I dig Senna’s mineral powder foundation not because it’s natural — c’mon, I use a prescription face cream with an active ingredient banned by Japan — but because it works very well, very fast.

I tried RAW Natural Beauty mineral foundation anyway. I trashed its DVD — forgive me, lovely publicist — and skipped any instructions. The result? The mineral makeup went on fairly fast, and finished flawlessly. You can build RAW Natural Beauty mineral foundation from sheer coverage into total concealer. (You can also get 50% off with promocode DISCOVERY50.)

Which is lovely, but how would I touch up when my pursuit of natural beauty involves an appointment with needles in 90210?

You know, should I ever consider such a thing…

Hating

This Salvador Dali perfume bottle, if you believe its seller, looks and smells as good as when it was created in 1985. With a frosted glass nose and a Dali-signed pair of lips, the real appeal is the Salvador Dali-designed perfume bottle, though the scent is supposedly as charming, and picked by Dali: a blend of rose and jasmine, the rose celebrated Mrs. Dali’s rose garden, while Dali wore a sprig of jasmise behind his ear as he believed the flower to be a hallucinogen.

So why do I hate such a charming piece of art? I can’t figure out how to justify buying this Salvador Dali perfume bottle, since I’ve been stuck on a non-transferable perfume for years. Though for forty bucks, who cares…
