All natural make-up vs the urge to spend less.

I have a confession.  Even though I don't feel I need to wear make-up, I love make-up.   I especially have a thing for purple eye shadow.  Here is another confession.  Even though I wash my skin with Blackett Body Basics' all natural face products, I have not always been careful about the make up I wear.  I don't know why exactly that hadn't crossed my mind until recently. So I decided to make a switch to all natural make-up.  And the price tag nearly made my head explode.  $29 for face powder!!!!!!  Hay dios mio!  And if you are like me, you don't always pick out the right color and have to go back for a different shade.  I have a lot of make-up and replacing all that make up would cost me a pretty penny.  So I formulated a game plan. I will replace my make-up as it runs out and buy the all natural make up, a little at a time.  And you, my friends, get the benefit of my experimentings, as I will post my reviews.
I recently ran out of face powder so while grocery shopping at my good old neighborhood PCC, I laid down the cash and bought some all natural make-up.  It was expensive, but they have samples out so I could match my color exactly and see if I liked the feel of it.  I bought ZuZu Dual Powder Foundation.  I LOVE THIS STUFF!  It is light and provides a nice matte finish.  It is perfect over Blackett Body Basics' Cocoa Face Cream.  And it seems to go a long way.  They had many different shades for all races of women.  It doesn't settle in my wrinkles.  It doesn't look like I have a ton of make-up on.  It just looks nice.  This is my stuff.
I need new mascara and since I like this brand so far, I am going to try their mascara.  I will let you know how I like it.
