Hi Lori:
I just wanted to tell you and Kathy that I LOVE your makeup, especially the foundation. I sampled a lot of mineral makeup brands before trying your sampler kit, and I can truly say that Melange is the best for me and held up in "testing" against several other brands. It's the best match for my skin (#1 is the best neutral I've ever found), has awesome staying power, a beautiful, natural, dewy finish (I'd never gotten compliments on my makeup until I used mineral makeup, and most if not all of them I've gotten since using Melange...a coworker said my makeup always looked terrific and very natural, like I had perfect skin, and considering I have anything but perfect skin, that was quite a compliment), and covers any imperfection flawlessly.
I have confidence knowing even if I woke up with a giant red zit, I can cover it up no problem and make that zit invisible. I've compared Melange to many other brands and nothing suits my combination skin like it. It helps my dry areas look smooth, and where I'm oily, it tones it down just enough so I don't look shiny and greasy. I now make sure I have an extra #1 foundation around just in case, because no other foundation will cut it, and I'm taking no chances.
I've also tried your blushes and lip powders, and love the staying power.
Mocha and Apricot Bloom are two of my favorites, and Mocha is the perfect neutral brown blush that I find myself reaching for whenever I wear brown because it's a great match. I also love the Illumi-Finish powder--it's light and goes on smoothly, yet combats the oilies I get on my cheeks and forehead.
Please, never stop making your foundation! I would be beside myself. I love your products, and wanted to let you know. Often, companies hear only about the negatives, and not enough about the positives. I tell everyone who compliments my makeup what I use and where to find it. It's the best!
Thanks!
