Believe it or not, a post that's not (primarily) about JC. *gasp!* Yes, I'm shocked too.

Why do makeup manufacturers think that every woman in America wants water-based foundation? I've got dry skin, small pores, and I need moisture, dammit. *Not* some moisture-rich (ha!) water-based product. I want/prefer something with oil in it; it feels good on my skin, even hours later. Waaaah!

(This rant made more sense and sounded better in my head. Might have something to do with the fact that Mr. Foxmonkey is trying to talk to me while I'm trying to update.)

I used to buy a *gorgeous* powder from Estee Lauder. Light texture, no color, matte. Absolutely perfect. After blotting my (oil-based!) foundation, I'd dust a little powder on, then brush off the excess. My skin looked *wonderful*, perfect and flawless. So having found the perfect powder, what happens? The formula changes! Suddenly sparkly/glittery powders are all the rage beause supposedly, this reflects light and makes your skin look all dewy and fresh. I don't *want* light-reflective powder. I hate it. Why do they do this? :-(
