REVIEW: Bare Minerals SPF 20 Correcting Concealer

Today I tried my first Bare Minerals product. After having cancer enter into your reality, you approach EVERYTHING differently. If you look online for what causes cancer, it will list everything and anything you come into contact with on a daily basis. I know that I can not eliminate it all from my life, nor can I afford to buy everything "Organic," or "All Natural." But I can be more conscious of what I am putting in direct contact with my skin, hair, mouth, etc...
On the back of the box, this concealer claims to "diminish the appearance of dark spots and discolorations over time." If this is true, then I will be one happy camper. I have quite a  few acne scarring marks that I would like to diminish FOREVER.
I was really attracted to this concealer because of the SPF 20...First, to prevent skin damage/cancer. Second, if the sun hits your acne scarring/discoloration without SPF, it can potentially make your discoloration worse. 
FIRST IMPRESSION: The consistency of this concealer is creamy, but very thin. In my opinion, it provides light coverage. I have always used a combination of green and tinted concealer to cover my redness. I will have to continue using a green concealer to tame my redness and combine it with Bare Minerals concealer for the SPF and possible correcting agent!

IF YOU HAVE TRIED THIS CONCEALER, OR ANY OTHER BARE MINERALS PRODUCT, LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK! :)

When You Look in the Mirror, You Should See ROYALTY!!

Quick thought of the day:
There are many verses in the bible that tell of how our true beauty is shown through our actions and our inner self.
What we also need to remember as followers of Christ is thAT God lives inside of us. As Christians, when we leave the house we are representing Christ for all the world to see. When Jesus walked the earth, in no ways was he lazy. We can not portray ourselves as lazy. Take the extra time in the morning to make yourself look nice.
God encourages us to strive for excellence in every area of our lives.
WE ARE HEIRS TO THE KING OF KINGS. WE SHOULD FEEL LIKE ROYALTY. 

I LOVE THIS PICTURE! MY SISTER, MY MOM AND I RARELY GET TO GO TO CHURCH TOGETHER. ON MY MOM'S BIRTHDAY THIS YEAR, WE WOKE UP, BEAUTIFIED OURSELVES AND WORSHIPED THE LORD TOGETHER AT CHURCH. WE FELT BEAUTIFUL INSIDE AND OUT. I TRY TO LIVE LIKE THIS EVERY DAY. I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER WHEN I PUT ON AN OUTFIT I LIKE AND MY HAIR AND MAKE UP ARE DONE. WHEN I ADD WORSHIP INTO MY  DAY, I AM A BEAUTIFUL, CONFIDENT GODLY WOMAN.

Vitamin Up!

These are the vitamins I take on a daily basis...

 1. Beyond Tangy Tangerine: This powder supplement gives you all of the vitamins and minerals
     you need in one day. I pour a glass of water in the morning and night and put two scoops of this
     in my glass. I really try not to skip out on this stuff because as hard as I try, I do not eat healthy
     enough to get all of my necessary vitamins and minerals from my food.

2. Hair Skin & Nails: This is pretty self explanatory. I have always had long hair. A year and a half
    ago I cut my hair above my shoulders and hated it. It has FINALLY grown out to be about
    shoulder length and it is still too short for me.

3. Fish Oil: I take two capsules of Fish Oil each day. I originally started taking Fish Oil because I
    read that Jennifer Aniston takes them for anti aging. But it also promotes plenty of other health 
    benefits, such as: cardiovascular health, healthy joints, optimal fat metabolism and eye health.

4. Copper: I recently learned that I am copper deficient. I heard from a medical professional that
    some signs of being copper deficient are: hemorrhoids,spider veins and premature aging, (wrinkles
    in your early twenties). I fit each description, sorry if that's T.M.I. Also, when I was pregnant I
    learned that I am anemic, which means my body has a hard time absorbing iron.....and copper is
    what aids your body is absorbing iron. So, if you're low in copper, you will be low in iron.

5. Evening Primrose Oil: I began using Evening Primrose Oil for my acne, and I have noticed a
    significant difference in my skin. I have heard that there are some negative side effects, so you
    might want to read up on it or ask your doctor before using them yourself. I also take these twice
    a day.

I strongly recommend taking a vitamin that gives your body all of the essential vitamins and minerals you need. BUT I AM NOT CLAIMING TO BE ANY SORT OF MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL.
