These are wonderful ingredients, but this company has a mislabeled product.
They have not followed the legislation for appropriate product labelling.
Where that leaves us, the consumers / potential consumers is in a state of
distrust. I’d feel more comfortable mixing these ingredients myself - or at
least some of the ingredients - due to the fact that, if I cannot respect
their legal ethics, why should I respect their claims? I know cosmetic
labels, but the healing claims alone throw it over into the OTC-drug category
for which the laws are much stricter.

Hey, Angelica … I went to www.miracell.com and they don’t list ingredients.
Would you post what this product’s label says?

Also, I checked out the bareEscentuals … really nice (I’m interested). I
then did a search for other mineral makeup, and found an interesting
reference from makeup artists about this product and a few of the others …

It seems to be for all skin types. They give free samples when you call their
1-800 number. I purchased the powder on Ebay. I bought a 5 sample package for
$20. It lasts for about two months. If you do purchase them get a warmth or glee
(use it as a blush), two foundation colors and two mineral veils. It’s a great
product! I would use anything else now. It covers everything and you don’t have
to worry about breaking out because it’s mineral powder. Also if your skin is
dry from your acne medication, try Miracell. www.miracell.com I put it on as
soon as I get out of the shower and then I put some aloe vera on top of it. It
helps the skin balance itself out. I have used it on my nails too. It makes them
grow like crazy!

Mindy,

I had the same problem! I know what you’re going through! I found a makeup that
actually sticks to the skin and it’s also used by plastic surgeons. It’s called
bare escentuals. It’s mineral powder that sticks to your skin. There’s no oily
liquid to cause more breakouts and it doesn’t clog your pores if you forget to
wash it off at night. Here’s the info. They also give free samples.

Hope this helps!

I am a 24 year old SWF and have adult acne and am planning on going
to see my dermatologist finally in a couple of weeks. I went once
before and the meds didn’t work.

My problem is that my skin doesn’t seem to heal very well. I am using
Avita cream on some spots and that seems to work a little bit to dry
out certain areas of acne. I will then get extremely dry patches of
skin on my face. When I try covering it with makeup, it just looks
like a hunk of dry skin with makeup-very obvious. So then I end up
peeling the skin off (no lotion or cream helps). It doesn’t bleed,
but then I have the tender skin showing. I put makeup on that and it
doesn’t absorb it at all.
So when I’m done doing my makeup, I look like crap. I have red spots.
Does anyone have any makeup tips to help conceal the redness? I’ve
tried Visine (doesn’t help) and even green makeup (looks gross).
I have a pretty active social life and this really depresses me when
I want to go out and have a good time and just dance and hang out
with friends.
Thanks for any help

Mindy
