    After faffing about with the minerals - I just apply it in a rather cavalier manner now... takes me about a minute! Probably less. I found that when I first used it, the longer I mucked about with it - the worse it was and I over applied it. I also didn't really get on with the kabuki brush and use a slightly different one.

    I will try and find the link for the comfrey - you can get it in various places in the high street, but this one is rich in allantoin, which is very healing :D

    Be back shortly...

    Oh re the brush - I use what they call the little pink brush from Elemental Beauty. Re the application - less really is more.. :D

    Think I've done the 'linky' thing ok...

    Its too greasy to wear under make up, I apply it at night only - or if I am having a slovenly day in! I does take a good few weeks to settle your skin down, so be patient.

    This is the brush I love... will order myself a new one I think!

    Good luck - and try a mix of what you think your natural shade is with one a few shades darker - it works for me. If you put too much on, I found it caked and settled in lines.... and I don't really 'buff' like made - I sort of quickly 'fluff' it over! I think the secret is finding your own way of doing it that suits you.

    I assume you like me know all the food stuffs you have to avoid. :(

    Red wine :cry: Spicy foods.:undecided Just to name a few.

    Avoid strenuous exercise. :j. But if I don't want to be huge I have to do this one. :angry:.

    Actually I think I do all the wrong things. :eek:

    I just use dove soap and a mild face cream. Unfortunately I have to take constant medication to avoid server flair ups.

    Mineral make up is fab as a none foundation wearer I find it covers up the redness and I don't feel closed in. ( If you know what I mean:o)
