Comment on Lisha Lynn Mineral Cosmetics Foundation (+ Giveaway) by Allie

Hi Lena,

I don’t actually use an animal hair brush with the mineral makeup, and I haven’t had any itching. There isn’t any bismuth oxychloride in the product. I’m still using Lisha Lynn foundation, and am absolutely thrilled with it.

I’m glad you’ve found something that works for you too.

Organic instant coffee WOULD be delicious with those flourless chocolate cupcakes. In fact, I may need to make those for the holiday season.

i wish you would have considered doing a contest with a company that doesn’t use ANIMAL hair brushes! they break off on your face and shed leaving little black hairs all over my perfect mineralized complexion! maybe you can get my fave brand, Afterglow to run a contest with their vegan brushes (no animal hair = no shedding!). if you are still looking for a mineral brand tht doesn’t itch (that’s the bismuth oxychloride ingredient) and stays on all day you should check out my current obsession Afterglow Cosmetics. They have a 100% money back guarantee and can help you find your shade over the phone (sounds weird but it works - the beauty advisor was spot on!!)

Mickey - Awesome!

Wendy - Thank you so much! I really appreciate your post and spreading the word!

Jess - I did a post on Nalgene bottles awhile ago - http://alliesanswers.com/tip-of-the-day/tip-of-the-day-repurpose-your-old-nalgene-bottle/1698

I haven’t noticed a taste from my bottle. It may depend on the brand. I feel like plastic bottles give off more of a taste. I think it’s all about what you’re used to.

So, here’s a question: What do I do with my apparently poisonous Nalgene bottle that I bought because I thought it was better for the environment?? Any ideas?

Also, a friend told me that the metal water bottles do have a metallic taste. I don’t know if that applies to all of them or just some brands. I’m just wondering about other people’s experience with the taste.

Thanks!

Hi Allie, I also need a water bottle. Will check this out.
Thanks for the body wash - I received it yesterday and used it this morning. I really appreciate you mailing it out to me in Canada.
Check out the story on my blog and the link to both you and Neil. If there is anything else I can do to help Neil, please let me know.

I may have to try this at my own office. I’m the only one who uses the coffee pot here which means I’m the only one who cleans it, and I’m usually too lazy to do that I think (think) I saw this at our local Earthfares store, which is the closest thing we have to Whole Foods.

I’m gonna go have some coffee now.

This sounds like a great thing for backpacking. I never do coffee in the woods because I don’t want to bother with cleaning my reusable filter, which doesn’t make very good coffee anyway.

I knew I was waiting to buy a new water bottle for a reason. Here it is!

Interesting, I’ve never had instant coffee in anything but baked goods. I do prefer instant cappuccino to regular (aside from the fact that I can’t make real cappuccino at home anyway) so that would be cool.
