It’s no secret that I’m a bareMinerals junkie. Can’t get enough of it. I would snap a pic of my collection for you, but then I might find myself on an episode of Intervention. Actually, I did snap a pic, but I’m too embarrassed to post it because that drawer is such a mess. Maybe another day. Instead, here’s a tidy little photo of my new favorite for you… As you may recall, I recently ordered a brand new bareMinerals product from QVC (it was the TSV, how could I resist?) and promised to share my opinion. Until now, their foundation has always been in loose mineral form. While I’ve loved the former product, it can be messy. Enter their new READY Foundation in solid…

My Favorite Summer Beauty Products

No, I am not being paid to review any of these products. I am simply a makeup junkie and I love to share good finds. My favorite brand is bareMinerals (I have enough bM to sink a small ship). I’ve been a groupie for over a decade and they very rarely disappoint. Not all beauty products are created equal. There are a lot of “lemons” out there (don’t you hate it when the promises on the package/website are an outright lie!?). My routine changes all the time, but right now, these are my faves: bareMinerals Active Cell Renewal Night Serum I started using this product around the same time that I went Vegan (February of 2012). Not long after, my (usually very problematic, acne-prone skin) cleared up…

Welcome to 86 Lemons. My name is Livvy. Thanks for stopping by! I test a wide variety of seemingly fun DIY projects, vegan recipes and consumer products (like the latest mascara, for example). Then I report to you with the inside scoop. You'll get the real story on which ones are worth your attention and which ones are "lemons" to be avoided. Read more on my ABOUT page.
