Beauty By Josi: New Mineral Makeup...DYG!

Hola Amigos!!!! Freshly back from the beach I've been looking for a new foundation...as much as I would like it, no SPF & sun hat in the world is going to keep my face from getting SOME color (and what about the whole melanin-mustache/hyper-pigmentation thing REGARDLESS of how hard I try and protect it? I wish someone could've given me a book on what to expect from my skin after I hit 30...

And as you all know I jumped on the mineral makeup bandwagon with both feet a few years back....so when I heard of new mineral makeup line that offered anti-aging benefits I just HAD to try it...when I found out it was developed by a dermatologist I got even more hot and bothered.

Check out DYG Mineral Makeup!  Created by Dianne York-Goldman co-founder and president of the acclaimed La Jolla Spa MD along with dermatologist  Dr. Mitchel P. Goldman, this makeup line offers benefits that no other line can claim right now....(can you IMAGINE if your hubby was a dermatologist?)  I'm sorry but I would be like "Honey..be sure to bring home those 5mls of Botox and the Cortisone injections from work..I've had another breakout and the kids have really been making me mad today"  I'd probably have a separate "injection" room in my house....lol...yeah, it's funny but kinda sad at the same time....)!

But seriously, I was delighted with the results of their Liquid Powder Foundation SPF 15 ($42).  Vanilla Creme was the perfect match for my post-Mexico face and it went on like a dream.  This oil-free foundation has a wonderful souffle-like texture that smooths onto the skin seamlessly - then dries down to a beautiful matte finish without looking too powdery (I still set with loose powder because I am a freak like that...) BUT if I was hip and could get over it, this stuff really needs no powder at all....one difference I noticed with this liquid-to-powder foundation right away was that it didn't dry down too fast...so it gives you plenty of blending time (my favorite method of application with this one is with a makeup sponge) blending out and then stippling where you need more coverage.

It gave me  medium-to-full coverage and I found that if you need additional concealer, taking a small concealer brush and using  the more concentrated,dried product off the cap works great....very pigmented and hides like a dream.. It's an all-in-one - worked wonderful under eyes, no creasing or caking but enough coverage to hide my circles (and they are pretty bad..it's a hereditary thing...thanks Dad)!

Oh yeah....and what is different about DYG? Dianne and the doctor worked together to formulate a one-of-a-kind anti-aging ingredient called Vitaphenol.  Vitaphenol is delivered to the skin in all their mineral formulas and is one of the most powerful antioxidant complexes to hit the market today.  It contains a blend of pomegranate, magnosteen and green and white tea extracts to protect the skin from all the usual suspects....That, along with the SPF and you are good to go girls!

So yeah, I am happy. I really enjoy this makeup and it is so easy...one product for my entire face..eyes, zits, brown spots and all..

DYG cosmetics are available for purchase at www.dygcosmetics.com or by calling their makeup boutique @ 858.459.6868.

Be Beautiful Ya'll!!!
