Re: 100% Pure and Skinn Using The Same Models....

HappyDaze · ‎06-13-2012

The only model I recognized from the Skinn shows I've watched and the Pure show was an older model, short hair, has some sun damage/spots on her face. She is the one I mentioned looked really nice in the Pure powder foundation. The foundation really evened out her skintone and made her skin look pretty and a bit younger. It looked much nicer on her than the liquid foundation I saw her in during a SKINN show but the SKINN foundation doesn't really cover much (I know because I have it) so anyone with that type of skin damage/spots, would look much better in something with more coverage, which the Pure foundation apparently must have.

I was pretty impressed with how the models looked in the Pure powder foundation overall but as soon as I heard that it had Eucalyptus in it, I knew it was a pass for me. I am not looking for a new powder foundation currently since I love LG's baked elements but I wanted to make a note of it for the future in case LG discontinues it, changes the formula, or whatever.

My first thought was maybe the reason the models look older wearing Skinns makeup is that Dimitri loves red,dark lipstick and puts it on all of his models which IMO can be very aging on most women.

ITA, @staceyluvsyou. I have several pallets of his lipsticcks and eye shadows, and I don't wear any of his cosmetics. Except and however, his chubby Eyeliner Gel Smudge Sticks are the best I've ever found. I wear them daily, but they're the only cosmetics I use of his. I too think the dark lipsticks are aging on the models.

As for Kat, I've never thought the Radiance cream did her any favors. It turns her almost white with a remarkable difference in face and neck. It's just not a "soft" glow. I'm not surprised her lines and wrinkles can be softened.

I use and have lots of Skinn. I've been watching Paula's Choice and am interested in her exfoliater that stays on the face. Also her retinol. I've been using Dr. Gross retinol w/serilic acid, which is great but expensive. Paula's choice is very low prices.

I've tried the 100% pure eye cream and I like it. The only drawback is that it does not play well with your eyeliners! As for the rest of the line I haven't tried it but I have to wonder how Suzanne Somers feels about the claims that they're making being the only natural line?

I will say that the100% Pure company is tops in my book.

@LTT1 I'm so happy you said that. I've never used this line before. Used to watch Susie when she was on the Q, but just never took the plunge to order. After watching her on Evine, I've ordered 4 things already from her line. I'm such a makeup junkie it's pathetic. I love trying new things. I'm looking forward to trying her liquid primer and foundation that I ordered and her butter lips and her eye cream and her butter crayon lipsticks, etc, etc, etc, lol

I dont think the claim is that 100% Pure is the only natural line, but that it is the only cosmetic line that uses fruit and veggie pigments to get its colors.
