I haven't heard of this brand before.  Shawn is having an hour show @ 10 pm with this brand.  Has anyone tried it?

I really like the story behind why/how she started the brand (Romeo was her beloved horse).

 

I like the skincare/makeup over 50 concept, but with my combo/oily skin, I don't think it would last past noon.  This line seems ideal for dry complexions.

I agree.  I am almost 72 and I have combo skin with an oily tzone.  This would never work with my skin.  Watching the show, all the models looks a little too shiny .  I have used Bare Minerals for years and it is still my one and only.  Just got the new SPF in the twist up stick so I am set for summer.  Oh... and I use RMS powder blush.

@San Antonio Gal   I watched the show.  I too liked the story of her horse and the rescue of all the horses.

 

I didn't particularly care for the different shades so the different models.  It had a whitish undertone and  looked very oily.   I don't like that feeling on my skin.  I do like Laura Mercuer tinted Moisturizer and I also use Bare Minerals tinted moisturizer,  Bith have good shades and moisturing without the shine

I have tried the Best Days tinted moisturiser and I will say it does seem a bit oily.  But I use a bit of powder in the t-zone and it helps.  Also use a powder bronzer and it somewhat mattifies the skin a bit.  I think I am interested in trying a concealer from this brand.

I'm impressed with Michele, her story, what she's creating, the age group, though anyone can use the products, and not presenting at sky-high prices.

 

I'm trying a few items: the serum spray and tinted moisturizer with an SPF,  in the jar, not the tube.. I saw that as the models were applying it looked a bit whitish and shiny, but it seemed to dry quickly.  

 

Afterwards, I thought they looked nice, of course, models with seemingly smooth skin,  without age spots or more than fine wrinkles, aren't like me. 

 I have fine and not-so-fine wrinkles, a few good-sized age spots, which I really should have checked.

 

I like to see models who have similar facial features to mine. There was one with some sun damage and a few wrinkles;  her before and afters were impressive. I could see a difference.

 

 Actually, I also need a tinted moisturizer with a waterproof SPF.  So if anybody knows a good one, let me know, please.

 

I was too late to try the balm for cheeks and lips; however, when it's back in stock, I'll try.

 

I'm loving Doll 10 lip balm in the pink metallic tubes, I think they came in a pack of 3 or 4.

 I like them all, but the one thats very dark, like a burgundy, is my favorite.  I have a light to slight medium tone. I love the color on my lips and cheeks, it doesn't go on dark.

The only thing is that when I wear it for blush, it doesn't last very long.

 

Michele's touching story about Romeo and the other horses moved me. I adore horses and especially rescue places for them and other animals; donkeys, all farm animals, wildlife, strays,  they all hold a special place in my heart.

 

That might be why, within one year, I rescued a pregnant kitten with six kittens who were born 1 week after I adopted her.  I kept Mama and one of the kittens. She was such a loving, sweet, watchful Mama, and still is.

 

My adult children adopted 2 after 10 weeks of being with Mama, and a few very responsible people made loving homes for the other three.

 

A year later, there was a badly injured cat. It looked like someone just dumped him into our neighborhood. I took him in during the winter because he would've never have survived. After four months of him being on rabies watch, I decided we were keeping him because I wasn't releasing him back out to possibly be in the same situation.

 

He was neutered within two weeks of being brought into our home, vaccines given, and microchipped.

He's a sweet guy

😻

I'm interested to know what others think of Iris & Romeo's purchases.

@skittles2. After I had a facial the esthetician recommended a
a tinted moisturizing with SPF. I now use most of their products and love them . They are a bit pricey but do see a difference in my skin . The website is FHF and all natural! They are very much into saving animals and esp horses snd have their stories on the website. Give it a look ! Farm House Fresh

I was completely turned off by how shiny every person's face looked after that tinted moisturizer.  How awful that must feel on your face, especially in summer.
