Natural Loose Mineral Foundation – Cool Beige by Youngblood for Women – 0.35 oz Foundation

This mineral makeup is, by far, THE best on the market. The coverage is exceptional. The first time I came across it was at my hair salon. My young stylist used it, and she was living proof. Her skin and makeup always looked flawless, so I decided to give it a try. Being ‘older’, I was a bit reluctant, thinking it would make my skin look dry. Not at all. It covered up all my imperfections without having a caked on look. It’s like magic. Any pigmentation, freckles, unevenness in tone, all vanish with Youngblood. It works exceptionally well at covering up ACNE so much so that my SON used to ask me to apply it to his face before he went off to school. I once went in to my local spa, walked over to the makeup counter to see if they had any of this type, and they didn’t. When the woman at the desk asked if I needed any help, I started to explain that I was looking for a certain type of mineral makeup that they didn’t have, and how much I thought it was the best on the market, without giving her the brand name.She then said ‘is it youngblood?”.. I thought i’d die! I immediately responded by saying a big YES! She said, “I know, but we don’t sell it here”. I looked everywhere in my area, and couldn’t find…so I tried Amazon, and sure enough, they have it!!!!!

To start I have been a regular liquid foundation user. But as I am pushing 30 I realize I should be using things that will benefit my skin. I normally have good skin however I noticed with my regular liquid foundation it was starting to clog my pores and therefore I have been getting zits everywhere. Well I decided to give up liquid foundation all together and find myself a nice mineral foundation that would be beneficial to my skin. I heard of Youngblood and thought of giving them a try but there weren’t many reviews on youtube so I ventured onto Bare minerals/escentuals which ended up being pure garbage! I am not oily skin by any means and after about 3-4 hours I was a grease ball not to mention it broke me out, imagine that their advertisements say its so pure you can sleep in it yet I broke out hmmm. So I moved on to a mineral foundation by Jane Iredale and this as well was garbage. Then I climbed the ladder to a more expensive mineral foundation by La Bella Donna this was the worst one out of them all I not only was so oily I thought you could fry an egg on my skin but it broke me out like the rest. Lastly I tried a Indie company called Terra Firma and it was the least worst out of the others but still no go for me as it made me look chalky. I was up to my ears at this point and was going to give up on the whole mineral foundation thing but thought back about how I never tried Youngblood and it was the first one I initially was going to try anyways but didn’t. So I bought the Youngblood loose mineral foundation in Soft Beige and their loose rice setting powder. I am nc15-nc20 in Mac and the Soft Beige matched me perfectly! It is so silky smooth and looks absolutely amazing on my skin. Oh my goodness there is actually coverage with this as opposed to the others that offered nothing. The best part is I have not broken out with using this mineral foundation and rice powder, in fact the breakouts I’ve got from using all that other garbage has been calming down and clearing up. I am so thrilled to have finally found a mineral foundation that is everything I would have envisioned it to be. I would highly recommend this to every woman. My search is over! LOVE THIS STUFF!!

This is an awesome full coverage foundation and I love that it is gluten free!! I searched for so long for gluten free makeup that would not break me out. I have super sensitive skin and Celiac Disease so I found that any gluten containing product irritated my skin and caused acne. I really like that this was formulated for people to use after cosmetic procedures so it wouldn’t cause skin irritation. This foundation was my HG for several years, and the coverage is amazing! It also gives even coverage that isn’t splotchy and lasts all day. I purchased and used it exclusively for a long time and I love that usually one swipe would cover any spots or scars. I still use it occasionally, but I found that as I am getting older, the powder settled easily into my pores and fine lines that are appearing. I will continue to purchase this as I think it is such a great foundation, although I’m in search of a good liquid that won’t irritate my skin and will cover my pores a little better.

Based on multiple mineral loose powder foundations I’ve tried, Youngblood has the most coverage with one layer than any others I had tried. This means it takes less time to apply foundation, and also I find that the more layers I have to apply to get coverage, the more textured the look. So the fact that Youngblood provides good coverage in one application is a good thing. The packaging is also superior to others as the lid provides sufficient surface space to swivel powder into a larger powder brush. It is challenging to select foundation shades based on photos, so I usually google the images to get a better feel. Most brands of loose mineral foundations do not offer an extensive color range, the only exception would be Bare Minerals. I am NC 20-25. I find that with loose mineral makeup, I need to select a shade that is at least 1, if not 2 shades lighter because they all tend to oxidize and turn darker. When I first apply the foundation it may seem that the shade is too light, but it soon oxidizes and the color is just right. A shade that looks just right upon application will be too dark within a matter of half an hour.

Lightweight goes on soft

This motor worked perfectly for the Broan Nutone 763RL vent I put it in. Be sure you measure the shaft length on the original motor you are replacing. I found most of the fan shafts, online and in-store, measure 3/16 X 1 3/4 (1.75) inches, which was just a bit too long for what I needed. This particular fan motor shaft measured 3/16 X 1 1/2 (1.5) inches which was what I needed to make it fit. The fan blade itself looked the same but the hole the shaft is supposed to fit into was super tight and I was afraid I might break it if I forced it any more (seller should address this). I just used the original fan from the broken motor which worked fine. If you have to use the included fan blade, I recommend using a drill bit just big enough to bore it out slightly. I also used the original screws from the old motor because they were just a bit shorter and fit better for my vent space. It comes CCW which is what I needed, but you can flip it around if you need it CW. Very quiet compared to the old one and I would buy it again. This is a 50 CPM for a small bathroom and it plugs right in.

I got my shade for $28 I think and it’s a perfect match. I was worried because of the price that it would be old or damaged but it works as well as I remember! I’m a makeup artist and this makeup is great for your skin. I read that a cosmetic surgeon created this for their patients to wear shortly after surgery, that’s how gentle it is on your skin. It covers very well and give a luminous finish which is great because cheap powder foundation looks dusty and dry. Buff it in with a kabuki brush (remember those?) to get full coverage. This line is like Bare Minerals but WAY better. If you’re wondering if it’s worth the money, I’m telling you it is!

Broan 678 fan slow to start and making loud annoying squeaky chirping sounds. This motor+fan is a direct replacement. Easy to install, literally about 10 minutes. Hardest part was attaching the new fan to the new motor although not too difficult, just a little muscle to push it in. It now turns on when I flick the switch and no more squeaks. Does sound a bit louder than the old one but probably because it is new and working as it is supposed to and the old one was just old and weak. Overall I am happy. Received prime next day delivery and the price was so much cheaper than buying a complete unit replacement.
