La Bella Donna Training!

Hello All,
Today I wanted to share some wonderful knowledge with you that we learned at our most recent La Bella Donna Training! For those of you who are not familiar with La Bella Donna, this is an all natural mineral make up line whose mission is to bring you top quality makeup that benefits your skin and helps your skin feel beautiful and healthy all at the same time. The loose mineral powder by this amazing product line contains only 4 mineral ingredients which not only gives you awesome coverage with a light and natural feel but also acts as an SPF 20 and a primer for your skin! Some of the other products in this line are just as fabulous (reference our blog on the new CC Cream) and all work hard to promote skin health while also giving you the results you expect from makeup. During our training we learned that while there are hundreds of mineral make ups on the market none of them are truly mineral lines. The government allows any line to call itself mineral as long as they have one, yes, only one mineral ingredients. That means that many of the make up lines out there that claim to be "mineral" contain trace amounts of one mineral and are filled with fillers like corn starch, which surely is not something you want on your skin. The La Bella Donna line unlike its competitors is completely mineral based and there are no harsh fillers in any of there products from the mascara, to their lip color lines to their liquid foundations! Furthermore, because this line is all natural the makeup is able to adhere to the skin easily and flawlessly giving you the benefit of easy even all day coverage. Here at Le Reve we have an extensive product selection of La Bella Donna products and all of us are trained in color matching and consults so you can make sure you get the proper makeup for your skin color, and even product that will help combat oily skin or dry skin types. So come in and test our knowledge of this awesome line and see for yourself how an actual organic makeup line looks and feels on your skin!

Micronized titanium dioxide is the key. It is found naturally in minerals and does not clog pores or dry out the skin. It works quite remarkably. Basically, it allows light to pass through the visible ray region (light that is needed for healthy development of skin) while intercepting the ultraviolet rays. Micronized titanium dioxide guards against the damaging effects of ultraviolet rays, yet gives the skin a natural looking finish. Research shows micronized titanium dioxide provides a natural barrier to UVA and UVB radiation without irritation, burning or stinging.
