A good kind of problem to have!

I was talking to my husband the other day about the cosmetic line I rep (poor guy, he hears it all!) and explaining to him something that I recently realized!

My whole life, I was never a foundation-wearer.  I didn't do powder, foundation, nothing!  After I had my 1st baby, my son, I was sleep deprived and I started to have an issue with the dark circles under my eyes.  So, I added concealer to my very simple routine.  It was sometime between baby 1 and baby 2 that I met up with my good friend who introduced me to Motives in the first place.  In an effort to support her, I let her make me a custom blend mineral powder foundation.  I used it the next day and quickly became hooked.  I had tried Bare Minerals before but was displeased because I felt like it had a powdery look which I just can't stand.  However, I did not find that to be the case with my Motives Mineral Powder.  It truly looked natural, didn't feel dry, and it gave a nice coverage.  Soon after, I became a rep myself and ended up trying a new foundation- the current #1 selling foundation for our company- the Liquid-to-Powder Mineral Foundation.  And, wouldn't you know it?  I loved it, too!  I used that for almost a whole year before I decided to go back and try something else.  This time,  I made myself a custom-blended liquid mineral foundation.  Not surprisingly, I fell in love with that one too.  With each one I felt I had found something better than the last.  For someone who never wore foundation, I truly find this amazing!

But, here's the real kicker... Because I still have all of these foundations, I switch between them every so often for different reasons- every time I switch to a new one, I say to myself, "This one's my favorite!" and then I go to the next one and say the same thing.  I literally cannot decide which one I like the best!  They all feel completely natural and have great coverage so it's so hard to decide.  All things considered, I do think I like my custom liquid foundation the best but that's because I have customized it exactly to my liking by adding a hydrator, a botanical treatment, and a anti-aging treatment.  Every time I put it on I feel like I am nourishing my face.  It's perfect for me.  And, I bet you I could make you one that is perfect for you!  The best part?  This summer, as my face gets more tan, I can add more pigment to my formula and darken it without having to buy a whole new bottle!  Less waste, less money= HAPPY GIRL!

So, I am in love with 3 foundations!  I'd say that's a good problem to have, wouldn't you??!  Are there any products out there that you are in love with?
