My best friends mom used to work for Merle Norman and ended up giving me a sample of Luxiva Lasting Makeup. I absolutely love it.

I have to admit I have been pretty lucky. I have had relatively clear skin my entire life. So, when I got laid off recently switching to a less expensive (read: drugstore) foundation didn't seem like a big deal to me.

I was so wrong. Cheap foundation mixed with the Texas summer heat and walking around campus all day had given me the worst case of acne I have had in my 22 years of life. My friends all told me that I had finally reached puberty....
