In order to cure nail fungus, you are going to have to penetrate the nail plate to reach the infection. Until recently, the best known solution was to include three systemic prescription anti-fungal medications and one prescription of topical therapy.

Today, the best known therapy for nail fungus is called Lamisil (terbinafine).

What makes Lamisil a superior solution for nail fungus? The answer is that this medication remains in the nail bed. And because of how well the medicine stays in the nail bed, the therapy time is significantly reduced. The time it takes to completely heal the infection compared to a standard prescription is shortened up to 75%.

Many doctors may prescribe a drug called griseofulvin for nail fungus, which could take up to 2 years to remove the problem entirely. With Lamisil, toenails that are infected with fungus require only up to three months of treatment and fingernails require approximately six to eight weeks, to be completely healed. You can obviously see the massive difference in the time it takes in healing the nails.

Another benefit of Lamisil is that the medicine does not react negatively with other medications (if you are taking any). It is also not hard on your body and has a low risk of systematic effects, such as liver problems. The only common problem that you might experience is diarrhea. However, this is extremely rare as Lamisil has basically been a very well tolerated prescription medication for nail fungus.

Today I am doing my first “official” product review of Bare Minerals Get Started Kit

Bare Minerals are made with pure, crushed minerals from the earth, Bare Minerals SPF 15 Foundation looks like a powder, feels like a cream and buffs on like silk, giving skin a natural glow.

Ever since I was a child, I have this big scar right in the middle of my forehead, and when I always cut my bangs to cover it. Recently I decided I wanted to grow my bangs out, but what to do about the scar? I decided to try Bare Minerals and see if the results are as fantastic as they commercials claim. Continue to read and see for yourself . . .

The Skin Revver-Upper, which is included in the Getting Started Kit is an amazing product. It instantly smooths out skin, giving it a vibrant finish and a canvas surface for makeup application. The thing is, even if you don’t apply the makeup, your skin still looks amazing. It’s like a mini-facelift in a tiny tube.

Another fantastic product by Bare Minerals is the Clear Radiance All-Over Face Color it’s a translucent powder with a soft, pink shimmer that gives your skin life, glow and a natural look that’s gorgeous. It also makes a great blusher and the perfect finishing powder.

bareMinerals Get Started Kit Medium

$60 for this kit may look steep at first, but trust me…it lasts for MONTHS. It’s still not as cheap as drugstore makeup kit, but it is still a lot less expensive than high-end department mineral products. And it makes your skin, look and feel great.

Product Features and Benefits:

I’ve been using this product for over three months now and I highly recommend it. My skin not only looks great but I know that the minerals are actually helping to heal and protect my skin as well.

Please avoid buying the mineral eye liners and eye shadows. For some reason these products just don’t work the way they’re supposed to.  The mineral eye liners and eye shadows clumps up, sticks to the bathroom counter, is hard to clean up and often makes a big mess.
