MINERAL MAGIC

By now you've surely heard of mineral make up, but mineral make up customized for your exact skin tone? That's the best news we've heard since "Cashmere Mafia" made its debut.

Vancouver-based Haut Minerals cosmetics are bismuth-free, talc-free, fragrance-free, anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial and, as if that weren't enough, they help to treat rosacea and speed healing after laser treatments.

The powder foundation ($59, 6-month supply) goes on light as air with the excellent Kabuki Brush ($36.50) and because of its healing qualities, the more you wear it, the better your skin will look.

Forget minerals, this sounds like a goldmine.
