Are you having trouble finding the perfect foundation or eye shadow color? Tired of finding a color you love and then having it discontinued? Have no fear Custom Blending is coming soon!
I am going to start custom blending Mineral Foundations, Blushes and Eye Shadows at Essential Skin & Beauty! This is a great way to match your skin tone perfectly.
How it works:
On your initial visit you will come in for a formulation. This is where the formula is matched to your skin and adjusted for your specific needs. Do you need Sheer or Full Coverage, Matte or Shimmer, Oil Controlling? All this can be adjusted during the formulation. This visit will take approximately 30 minutes and cost will depend on type of product.
Need a refill? Enjoy a reduced refill price. Bring back your old container for even more savings!
Need an adjustment on your color for summer or winter? For a small fee your original formulation can be adjusted when your skin changes with the seasons!
Watch for more information on pricing coming soon.
For those of you currently using Everyday Minerals: I am discontinuing this line. Please contact me at sales@essentialskinandbeauty.com if you would like to purchase anything from my remaining inventory.

Basic Information About MDA
The Muscular Dystrophy Association is a voluntary health agency working to defeat muscular dystrophy and related diseases through programs of worldwide research, comprehensive services, and far-reaching professional and public health education.
MDA is the largest nongovernmental sponsor of neuromuscular disease research.
More than one million Americans are affected by muscular dystrophy and related diseases. About 250,000 have some form of muscular dystrophy.
Included in the more than 40 neuromuscular diseases covered by MDA are nine forms of muscular dystrophy, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS or Lou Gehrig's disease), myasthenia gravis, spinal muscular atrophy, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease and others.
MDA is the first nonprofit agency to be recognized by the American Medical Association with a Lifetime Achievement Award for "significant and lasting contributions to the health and welfare of humanity."
MDA was founded in 1950 and awarded its first research grant to Dr. Ade Milhorat, a pioneer of modern muscular dystrophy research.
Services
MDA sends almost 4,000 kids with muscular dystrophy and related diseases to MDA summer camps each year, at cost to MDA of $800 per camper. There's no charge to families.
Tens of thousands of people affected by muscular dystrophy and diseases visit MDA's 225 hospital-affiliated clinics and 38 MDA/ALS centers every year.
MDA awards research grants to some 400 teams of scientists and physicians worldwide.
The Association also:
- helps buy and repair wheelchairs, leg braces and augmentative communication devices;
- facilitates meetings of some 240 MDA support groups;
- provides thousands of free flu vaccines to those affected by neuromuscular diseases;
- conducts an ongoing public education program through its Web sites, publications, videos, seminars and media placements;
- and sponsors professional education programs for MDA clinic directors and those they serve.
Community Programs
MDA's 200-plus local offices across the country are a valuable support system, and provide practical information and essential services for people with neuromuscular diseases.
The MDA Art Collection was established in 1992 to focus attention on the creative abilities of individuals with disabilities. The collection includes more than 350 works by adult artists and children, all of whom are affected by neuromuscular diseases.
MDA's National Task Force on Public Awareness serves to advise the Association about issues of interest and importance to people with disabilities. The group consists of adults who are leaders in their communities and are affected by neuromuscular diseases in MDA's program.
Entertainer Jerry Lewis serves as MDA National Chairman and star of the MDA Labor Day Telethon.
Popular singer Billy Gilman is MDA's National Youth Chairman. He spearheads the efforts of teens and young adults who help MDA.
Abbey Umali, 9 , of Redlands, Calif., is MDA's National Goodwill Ambassador. She has a form of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease.
Augie and Lynne Nieto of Corona del Mar, Calif., are chairpersons of MDA's ALS Division. Augie, 50, has amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig's disease. He was co-founder of Life Fitness and is now chairman of Octane Fitness.
Tom Bush of Oro Valley, Ariz., has been named the recipient of the Muscular Dystrophy Association's 2009 Robert Ross National Personal Achievement Award. The award is named in honor of Robert Ross, MDA's longtime chief executive, who died in June 2006. The awards are part of MDA's program for recognizing the achievements and community service of people across the nation who are affected by neuromuscular diseases. Bush, who had a 30-year career with the state of New Jersey, worked as the director of the Office of Disabilities Management before retiring in 1993. He started a second career at MDA's national headquarters in Tucson, working to develop the Association's national Web site. Along the way, he's been a leader with MDA and served on the Tucson MDA Task Force on Public Awareness and worked with the MDA National Task Force on Public Awareness. He also has made several appearances on the national broadcast of the Jerry Lewis MDA Labor Day Telethon.
Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon
The first Telethon was held in June 1955 at Carnegie Hall in New York. The 16 1/2-hour show raised $600,000 for MDA and was broadcast on DuMont station WABD.
The first-ever Telethon held on Labor Day weekend, broadcast in 1966 by just one station in New York City, was the first televised fundraising event of its kind to raise more than $1 million in pledges.
Some 250,000 volunteers across the country will be involved in the Telethon each Labor Day weekend.
The 2008 Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon was the 43rd annual show in the Labor Day weekend series. It was broadcast on some 190 "Love Network" stations across the country and was seen on the Internet at www.mda.org.
The MDA Telethon has been held on Labor Day weekend since 1966.
Ed McMahon is the anchor of the Telethon, and 2008 was his 42nd Telethon.
No tickets are available to see the national Telethon live. We wish it were otherwise, but the best seat in the house is often right in front of your television screen.
Jerry Lewis and Celebrities
Jerry Lewis receives no pay for his tireless year-round work for MDA. He is MDA's "number-one volunteer" and star of the Telethon.
Other celebrities serve as Telethon co-hosts and performers. None of the celebrities on the Telethon receive any pay for their efforts.
No one knows why Jerry Lewis, MDA's number-one volunteer, chooses to devote so much time to helping people with neuromuscular diseases. He feels it isn't important why he's involved; rather, it's important that he's involved.
