The Cancer Cart

A note from Rachel:

She “needs” this bareMinerals powder because: Her pores are unionizing and threatening to strike. She’s hoping seven vegan ingredients and a bit of SPF will convince them to settle down and return to normal working conditions. Her T-zone could fry an egg by 2PM. This matte finish powder is her last line of defense before she starts blotting with fast food napkins again. She still believes in minimal makeup with maximum results, even though her skin laughs in “hormonal imbalance.” This powder is her peace treaty. She wants coverage but also moral superiority. It’s vegan, talc-free, and comes in a recycled-looking jar, so she can pretend she’s saving the Earth while muting her adult acne. It’s the only thing she hasn’t broken out from. She tried everything else—BB cream, CC cream, DD cream (okay not real but you get it)—and every one of them turned her face into a cautionary tale. BareMinerals is the last guest still welcome on her face. So yeah, Rachel “needs” it like she “needs” to keep 34 open browser tabs about “how to fix your skin from the inside out” but still eats cheese fries twice a week. Let her have this one.
