Hello. I found Sandra's site a few months before my wedding (now 3 years ago) and I love this mineral makeup. I have not been to the site in a long time, so I apologize if my first question has already been covered.
1. I bought a bulk bag of the foundation I use and it has lasted me a good long while - maybe 2 years. I liked buying the bulk bag because it cut down on my orders and shipping cost. Is the larger size no longer available?
2. The foundation I've been using is Antique Ivory. My skin has pink undertones which I would like to minimize. I just read that Antique Ivory is for "light skin with slight yellow/peach undertones". Is using a foundation for skin with yellow undertones a good way to minimize redness? I would hate to find out I've been using the wrong color all this time...
3. Just wondering about the yellow correction and green correction color concealers. What is each good for? I have both red blemishes and dark undereye circles.
Thank you!

Hi,
We only sell in bulk now to wholesalers.
And it must be 100.00 worth minimum. If you are interested in this, email me directly. Otherwise I may be able to sell you 2 jars worth in a bag instead of a jar.. i'll have to look into a price.
The antique Ivory does have some yellow tones that is likely helping to minimize any redness. Sounds like it is working well for you if you have been using it for 2 years. 
The correction colors are good for mixing with foundation or finish powder to help get the right tones. Yellow helps with redness. Green will takes away the orange in a foundation and also helps with redness.
For the blemishes I would try using the Kaolin Treatment to help heal them rather than just trying to cover them up with correction powders.  Dab a little kaolin on at night before bed, you can make a paste from it with a drop or 2 of water. You can also take a shadow size brush and dust a little kaolin on spots before applying makeup. Then take a little foundation and do the same on the spots. Then do your entire face as usual.
Some powders tend to settle into fine lines under eyes.  I would try maybe a little concealer cream mixed with a little foundation. Apply very lightly and blend. Also maybe an under eye lightening cream - which I don't have right now - maybe in the near future. But you can try the drug stores.
Hope that helps!!

Great, thank you Sandra. I think I will try the Kaolin Treatment.
Please let me know how much you would charge to double my foundation order and have it in a bag. I already have a jar, so I do not need another one. If possible, I would love to do the same with an order of Pearl Silk Dust. I thought it was fantastic and already have a jar for it I can refill.
I was browsing your site and found the LaurEss Jump Start Light. I know the Pearl Silk Powder also has oil absorbing properties. Could I just use the Pearl Silk as both a primer and finisher? Would it be worth also getting the Jump Start?

Hi, You can try the pearl dust as a primer, but It does not have the exact same ingredients as the Jump Start.. so the 2 may work different on your skin. Maybe try a sample of the jump start and see what you think. I'll see if I have one to throw in for you, just remind me. $36 for an order of foundation in a bag with no jar. $24.00 for the pearl dust in a bag. Do you want matte dust?
I added them to the website for anyone that wants to order that way.
