Hummm...I'm looking back on my Zia foundation reviews (in the Forums). I see I bought Rose Quartz and Sandstone roughly a year ago.
Well Sandstone has gone bad, after giving me quite a few batches of tinted sunscreen. It's definitely bad. Rose Quartz is hanging in there but I'm not giving it that much longer.
I decided to do two things. One was abandon the two-foundation idea. I don't mind mixing, but for tinting sunscreen, the match does not have to be perfect. It's a waste of money with no true difference in look. It's a tint, so the overall appearance is what's key. In short there's no reason I couldn't replace the two with a one.
The other thing--possibly--store the opened foundation in the fridge. Why not? I mix it. I don't apply it directly to my face so it doesn't matter if it's cold!
I got Zia "Mica" today. What's odd is that, with my summer tan, it actually seems to be a perfect match. At least in artificial light. Sandstone was really yellow and Rose Quartz truly pink, but Mica appears to be more, ah, skin-colored.
I'm going to mix a test batch tomorrow but I have a good feeling about it.
