Hi it’s me Melody from Albuquerque.
I wanted to give you an update on my use of your skin care line. I purchased the Honey Foaming Cleansing Gel, Perfect Balance Facial Toner and Calm & Refresh Face Cream. I told you prior I was going to wait to use all my proactive. Well I took it back, got my money back, and started on this line 3 weeks ago.
I have taken Pictures close up ugly pictures. I take one every week on same day of the week to see what change my face is making. I almost emailed you the second day to tell you I’m in love, but I didn’t want to jump the gun. Well it will be a month the first Friday of September and I’m still in love. Everyday my face is smoothing out, the little bumps are leaving day by day, my face is looking more and more like a baby’s butt instead of a greasy pizza. I love that when I called you, you never promised a miracle, you tell it like it is, and that is priceless.
I used proactive for ten years, yes it helped but only at first, after reading your blogs I saw why. It all makes perfect sense. My body wasn’t letting my face clear up because all the crap in proactive was keeping my face from doing it’s natural thing. I just turned 32 on August 23rd and I still can’t believe it took me all these years to find a AWESOME PRODUCT THAT DOES WHAT IT SAYS! If I ever meet you I’m gonna give you the biggest hug ever. I would be happy to send you the pictures from week to week I just want to wait till my face is all the way clear, I have a feeling I will be in the next couple weeks.
Thanks from the bottom of my heart. Skin care is life care. Thanks thanks thanks!

This is not like me to write a company to tell them how much I love their product, in fact I never have done it, but I have to let you know how happy you are making women.
I’m 31 and have been trying to find a good makeup my whole life. I had started using minerals in 2004 starting with BE (made me look oily in minutes), MAC (made me look orange), Avon (gave me a rash) I was on a mission to find a good make up. I found a company called After Glow that I almost tried, but then I found you, and my life is so much better because of it!
Your web site is awesome with all the information, the color choice is in incredible, and most of all I love that you make three types of formula’s. When I ordered I was not expecting to be this happy, I asked for two samples and gave one to my sister. She used it until it was gone and tried her BE again (because she had just bought it right before I gave her the sample) she wore it one day and sent me a email saying “that she just ordered your product, BE makes me look so washed out and painted on, holey crap what crap”. And I have to agree. Thank you for your hard work!
Next step for me I want to finish using my proactive and try your ONATI products (I still have not found something that I love for face wash) I just saw your media zone and was shocked at today’s post. I signed the form via facebook. Please don’t let this happen fight for us to keep your product and I will too.
Thankfully yours,

Dear Katherine,
I just have to say – thank you for making these products!! I have been using your products (makeup & brushes) now for a year. When I started my skin was a mess!! I had very bad rosacea and was so embarrassed. Due to your make up and diet changes my skin is now smooth and younger looking. I am also able to wear your eye makeup. I have not been able to wear eye make up since my twenties. I love your products! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!!!
Have a great day & keep up the good work. I am hooked for life 
Sincerely,

Dear Katherine,
I received my moisture care cream on this past Saturday. I suffer from very bad combination skin, acne and dry skin patches, enlarged pores. If I use something moisturizing, normally I get breakouts from it and millaria on the top of my cheekbones, just under the bags of the eyes. If I use something for the acne, my skin gets parched. I have had dry patches right at the top of the cheekbones for 5 years. I used exfoliants, wash cloths, masks and they would get rid of the dry patches for a day and then they were back.
After using Onati moisture care cream, my skin appears less dry and it is not causing any acne. Even though it is not touted for acne, I decided to buy it for the moisturizing properties, I am so happy I did and I thank for you the Sterling Minerals, which go on like silk, with no blotching, no buildup, just beautiful coverage, my pores appearance seemed to have diminished as well. And I have only been using the minerals for a week. Your service is exemplary and so fast. From Idaho to Ohio in two days!
Don’t ever stop making your products, they have changed my life in a week. I had stopped going out socially because my skin looked so bad, I had tried the supposedly best selling mineral makeup in the past and all I got was buildup and uneven coverage. Saturday evening I went to an animal rescue benefit and actually got compliments on how good I looked!
As a breast cancer survivor who took 3 strong chemotherapies, my skin had gotten to the worst its ever been, and I became a prisoner in my home. I now feel good about the way I look and once more want to be out in the world! Thank you, thank you again. For everything. I will be ordering full size products next month. Like many in my age group, 60′s that is, I am on SS so try to use my income wisely. This has been such a wonderful investment.
Most Sincerely,
Kathleen B.

Hi there,
I recently bought some of the Onati products and I have to say they are the best I have ever used!!! I am 23 and I have pretty good skin that leans dry, but do get the occasional pimple and have some redness. I also wear your minerals btw, which are also awesome! They don’t cause me any problems at all. In fact that is how I began as a customer only now deciding to spring for your skincare. I am currently using the Revitalizing Cleansing Lotion, Perfect Balance Facial Toner and Moisture Care. I especially luv them since they feel fantastic and the cleanser is great because it doesn’t dry out my skin at all. The face cream also doesn’t leave me greasy!
What I did have to tell you though is after using the skincare regime on my face for about a week my mom commented on my face by telling me my makeup looked really good and not overdone. The thing is I wasn’t wearing any makeup. She was truly amazed!! All I had on was my mascara. That was the moment, I am sold on your products forever. My skin looks better and even in color, and no irritation, and so far no new pimples. Now I can use less mineral makeup making it last longer for me. This is a huge thing for me and my pocketbook since I don’t believe in going cheap but I do have to watch my budget at times.
Thanks so much for making such great skincare and minerals. Will you be making lip liners any time soon?
I think you’ll be hearing from my mom soon because I saw her on your website last night. lol

Dear Sterling Minerals Team,
I received my order last Thursday and immediately applied everything according to your “Flawless Face Technique.” All I can say is…I am stunned!! I am simply blown away by what your minerals have done for my complexion! Please, bear with me even though I know I sound quite dramatic — first, let me backtrack a little and say that I am 43 years old and have been using mineral makeup and natural skincare for about four years. I have tried many different mineral companies (10-12) and even liked several, including the one I’ve been using the last two years.
I have struggled with adult cystic-type acne for years and have not been able to quite get it under control. I have also over the last couple of years developed areas of small bumps along my cheeks, (strangely enough it’s the area where blush is applied.) Evening Rose Veil has not created any further problems with giving me cystic acne! How is that possible ?! I know only time will tell if all the ingredients agree with my skin and don’t cause any future breakouts. But I have complete confidence that your mineral formula will cover the area and help diminish any redness and give my complexion a “Flawless” look — no matter what! The coverage and completely natural look, not to mention the staying power of your foundation is unbelievable!!!!!
With your minerals I have the skin I always wanted and please believe my complete sincerity when I say that your Sterling Minerals products are an answer to my prayers.
Many, Many Thanks!

Hello again Katherine,
I just wanted to touch base and let you know I am still seeing only good things with my Sterling Minerals experience. In fact, I just placed another pretty big order including two more jars of Evening Veil. I have decided that this would also be great for my teenage son and pre-teen daughter to use at night as their complexions are now starting to see some breakouts.
With continued success, I am planning on enabling others to your wonderful company. I am sure they would love to know about your products.
Thank you so much again, for your natural looking and beneficial minerals!!

Hi Katherine,
Just wanted to let you know how much I’m enjoying your lip products! The lipstick is very nice, the feel and moisture of it is great, and the color is soft and very pretty. I LOVE the lip gloss, I wear it daily! The color is perfect, and I think I’ll be getting it in a lipstick too. Great formulations, very balanced, flattering, and easy to wear.
Thanks!
