Okay, this isn't actually today, but I forgot to post on Thursday, which is when I actually wore this stuff. :)

After trying a bunch of samples from Willow Tree Minerals (they have a web site but so far I've been buying from their Etsy shop), I recently got full sizes of several products. I've always loved the idea of mineral foundation, especially on days I don't want to spend a lot of time on makeup, but I always had a really hard time finding something that worked for my dry skin. Willow Tree's satin formula works beautifully for me, and the shop owner custom-blended a foundation shade for me.

So, I wore the Willow Tree satin foundation, Apple Spice blush, Shell eyeshadow, and Pouting Plum lip shimmer. Also Fyrinnae loose shadow in Faust. I really can't rave enough about the satin foundation formula. It evens out my skin but doesn't look powdery/cakey, and doesn't turn my skin into a big puddle of grease (which happens with powders that are too drying/oil-absorbent for me).
