The Tip is 'Don't procrastinate' For years I've been buying ink jet cartridges from a big box office supply store. These cartridges were made overseas and labeled with the well-known brand of a large American printer company. One I remembered a local store that advertised quality cartridges. I had traveled by this local store hundreds of times but never stopped. This time I stopped at the local store. To my surprise I discovered that they carried the cartridge I needed and it was a Made in USA cartridge. Made in Chicago, to be precise, and it was half the price of the imported ones I had been buying for years. The quality is exceptional and they last longer too. Who knew? After that experience, I make a point to stop at every store I can. By doing so, I've been finding more and more Made in America products. Occasionally the clerks don't know the country of origin; this can be discouraging but finding the origin information yourself isn't difficult I've come to realize. Believe it not, there are actually a number of computers made in the US including laptops made in the USA. When the label is not visibly displayed I use the other Made in America buying tips to help me find Made in US. If the store doesn't carry what you are looking for, use Made in America Secrets to find it and tell the manager about your experience at their store. If enough people are asking for Made in America products stores will begin to carry them. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by LA Minerals L.A. Minerals 3195 Dowlen Rd. Beaumont, TX US Contact Us L.A. Minerals is a fresh face in the cosmetic industry. Founded in February of 2007, by Lorraine Aldean (LA) Pierce, a licensed cosmetologist for 23 years and beauty consultant for various corporations. The desire for safe, pure, functional mineral cosmetics was her driving force to search out the best available products from companies claiming those particular qualities. Over the years what she found was high priced cosmetics containing the same ingredients and makeup chemicals as the drug-store variety, and higher priced cosmetics (containing most of the same ingredients) selling via representatives of companies using a multi-level marketing approach. Even with questionable ingredients, some high end cosmetics are outrageously over-priced. Why? Because of packaging, expensive literature, massive overhead, pricey infomercials, and product profit dribbled down multiple layers throughout some companies multi-level marketing plans! The decision was made to produce top quality, natural mineral makeup at a reasonable price. The results were amazing. At LA Minerals you will find products that are truly safe and pure without breaking the bank. Quality product at a fair price. What a concept! My goal during product development was to include makeup ingredients that met all my criteria: natural source, non-irritating, non comedogenic, soothing, long lasting,and beneficial to the skin. And if not beneficial, at least non-harming. For example Iron Oxide, which is a natural pigment, doesn't benefit your skin, but doesn't harm it either. Yet it produces the desired results, pigmentation of the product. Many hours, weeks and months were spent on research and experimentation. Women are loving the results. I am too! -Lorraine A Pierce.
