Meanwhile, my consolation was a free Jane Iredale Liquid Minerals in the mail, thanks to a distributor in Pavia. "Natural" turned out to be an almost perfect match so here it is.
It has hyaluronic acid, Q10 enzyme, vitamin C, chamomile extract, sweet almond seed extract, aloe extract, etc. The only drawback is there's no SPF, but my Shu Uemura UV Base has that.It comes in a 30ml (1 fl. oz) pump. $46 on janeiredaledirect.com, but the markup is much higher in Italy.
The first few pumps are not the colour, just the aloe vera gel that you can use on your hands or discard.
After a few pumps, a mix of colour and clear gel comes out. The trick is to work the product with your finger first. Then, apply with a foundation brush.
A word of caution: it does smell like aloe vera, but it disappears.
I've been using this for a week and it feels amazing: fresh, weightless. It feels so good knowing I'm doing something nice for my skin!
One day I had it on from 8am until 10pm, and the colour stayed true all the way. I could really, really feel the difference from regular foundations.
I've ordered a mascara and concealer so we'll see.
The truth is I've never been a big fan of liquid foundations. I've only used it for a few years in my life. In the very beginning, I used Lancome Teint Idole for a year, then I switched to Shu Uemura compact foundations for a few years, before switching to loose powder completely.
Before there was Teint Idole "Ultra", it was simply "Teint Idole".
Try this on Poladroid :-P

It is so good to know you recovered!
I love mineral brands of makeup, and I have been dying to read a good review of the Jane Iredale fluid. It sounds like a product I would like.
I am very happy hear you are doing well now! I know the stomach flu is a nasty things to have :(
That foundation looks amazing on you and it sounds interesting too. But you have such flawless skin I dunno why you even need it!
And thanks so much for the kind words you left on my post. I appreciate it it a lot.
Yeah i really like hearing from you too!
I know nithing about weather jargon but i assume from the way you mentioned the cold front that its not a good thing :( But doesn't milan get pretty hotduring Summer, so Winter isn't so so cold? Or you're just annoyingly climatised to the weather lol.
I've always wondered what do you do in Milan? If its too nosy a question its totally fine to not answer lol. I've just wondered since Milan is a so-called fashion ^_^
Long comment over.
Luv Eeli :P xoxoxooxo
