Mineral makeup is getting big. During my last visit, my dermatologist was just patiently listening to my endless trivias about mineral makeup, but when I visited her awhile ago, she was just telling me that they were everywhere! ( I warned her, though, to differentiate accordingly. )

Anyway, for my friends residing in the United States, this is a great event, and if you’re in the area, you might want to check this out!

Mineral Makeup Event : Pur Minerals’ Joli Baker Goes to Ulta!

With all the fun summer night parties, I’ve been dizzy with delight in enjoying the season’s weather ( erm but turned stormy lately ) , and vibe of being free ( summer just feels so liberating! ), the mindset’s more of “living for the moment.”

Anyway, speaking of parties, one night, a beauty blogger friend of mine buzzed me in YM and told me,
“Here’s the kind of liquor that your parents WOULD approve,”. Hmm, okay, it turned out to be Lumiere Cosmetics’ Happy Hour Collection. Ahh, so my parents would approve at all - after all, it IS mineral makeup! Haha!

Mineral Makeup Weekend Promos

One of the most indispensable things in my makeup kit, my vanity table, and my mother’s bathroom ( where I’m currently camping out to apply makeup since my room’s not yet set up ) is a makeup primer. Makeup, including mineral makeup, need a smooth base ( the face ) to glide on to have a flawless and beautiful coverage and finish. Primers sort of “fill in” imperfections, making them look not too obvious, as well as make pores look smaller. Best of all, they help makeup stay longer on the skin.

Well, that’s why I can never live without makeup primers.

Mineral Makeup Review : Camellia Rose Skin Smoothing Primer

Lately, I have just noticed that there is a growing number of mineral makeup mavens out there who are more adventurous and started mixing their own formulations, adding some minerals to make their finishing powder or foundation work for them *maybe for oil control*, and some super adventurous ones have ventured into color like blushes and eyeshadows.

…rather, it’s called Cosminology You Rock My Cosmos! Mineral Complexion Compact™ ( what a long term! hahaha! )

I’ve been steering away as much as possible from pressed mineral powders, preferring the loose counterparts because loose minerals are just the purest form of mineral makeup - pressing them would mean binders and binders mean chemicals and so forth. But the thing is, I’ve been bugged endlessly by my friends for nice pressed mineral powders because they just don’t want the spillage in their bags ( loose mineral foundations can be quite messy, I have to admit ), and they want something more “compact” , travel, and purse-friendly.

Mineral Makeup Review : Cosminology Pressed Mineral Powder

I admit - my biggest inspiration when it comes to makeup is my mom - as I was growing up, i would always be in awe when I see her in perfect full coverage makeup. Now, it’s my turn to give her gifts of makeup - of course, I give her mineral makeup all the time because she somehow got tired of wearing heavy-feeling makeup, and I convinced her that mineral makeup feels very very light on the skin. She also taught me that a darker shade of foundation is nicer - so that explains my fondness for getting tans and keeping a variety of shades of mineral foundation ( but really, lately, I’ve been just wanting darker shades haha! )

Here are some sales of mineral makeup companies just in time for Mother’s Day that you might want to get some for your mom!

Mineral Makeup Sale : Simply For Mother’s Day!

I’ve been waiting for this certain loot for a long time already. I don’t know whats up with the local Postal Office! Darn.

Finally, I get my hands on Dreamworld Minerals. Everyone is going gaga over the fantastic full coverage formula, and I said to myself, I’ve to try this , as a fan of full coverage mineral foundation. Makeup artists tell me only traditional liquid foundation can really give full coverage, and I just beg to disagree. I love mineral foundations that offer full coverage because they truly truly work and even give off a more flawless finish that its liquid counterparts - we just add some mist!

Mineral Makeup News : Bare Escentuals’ New Shades for Foundation

It’s been crazy hot here, and I’ve been skipping my eyeshadow routine lately, but I just would never, ever give up my eyelining because I have a waterproof and weather-resistant sealant! ( I love you Weather Everything Liner Sealer! )

I’ve previously experimented with several multi purpose minerals and using them as eyeliners. But really, I’m glad I found these Meow Feliners sitting around my sister’s desk - perhaps I’ve forgotten about them, because oh my goodness, they are just simply stunning! Not to mention, the vivid colors are perfectly opaque, and eyeliner quality that will just make me be more adventurous with the shades that I would line my eyes with.

Here are some swatches!
