Lately, I’ve been looking for matte mineral blushes instead of shimmery mineral blushes, probably because I have too much shimmery minerals already! It’s quite a challenge to find matte mineral blushes, and I think I’ve found a very precious one from Lumiere Cosmetics called Fresh Roses.

Mineral Makeup Review : Lumiere’s Fresh Roses Mineral Blush

Lumiere Cosmetics‘ latest mineral eyeshadow collection called Happy Hour is indeed for the “happy hours!” The colors are just so happy that you’d want to smile for yourself and wear them.

As for being pigmented, I can say that the Happy Hour Collection shades are not so pigmented - they apply in sheer, and this is perfect for those who want a touch of happy color, not wanting her eye makeup to be too vivid or bold. Everything’s shimmery, so this is perfect for nightouts, or if you just want to make your eyes stand out with the highlighting ability of the shimmer.

Mineral Makeup Review : Lumiere Happy Hour Collection

I know, I know, I haven’t been posting! My sincere apologies to my readers of The Mineral Makeup Blog! I owe you lots! I’ve been too engrossed with makeup school, and trying to perfect the art of seamless eye makeup that I hardly sleep anymore. Haha!

Anyway, just a treat to my readers, I’ve made a full mineral makeover of my sister using mineral makeup that I’ve never featured before here ( at least, the items! ). The reviews of some of them will be up within the week.

The subject of my makeover is my ever-up for anything little sister Suzie who’s in college. She’s allergic to alot of things that’s why I only let her use mineral makeup, and nothing else. As she got home from school, I asked her if I could make her over for this entry, and she gladly agreed. I’ve been applying makeup for her ever since makeup touched her skin, and I’d be glad to do her makeup for the rest of my life.

Here’s her before pic,

A Very Full Mineral Makeup Makeover

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!

Lumiere Cosmetics Happy Hour Edition Minerals

Last weekend was indeed scorching hot. My friends and I went to Tagaytay ( some highlands here that would be colder than the city ) and the beach. I was too lazy to apply any eye makeup because of the sweltering heat.

Whenever I buy mineral eyeshadows, I usually get neutral colors. I’m not too confident with eyeshadow application and neutral colors are a lot more foolproof than its bright colored counterparts. My neutral mineral eyeshadows definitely outnumber any other shade of eyeshadow that I have in my makeup stash.

Weeks ago, I read an entry from this blog about storing mineral makeup sample baggies in trading card or business card holders. I bought a business card holder back then, but never got around to actually organizing my samples. So I started taking out my samples, and my sister suggested storing them by color.

Mineral Makeup Look : An EOTD While Organizing Mineral Eyeshadows

Looks like it’s graduation season again ( end of March ), and as The Blushing Vixen featured her gorgeous sister’s FOTD, let me just share my baby sister Sarabeth’s FOTD, whose makeup I did, just a few hours ago.

This is what the makeup set that I have prepared for Sarabeth a night before , since she planned on waking up 5 am in the morning, and her makeup was to be done at 6 o’clock. No time for me to think then!

I wanted a fresh, simple look for the graduating sixth grader so I chose the following minerals and tools to get the job done :

Mineral Makeup FOTD : Sarabeth’s Graduation

I have tried the Lumiere foundations before in the Veena Velvet formula. I liked its coverage being medium to heavy and long-lasting. It just made me breakout from the oat content after I’ve sampled and found my match. I thought that was the end of my love-affair with Lumiere foundations (I still love their blushes and eye shadows though).

Recently I got to try out the sample of the newest formula in Cashmere which came with my pre-buy brushes. This new formula was formulated with no oat content for ladies who did not do well with oats in their foundation. Picking out a shade was easy because they run the same in depth and intensity with the other Lumiere formulas except for Luminesse which runs darker.

Ingredients:
silk powder, serecite (colorless mica), titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, boron nitride, iron oxides

Mineral Makeup Review : Lumiere Cashmere Foundation

It’s been a little over a year since I started swirling, tapping and buffing with mineral makeup. This mineral makeup revolution has been around since the late 70s and I only joined the bandwagon recently. Mineral makeup has changed the way I think, and how I apply my makeup.

To those who have converted to mineral makeup, I’m sure it has changed your life in more ways than one. I decided to write how mineral makeup has changed me (or at least, my makeup regimen) in ten ways, inspired by the entertainment show The Daily Ten.

Because of mineral makeup, I…

1. Never bought traditional foundations again
2. Apply different layers of makeup, without worrying that it would look or feel cakey.
3. Learned to appreciate loose forms of makeup Continue Reading »
