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

For the very first time, I am sharing an FOTD that doesn’t feature yours truly, but my little sister who just graduated from her culinary arts course. The Mineral Makeup Girl once did her little sister’s makeup too! Isn’t that just sweet, big sisters primping and prettifying the li’l ones!

When my sister told me maybe I should do her makeup on graduation day, I was totally clueless. Sure, I did attempt to put makeup on her once, like a few years ago, and it didn’t turn out so well. Much that she almost didn’t want me to touch her face ever again! Lol. I guess she changed her mind seeing how often I wear mineral makeup these days.

I have my own ideas. But in playing makeup artist , I made it a point to ask her what look she was going for and what colors she had in mind. Since the event was set a little after lunch, she didn’t want it to be too dark, or smokey or over-the-top. She was aiming for something in neutrals/coppers that would complement her floral kimono dress and rich medium skin tone. I let her pick the colors from my makeup box, mostly in neutrals, golds and coppers. Two nights before, we sort of “practiced” the look so as not to take too much time when I am to actually do her makeup.

Presenting my sister:

And this was taken after, not before the ceremony since we were running late! Here’s her EOTD:

Mineral Makeup Look : Graduation Day FOTD

Last weekend was pure bliss to me as I traveled to a place far, far away from the city, and just relaxed, and had an annual reunion with the beach. Of course, everyone knows I just can’t live without applying makeup, specially when my friends and I love taking photos to chronicle our vacations, one just has to look good no matter what! Thing is, makeup should be really unnoticeable, and natural to pull off a relaxed, beautiful vacation photo!

As I prepared for my “travel makeup kit”, I wanted to save as much space as possible because I had alot of skin care, makeup brushes ( which I totally forgot, good thing my bestbud had extras ), and more clothes and a camera gear. ( My back almost broke because I also carried a sturdy and heavy tripod with me! hahaha! ). So there, I used a multi-deck jar and just put about 1/4 teaspoons of each variant of minerals that I would need.

I was able to pack the following : Continue Reading »
Mineral Makeup On The Beach!

Okay, my loot from Phoebe finally arrived awhile ago, and I was very very happy with my package - Silk Naturals Perfect Harmony Foundation. I know our girls Val, and Nikki blogged about their experience about it, and here’s mine!

First, I was impressed with the information sheet that Silk Naturals provided. Aside from the product descriptions, and ingredient breakdown on each products, they also have explanation for every ingredient, on what it does. Great, great write-up.

Playing With Silk Naturals Perfect Harmony Foundation

Thanks to my equally addicted with mineral makeup friend Phoebe, I shall be able to roadtest this myself! And you know that I am dead curious to try all mineral makeup foundations possible. Foundations just are my thing - the fuller the coverage, the better!

What’s on your lootbag my ladies?

I don’t own that many lippies but reading all those reports about lead in your lipstick (either they’re true or not) made me all the more wary about buying traditional ones. Luckily for us mineral makeup addicts, companies have made their own lipsticks and glosses using more natural ingredients.

I have only tried a few of them but enough for me to have my favorites.

Silk Naturals

This new company has one of the most moisturizing lippies around. I have them in Indulge lipstick and Birthday Suit lip gloss. Both these shades are neutral giving the perfect YLBB shade to anybody’s lips at the same time keeping them moist. It lasts a fairly long time as long as you don’t lick them off and gives just enough shine to your lips. Both formulas have creamy consistencies in tubes with the glosses applying more sheerly than the lipsticks. And for the price, you can stock up on all the colors you want (like what other mmu lovers did). There are a good variety of neutral shades to choose from plus a few dupes of popular brands’ shades.

Mineral Makeup Review : Mineral Lipwear

There are days that a mineral makeup addict can get rather tired of looking made up. So why not go for natural, no-makeup look? Yes, that is possible with MMU! And what better way to achieve this look than with Silk Naturals, a budding MMU company whose not-so-secret ingredient is real silk powder.

Upon browsing their online catalog, one can avail of most of their products in affordable sample sizes. With their free shipping a few months ago, I knew it is the perfect chance to try out what they have to offer. And being the addict that I am:

I got a little bit of this and that. Massive, isn’t it?

Looking Natural with Silk Naturals

For those ladies out there who love mineral foundations but find themselves always in-between shades or having to mix 2 or 3 colors to get an exact match, Perfect Harmony foundation was made for you. This is from the mineral makeup company Silk Naturals. What’s interesting is that they give you a white base foundation, an ebony shade, a mixing jar and a scoop with instructions on how to mix your perfect shade. From the basics you get to mix your own shade even if the season changes: add more ebony if you get tan in the summer or add more white base if you’re paler in the winter. And it all feels oh-so-light on the face. No itch (unlike mineral makeup with bismuth) and stays on the whole day with minimal oily breakthroughs especially when topped with their Perfecting Powder.
