Okay, I really do think that before the year ends, there will be at least twenty brands that will jump in the mineral makeup bandwagon. Mineral makeup is the “it” makeup and is going to an upward trend.

Check out Maybelline Mineral Power.

L’Oréal is adding a mineral line to the Maybelline New York brand. Mineral Power will launch in January 2008, and although the launch comes years after the first mineral makeup line appeared on shelves, company executives are confident that the line will do well.

The line will include a foundation, pressed powder, concealer, loose powder and blush that incorporate triple refined micro minerals and are talc-, fragrance- and oil-free.

Mineral Makeup News : Mary Kay Joins In!

This picture was taken from e.l.f. e-newsletter.

e.l.f.’s mineral makeup line may not cost $1, but their products are still cheaper than other brands. Individual pots go from $5 to $8, brush set costs $10, and kits are about $15-20.

e.l.f. offers four shades of foundation, four shades of concealer, five shades of blush, one shade of illuminating powder, and one shade of bronzer. I’m surprised that e.l.f. immediately branched out to several mineral makeup products, since most mainstream makeup brands start with only foundation. Continue Reading »

It is said to have an applicator with the product already, and would be in limited edition. Continue Reading »
MAC Cosmetics to Release Mineral Makeup in 2008

The Mineral Makeup Blog has signed up for Blog Action Day, and erm..we’re late by a few hours! ( sorry! ), but then, here’s a timely entry about saving the environment.

Mineral makeup itself helps the environment already. It does not use chemicals, and how are chemicals made? Aside from the end products, there are also by-products of these chemicals that harm our environment. Just by using mineral makeup, you prevent the destruction of the environment.

Mineralogie, a mineral makeup brand that I will be trying out soon, has come up with their eco-friendly solutions to be able to help preserve our environment.
