Looks like there’s a new mineral makeup brand in the block!

Fresh Minerals, comes with a very “fresh” tagline, “beauty never felt this fresh.” I havent tried the line for myself, but what impressed me at first inspection on their website is the packaging.

The foundations are packaged just like Philosophy’s Supernatural Mineral Powder, the concealer tube with brush looks like a Tarte product, other mineral powders are in very convenient pump brushes, and the color scheme, including the lipstick’s packaging, is very much Shiseido. Mineral eye powders look like Bare Escentuals packaging. I must say, the packaging and presentation is very elegant, but, will it fare well on our skin?

What’s New: Fresh Minerals

With applying mineral makeup, it is very important to have a reliable make up base, or primer, as it will prevent mineral makeup from sitting in pores and enhancing fine lines, like normal makeup application.

I’ve previously tried Bare Escentuals Prime Time, Bare Escentual‘s silicone based primer. It is lightweight, and the texture really resurfaces the skin as it fills in pores, fine lines, and did a great job in helping mineral makeup stay longer on the skin.

Mineral Makeup Upadate : Lumiere and Joppa Minerals’ New Stuff!

Inspired by ballet, Aromaleigh Mineral Makeup comes up with a really romantic, yet colorful eye makeup collection :

This is a gathering of lush shades, not just the expected ballet pink. For me, ballet is dramatic, emotional, and full of tragic beauty. With almost 20 years of ballet study, I watch not only dreaming that I could be on the stage, but knowing the iron strength and control that the most ethereal, graceful dancer must have.

“En Pointe” has a little bit of everything… plush matte shades with graceful iridescent highlights, a brilliant shimmering black and white that can make any color into whatever you imagine, and some lovely frosts with multi-faceted effects. Most of this year’s collections have been straight frosts with vivid sparkling highlights, but this collection is more understated while still being full of mystery and transient beauty.

The photos of these colors barely touch what they truly are like in person…

I don’t know, but everytime I check out Alima‘s new releases for mineral eyeshadows, I can’t help but be appealed on how soft focus their shades are, totally safe, simple, but stunning nonetheless.

Maybe it’s because they’ve taken their inspiration from nature. This time, they expressed their love for rivers with their Rivers Collection.

What’s New : Alima Cosmetics River Mineral Eyeshadows

One day while strolling at the mall, I chanced upon Artdeco, a very under-rated, but very very nice makeup brand. I mentioned way back that they released mineral foundations, that were good enough as deparment store brands ( since most of the brands don’t meet my approval, sigh ). I said hello to the cheerful ladies on the booth, and I got surprised that aside from the mineral foundations they have it pots, they also added something new to their line – mineral foundations in powder-dispensing packaging, and mineral eyeshadows.
