I’ve been a bit tired from the shimmery mineral blushes lately, and I’ve been on the hunt for nice , matte mineral blushes. This week’s pick : Pure Anada’s Matte Berry Mineral Blush.

The Matte Berry Mineral Blush is described as “a basic cool pink.”. For me, it pretty much looks normal and neutral on the baggie that I have ( I purchased the 12-piece samples from them ), and I was stunned on how pretty it looked on my cheeks. No shimmer, just a touch of color on my cheeks. Plain and simple. Just the way I like it. I think I’d want to wear this blush everyday. The shade is just right for light to medium skin, it’d show up as a lovely pink flush. No red, just something light on the cheeks. Petal-ish.

Mineral Blush of the Week : Pure Anada’s Matte Berry

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

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,

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

A few months ago, fellow Mineral Makeup addict Joyce made mention (http://www.themineralmakeup.com/new-mineral-makeup-brand-blusche-minerals/08/06/2007/)
of an emerging Canadian mineral makeup company: Blusche minerals. It’s the Middle English word of blush, according to their website.

At first I was hesitant on trying out the free samples they were giving away. Perhaps I was too preoccupied with other matters at that moment such that the opportunity had passed me by. Come last November 24 & 25, the Grand Mineral Makeup Weekend was held here in the Philippines, and Blusche was on of the participants at the said event.

Then my opportunity came. I was a bit hesitant again to have a makeover. But I gave in since it was for free and you can never say “No” to a free makeover! Lol. It’s always good to be able to test products in the flesh before committing yourself on a full size version. Blusche’s representative, Belle, did such a pretty good job on me using their matte foundation in Crème brulee. I also ended up getting myself a sample baggie and a full size jar of Phoebe, their light neutral matte mineral veil or finishing powder. Plus, they also had a loot bag with more samples to the attendees.

Meow Cosmetics Winter Holiday Collection

I woke up extra early today because it was my baby sister’s big day - her graduation picture day. Well, ya know I’m not a morning person for sure, but I really did try!

Here’s what I did for my baby sis ( who is not a baby anymore, I guess. ). Only the best for her - mineral makeup ! I don’t want to be hurting her baby skin that I wish was mine!

1. First, I applied moisturizer on her since her skin seemed to be dry on some areas.
2. Second, I applied a mix of Monave Hyeyeon and Caroline Concealer Foundation using a flat top brush to ensure that her foundation would stay put all throughout the day. She told me she was having a speech practice before having her shot taken, and I am not taking any chances.
