Archive for 'Blush'

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.

Mineral Makeup Review : UGloGirl Minerals

I mentioned in my last article that Nikki, our latest addition to the talented mineral makeup blog writers here, has a penchant for MIY ( make-it-yourself ), and her latest project? Pressing her loose minerals! She’s quite outdone herself for the pictures of her pressed minerals are beautiful!

One thing that turns off some people with trying (or sticking with) mineral makeup is its form. Most are in loose powder form which makes application a bit messy especially for beginners. There is also difficulty in traveling with it or bringing it along for touch ups because it is bulky, requiring more tools and pots inside your makeup bag. Because of this, some mineral makeup companies are now coming up with their own lines of pressed minerals. Continue Reading »

Pure Luxe Sale – 25% Off!

I remember, I was in college when I started wearing makeup ( in highschool, alas, even dyed hair was a no-no and would earn a lower grade in conduct! ). I usually wore foundation, blush, and gloss, and didn’t bother applying eyeshadow. Now that I know the wonders on what eye colors would do, I somehow felt that I should have learned earlier!

Bare Escentuals has two sets for those who want to learn the right way to achieve two beautiful looks.

The first set, Tutorials : Smoky V Eye teaches us how to do the smoky eye makeup. I admit that it’s been over a year and I’m still in the beginner end in smoky eye makeup application!

Bare Escentuals Beauty School

Summer may have bid us such a sweet good-bye here in the Orient and will soon leave the Western countries. But that doesn’t mean it’s time to put away our stash of bronzers. Okay, so maybe appearing all-tanned up would be off-ish at this time of the year. Good thing mineral makeup brand Lumiere has come up with something that goes on like bronzer, with the effect blush. Or is it blush that can actually double as bronzer? Wait, wait. I think I’m getting a little bit confused here. Lol.
