…and I’m glad it was conceived in the comments section of The Mineral Makeup Blog! Haha!

Robyn has thoughtfully come up with Econo-packs, ziploc sample versions of Purely Cosmetics mineral foundations. .4g each ziploc , 3 pieces for $5.00. With that, one can have the chance to get his/her shade right while also roadtesting the quality of Purely Cosmetics Mineral Foundations! Yipee!

Mineral Makeup News : Purely Cosmetics Introduces Econo-Packs

Yesterday, I was able to do makeup for my sister’s photoshoot, and it was just the perfect opportunity to roadtest the liquid mineral foundation that I’ve been hoping to work nicely - Skin Alison Raffaele’s Liquid Foundation. I’ve been wanting to collect good mineral makeup with the hope of one day, I will be able to have a traincase full of just mineral makeup for me to take on the road. It’s quite a challenge, especially here in my country where everything is humid and melts pretty easily.

Results? Here they are.

Mineral Makeup Look : Skin Alison Raffaele Liquid Foundation

From the moment I received the Purely Cosmetics Skin Smoothing Mineral Foundation in Maria, a deadringer shade for medium and warm skin, I’ve been wearing it for two days straight to roadtest. In this blog, you might notice that I’ve been reviewing foundations more than any mineral product ( well, I have a few blushes and eye products set to be reviewed next week ! ) because I believe that mineral makeup is amazingly life-saving in this department- the face. Even traditional makeup could not give this much flawless finish to the face like mineral makeup does, with added benefits, and being non-irritating as well!

Mineral Makeup Review : Purely Cosmetics Skin Smoothing Mineral Foundation

I was so so happy yesterday as I came home with two packages. One from Purely Cosmetics ( which I finally nailed the shade, yay! review’s for tomorrow!) and one is the package from Pure Anada. My co-mineral makeup lover pal Aileen sent me samples of mineral foundations in Mountain View and Ivory Chinook ( which is good for fairly light warm skin tones ) , and I was not able to find my shade in them, but was able to find a very good ( no not just very good, but extraordinarily good! ) mineral foundation in Pure Anada! So imagine my glee when the samples I ordered finally landed.

Amongst the 12 samples worth $9 (with free shipping, isn’t that great? ), I immediately grabbed the three foundation shades: Golden Harvest, Soft Wheat, and Mountain Sunset. ( on the first photo, from L-R, and Mountain Sunset is at the bottom ) Here are swatches on my tissue paper :

Initial Review of Pure Anada Mineral Foundation

I’ve been told by a good friend that Pure Anada Mineral Foundation is Holy Grail ( HG ) material. After endless google searches, with my poor eyesight reading it as “Ananda” instead of “Anada,” I am unable to find it until she gave me the link to the store, which is sold at The Pure Boutique.

Mineral Makeup Lemming : Pure Anada Mineral Foundation

With the good news of Joppa Minerals` new Full and Soft Coverage Foundation, they are giving away free shipping for local and international orders! Whoopee! It’s the perfect time to get full sizes if you have tried them already, and samples, if you want to try them first!

I’m getting myself some foundation! How bout you?

Drugstore brands are easiest to reach because of accessibility, a little bit affordable, and sometimes, gives surprisingly good results. Of course, with the popularity of mineral makeup right now, even drugstore brands have their version as well. One of them, being Neutrogena.

Neutrogena earns my respect in the skin care department as I grew up using the brand. Until now, it has been one of the better affordable skin care brands out there. With mineral makeup? Let’s see!

Mineral Makeup Review : Neutrogena Mineral Sheers Foundation

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,

A Very Full Mineral Makeup Makeover

With so much great reviews and recommendations from friends, I’ve decided to try out Dreamworld Minerals, as I’ve been told that they offer really good coverage, and flawless finished looks. The problem was as I started shopping, I just could not quite pick my shade because I was confused with the shades, the undertones, and the names as well. With the help of a friend, I was able to narrow down my choices to Themis and Quan Yin ( and one which never reached me, my sister quickly grabbed it ), all in its heaviest coverage formula, Luna.
