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.

Mineral Makeup News : Lauress’ Up and Coming Ethereal Mineral Foundation!

…rather, it’s called Cosminology You Rock My Cosmos! Mineral Complexion Compactâ„¢ ( what a long term! hahaha! )

I’ve been steering away as much as possible from pressed mineral powders, preferring the loose counterparts because loose minerals are just the purest form of mineral makeup – pressing them would mean binders and binders mean chemicals and so forth. But the thing is, I’ve been bugged endlessly by my friends for nice pressed mineral powders because they just don’t want the spillage in their bags ( loose mineral foundations can be quite messy, I have to admit ), and they want something more “compact” , travel, and purse-friendly.

Mineral Makeup Review : Cosminology Pressed Mineral Powder

I’ve been waiting for this certain loot for a long time already. I don’t know whats up with the local Postal Office! Darn.

Finally, I get my hands on Dreamworld Minerals. Everyone is going gaga over the fantastic full coverage formula, and I said to myself, I’ve to try this , as a fan of full coverage mineral foundation. Makeup artists tell me only traditional liquid foundation can really give full coverage, and I just beg to disagree. I love mineral foundations that offer full coverage because they truly truly work and even give off a more flawless finish that its liquid counterparts – we just add some mist!

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.
