Apologies to my dear readers, for I have been MIA ( missing in action ) for the last few days. I’m moving homes right now, and one downtime that has eaten me alive is…well, INTERNET!

I’m late, I’m late, so I hope I’m catching up! For some news, Lauress, this April 1, has opened their newly renovated website! They have also officially started offering their most awaited Minimalist Mineral Foundation, which is described as,

it’s everything our original formula was and MORE. Minimalist has a matte finish and silky texture, improved coverage without being cakey or heavy. PLUS it is perfect for oily skin without being too drying.

Mineral Makeup Sale : Lauress Cosmetics!

Being the mineral makeup addict that I am, I’ve tried quite a number of mineral makeup brands. The latest that I have tried is Dreamworld Minerals. This company’s theme is mythological and ethereal making their product names interesting. What do I have to say about this company?

First of all, their customer service is amazing! Ellie is probably the most helpful mmu owner out there who tries to help each and every Dreamworld customer get their perfect match. You really can not ask for anything more. Second, their website is very pretty (that’s why it won the “Most Attractive Forum” over at Delphi). Third, I found my Holy Grail finishing powder here.

Mineral Makeup Review : Dreamworld Minerals

For the very first time, I am sharing an FOTD that doesn’t feature yours truly, but my little sister who just graduated from her culinary arts course. The Mineral Makeup Girl once did her little sister’s makeup too! Isn’t that just sweet, big sisters primping and prettifying the li’l ones!

When my sister told me maybe I should do her makeup on graduation day, I was totally clueless. Sure, I did attempt to put makeup on her once, like a few years ago, and it didn’t turn out so well. Much that she almost didn’t want me to touch her face ever again! Lol. I guess she changed her mind seeing how often I wear mineral makeup these days.

I have my own ideas. But in playing makeup artist , I made it a point to ask her what look she was going for and what colors she had in mind. Since the event was set a little after lunch, she didn’t want it to be too dark, or smokey or over-the-top. She was aiming for something in neutrals/coppers that would complement her floral kimono dress and rich medium skin tone. I let her pick the colors from my makeup box, mostly in neutrals, golds and coppers. Two nights before, we sort of “practiced” the look so as not to take too much time when I am to actually do her makeup.

Presenting my sister:

And this was taken after, not before the ceremony since we were running late! Here’s her EOTD:

Mineral Makeup Look : Graduation Day FOTD

Last time, it was my friend Aileen who roadtested Lauress and wrote a review about it. Well, it’s about time that I did! I just got these in the mail yesterday.

I got shades of Lauress’ Elemental Mineral Foundation in Soft Gold, Soft Yellow, Pure Gold, and Pure Yellow. Sounds like a battle of how much yellow I can tolerate on my skin ( or how yellow my skin really is ).

But really, what I’m so excited about is that I get to roadtest Lauress’ latest, unreleased ( yet ) Minimalist Mineral Foundation!

My Lauress Minerals Loot

Last weekend was pure bliss to me as I traveled to a place far, far away from the city, and just relaxed, and had an annual reunion with the beach. Of course, everyone knows I just can’t live without applying makeup, specially when my friends and I love taking photos to chronicle our vacations, one just has to look good no matter what! Thing is, makeup should be really unnoticeable, and natural to pull off a relaxed, beautiful vacation photo!

As I prepared for my “travel makeup kit”, I wanted to save as much space as possible because I had alot of skin care, makeup brushes ( which I totally forgot, good thing my bestbud had extras ), and more clothes and a camera gear. ( My back almost broke because I also carried a sturdy and heavy tripod with me! hahaha! ). So there, I used a multi-deck jar and just put about 1/4 teaspoons of each variant of minerals that I would need.

I was able to pack the following : Continue Reading »
Mineral Makeup On The Beach!

Okay, my loot from Phoebe finally arrived awhile ago, and I was very very happy with my package – Silk Naturals Perfect Harmony Foundation. I know our girls Val, and Nikki blogged about their experience about it, and here’s mine!

First, I was impressed with the information sheet that Silk Naturals provided. Aside from the product descriptions, and ingredient breakdown on each products, they also have explanation for every ingredient, on what it does. Great, great write-up.
