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 companies are also all for Breast Cancer Awareness Month as they come up with cute pink gift sets. Jane Iredale Minerals joins the cause as it comes up with the In The Pink Set.

This, for me, is a great gift set for your beauty-holic family members and friends, as the 24 karat gold dust, paired with the dust brush, is perfect for highlighting, as well as to be applied on the lid area for that added “perk me up” and brightness. Just a sheer application would make the difference! The gold organza bag tops it all as it makes such perfect packaging. It includes a pink pin that would remind you that with your purchase, Jane Iredale donates part of the sale to the organization of their choice. Breast cancer is nothing but light to the hearts of many. May we spread the awareness of prevention of this deadly disease that cost the lives of many.

Mineral makeup brands literally invade anywhere they go – seriously! I just can confidently say that the effects of mineral makeup on anyone can cause everyone to say wow. This time, mineral makeup invades Whole Foods Market, with Mineral Fusion.

After I have watched the video-makeover of Mineral Fusion on the Whole Foods Market website, the brand got me interested. Jen Gaum , Mineral Fusion expert and makeup artist ( I pressume ), did a great job in introducing mineral makeup to the viewers, as well as answering questions about mineral makeup.

Mineral Makeup Invades Whole Foods Market!

Illuminator Satin Sun Finish Powder gives a subtle glow to skins lacking luminosity. This light, fluffy powder can be worn along or mixed with other powders to enhance.
Not a highly glowy finish, just gives a nice sheen.

I’m not a big fan of traditional multipurpose makeup, or makeup that can be used on your eyes, lips, and face. Its consistency doesn’t work well for all three areas. Plus, it can look sticky on the eyes, dry on the lips, and streaky on the cheeks. While multipurpose makeup seems practical, I believe that there’s a better alternative – multipurpose mineral makeup.

Multipurpose mineral makeup takes versatility to a whole new level. It can be used as eyeshadow, blush, lipstick, eyeliner, nail color, body shimmer, and even hair mascara. It’s easy to mix multipurpose mineral makeup into other kinds of makeup because its consistency is loose and powder-like. Best of all, multipurpose mineral makeup doesn’t irritate your skin, because it’s made of minerals.
