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,

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!

What’s New : Aromaleigh Color Infusion Botanical Lipsticks

Just recently, a new mineral makeup line was born - and it is from a joint collaboration of master stylist Henri Calayag, and entrepreneur extraordinare Ruby Gan, and the line’s called Mineral Wonders.

I was given the privilege of trying Mineral Wonders to give my honest opinions about it, and here’s what I am about to do!

The Mineral Wonders line, as of today, consists of four mineral powders - Light Beige Foundation, Tulle Mineral Veil, Bunny Hop Cheek Pincher, and Mud Contour/Bronzer, as well as the Blood lip gloss, and a synthetic kabuki brush. They’re being sold in Myth (Greenbelt 5 ) and in Henri’s salon - Henri Calayag Salon, found on the Ground Floor of Greenbelt’s The Residences. ( Philippines. )

I was very giddy to try this first mineral makeup that is manufactured and sold commercially in the Philippines, because they all looked promising. And now, for the lowdown :

Mineral Makeup Review : Henri Calayag’s Mineral Wonders

I don’t own that many lippies but reading all those reports about lead in your lipstick (either they’re true or not) made me all the more wary about buying traditional ones. Luckily for us mineral makeup addicts, companies have made their own lipsticks and glosses using more natural ingredients.

I have only tried a few of them but enough for me to have my favorites.

Silk Naturals

This new company has one of the most moisturizing lippies around. I have them in Indulge lipstick and Birthday Suit lip gloss. Both these shades are neutral giving the perfect YLBB shade to anybody’s lips at the same time keeping them moist. It lasts a fairly long time as long as you don’t lick them off and gives just enough shine to your lips. Both formulas have creamy consistencies in tubes with the glosses applying more sheerly than the lipsticks. And for the price, you can stock up on all the colors you want (like what other mmu lovers did). There are a good variety of neutral shades to choose from plus a few dupes of popular brands’ shades.

Mineral Makeup Review : Mineral Lipwear

One of my favorite mineral makeup brands, Aromaleigh, also has their holiday gift sets ready, and let me just say that I love the concept! There are two gift sets, called Naughty, or Nice. Aromaleigh gets to be Santa, but you yourself can pick if you have been naughty, or nice, or give your friends the treat that they deserve jokingly! Haha!

If you’ve been playful or naughty, you don’t have to be punished this Christmas - maybe you’re forgiven for this special season! ( But of course, you have to mend your ways! hahaha! ) Continue Reading »
Aromaleigh Holiday Mineral Gift Sets

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.
