One of the mineral makeup brands that interests me is Aromaleigh. It’s just too bad they don’t ship here to the Philippines. Nevertheless, I’ve been fortunate enough to get some samples care of the Mineral Makeup Girl and I got more from a friend of Nikki’s, another Mineral Makeup addict.

This has been sitting in my stash for a couple of months:

Nice, glittery stuff. When I received them, I was absolutely clueless on what to use them for. Hence, I waited for the day I can actually put them to good use. Until last night, out of sheer boredom, I decided to challenge myself yet again. Continue Reading »
Mineral Makeup Review : Putting Aromaleigh Rocks to the Test

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 »

Alima Precious Metals Holiday Gift Set Collection

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 Promo : Lumiere Cosmetics Loves The Holidays!

For those ladies out there who love mineral foundations but find themselves always in-between shades or having to mix 2 or 3 colors to get an exact match, Perfect Harmony foundation was made for you. This is from the mineral makeup company Silk Naturals. What’s interesting is that they give you a white base foundation, an ebony shade, a mixing jar and a scoop with instructions on how to mix your perfect shade. From the basics you get to mix your own shade even if the season changes: add more ebony if you get tan in the summer or add more white base if you’re paler in the winter. And it all feels oh-so-light on the face. No itch (unlike mineral makeup with bismuth) and stays on the whole day with minimal oily breakthroughs especially when topped with their Perfecting Powder.
