Mineral Makeup News : Alison Raffaele Reformulates and Launches New Primers

The Grand Mineral Makeup Day in Manila held during the Bazaarnival in Greenmeadows was a huge success. Girls and boys who were interested in mineral makeup flocked to the airconditioned function room of the bazaar to inquire, have their free makeovers, get their lootbags, and do some mineral makeup shopping. I have never imagined so much people who are interested with mineral makeup!

Let me just say that this was the ultimate mineral makeup wonderland in the country for two days? Never have I seen so much mineral makeup. It was like the absolute heaven for mineral makeup addicts to see a great variety of mineral makeup, that they can see up close in one location! I was lost in the vast sea of color, loose powders, and makeup brushes. Ahh, the weekend that commenced made me depressed as I am now in the real world! It was a dream world!

Grand Mineral Makeup Weekend in Manila!

When I heard about Bare Escentual’s Rare Minerals months ago I was excited that mineral makeup companies are now starting to make anti-aging mineral powders. I wanted to try it out but the price was a bit of a hindrance. Good thing I found a good alternative in MAD’s Exquisite Anti-Aging mineral treatment. The website states:

“Treats These Conditions: Fine lines, wrinkles, firmness, hydration, skin renewal, radiance, calms redness “

Just tell me, how many consecutive times has Bare Escentuals won these prestigious Best of Sephora Awards already?

Best Foundation
Bare Escentuals bareMinerals SPF 15 Foundation

This is my first ever mineral foundation, and my eureka moment came from this, that I said good bye to traditional foundations forever. I could never forget my good ol’ Bare Escentual days when my friend would say, “hey, your skin improved so much! “. Love Bare Escentuals!

For this to be the best foundation among all foundations in Sephora, this is quite something. This is almost saying that mineral foundations rock! Way to go!

Bare Escentuals Bags Best of Sephora Awards, Again!

I believe that Larenim (Mineral spelled backward, clever, huh? ) has got really great products (I’ll have whatever Paul McCartney loves! Lol! ) , and as I am roadtesting them this week with some other brands, but Larenim has definitely no competition during my night time routine - with the Dusk Til Dawn Treatment.

The Dusk Til Dawn Treatment is a mineral treatment made of kaolin clay, zinc oxide, and green tea extract. Kaolin clay is a magnificent oil absorber, zinc oxide soothes inflammed acne skin, and green tea extract helps dry out zits. Continue Reading »
Mineral Makeup Review :Larenim Dusk Til Dawn Treatment

It was like reading the children’s bedtime story *The Three Bears* , “This one’s too heavy, this one’s too light, this one’s too shiny, this one’s too matte” and so on. MineraI cosmetics are very subjective; everybody’s taste is different, and everybody’s skin reacts differently to different formulas. I decided that the only way to get what I wanted was to do it myself. I spent over a year learning, experimenting, trial and error, dozens of failed batches (failure meaning it wasn’t what I was looking for), until my “Eureka!” moment happened.

Another mineral makeup brand that’s been making waves is Valerie Beauty. Valerie Tukey, the beauty behind the brand, is here to share to The Mineral Makeup Blog readers her story, and her products! Continue Reading »
