Archive for 'Pure Anada'

Ive mentioned earlier that Pure Anada is simply heaven-sent because this mineral foundation not only is very much full in coverage, it also just seems to make pores look nonexistent! It’s so flawless that it was a real heartbreak for me when I couldn’t get my exact match with it.

A few days ago, I paid a visit to my friend and co-mineral makeup addict Nikki to try a pot of foundation that seemed too light for her, whose shade was Medium Golden. Upon hearing that name, it seemed like the perfect shade for me since well, my shade was Light to Medium, but I’ve taken a liking for darker shades since I wanted to retain my nonexistent tan, and my shoulders are darker than my face anyway ( that makes me get away with darker or lighter shades ). So, I went ahead and bought her pot of Medium Golden to try out.

Mineral Makeup Review : Finding a Pure Anada Shade Match

I’ve been a bit tired from the shimmery mineral blushes lately, and I’ve been on the hunt for nice , matte mineral blushes. This week’s pick : Pure Anada’s Matte Berry Mineral Blush.

The Matte Berry Mineral Blush is described as “a basic cool pink.”. For me, it pretty much looks normal and neutral on the baggie that I have ( I purchased the 12-piece samples from them ), and I was stunned on how pretty it looked on my cheeks. No shimmer, just a touch of color on my cheeks. Plain and simple. Just the way I like it. I think I’d want to wear this blush everyday. The shade is just right for light to medium skin, it’d show up as a lovely pink flush. No red, just something light on the cheeks. Petal-ish.

Mineral Blush of the Week : Pure Anada’s Matte Berry

I was so so happy yesterday as I came home with two packages. One from Purely Cosmetics ( which I finally nailed the shade, yay! review’s for tomorrow!) and one is the package from Pure Anada. My co-mineral makeup lover pal Aileen sent me samples of mineral foundations in Mountain View and Ivory Chinook ( which is good for fairly light warm skin tones ) , and I was not able to find my shade in them, but was able to find a very good ( no not just very good, but extraordinarily good! ) mineral foundation in Pure Anada! So imagine my glee when the samples I ordered finally landed.

Amongst the 12 samples worth $9 (with free shipping, isn’t that great? ), I immediately grabbed the three foundation shades: Golden Harvest, Soft Wheat, and Mountain Sunset. ( on the first photo, from L-R, and Mountain Sunset is at the bottom ) Here are swatches on my tissue paper :

Initial Review of Pure Anada Mineral Foundation

I’ve been told by a good friend that Pure Anada Mineral Foundation is Holy Grail ( HG ) material. After endless google searches, with my poor eyesight reading it as “Ananda” instead of “Anada,” I am unable to find it until she gave me the link to the store, which is sold at The Pure Boutique.
