Jane Iredale Pure Pressed Base

Suzanne — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 15:17:23 +0000

Pure Pressed Base is an upscale foundation. It comes in a elegant gold refillable compact with a magnetic closure and has ingredients that are beneficial to the skin, which is why Jane Iredale is called the skin care makeup. It has an SPF of 20. It comes with a sponge, or it can be applied with a brush. I personally prefer to apply pressed mineral makeup with a brush to apply several light layers.

Jane Iredale Liquid Minerals Foundation is called a skin care makeup and is considered to be an anti-aging makeup because it is encapsulated with skin care ingredients that can replenish the cellular layers of the epidermis. The light-diffusing, soft-focus minerals makes skin look more youthful, diminishes the appearance of lines and wrinkles, minimizes pores, evens out skin tone and adheres so well there is minimal transference. It is a past winner of Winner of Dayspa’s Editor’s Choice Award.

Bare Escentuals Beautiful in Pearls TSV Kit Still Available

Suzanne — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 04:59:19 +0000

If you missed out on the Bare Escentuals Beautiful in Pearls TSV Kit on 11/7/09, it is still available on QVC. There was also a “TSV” Extra Honora Pearls necklace that was inspired by the colors in the makeup in the kit, which included crushed Honora pearl powder – said to create a pearlescent luminescence when applied.

I haven’t received mine yet, but I’m looking forward to getting it – the colors look absoutely beautiful and the kit is such a great value!

Bare Minerals Pure Luxuries Kit

Suzanne — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 01:52:27 +0000

Wow – I love all of these Bare Mineral Holiday kits that are starting to surface. Check out this sephora Exclusive – Bare Escentuals bareMinerals Pure Luxuries Collection ($175 Value) bareMinerals Pure Luxuries Collection.

This is a great kit for those of us who prefer brighter jewelt tones to earth tones. It would make an awesome kit to buy for yourself (if not a life time supply, a multi-year supply) and would be the ultimate gift for mineral makeup lovers – especially those who are newer to minerals & haven’t built up the gynormus collection that most of us have – or maybe someone who loves minerals and makeup but is on a limited budget – what an indulgent treat for them!

The kit contains:
Tropics Eyecolor
Charleston Eyecolor
Panther Eyecolor
Hugs Eyecolor
Emotion Eyecolor
No Eye-Deer Eyecolor
The 70s Eyecolor
Nice Pear Eyecolor
Bikini Eyecolor
Turquoise Sea Liner Shadow
Naughty, Naughty Blush
Hot Shot Blush
Pure Radiance All-Over Face Color
Pure Charm Blush
Blushing Beauty All-Over Face Color
Faux Lizard Train Case – looks like the Glamourista case to me

Night Owl, a steel amethyst shade
Vanity, a bronzed plum shade
Hummingbird, a bashful pink shade

Mineral Makeup Saver

Suzanne — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 19:57:58 +0000

Mineral Makeup Lovers Rejoice!! A fellow Mineral Makeup Lover has created a solution to the #1 complaint about minerals! The complaint? It’s TOO MESSY (especially when traveling). The solution? The Mineral Saver, which is an insert for your jars. It is made of foam with a plastic shield on the bottom.

Recently I was contacted by Christine Richardson about her new invention. Christine is a retired US Army Lieutenant Colonel. While she was active duty she loved her minerals but hated traveling with them. She came up with a solution and is now offering it for all mineral lovers to enjoy.

Christine asked if she could send a sample of her product for me to review. When the package arrived I opened it and it contained a jar of Bare Minerals Foundation. I was kinda surprised… But when I opened the jar, there was a Mineral Saver inside and much to my amazement, there was not one speck of foundation above the sifter! Can you imagine if you sent a jar without the saver how much foundation would be above the sifter? So I decided to have a little fun. I closed the jar and shook it over and over, still no foundation above the sifter. I played toss with it with my husband – nope no spills. I was blown away. I need these!

I also realized that in addition to being incredible when you travel, these will also allow minerals to be carried in your purse to be used for touch ups without all of the fancy containers or brushes. Just pop in a mineral saver and you are good to go.

These are available in 7 different sizes for all different brands. I was also very impressed by the pricing – they are sold by a 4-pack and the price varies based on the size, but the biggest, most expensive ones are less than $2 each. These will save much more makeup than that.

If you’d like to learn more, check them out at The Original Mineral Saver. Leave me a comment below to let me know how you like them!
