Filed under Mineral Makeup
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!

Seriesse Mineral Makeup
Seriesse Mineral Makeup is made by the new direct sales company from the founders of Serious Skin Care, Seriesse International. Jennifer Flavin Stallone and her husband Sylvester Stallone stated the company offering “new and improved” versions of the most popular Serious Skin Care products.
I am a big fan of their mineral makeup – it is a great bismuth-free product, it is a wonderful value for the money and the container is the absolute best. The Seriesse version is even better – it is …

Pür Minerals now sold on HSN
Pür Minerals is now being sold on HSN – I am a big fan of their pressed mineral foundation and was happy to see it is being introduced on HSN.
Pur Minerals was sold on ShopNBC in the past and you can also purchase it direct from Pur Minerals as well as Ulta. (Interestingly, Sheer Cover recently moved from HSN to ShopNBC.)
Some of the HSN offerings are listed below – HSN currently has 21 Pur Minerals items offered.
If you have tried mineral makeup in the past and been unhappy with the coverage, I would recommend giving Pur Minerals a try. Their pressed minerals give much better coverage than loose mineral foundations – it is a full coverage foundation. Whe I first tried it I was using way too much and it looked cakey – it just takes a little to get a full coverage look.

Sheer Cover Mineral Makeup Now Sold on ShopNBC
Sheer Cover Mineral Makeup is now being sold on ShopNBC. The line debuted there recently and they currently have a very nice selection of products available.
Sheer Cover was originally sold on HSN, but they have been gone from there for several years. I assume Sheer Cover is replacing PurMinerals, which was sold on ShopNBC in the past.
Here is a coupon for ShopNBC new customers, if you have been wanting to try Sheer Cover.

Serious Skin Care ProMinerals ProNano Brightening Powder
Has Serious Skin Care outdone Bare Escentuals by making a “new and improved” Mineral Veil? Or is ir an alternative to Rare Minerals? Or is it a makeup primer? Or all of the above?
ProNano Brightening Powder debuted a few months ago. Since then it has received RAVE reviews by users – it is a customer pick on HSN. The instructions say to apply it before makeup – it is intended as a primer to minimize pores, reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles, brighten the skin and keep it hydrated while absorbing oil. This is very appealing to me because regular makeup primers cause me to breakout, but because this one is a mineral based powder, I should be OK.
Because it contains cornstarch (a main ingredient in Bare Mineral’s Mineral Veil), people are also using it over their foundation as a setting powder and they seem to be happy with those results as well.
It also contains Emblica Fruit Extract: Natural (a fruit extract that has anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, protects skin cells for anti-aging benefits, natural skin brightener) as a main ingredient – this is also a main ingredient in Rare Minerals and Strivectin.
Here is what HSN says about the product:
Serious Skin Care ProMinerals ProNano Brightening Powder is a state-of-the-art concept in skin care that visibly reduces the look of lines and wrinkles, instantly refines the look of pores, noticeably brightens skin and helps uneven skin tone. You receive .50 oz. of this innovative and powerful loose-powder beauty treatment.Serious Skin Care ProMinerals ProNano Brightening Powder Features: Nanofied, time-released moisturizers and skin-plumping hydrators along with dazzling skin brighteners. Apply directly to the skin with the dusting of a brush. Activated by your skin’s own moisture. Ideal for all skin types. Made in USA.
I’m not sure I would have paid much attention to this product if it weren’t for all of the rave reviews (they are here if you want to read them - Serious Skin Care ProMinerals ProNano Brightening Powder) – but I am very intrigued and want to give it a try! I am out of Rare Minerals – which I love, but have a tough time coughing up $60 for it!, so I will try this instead. I am a big fan of Serious Skin Care ProMineral Foundation and have been wanting to get a kit for awhile – I found and ordered the kit pictured below, the powder is available as a separate item, I love the value of the Serious Skin Care kits! I will try it for a while and post a review.
Have you tried ProNano Brightening Powder? If so, please share your review either here in the comments, or here Mineral Makeup Reviews.

Mineral Makeup vs. Mineral Based Makeup
August 6, 2008 by Suzanne
Filed under Featured, Most Recent
Comments Off
Katrina, an Asthetician from Washington made an interesting point in her recent review – Mary Kay Mineral Foundation is Glorified Loose Powder – that I wanted to highlight and discuss.
Katrina wrote “What makes a mineral makeup, MINERAL MAKEUP? The two top ingredients should be Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide!! Where are they in their list of ingredients!!! They are the basis of a great mineral foundation. They are both awesome UVA & UVB natural filters. Zinc oxide is also a wound healer that is why it is fantastic in treating acne.”
My own opinion regarding the new (what I have been calling second generation) Mineral Makeups from Bargain Mineral Makeup: “However, drugstore and discount minerals aren’t “pure” mineral makeups – which is one of the reasons many women have switched to minerals. If you are OK with that, there is a chance that you can find a cheap mineral makeup than you can live with.” and What is Mineral Makeup?: “What is mineral makeup? Mineral makeup is made from pure crushed minerals. The “true” mineral makeups only have 4 or 5 ingredients. (The 2nd generation minerals from manufacturers such as Mary Kay, Neutrogena and Loreal have a lot more ingredients, which lead some to declare that it isn’t “true mineral makeup”, but rather mineral based makeup.)”
Everyone can make their own decision regarding which brand is best for them. But please be aware that the foundations that are not “pure” minerals will not provide you with the Benefits of Mineral Makeup and it may not be the Best Makeup for Acne.

Bismuth Free Mineral Makeup
July 8, 2008 by Suzanne
Filed under Mineral Makeup Reviews
Because of the problems caused by Bismuth in Mineral Makeup, many users are opting for Bismuth Free Mineral Makeup. The good news is that there are many great brands that do not include Bismuth Oxychloride (which can cause itching, irritation and the “glow” that some people love and some people hate).
The brands of Bismuth Free Mineral Makeup are:
Affordable Mineral Makeup
GloMinerals Liquid Mineral Foundation
Illuminare Liquid Mineral Foundations
Jane Iredale Mineral Makeup
Laura Geller Makeup
Mary Kay Mineral Makeup
Serious Skin Care Mineral Makeup
Simply Karen Mineral Makeup
If you are looking for a traditional loose powder mineral foundation, try one of these:
Affordable Mineral Makeup
Jane Iredale Mineral Makeup
Serious Skin Care Mineral Makeup
Simply Karen Mineral Makeup
If you are looking for the purest, “green-est”, most eco-friendly foundation, go for Affordable Mineral Makeup™ – it only has 4 ingredients – Titanium Dioxide, Mica, Iron Oxides, Zinc Oxide – and is a small vegan, earth friendly company with great customer service.

Colorscience Sunforgettable Mineral Suncreen Powders
June 21, 2008 by Suzanne
Filed under Mineral Makeup Reviews

(Yes, I know it is Colorescience – but most people forget to add the “e”!)
Colorscience has a great looking line of Mineral Sunscreen Products that include not only products for the face, but also for the body.
With so many of us looking for more ways to incorporate more natural and less chemical products into our daily lives, the timing couldn’t be better!
The line is called Sunforgettable and includes 4 different applicators (all have the same product).
The Sunforgettable products contains an SPF of 30 and the ingredients are: Active Ingredients: Titanium Dioxide 12%, Zinc Oxide 12% Inactive Ingredients: Bismuth Oxychloride, Calcium Silicate, Corallina Officianalis, Dimethicone, Dimethicone/ Vinyldimethicone Crosspolymer, Iron Oxide, Manganese Violet, Mica, Titanium Dioxide.
The products are effective immediately upon application – so you don’t have to wait like you do with many creams. They also claim to be “very water resistant”. I love the thought of a powder because I have very sensitive eyes & most sunscreens irritate my eyes. It is also a Godsend for people with acne & sensitive skin who have found that sunscreen aggravates their skin issues.
This nearly invisible light weight mineral powder uses micronized minerals to offer the first SPF 30, all-clear, mineral powder with broad spectrum (UVA and UVB and Infrared) sun protection. This breakthrough formula provides physical sun protection with Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide and will not absorb into your skin. It is safe for all ages, can be used by men as well, is odor free and won’t rub off on your clothes.
All 4 application methods are available in “Clear”, “Almost Clear” and “Perfectly Clear” and each color also comes in a “Sparkle” version. The 4 application methods are a powder brush, a roller ball, a shaker and a really cool looking orb. Here they are:
Colorescience Sunforgettable SPF 30 Brush – This nearly invisible light weight mineral powder comes in an easy-to-use retractable brush. The convenient, brush-on applicator makes all-over application easy and quick.
Colorescience Sunforgettable SPF 30 Rock and Roller Ball – The convenient rock and roller ball design makes all-over application easy and quick.
Colorescience Sunforgettable SPF 30 Shaker Jar – Comes in an easy-to-use shaker jar.
Colorescience Sunforgettable Orb SPF 30 – Puff on the protection with this ‘powder-ful’ broad spectrum formula.
Directions For Use:
Apply generously and uniformly before sun exposure, repeat application after perspiring, immersion in water or toweling.

Comments Off
QVC has announced that there will be a Bare Escentuals TSV on 4/25/2008 – no word yet on what it will be – but for the last two years the April TSV has been a “Faux Tan” kit, with the Faux Tanning Product (which is very highly rated by users) and the Faux Tan All Over Face Color (which I love!).
(When ordering from QVC, make sure you are going through Mr. Rebates to receive a 3% rebate!)
I assume the TSV will be along the lines of this kit which is already available:

The Sun Worshipper is a five piece sunless beauty collection includes fool-proof, faux-tan products for face and body that will finally convince you just how much better faux tanning is than the real thing.
Learn how to look intensely hot without the burning heat, and be a bronzed sun goddess with skin worthy of worship itself.
Includes:
Bare Esentual’s Faux Tan (4.5 oz) for body comes with a pump for fast and easy, all-over application. Without facing a single ray of sunshine, 100% pure bareMinerals Faux Tan All-Over Face Color (.03 oz), bareMinerals Nude Beach Glimmer (.02 oz), and Wearable Bronze Lip Gloss (.2 oz) will make you look as if you’ve just arrived from an exotic hotspot in the tropics.
