Spring Bash! Mineral Secrets Makeup Review and Giveaway! (3 Winners)
Monday, March 30, 2009 Posted by Jolly Mom
If I could go without makeup, I honestly would.-especially in the Spring and Summer. Too bad I wasn't born with good skin though! Here in Georgia, the only difference between Spring and Summer is roasted and broiled. Seriously, you have to keep your makeup light unless you want it to literally melt off! That's why mineral makeup is so awesome during the warmer months. Mineral makeup is really light and gives you a totally natural finish without the caked on makeup look and feel! When Mineral Secrets approached me about reviewing their makeup, of course I said yes!About Mineral Secrets:
Mineral Secrets' mineral makeup is a light, non-shiny cosmetic. Originally designed for people with highly sensitive skin types, Mineral Secrets makeup does not irritate skin conditions like rosacea, acne or post laser skin. Mineral Secrets' botanical and aromatherapy enriched mineral bases not only conceal redness, uneven skin tone and blemishes all day long, but will actually improve your skin's overall look and feel with the first application!
I received the Multi-task Mineral Starter Kit and the 6 Piece Starter Brush Set to try out. The makeup brush set comes with a powder brush, eye shadow brush, an angled blush brush, eye smudge brush, sponge brush, and an eye liner brush. All of the brushes besides the sponge brush and eye liner brush are made of either pony or goat hair. They come in an awesome storage case small enough to fit in your purse or diaper bag. The brushes are great quality, which is really important since a flawless finish hinges on good brushes. So far, the brushes have not shed, which is more than I can say for the brushes I bought about a year ago.
The Multi-task Mineral Starter Kit comes with Ultra Sensitive Multi Task, two Ultra Sensitive Mineral Bases, and a Kabuki brush. All Mineral Secrets makeup is free of perfumes, parabens, fillers, dyes, and never tested on animals. They are also made with aromatic botanicals that benefit your skin.Botanicals and Their Benefits:
- Lavender - Normalizes any skin type and stimulates cellular regeneration
- Sandalwood - Anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, antiseptic and anti-aging
- Geranium - Calming, refreshing, mildly tonic and astringent
- Ylang Ylang - Softens, smoothes, balances skin and reduces oiliness
- Patchouli - Decongestive, astringent, reduces redness
- Cedarwood - Sedative, astringent properties; reduces skin eruptions and itchiness
- Palmarosa - Immediately calms and refreshes skin; strong anti-aging properties
- Green Tea Extract- Rich in anti-oxidants, reduces under eye puffiness, antibacterial
After trying out the set, I am SO impressed with Mineral Secrets. Some mineral makeup will actually make your skin kind of burn or itch, but this makeup does not do that at all. Also, I love that the base is non-shiny because again some mineral makeup on the market leaves a shiny finish, which is not good for someone who has oily skin like me. Mineral Secrets gives you a totally matte finish and conceals any redness, blemishes, or uneven skin tone. Mineral Secrets also has natural sun protection built in so there is no need for a separate sun screen!The Ultra Sensitive Multi Task can be used wet or dry as eye shadow, eye liner, lipstick, blush and even to color your clear nail polish! My favorite thing though is that at the end of the day, when I take my makeup OFF, my skin is RADIANT and all one color-no redness or uneven skin tone! This has to be because of the botanicals that actually improve your skin! Totally amazing!
Another cool benefit of buying Mineral Secrets is that they offer you free access to their licensed aestheticians! They have a toll-free customer service line staffed by knowledgeable experts committed to helping customers find the right products. That is so helpful and really sets Mineral Secrets apart from other cosmetics companies.
Want It: Mineral Secrets can be purchased online directly from the company website.
This giveaway is closed. Congratulations to the winners: Marin, jemscout425, and lilyk! Winners have been emailed and have 48 hours to contact me.
