Look Using Earth Goddes Minerals

I love mineral makeup. There's just something about their versatility that I love! I also notice that sometimes mineral makeup comes up with the most amazing colors and you're just wondering why nobody has ever come up with such a color before. That's how I felt when I received a few samples of Earth Goddess Minerals. I fell in love with so many of the colors and the possibilities are just endless because of the amazing color variations that they have.

Earth Goddess Minerals is a vegan and gluten free line of makeup, created for women who have allergies and sensitivities to mainstream makeup. All of their Multipurpose Minerals have a few uses such as:  when mixed with clear gloss can be a lip gloss, can use as blush, mixed with purified water can be liquid eyeliner, etc.

FOTD + J. Lynne Cosmetics

I received an e-mail in the beginning of the month from Jess, the owner & creator of J.Lynne Cosmetics. J. Lynne Cosmetics is an indie beauty company that offers all-natural, eco-friendly mineral makeup and cosmetics.

She sent me free mineral make-up samples so I could do a testimonial on them and even do a couple of looks for you ladies. I just wanted to show you ladies how amaaaaaazing these colors are.

EDIT

OVERALL
I did a FOTD using JLC and I [100x] love love love their mineral make-up. The consistency of their eyeshadows/blush is so smooth. It glides on so well when applied wet and it doesn't leave that chunky residue on your eyelids [MAC pigments tend to do that to my eyelids sometimes].

This is actually my first time trying out mineral eyeshadows and after creating this look, I highly suggest that you ladies check out this cosmetics line. The lasting power isn't disappointing either. Regardless that I applied UDPP as my primary base, I think the shadow would've lasted longer even on its own.

I also love the fun names that they use to name their eyeshadows/blush. [Cha Cha, Mambo, Flamenco, etc.]

PROS:
→ Colors are vibrant [especially when applied wet]
→ Long lasting colors
→ Great consistency
→ All colors are very versatile [could be applied to eyes or cheeks]
→ Colors aren't overly shimmery which I love. It has a nice satin finish to it.

CONS:
→ None that I can think of.

Since these samples were given to me to do a review, I don't know much about pricing. I can't say what I don't like about it personally, but with the overall product itself, I give it a 5 out of 5! :D

If you have any questions regarding any of their products, check out the website or you can send them a direct e-mail which you can also find on their website. Thanks again Jess!

After 8 hours of application. Not bad ehhh?

The Many Uses Of Helium Pigment

I've had MAC's Helium pigment for over a year now. Maybe two years. And I haven't really used it. I think it's such a difficult color to work with because it's so vibrant yet really sheer and also really really shimmery.

The best you can do is to probably top it off on to some pink eyeshadow just to add extra shimmer or you can apply it wet to really bring out it's vibrancy.

Here are different ways that I like to use Helium pigment.

EYES

UDPP as primary base
MAC Bare Study p/p as a base
MAC Helium pigment all over lid applied wet & topped off dry
MAC Pandemonium e/s on crease
MAC Carbon e/s on outer corner
MAC Cloudbound e/s as highlight
