Finding the perfect shade of mineral makeup just got easier!

Introducing two new products from the Avon Mineral Makeup Collection – Ideal Shade Smooth Mineral Makeup and Mineral Eyeshadow Shimmers. No matter where your day takes you, Ideal Shade Smooth Mineral Makeup leaves skin looking natural morning, noon and night.

This lightweight powder foundation comes in twelve shades and blends perfectly with all skin types for sheer coverage and a flawless finish. Created with PreciseLight Technology, the formula contains light-adjusting pigments so skin looks natural in any light.

Also new to the collection are the Mineral Eyeshadow Shimmers. These shimmers come in four shades and have a soft, natural consistency that glides on effortlessly and blends seamlessly, letting you take your look
from day to night in the blink of an eye. 

Ideal Shade Smooth Mineral Makeup sells for $10 and the Mineral Eye Shadow Shimmers sell for $8. These will be available soon in May.

Meet another line of mineral based makeup, this is Everyday Minerals. "Real Makeup for Real Women... Everyday".  It is true, and could not be more simple. At price points that are affordable for the uncompromised quality, this is a complete makeup line.

Everyday Minerals makeup is all-natural, organic, and non-comedogenic. The line is free from all plastics, oils, fillers, talc, and other chemicals that are normally found  in cosmetics. If this is important to you, you should really look at Everyday Minerals.

The line boasts very pretty lilac and brown, simple packaging, with a large assortment of products. The best way to get a feel for the line is with one of their Custom Mineral Makeup Kits.

 

The kit pictured above is the Everything Kit, which sells for $75. You get to customize the kit by choosing your own colors for the following products: 2 Makeup Brushes & Accessories, 3 Foundations, 4 Blushes & Face Colors, 1 Concealer, 6 Eye Colors, and 1 Finishing Powder.

For more information on Everyday Minerals and to order, please visit their website.

One of the easiest ways to lighten up your makeup routine is by finding a great makeup palette or kit, with products for eyes, cheeks, and lips.

Using a palette or kit will not only simplify your makeup application, it will cut down on the time you spend fishing through your makeup bag to find the perfect products to go with your daily look.  

I have found two perfect solutions. One is a kit, and one is a palette.

 

First there is the all-in-one palette, or as they call it their Quickie Chronicles, from Too Faced Cosmetics.  This Quickie is called The Miss Sixty Girl.

The Miss Sixty Girl Palette includes an eye shadow quad in sunflower yellow, white pearl, shimmering pink, and dark navy;  powder eyeliner duo in black velvet and black with silver glitter;  shimmering peach blush; and four lip glosses in shell pink, cotton candy pink, champagne shimmer, and ruby berry red, plus a removable mini pocket mirror.

Then there is a makeup kit from Bare Escentuals. This kit is appropriately titled Renegade Chic.

The Renegade Chic kit includes a  Lip Gloss in Rose Radiance,  BareMinerals Eye Shadow in Dove,  BareMinerals Eye Shadow in Graphite,  BareMinerals Face Color in Rose Radiance, an Angled Face Brush, and an Eye Defining Brush.

I have been longing for this collection from M·A·C Cosmetics. Flashtronic is full of Lipglass and Mineralize products. In addition to the three new Mineralize Skinfinish powders, M·A·C is introducing six new limited edition shades of Mineralize Eye Shadow. Look at how beautiful they are!

Pictured from left to right are the six Mineralize Eye Shadow's ($14): Ether (Deep aqua with silver, black and gold veining); By Jupiter (Light taupe with beige and deep brown veining); Lovestone (Raspberry with wine and copper veining); Quarry (Sky blue with olive, coral, and beige veining); Tectonic (Yellow gold with lime green, warm brown and black veining); Yellow gold with lilac and chestnut veining).

The shades are "A sheer, pearled, mineralized powder eye shadow with up to four shades baked together in one pan". They feel incredibly lightweight and smooth on soft and shimmery.

The rest of Flashtronic includes the Lipglass's ($14) - Perfectly Pink, Flashtronic, Young Spark, and Electro-Lush. And the Mineralize Skinfinish Powder's ($24.50) - Northern Light, Gold Spill, and Global Glow.

I can't wait to try out the limitless combinations of these products, and will definitely have fun with our M·A·C make over night tonight. I will post pictures over the weekend.

If you caved on any of the newest M·A·C Collections, let us know what you decided on, and how you like it.

Flashtronic is available on counters and online now.

Bare Escentuals has yet another fabulous Today's Special Value on QVC. And I am so excited because I have these products! Yipee!

I was planning on writing them up next week, but I can't help myself today because you won't beat this deal from QVC.

This is the Bronzed Babe Collection, which is a  3 piece set with a brush to give us the ultimate faux tan. It starts with a bottle of body self-tanner.  This Faux Tan Sunless Tanner glides on beautifully and gives you an instant tan while slowly staining your skin with DHA, for a longer lasting tan. Note this is not for the face, just for the body. Next, there are two mineral products for the face. One is Bare Minerals Faux Tan All Over Face Color and the other Bare Minerals A Little Sun All Over Face Color. I like to use the Faux Tan swept all over my face, with A Little Sun on my cheeks, over across my nose, on my forehead, and chin - naturally where you usually get a bit more sun.

Act fast to be a Bronzed Babe soon, as it is a special today only from QVC for just $52.48 (yes, they have strange price points). But as these retail individually for $126 -  it is just less than half price if you were to purchase them separately.

Who is going to join me in this bronzing fun.

And, oh yeah.  This will make a great gift for that Bronzed Babe (wannabe) Mom too!

I almost forgot to tell you that I am writing for Pretty by Nature - a natural and organic beauty blog.

Please do check it out and let me know what you think.

Natural and organic beauty is in a class by itself, and I am having so much fun discovering new products in this category. I hope you will enjoy it too!

On a search for a new foundation, I was thrilled to learn of MAC's new Mineralize SatinFinish and Mineralize Skinfinish products. It just launched this week, and I ran out to snatch up one of each right away.

Satinfinish is a liquid mineral foundation, while the Skinfinish is the mineral finishing powder.

Upon first looking at the bottle of the Satinfinish, I loved the nifty pump - that slid to keep it open or closed,  which is just great. Closing the bottle by moving the pump to the right after each use, certainly extends the shelf-life - a major complaint I have with liquid foundations. I pumped out two squirts, but ultimately needed three to apply it for a nice even coverage to my face. I liked using a simple cosmetic wedge sponge to spread it out, and touched up with a foundation brush around my nose, lips, and eyes. The coverage was plenty for me, and as I played with it, I learned that it is definitely build able if you need more coverag all over, or just here and there.
