Mineral makeup seems to be the rage right now- and why shouldn't it be? It feels amazingly light and airy on the skin, is much less clogging to your pores than regular foundation, and can usually be purchased in an all-natural state.
I recently came across a wonderful little Etsy shop called Simplicity Cosmetics. This shop offers a great variety of mineral makeup, including blush, eye shadow, foundation and more!

The best part is that the makeup contains:
No Parabens
No Bismuth
No Nano Minerals
No Dyes
No Cornstarch

Yay for natural! =)
Over the last few months, I have become more interested in natural skin care. My skin tends to be oily, and thus is prone to some breakouts/shininess. My foundation only seemed to clog my pores, not to mention make my face feel heavy and greasy. Yuck!
Then I came across mineral makeup- and the way I look at makeup changed dramatically!
Okay- I've talked enough! Let's get on with the review!
Mineral makeup, when applied correctly, can give you a very natural look, while still giving your skin a more even tone and nice matte finish.
Earlier this month I contacted Simplicity Cosmetics to see if they would be interested in a product review. The owner, Sarah, got a reply back to me within hours letting me know that she was willing to send several items to me.
I picked several eye shadow and a blush sample, 1 regular sized foundation and 1 regular sized mineral primer.
Below are the colors I selected:
{Peony Blush}
{Petal Eye Shadow}
{Stone Eye Shadow}
{Bloom Eyeshadow}
{Mineral Foundation}
Sarah was great and got my order out right away, even though she was going to be gone on vacation within days. That's great customer service!
I received my samples within a few days, and once I got a chance, I tried some of them out.
They are amazing!!!
I am totally in love with the Petal and Bloom eye shadows. I really like to keep my makeup as natural looking as possible, and these eye shadows did a wonderful job at it!
They have just enough color and sparkle to really make your eyes "pop", while still looking soft and natural.
I also really love the foundation, blush and primer. They all go on very nicely and feel so natural on my skin. I forget I'm even wearing makeup with them on! They look very natural on my face, yet still help to even out my skin tone and combat any shininess.
Overall, I was VERY pleased with my experience with Simplicity Cosmetics.
Sarah was an extremely helpful person to work with, and even include several other samples besides the ones I requested.
The shipping was very fast, as I mentioned, and Sarah was very prompt in answering my e-mails.
I'd give this shop an A++ for great customer service and products!

Thank you SO much for doing this review! I enjoy wearing a bit of makeup, like you, to even out my face and combat the shininess. However, synthetic stuff has gotten so expensive now, the natural stuff is almost cheaper, or about the same! I used to go with whatever was cheapest... but, if you take care of your face, it will take care of you! (ha, or something like that!) I definitely found a few I would buy! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks again!
