Mineral Eyeshadows For That Overall Beauty Look

I  have become a big fan, and a believer, in mineral makeup.  I love how long the mineral makeup lasts, how very little you have to use to get your desired look and how awesome it looks when wearing it.  I don't know if I can ever go back to the pressed department store makeup after using mineral makeup. The older I get, the more I want to have a more natural (and sometimes dramatic) look without looking older.

When it comes to eyeshadow, I typically stick to the neutrals.  I have brown eyes and brown hair, therefore, I usually stick to the browns or even a deep wine color eyeshadow.  I haven't braved the other colors that are supposed to go well with brown eyes, but I sure am going to try at least an olive color one day!

Overall Beauty Minerals has these awesome eyeshadow sets that I recently tried.  There is this light brown set I tried, that covers every color that I am used to using every day.  Each color in this set compliments, not only every eyeshadow color in this set, but also goes well with brown eyes.  

I'm wearing Velvet, Champagne & Snow

Velvet as main lid color, Champagne as brow highlighter and dusting of Snow in the inner corner of eyes. Velvet was used as bottom eyeliner

I experimented with several of the colors and LOVED how they looked. In the set that I received were these colors:
     *Snow
     *Champagne
     *Ivory Lace
     *Swiss Miss
     *China Doll
     *Velvet

 Swiss Miss, Ivory Lace, Velvet & Snow

Swiss Miss as main lid color, Ivory Lace & a little dusting of Snow for brow highlighter. Velvet was used as bottom eyeliner

The ones I've used the most were the Velvet (my favorite), Ivory Lace and Snow.  I used Velvet as my main color for my lids and the Ivory Lace and Snow as a brow highlighter, with the Snow as a highlighter for inside the corners of my eyes.

Swiss Miss, Ivory Lace & Snow

Swiss Miss as main lid color, Ivory Lace & Snow as brow Highlighter & Snow as inner eye corners.  Velvet as bottom eyeliner.

If you want a more subtle look, just sweep on the eyeshadow with a dry eyeshadow brush.  For a more dramatic, darker look, use a damp eyeshadow brush and experiment until you get your desired shade.  I also use the mineral eyeshadow as an eyeliner.  Just wet your eyeshadow liner brush and apply as an eyeliner!  I found that I could get two different looks, just by applying Overall Beauty Minerals eyeshadow wet and dry!

All of Overall Beauty Minerals eyeshadows contain NO FILLERS and are created with pure mineral pigments.  If you've ever tried mineral makeup or mineral eyeshadow, you know that it will last TWICE AS LONG as cake eyeshadow makeup.  These shadows come in a 5 gram jar, sifter and sealed.

If you are not into brown eyeshadows...Don't sweat it!  Overall Beauty Minerals has TONS and i mean TONS of eyeshadows to choose from including: 

     *Shades of Blue
     *Shades of Pink
     *Shades of Purple
     *Shades of Pink
     *Shades of Green
     *Shades of Gold/Yellow
     *Shades of Black/Gray
     *Shades of Orange/Red
     *Sheer/White/Shimmers
     *Highlighters  as well as sample sets

You must check out Overall Beauty Minerals eyeshadows.  I am positive you will find your colors and even collection sets there!

MADminerals Eyeshadows - Bright, colorful array of colors!

Hey everyone!  Remember M*A*D Minerals?  A post I done a couple weeks ago? Well, I'm back with some more great mineral makeup!  This time, I'm excited to show you these awesome shimmering eyeshadow colors.  They are so vibrant, colorful and glide on so easily!  It doesn't take much of this mineral eyeshadow to get a gorgeous look!

M*A*D Minerals has over 300 eyeshadow colors available and let me tell ya...it's kinda hard to choose from!  M*A*D Minerals has colors ranging from Shimmer Mineral Colors to Brown-Copper to Peach, Orange and Purple.  You have to check M*A*D Minerals out to see all the beautiful colors.  Below are just a few that I've received from M*A*D Minerals.

M*A*D Minerals loose mineral eyeshadows are loaded with pearls and pigments. They can be applied to eyes, cheeks, lips, nails, etc and you can even mix and match them if you like...or if you prefer...just wear them alone.  To get a sheer look, apply the loose mineral powder dry and for a more dramatic look, especially an evening out, apply with a wet brush.



M*A*D Minerals has colors that are neutral to brilliant bold colors.  Get fun, get wild and experiment with all the fun colors that M*A*D Minerals has available. All of M*A*D Minerals loose powders are FDA approved for cosmetic use, however, some are not for lip use.  

If you are looking for specific color or just don't know what colors work well with your skin tone or eye color, just send Barbi a message and she will be more than glad to help you out!  Barbi, with M*A*D Minerals was very helpful when I asked her, "what colors work well with brown eyes, besides browns?"  I found out, that brown eyes can wear just about any color.  I just have to get out of this neutral brown shade funk I'm in!

These colors that I have shown below, are just a few I found that are so pretty and different.  I can't post all of them here, but you can see all of them at her Etsy Shop or MAD Minerals website, where she has tons more available.

Choc Mint

Sultry Wine

Cancun Sand

Sultry Silver

Moonshine Loose

I just can't get over just how brilliant and beautiful each color is.  And...these are just photos.  The photos don't do these mineral colors justice.  You have to see them up close and in person.  

The color I'm wearing in this photo, below, is Hyper.  What do you think about it?  I love it!

Get Your Bronze On! - Bronze Beauty Shimmering Stamped Lotion Bar

I love finding new beauty items!  Beauty items that are different, unique and those that were hand created by Etsy sellers!  There are so many different beauty items available on Etsy, that I could just go on and on, reading and wondering about each one.

Now that summer is upon us (and I still have yet to get a tan), it's no wonder that I happened upon this great bronzing bar!  I will have to admit...I'm a bit pasty white, so getting at least a little color, is important to me, especially since my vacation is coming up in July!

This Bronze Beauty Shimmering Stamped Lotion Bar is just that.  It's a bronzer in an aluminum tin, that is beautifully stamped with a nice design.  The Bronze Beauty Shimmering Lotion Bar gives you this slight golden bronze tint, that also leaves your skin feeling soft.  

These lotion bars are made with Organic Coconut Oil (good for your skin), Organic Shea Butter, Organic Beeswax, Organic Vitamin E and Organic Gold and Bronze Mica Mineral Powder.  The bars are infused with three organic skin loving essentials that include: Lavender, Rose and Orange.

I absolutely love how this feels, going on.  It's really smooth to the touch, easy to apply and I even applied a little to my face, to give me that sun-kissed look! I hate going without makeup, especially since my face is ghost white.  I took this little gem with me, this weekend, as we decided to go on a camping trip. I may not have taken any makeup, but this Bronze Beauty Shimmering Stamped Lotion Bar gave me just enough color I needed.

This Bronze Beauty Shimmering Stamped Lotion Bar is available on Etsy and sold by Organiques.  Organiques has 38 items that range from Spa & Relaxation, Lotions to DIY Kits.  You will find Bath and Body products, Lip Scrubs and more...all organic!  Baili Duprey is the owner of Organiques Etsy Shop and just by looking through her shop, there are TONS of beauty products I would love to try!  I love how the bath salts and spa items are so nicely wrapped and presented....ready to give as a gift, it desired.

Lilax Little Girls' Shimmery Occasion Dress With Belt

Easter will be upon us before we know it and how many of us moms already have our little girl's Easter dress?  Show of hands?  Alright, I know it's still kind of early, but let me introduce to you this cute little number.  This dress, shown below, is by Lilax.  I've worked with Lilax several times and their children's clothing and accessories have never disappointed me.  Lilax's has some of the cutest, adorable and well made items for children and this dress is no exception.

This dress reminds me of a grown up version.  I love the short capped sleeves as well as the shimmering, shimmery details to this dress.  The dress is a Fuchsia colored dress with embossed and shimmering gold flower details.  You have to see this dress up close.  It's gorgeous!  The dress has a pleated look, which seems to add a little fullness to the dress. To finish off the look of this dress...a pretty shiny gold belt.  Perfect addition to the pink and gold colors combined into the Shimmery Occasion Dress.

As with many of Lilax's dresses and clothing, this dress is made in Turkey.  It has a round neckline, featuring the popular Lilax logo and has capped sleeves.  The dress also has a hidden back zip closure.  The outer part of the dress is 100% polyester while the inside lining is 100% cotton.  This is a Lilax exclusive design and a well made dress from high quality fabric as well as high quality tailoring.  Every detail in this dress screams, perfection! 

If you've not experienced little girl's clothes by Lilax, now is the time to give this brand a try. I highly recommend this brand as all of their little girl's dresses are made with the utmost quality you can get when looking for that perfect dress for any holiday or special occasion. You can check out Lilax's children's clothing by visiting them HERE.

This dress also is available in a green color, which looks more like a yellow with green tint.  Both dresses are absolutely gorgeous, especially if you have a little Diva who loves shimmering things!
