Mineral Makeup??? Nail Polish?

Sun, 31 Jan 2010 13:05:48 +0000

What mineral makeup should I try? I am trying to use natural skincare/cosmetics products because I have hypersensitive skin (and I mean HYPERSENSITIVE) and I find that natural products work better on it.

What is a good mineral makeup (or natural makeup) I don’t have to order online?

Also what is your favorite nail polish? Mine chip way too easily and always leave little white marks on my nails

Mineral Makeup?

Sat, 19 Dec 2009 01:34:26 +0000

Ok…..after a neighbor of mine introduced me to sheer cover mineral make up..I loved it, but after about a month i started breaking out. I think it just might be because of sheer cover. I dont want to stop using mineral make up becuase it is amazing.
I ordered the free sample kit by everyday minerals because many people were saying it is great………..I dont think its so great. It doesnt do anything…It leaves marks on the face….. I know how to apply mineral makeup so i know thats not the problem im thinking of trying BARE MINERALS.

Ok my questions is… What mineral make do you recommend?

Tue, 15 Dec 2009 01:37:37 +0000

I have been using BareMinerals for a while now.. and a friend of mine just tried the E.L.F. mineral makeup.. to my surprise they ELF and BareMinerals come in the exact same casings, same labels.. just different name brand… Does anyone know if there is any real difference between the two other than the price?

Mineral Makeup: Naked Minerals Cosmetics

Sun, 13 Dec 2009 02:36:19 +0000

Mineral cosmetics come from inert ingredients that are found in nature, then they are made into a fine powder. These minerals are harmless because they are not chemically reactive, which is why they are called inert. They also benefit the skin since they are all natural. They are referred to as naked minerals because they are nearly invisible on the skin and because of their natural composition.

There are many benefits of using mineral cosmetics. They are non-comedogenic and hence, are ideally suited for sensitive skin types. Since the mineral makeup powder is extremely fine, they do not clog the skin pores, and hence they keep the skin clean and allow it to breathe. Bacterial growth does not occur because the minerals are inert and inorganic. This is very beneficial for the skin and helps to prevent many skin conditions.

The texture of mineral makeup is lighter and finer than that of traditional cosmetics. It creates a layer of microscopic flat crystals, which functions like a filter, on the skin. This thin layer gives the skin a natural look that is sheer and translucent – a look often referred to as “naked minerals.” Smearing is not a problem with so thin a layer of makeup, so your appearance stays fresh longer.

These cosmetics do not contain harmful chemical preservatives like dyes or parabens which can cause allergic reaction, because the inert and natural composition of these products means that they don’t need preservatives in order to increase their shelf life. The products have a high SPF, because of the main ingredients titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, which act as effective sunscreen agents, providing extra protection against skin cancer. These cosmetics also contain Mica, which will make your skin look softer and smoother by covering up fine lines and wrinkles with a sheer makeup effect.

The anti-inflammatory nature of the zinc oxide makes these an excellent choice for those who have a skin condition, since the makeup helps with healing. Also, the skin can be made younger and healthier by the natural ingredients in the makeup such as clay.

Styling gurus love naked minerals used in cosmetics. Dermatologists also recommend cosmetics with naked minerals because they are made with natural ingredients. For this reason, mineral powder makeup is better than regular cosmetics, which contain many harsh chemical compounds.

Naked Minerals produce a new line of beauty products of the finest mineral makeup.

Makeup Tricks That Erase Years!

Sat, 12 Dec 2009 02:09:50 +0000

With the New Year upon us, I have had many customers email with questions on how to look younger! So I thought I would write this guide to give you some ideas! Besides exercise (yes exercise!), there are three Over-40 essentials that will make you look brighter, prettier and fresher in minutes!

If you need to wake up tired skin, hide wrinkles, and make your whole face look more youthful, then I recommend a Concealer, Hydrating Foundation, and a Rosy Lip Color! That’s it!!! I mean by now we’ve learned many things about applying lipstick, eyeliner, and blush. But as we get older, our makeup must evolve too! Old favorites may not refresh as they used too—and can even make you look older.

1st Concealer…I love it because it lets you fake a great nights sleep! As we age, our skin loses elasticity and thins. This makes you look tired. Concealer can lighten dark circles, give you a well rested look, and provides an overall glow! We recommend our Yellow Mineral Corrector, or our No Baggage Concealer Wand. Both are favorites among our customers at Southern Magnolia Minerals.

2nd Hydrating Foundation…I love it because is is sorta like support hose for your face! Foundation is key because it deals with several age-related issues…fine lines, sagging skin and sun spots. Mineral foundation formulas actually moisturize, heal, soothe and smooth skin’s surface. And to add an extra hydrating boost, you can mix your mineral foundation with your favorite moisturizer and apply! If you prefer a matte finish, I really suggest adding a Primer to smooth skin’s surface first. Because a matte finish alone, may make wrinkles more pronounced. A Primer such as our Velvet Veil or Perfection Powder Primer will do the trick nicely!

3rd Rosy Lip Color…I love it becuase its youthful without looking like a young teen! Lips can lose color with age and become more prone to dryness. I would suggest sheer lipsticks and glosses, such as our Pink Shimmer Lipstick or any of our All-Natural Glossi Glazes. They will hydrate and add sheen, which helps lips look fuller. Natural shades like rose and pinky beige, also mitigate the appearance of fine lines by reflecting light away.

Excerise may not be an easy resolution to keep this year, but looking younger is easy and affordable with Southern Magnolia Minerals!! And when you look good, you feel good, which may encourage you to keep that resolution to exercise! Good Luck!!!

Which product is better when it comes to mineral makeup? Might be a tough question.?

Thu, 10 Dec 2009 01:33:51 +0000

- make ups / make-ups / makeups / make up / make-up / makeup /
I did that so if someone is looking up makeup questions to answer, mine will definitely come up, lol. Anyway, there are so many different mineral makeups out there now. It used to be, when they first came out with it, one name for one mineral makeup. Now there are so many others and knockoffs. I don’t know what to do. Can anyone tell me what was the first line of mineral makeup was called? And, can anyone tell me who came after that or the names and order in which they came out. If that is asking too much, lol, then maybe just the names of all who came after the first line came out. One last question, sorry, which one is the best, price doesn’t matter it’s going to be a gift for my mother.
