Hey everyone!
So. Mineral makeup. Do you like it or do you stay away from it? I fancy myself a mineral makeup lover, but we all know that while that may be true, I don’t really use the stuff enough.
I’ve inexplicably accumulated a lot of colors, though.
So! In an attempt to at least use a portion of my mineral eyeshadows, I’ve decided to do a mineral eyeshadow challenge in which I use just those for a week! I was thinking of doing a 52-Look Challenge, where I make a mineral makeup look at least once a week for a year, but I don’t want to get ahead of myself. Let’s see if I can do this first. 🙂
I thought about not showing my mineral eyeshadows because it’s a little embarrassing, but in the interest of transparency and honesty, here is the mother lode, complete with a nosy puppy:
Not the most ideal storage “solution,” but I don’t exactly have a lot of space. I’ll try to do the seven looks on consecutive days, and I’ll post the first look I’ve cobbled together later today! Stay tuned for that, I hope. 🙂
Do you use mineral makeup? Why or why not?
Softly Sometimes 
Reblogged this on Ultimate Skincare & Beaute Report, LLC.
I got a sample of Venus & Mars Mineral Eyeshadow in Halo (a beautiful green shade) but I didn’t know how to apply it correctly, and it became too messy to use. 😦
Do you have an eyeshadow base/primer? I find that helps a lot. Also, you want to press the brush on the lid, instead of swirling it around, which kicks up the eyeshadow instead of making it stay on the lid.
Yes that was my mistake, not using a primer! Reading up on using mineral eyeshadow, actually, but I’m not the most patient person haha.
Yeah, it’s really not for people who are rushing out of the house. Especially if you are clumsy like I am! I live in perpetual fear of spilling all of my eyeshadow 😦
That would be a nightmare!
Eeeep cute puppy! Eeeep awesome collection! Looking forward to the Shiro eyeshadows looks. 😀
Thank you! 🙂 I’ll try use them as much as I can!
Aww, puppy love!!
When I first glanced at your container there, I thought – hey, what is she talking about, it’s not so bad! But then I figured out it’s two layers of pots 😀 Works for me, because I’m really curious about mineral makeup and I LOVE a good selection.
Looking forward to your new series! I ended up with 3 Chanel lipsticks after your last one, so here we go….. 😀
Hee!
But yes, I have quite a bit of pots here. D: It actually started with the bM holiday set, A Vision in Velvet, which had TWENTY pots. And it all snowballed from there.
Eep! I hope you are enjoying them at least. 🙂
I tried a sample of mineral foundation from Bare Minerals once. I like it, just haven’t found the time to purchase a full size of it… I am looking forward to this 🙂
I looooove the bare Minerals loose foundation! One of my absolute favorites. I’m kind of at a loss re: my current liquid foundations because I just want to use bM forever!
I have to admit that I do not own any mineral makeup. Maybe your posts will inspire me to try them. 🙂
Mineral makeup is pretty awesome 🙂
I have a bunch of mineral eyeshadows too, but I rarely use them, I don’t know why. I absolutely love mineral foundation though! It looks really natural on the skin. 🙂
I think you really have to have enough time to do your makeup if you want to use mineral eyeshadows. It is so stressful because you don’t want to make a mess or wast any product! Hehe.
I love mineral foundation, too! Lately, I’ve been finding that I prefer it to pressed powders or liquid. :0
I absolutely love the series you’re coming up with. 🙂 Can’t wait to see!
Thank you! 🙂 I’m having a lot of fun experimenting, too.
Nosy puppy!! I like mineral eyeshadows though the loose ones I try to keep away from, the mess! Looking forward to your looks. The thing about mineral shadows is their impossible to use up!
It’s true! I don’t know what I was thinking!
