~Mineral Essence All-Over Face Color Review~

Hey everyone!

This is a review on the Mineral Essence Anywhere Face Color in the shade Glow.

Some information from the Mineral Essence website: Now that healthy, sun-kissed glow can be yours all year-round with the latest innovation in cheek and face color. These subtle bronzers contain a natural blend of crushed minerals that come straight from the earth. Enriched with Vitamins A, C & E and antioxidant-rich Green Tea Extract, Anywhere Face Colors are free of fragrances, oils, emulsifiers, preservatives and additives to reveal a more vivacious you - the way nature intended.

The Anywhere Face Color is a sheer pink/bronze with a light luminous finish. This product does exactly what it says, it gives me color anywhere. The face powder, eye shadow, and blush, leaves my skin with a soft subtle sun-kissed glow. I even love to use it on my shoulders and chest.

Mineral Essence Anywhere Face Color works great on my sensitive skin; I have not had any irritation or blemishes. I apply this powder with my Mineral Essence Grand Kabuki Brush, but any fluffy brush will work just fine.

My only issue with the packaging is that the shifter holes are a bit large, which causes more powder to be disbursed. This can result in a bit of mess when using it, if you dispense too much.

This retails for $16.00.

Pros:
~Fantastic sun-kiss color
~Great for sensitive skin
~All purpose powder

Cons (Only one!):
~Large shifter holes

Overall, I rate the Mineral Essence Anywhere Face Color at 4.75 out of 5 sugarcubes! It is a great powder to use when you want to sparkle with a sun-kissed glow!

~Mineral Essence Eye Shimmer Review~

Hey everyone!

This is a review on the Mineral Essence Eye Shimmer in Quartz.

Here is a bit of information from the website: For more than just a pretty face, these revolutionary formulas are blended with the breakthrough Anti-oxyzome™ technology, a fusion of powerful antioxidants, vitamins and minerals that help reduce fine lines and wrinkles, leaving skin softer, healthier and younger-looking with each use. Choose from 18 shades of these beautiful shimmer powders.

I use this Eye Shimmer for many things such as: Eye Shadow, Eye Highlight, Face Highlight, and Body Highlight/Shimmer.

The texture of the Eye Shimmer is extremely fine and smooth. I apply it with either a brush or

my fingers.

Mineral Essence Eye Shimmer is perfect for that romantic date when you want your eyes to sparkle. The Eye Shimmer lasts for 3-4 hours without needing a touchup. However, some of the glitter will disappear over that time frame. So if you want to maintain a heavy sparkle, I would reapply after a couple of hours. If you do not tap off your brush, there can be some fallout with the glitter, which can result in a mess.

I mainly use this Eye Shimmer as an eye shadow and as a highlight underneath my brow. I will also use my Grand Kabuki Brush, and dust the Eye Shimmer along my shoulders, arms and chest for a summery shimmer! Normally, the shimmer will last on my skin for 2-3 hours.

This Eye Shimmer retails for $16.00.

Pros:
~Beautiful color/shimmer
~Multi-purpose
~Smooth/Fine texture
~Easy to use

Cons:
~It can get messy with slight glitter fallout
~Larger shifter holes

Overall, I rate the Mineral Essence Eye Shimmer at 4.5 out of 5 sugarcubes! It is a great multi-purpose product that can help you shine when you need it most!

~Mineral Essence Mineral Foundation Review~

Hey everyone!

This is a review on the Mineral Essence Foundation. My shade match is L3.

Here is a bit of information from the Mineral Essence website: Discover perfect, flawless coverage for any skin tone and type. MINERAL ESSENCE foundations are made of 100% pure micronized minerals and are free of additives, oils, talc, and harsh chemicals. Available in 15 shades, this featherweight formula creates a naturally luminous, radiant look. Plus, it glides on so smoothly, it's like you're not wearing any makeup at all!

This mineral foundation turned out to be my perfect match! At first, I had my doubts because Mineral Essence had so many colors to choose from. However, I was lucky and picked the right one for me!

Foundation L3 is light with yellow undertones. To match your shade on Mineral Essences Foundation Wheel, follow this link!

I found this mineral foundation to be extremely light weight with excellent coverage. When I applied the product, my skin felt soft and smooth, without appearing cakey. Mineral Essence has been the first mineral foundation that truly allowed my skin to breathe.

With other mineral foundations, my nose, chin, and forehead became shiny with oil, in the first 10 minutes. To make matters worse, my skin seemed to have an allergic reaction (resulting in a red rash, hot cheeks, and breakouts!). This Mineral Essence foundation is completely different! My shininess and sensitivity is nowhere to be seen.

In addition, my skin is extremely sensitive to the sun and heat, leaving my cheeks pink/red all of the time. Occasionally, I have found this to work in my favor, because I rarely have a need for blush! However, this foundation worked great to mute my redness into a soft (flattering!) pink shade.

I love applying this foundation with the Mineral Essence Grand Kabuki Brush, but any dense, fluffy face brush will work perfectly!

The only downside to the packaging is that the shifter holes are a bit large. This can lead to more product coming out and a bit of a mess.

This mineral foundation retails for $26.00.

Pros:
~Light weight
~Great coverage
~Perfect matching shade
~A little goes along way
~Did not cause skin reactions for me

Cons:
~Larger shifter holes

Overall, I rate this foundation at 4.75 out of 5 sugarcubes! This foundation is an excellent investment for your makeup collection!

~Mineral Essence Grand Kabuki Brush Review~

Hey everyone!

This is a review on the Mineral Essence Grand Kabuki Brush.

When I first saw this brush, I was amazed at how cute it was! The Kabuki Brush comes in its own protective travel case, keeping it from getting damaged or dirty.

The Grand Kabuki Brush is the perfect size to apply foundation, blush, and body powder.

The brush itself is extremely dense, which allows you to pick up more product, and buff it into your skin with ease.

The bristles are super soft, and they make you feel as if you are pampering your skin just by using the brush!

I find that based on the size of the brush, I am able to apply my mineral foundation in half the time. Plus, I never look cakey with powder when I use this Kabuki!

I have not had a single hair shed from the brush, which is absolutely awesome! You can truly tell a high quality brush, when there are no shedding hairs!

The Mineral Essence Grand Kabuki Brush retails for $30.00.

Pros:
~Extremely soft bristles
~Has never shed
~Very dense
~Applies powder evenly
~Easy to use

Cons (There aren’t any!):

Overall, I rate the Mineral Essence Kabuki Brush at 5 out of 5 sugarcubes! This Kabuki brush is the perfect size for most uses, and it has never shed. It is an amazing brush for the price!
