Coming soon, new eyeshadows, and 10g jars, and an update on my skincare.

After months on end of offering only samples, I've finally put in an order and our 10g jars should be here next week!  Sample jars of our shadows, blur, and foundations will still be 2.50, while our 10g jars will be as follows:

10g jar eyeshadow..................5.00
10g jar blur primer/ finisher......5.00
10g jar foundation...................5.00

Foundations will be reformulated over the next few weeks to contain silk powder and allantoin.  These two ingredients are both very beneficial to the skin, and I just had to have them in my foundation base!  Silk powder contains 18 amino acids which can absorb into the skin, it reflects light to give a flawless face look, it absorbs oil, so it works well with oily skin, and it can also self adjust moisture, pulling or absorbing moisture when needed.  Allantoin is a skin protectant, is very soothing to cuts, sunburn, etc, and can stimulate new cell growth.  The more research you do on these two ingredients, the more you will fall in love as I did!

Now onto my skincare.  So a few months back I was testing out the oil cleansing method for my acne prone skin, and it did not go well at all.  It ended up making my cystic acne worse, so I had to find another solution for my acne once again.  I found a site called acne.org, which is like one of the first websites when you google acne.  I have been following this regimen for going on three months now, and my skin has improved about 90%, while the other 10% left are old acne scars, which are slowly, slowly lightening, and I now only get two active pimples a month, and no more, I repeat, no more cystic types or large lumps have come up!  I will post before and after photos soon (the before and after show a huge improvement) and do a long post on the whole three month process.  The only other thing I did to help my skin was stop using my liquid and cream foundations and use only mineral makeup.

New eyeshadow, foundation, and mineral primer/ finishing veil

Finally getting around to putting up our new products.  This is just the beginning and plenty more to come, as we are getting ready for two craft shows this summer, one in may and the other in june.  So here are all our swatches, first up, the foundation:

 pictured from left to right fairly light, light, light medium, light medium warm, and medium

  and here are the swatches, medium, light medium warm, light medium, light, and fairly light.

from left to right light medium, light, and fair.  All swatches were applied over Blur primer.

The second photo is a close up of the first three, as fairly light is almost my arm color.  All colors are neutral and can be for either creamy, neutral, or yellow tones, and I've added extra yellow tones to light medium warm, and just a tiny bit of yellow to medium.

I formulated our foundation base to be smooth, with good adhesion, so you can get light to maximum coverage without it caking up, and to give it even blending properties.  It doubles as a concealer when applied with a damp concealer brush, and can be added to your favorite moisturizer. It contains light refracting minerals to reduce the appearance of fine lines and pores.  This is wonderful on your skin when applied with our blur primer/ finishing veil.

Blur can be used as a primer before any foundation application.  It blurs out fine lines and pores and makes your skin silky smooth, due to the light refracting minerals.  As always make sure you properly prep your face by cleansing and moisturizing before any makeup application. ( a post on this at a later date)  Complete your foundation by again using blur on top, it will set your foundation as well as give you a soft focus finish without being too matte.  Blur also contains minerals that will help your skin stay matte.

Mineral foundation is different from others because it melds with the natural oils on your skin, thus giving a more natural finish, good staying power, and low transfer or rub off from your skin.

Here are the eyeshadow available so far:

Color and Size

Coco bean sample jar $2.50 Grass hopper sample jar $2.50 Prowl sample jar $2.50 Aquatic sample jar $2.50 Midnight sample jar $2.50 Coco bean 10g jar $5.00 Grass hopper 10g jar $5.00 Prowl 10g jar $5.00 Aquatic 10g jar $5.00 Midnight 10g jar $5.00

All the colors are pretty opaque with low sheen and shimmer.  I was having trouble with mineral eyeshadows being too sheer and glittery for my taste, and these are just a few colors I have formulated so far.  You can't see it in the photo bout Coco Bean is a pretty coco brown with a purple/ blue sheen to it, which would look great especially for cool skin tones.  Grass hopper is a yellow green, prowl a hunter green with soft blue tones, aquatic is a pretty straight forward aqua, and midnight is a deep blue with a little more shimmer than the other colors.  The shadows are easy to blend and have good adhesion.  They can be applied wet for maximum color coverage or even used as liners.

my beautiful sister is modeling our eyeshadow in Aquatic, and is also wearing blur primer/ finishing powder, and our Perfect coverage foundation in light medium.
