My review of Everyday Minerals Cosmetics
Ever since attending the Revlon launch some while back, I’ve been quite fascinated by mineral makeup. Recently, through Sylvia, I stumbled upon an entry about free mineral samples and I’ve ordered the Everyday Minerals sample kit.
This consists of a concealer, blush and foundation. I’ve been using them for about a week now and I’m really happy with it so far.
Below are two videos of :

Have you used mineral cosmetics before? What do you think of it?

Update : After using it regularly for about a month, I realise that the matte formula dried up my skin quite significantly. I recommend that you moisturize thoroughly or mix the different formulas together.

yeay i got it too!! and you’re right! the jars are so so so so cutesyyyy. powder is super super fine and kept flying around. but overall it’s nice and coating perfectly! i think i chose shades that are too light though.. and i thought i’m fair skinned. bleh. especially the concealer. it was so light, and so glittery/shimmery that even after i put on foundation i can see the dots of concealers.

hehe one more addict on the EDM bandwagon! the sample jars are cute, i’m going to miss them now that EDM is going to replace them with some other packaging.

According to the EDM website, they will be changing the jars to something else though. I’m glad to hear that the new packages will make the new shipping cost less and we have more items :D
I’m looking forward to that … hehehe
And indeed, the foundation colours are way off from what is seen from the website. Fortunately, I think that the owners will be revamping the pictures as well as the foundation itself!

But at the exchange of increased amounts of samples … I’m looking forward to that! :D

When I took the video, I was facing the window and it was daylight whereas in the picture, it was day, but in the shade. The differences shouldn’t be too much :)
I think that if you knew what your undertones are, it would help a lot. Does your skin has any red undertones? Then you’d be good with warm colours. For me, I have yellow undertones so golden is great for me.
I’m looking forward to my next haul to see if olive-golden medium is good too. Its been said that its great for asian skin like us :)

Hi, Marina! Thanks for stopping by my blog. I love mineral pigment eyeshadows but have never really been keen on mineral foundation since my skin’s so dry and the powder just cakes up on my skin. I’ve heard so much about EDM that I’ve just placed an order for some samples. Good to hear that you’re loving them! I look forward to mine. Anyway, hope to see you around!

Hi Connie! :-)
I love mineral eyeshadows too, especially the ones from Pure Luxe. Have you used them before? I think that they are really nice and glides on the skin :) Will be doing a review on that in a week or two.
And I think that you’d like EDM. I havent heard of anyone not liking them in all my research! :D
