Review # 8: Look # 7 + Cosmetics Buff'd
Good morning girls,
few weeks ago I had the opportunity to try some samples of this Canadian company's mineral makeup through an initiative for bloggers (thanks again for the tips N. Marguerite!).
was already a long time I wanted to try because I was so happy when she got the bag with all the samples! I have compiled a sort
questionnaire indicating color hair and eyes, I have chosen samples of foundation and Jennifer, the site manager, has selected me for the other samples based on my color, and were all fits perfectly!
Origin: Canada (NB if you order from Italy's customs and the problem not send jar)
Samples : yes, you can buy in any sample version dust samples
Prices: from $ 1.25 to $ 1.75 (Canadian dollars)
Products: foundation, concealers, face powder, bronzer, blush, enlightening, eye shadow, eyeliner, pure pigments (mica, such as those of Aroma Zone), lip balms, mineral lipstick, lip gloss, kits, brushes, empty jar.
Shipping costs: From $ 2.44 (Lettermail) at $ 8.23 \u200b\u200b/ $ 16.47 (Small Packets Air), but for orders over $ 100 shipping is free (I did the simulations).
Waiting times : Lettermail I received a shipment in 9 days to Christmas, so I would say very fast.
Finishing Powder "Putty"
Powder nude dewy effect, contains a slight pearlescent, it's still a powder clear, almost transparent and does not change the color of the foundation, but his face lights up without being noticed.
Foundation "Neutral - Light
's the perfect light background with subdued neutral, maybe slightly lighter than my complexion, but I did not notice cuts and I prefer to look a little pale orange. This is the fifth mineral brand that I feel and I could not agree with the reviews read / seen in the past because it is very well-covered by a mineral to be dry (I've only used it because I do not like wet application ), stretches well and is perfectly modulated without being dusty face.
Tip: To remove the effect of dust and funds for a light action fixative spray of water just a nice spa! In summer it is refreshing;)
Foundation "neutral - medium light"
It 's a medium pitch, if the neutral light is too light it can do for you.
For all the rest is as good as that of the other just above the bottom.
Tip: valid for all mineral. The best way to find the perfect color you first buy at least two or three small samples close to your color, but above all not to trust the test arm. -Apply a generous "fingerprint" in the face and neck and wait half an hour or an hour, then see how he reacted with the skin. In this way, I discovered that the "Neutral Light" that just seemed too light spread is rather mixed quite well, while the "Neutral - Medium Light," which seemed perfect, tacked to deep pink / orange. Mixed color comes out perfect! However, if the face turns the color orange is not good;)
Highlighter "Candlelight"
E 'an illuminating light golden, very nice both on and below the cheekbones, arched eyebrows because it gives light without being excessive, certainly makes the evening more!
Bronzer "Honey" :
is a dry and light brown shimmer, this is the only negative, because in summer is perfect, but I winter I prefer to use a matte ground.
In any case is not excessive, I tried to use it to make a slight contouring and the effect is very nice, perhaps it is the first bronzer that fits really well with my complexion and understated.
wet eyeshadow is a beautiful bronze / coppery metallic finish.
Blush "Petal"
Blush rose petal color, as its name implies, the powder has a slight pearlescent, but once lay on the face does not we see almost.
When used wet it becomes a pink eyeshadow caught with metallic finish.
Blush "Tricky"
Even the dust of this blush is visually light, contains some pearlescence but the result is always very discreet.
E 'also this is a beautiful pink fish but most of Petal.
Eyeshadow "Gracious"
Lilac rose very clear, I is not particularly good and, unfortunately, fades quickly, even used wet. Shimmer.
Eyeshadow "Rabid"
It 's a deep lilac, cool, amazing both dry and wet, the color remains intense for several hours. Shimmer.
Eyeliner "Stormy"
From the bag looked like a gray smoke, when I put a little into the saucer and I became a wet cold metallic purple, makes a line of eyeliner very beautiful and strong, it there remained unaltered throughout the day.
Tip: to do the eyeliner or eye shadow to the application of wet products will not sophisticated, just a trivial drop of tap water. Passetelo also on the lashes to color and have a mascara-like effect and internal rhyme to simulate the pencil / kajal / kohl.
To achieve this look I used all products described (nobody asked me, it was my idea to show the versatility of mineral products) :
Conclusion Despite the price is not advantageous when compared to other products certainly will buy in the foundation version refill (just finished my stocks) because it is very opaque and I can not use the correction, some speck you see anyway, but I really like the final result even if the skin is not perfect, and covers me well enough bags / dark circles (if the photos do not do too much because I smudged purple, I did before the base and then his eyes, that genius eh?). Having already
large version of the jar refill is convenient because you get in a bag the same quantity of full size, so they can easily send it with shipment Lettermail. The bronzer
Honey (I want to try the matte version) and the illuminating Candlelight I liked a lot, but they are not products that I use every day and wait to finish the samples I already have.
Another product that intrigues me a lot (but that was sent to me) is the matte powder for eyebrows. The eye shadows instead
have a texture that is too thin for my taste, is a feature that I found in many brands of mineral makeup, but I always found better ones with more body / dense (I do not know exactly how to describe them, such as those for Mineral Makeup instance).
The two dark colors are very pigmented and last long, while the lilac (Gracious) had a low yield when used alone, it offers significantly more if buffered above any other color.
A big kiss,

Candlelight

| Very bright, there is no great difference between application wet and dry |
E 'an illuminating light golden, very nice both on and below the cheekbones, arched eyebrows because it gives light without being excessive, certainly makes the evening more!
Honey
Bronzer "Honey" :

Tip: to do the eyeliner or eye shadow to the application of wet products will not sophisticated, just a trivial drop of tap water. Passetelo also on the lashes to color and have a mascara-like effect and internal rhyme to simulate the pencil / kajal / kohl.
** Example ** Look
To achieve this look I used all products described (nobody asked me, it was my idea to show the versatility of mineral products) :
- mix of Neutral and Light Medium Light Neutral all over her face while insisting on the most problematic areas and dark circles
- Putty powder all over her face
- Rabid and then faded from the outside toward the center
- Gracious buffered from the inner to mid lid
- with Stormy, a drop of water and an angled brush I made the line of eyeliner, with the product I have advanced past the brush on the upper and lower lashes for mascara and an effect on the pencil to simulate the internal rhyme (then I also buffered with a bit of dry eye shadow)
- Candlelight under the brow and at the top of the cheekbones
- Honey for a slight contouring
- Petal used as both blush and lightly tapped on the lips (after having first passed a balm)
** Conclusion **
I like
- variety of colors and opacity of the funds also
- easy site navigation
- can order in any dust sample (which most other dealers do not!)
- coverage and long-term fund
- apply and the colors fade easily even if you are familiar with the mineral
- customs, unfortunately for us Italian is not possible to order the jar (although this can be overcome with the version refill, which contain the same amount of full size)
- prices are equal to other European firms, so there is a great convenience in this respect
- view the samples in bags (of course this also makes them cheaper than the mini sizes in jar and greatly reduces the risk customs)
- the texture of the eyeshadows, but it is personal taste, the powder is too thin and I prefer those with a thinner dense
- pearlescent in the presence of all products received (Barring funds) , but you can find the site Matt is the version that shimmer
Conclusion Despite the price is not advantageous when compared to other products certainly will buy in the foundation version refill (just finished my stocks) because it is very opaque and I can not use the correction, some speck you see anyway, but I really like the final result even if the skin is not perfect, and covers me well enough bags / dark circles (if the photos do not do too much because I smudged purple, I did before the base and then his eyes, that genius eh?).

Model Of The Pinta Labeled Parts
Tag: "I'ma conscientious beauty addicted" stages 1-2-3-4
Buondì girls.
It 'been a long, arduous, difficult, but needed. The inventory is done. Useless prepare themselves to make excuses or justifications behind meaningless, so finally I put the total even brushes and glazes, with attached accessories (files, nail files, nail art stickers), of whom I made a rough estimate because they are really many, and to avoid mistakes I've rounded up.
My total for the period from October 2009 to end 2010 is about 1500 € , and I could not calculate the products purchased, finished and discarded because I do not remember them all.
Also consider that this total does not include products or face / body (disposed of buying the wrong situation is back to normal) or gifts made cosmetics my mom (she is not at all make-up and now she has a fine collection, of course they're all gifts, but pulled out of my salary).
So the budget is an indicative cost of around € 125 per month in makeup just for me!
I knew I had spent a little too much, but I do not really believe so much! And I thought I prepared the final report, reasoning "month" is almost painless, but the budget of the entire year is a good shot.
It is impressive especially considering the thousands of things that I did or where I gave up to buy tricks, and many times that I have complained in the family and with her boyfriend who was a economically difficult times-__-
I also need shoes, I have to change the glasses that have lenses rigatissime, I have a cell phone from my two years (those picked up the family and boyfriend who do not use anymore) ... but I always thought these things too expensive for my budget!
As I wrote to Jeanne and Marguerite, we remain in a strictly cosmetic? I always wanted to buy the fund MUFE, but it costs about € 40 and I've always considered too expensive and not within my reach.
Well, in 2010 I spent € 66 in the foundation of low / medium-end, without ever being able to find the perfect color for me because, they are cheap, but they also have a few shades and rarely neutral undertones, or make me become yellowish or orange carrot simpson.
Result? 90% by buying now MUFE I guessed the pitch, I would not be crazy to buy a thousand more and I also saved about thirty euro.
My inventory also tells me that I have a serious problem with everything about the eye makeup, I estimated about € 765 between primer, cream eye shadows, eyeliner, scoops, quad, single eye shadows, mineral, pencil, pencils, mascara, eyebrows. At that point in the calculation, I admit that there was little heart sank. I do not have many duplicates, but I have too much of everything.
Hence the reaction , it takes a much longer period of stop and my mission for 2011 will arrive later this year with as many € 1500 in cash, which obviously should not be spent on cosmetics in the following year, otherwise we are back to square one : D
also admits a file with my little list of cosmetic products on the whims and 2011 (for now) are some must-have MAC brushes, the palette of other mineral makeup (by the way will come out in at least two new future!) and a couple of products MUFE, but honestly I do not know when or if neither will take them, maybe in the summer since I have a discount of 10% arrivatomi Sephora the other day along with the Black Card: D
Now you are well in 99 to know my secret, I recommend water in your mouth: D
