NB: I personally use these companies and have ordered from them.
Happy Budget Spending!
I receive many emails from women complaining how expensive minerals makeup is and I can relate to their problem. So when I found this company offering samples to try out at home, I was thrilled and knew you would be too.
The best deal is their mineral foundation samples. It's free, all you pay is the shipping. Select 5 sample size products from the following categories: 3 Foundations, 1 Blush and 1 Concealer making sure the color is right for your skin tone.
A little tip on how to navigate the website. It took me a while to figure it out :-)
Click on makeup, then custom kits, scroll down to the foundation sample and click on "add to cart". Next, click again on makeup, then foundation (or concealer or blush) and drag your choices to your shopping cart on the right. After you've dragged the 5 products of your choice, head for the check out. The sample jars are 5 ml each and come in 4 different finishes:
Original Glow gives your face that added touch of dewiness and long lasting coverage, and is ideal for normal to dry skin.
Matte provides a silky smooth matte finish that is ideal for normal to oily skin.
Intensive ideal for all skin types, provides a silky near-matte finish and controls oil where needed without drying your skin.
Mineral Eyeshadow Samples
Another great way to try everyday minerals spending a fraction of the cost. You get 10 eyeshadow samples for 17$+shipping. I think it's great value as these shadows will last you some time.
Remember to apply the mineral eyeshadows dry for a soft look or wet (use a wet wipe, mixing medium or just water) for a more intense look. Pick color combinations to create a full eye makeup look. For example, try "Smokey Eyeliner" and "Bundled Up" to create a sexy black/grey smoky eye makeup lool.
I will be adding videos soon to review these everyday minerals samples and create an eye makeup style so don't forget to bookmark this page!
