LOTD: Miami Rock

   Aaaaaand here is the party look I mentioned! Unfortunately, on the pictures it didn't turn out as intense as it was in reality, but you get the picture! Electric colors, thick eyeliner and so on! For this I made my skin look more tanned than I am since I can imagine this look for a summer night more like, don't really know why! But if you use less bronzer or a blush in colder tones, with all the cold colors, it can be perfect for this cold season too. So finally, here are some pics:

Review: MINERAL HYGIENICS Mineral Enhancer

Good evening, darlings! I'm glad to see some of you enjoyed the look I've posted earlier today! I was usually not a fan of yellow/ golden and purple combination, but it really fit the season and weather today!

I wanted to do this review yesterday evening, but I had pilates, then I got home really tired and could not get myself to gather my thoughts for the post. Though I was anxious because I love this product and it deserves all the attention! Mineral Hygienics made me fall in love with mineral make-up and made it a MUST HAVE in my rutine! 

Must confess, this Mineral Enhancer in Warm Kiss is more suitable for summertime for me, since now I am quite pale, and the pigmentation is strong and you only need a minimal amount for very visible results. 

It contains shimmer particles which look really pleasant, so even on pale skin, a moderately small amount gives my face some extra life, mainly for a party look! Actually, I have a party look prepared where I used this bronzer/ blush, so stay tuned! ;)

Official description:

'Warm Kiss Mineral Bronzer

'Everyone's favorite! Soft, sheer, subtle sunkissed glow. Create the illusion of radiant, sun-kissed skin! Use as a healthy looking complexion booster, blush, cheek contour, eye shadow or lip color. Our Sheer Mineral Enhancers are light, natural and are perfect for color adjustments to your foundation.'

Swtaches (no primer, directly on skin; first one layer, then 2):

*natural light:

*flash (so you can see the amount of shimmer it has):

Pros:

• mineral benefits
• strong pigmentation, you don't need much product for the desired effect
• a good amount of product for your money
• healthy-looking, yet subtle shimmer
• Mineral Hygienics services, definitely!!! They were very generous, polite and elaborate in their responses, impecable and cute packaging!
• adheres to the skin right VERY well so you need to apply it little by little
• incredible staying power I met in all Mineral Hygienics products!
• cute and ellegant container. Also, doesn't let pigments slip out like so many loose pigments do.

Cons:

• nothing really, just the same 'problems' I face with any product in shape of loose pigments: it can be tricky to carry around and re-touch, needs to be handled carefully since some pigments can fly around very easily when opening for example, BUT it is TOTALLY WORTH IT!

Would I re-purchase it? YES!!! I am glad though I still have a lot of all of my Mineral Hygienics products received in July, eventhough I use them almost daily. I will review the rest of these products (foundations, powder, brushes) very soon!

Oh, by the way, here's a sneak preview of the look I was talking about! I used this bronzer here:

*Note! Reviews contain my personal honest opinion about the product.

HAUL: Mineral Hygienics goodies!

   On this hot hot day, I went to get my package from the post office in Târgu-Mureş (city close to my town).  It was something I've been anxious to receive, since I've heard countless good things about these products. I want to give a huge thanks to Mineral Hygienics for giving me the opportunity to try some of their so massively praised products! I have a pretty problematic face, so I am curious if they will help me as much as they seem to have helped other people.

   I LOVED the professionality and playfullness of their packaging! I received a nice pinkish-red Mineral Hygienics box with white floral design on it. I was curious, so I opened it in the car, which was a bit of work since it was pretty well-sealed (which is good!). First I saw a whole bunch of black-pink zig-zag paper stripes, so I dug deeper. I found this Blue Raspberry candy, which was literally a sweet little bonus: on the inside it had this sour liquid that gets fizzy and stingy...like the candies called Shock that were popular longer ago :P yum-yum!

   Next, I found the real deal! A sheer pink tulle-like bag with 5 containers of pretty generous size and a brush! The company payed attention to everything, after they let me choose my products/ shades, they were willing to send me the XL Kabuki brush with them, but I already have that one, so I asked if I could get another brush instead....said and done!

   On the bottom, I found the invoice with some flyers and brochures.

Here you can see the products open (but well-sealed!) in natural light:

Here's what I got, as it stands on the invoice too:

- foundations: Sheer Foundation 20 gram: Light, Medium, Light Tan

- bronzer: Warm Kiss

- finishing powder: Matte

- brush: Flawless Face

- Product Directions Catalog, Face Flyer

I will be back with a bunch of reviews soon enough! Meanwhile, I have some good news for all of you:
