Everyday Minerals!

Got my samples already!

Blush: Corner Office (Sheen)

Concealer: Abbott's Perk Me Up

Foundations: Buttered Tan (Original Glo)

Medium Beige (Original Glo)

Golden Medium (Intensive)

I LOVE the blush, it's so gorgeous!

Here's a picture of it on my ahem gorgeous blemish-ful face

I couldn't get a good pic with my webcam of what it looked like in the sample jar.

It's under the sheen category but it looks quite shimmery in the jar. Quite intimidating really.

Looks kinda mauvy apricot-ish but when I applied it to my yellow skin tone it warmed up and has this nice reddish orange flush which I love. I don't do pinks so well somehow.

Here's how it looks like on my hand before and after blending.

It's so super pigmented. for B I just abbed my finger in to the cover of the pot (if you shake the jar upside dwn with the cover screwed on and turn it right side up and remove the cover, some powder sticks to the underside of the cover. This is more than sufficient) and dabbed it on my hand.

Dabbing another dot for A I blended it out and it looks less red and more peachy/apricot-ish.

One dab into the cover's way more than enough to cover one cheek.

As for C, that's the concealer.

It looks pretty great on my hand, disguised the blue veins a little but on my undereye it was a little cakey. But I think that's cause I have super dry skin. The favourite concealer so far is the Maybelline Perfect Concealer. Icyabstract from youtube didn't like it though. So maybe it's just really good for dry skin?

Canmake's stick concealer's too drying and emphasizes my wrinkes. This one settles into them... eerk.

Here's a pic of it on my eyebag (nice ad inflated for you to see), left side with concealer and right with nothing but moisturiser on.

Well it does make it less stark and blended into my skin tone but is it just me or is it bluer? It's supposed to correct the blueness actually lol.

I may use it to set my liquid concealer or something.

Now for the foundation. It's really quite difficult buying foundation off the net because it's something you really need to match to your skintone.

Here's how it looks like on my cheek and jawline. (Real flattering shot isn't it hahah)

A: Medium Beige Summer (Original Glo under Warm)

B: Golden Medium (Intensive under Olive)

C: Buttered Tan (Original Glo under Warm)

I really though Golden Medium was going to be my best bet. Buttered tan looked a little too light.

Turned out Buttered Tan matched my skin tone the best! Medium Beige Summer's clearly not it. It turned out orange O.O It's supposed to be one shade up from buttered tan. Maybe someone mislabelled the jars?

I couldn't tell the diff between Golden Medium and Buttered Tan at first because the powder was sooo blendable and smooth. only after reapplying like two more layers could I see that Golden Medium was too green.

I really like the slightly dewy finish of the original glo formula and because i've been recently chastised for applying hooker worthy makeup (erk, a story for another day) I thin i'll stick with that even though I do love foundation with a heavier coverage.

Alrighty then, I'm looking forward to getting some stuff full-sized from everydayminerals.com

The best deal is to share the 12 piece kit because it's only like USD50 for the whole thing.

Even if all 12 pieces are brushes (shipping tends to soar when you get those) at current exchange rate, it's about SGD8.50 per item. That's including shipping. Crazy or what?
