Warm Kiss & Silk Translucent:

SWATCHES foundations (with flash) :

I´ve applied it so that you can see the color with a lot of product, and the color when its faded out..

I have so much good things to say about these products..

Don´t really know how to recommend them enough to you guys..? I guess you would just have to try for yourself :)

I feel I can give a honest opinion now after trying the products out for so long! 

You see, my problems with mineral foundations are always that I feel they´re wonderful the first one-two weeks, then after that they just get worse and worse and I get more and more tired of using it because they don´t work for me anymore...

Are there anyone else that´s experiencing these problems with the use of mineral foundations, or just any foundations?

(My guess would be that there´s because of the change on ones skin, first its fine, then it´s dry, then it´s maybe oily, then dry again... I dunno, do you?)

Anyway, I was really scared this would be the same thing.. But I have to say, after using this more or less everyday for at least one month now, they still work great for me :)

But there´s one thing, IF my skin feels very dry, I do put on some dry oil or moisturizer before applying the foundation, it won´t stay on if else..

I really just care about two things when using mineral foundation.

COVERAGE & HOW LONG IT LASTS.

Ofc then there´s natural ingredients etc. etc. etc. and that´s great..!

But it doesn´t help me if the products are 20%natural or 100% natural, it still has to cover and last!

Mineral Hygienics does that!!!!!! :D

Would I use just the mineral foundation when going out to party? No.

Why?

Well you see, I´m one of those girls loving to dress up and "natural" just doesn´t work for me when I wanna look amazing when I´m out for a drink ;) ha ha.

Oh yes, sometimes I guess I probably look like a dragqueen to some, with my extreme black smokey eyes and longest lashes ever, including my pink glittery claw-like fingernails.. Not to forget my overdone teased hair and curls.... ha ha oh well ;)

ANYWAY, not to speak bad of the mineral foundation, but If I were to use this when going out, I would apply liquid foundation first, then go over with the kabuki brush and mineral foundation.. You get it? extreme coverage and longer lasting makeup;-) More is more, and I love me some more :-)

BUT when I´m not really going out that often.. So this is rarely a problem for me. I mostly work and sit at home, maybe going out for a coffee with gf´s.. I still don´t like the natural look, but I tone it down a bit.. And I like the look mineral foundation give me:) 

Believe me, I´m a DIOR SCULPT slave, it´s amazing, but very thick.. Even I like to have a lighter feel on my skin sometimes! Mineral Hygienics give me that ^^

Also it´s important it stays on even through the stressed days at work.

I like that it doesn´t get oily when I get warm when working in the salon, it stays on! OK, maybe it doesn´t give that extreme coverage I would prefer, but I´d rather have a few red marks on my skin than a foundation thats cakey or having white spots in my face! Which I, sadly, have experienced way to many times..

You know, when working in a hairsalon, I don´t have time to touch up my makeup all the time!

And I don´t need to either with the Mineral Hygienics foundation :-)

It´s also great for those days when I´m just staying at home, not doing anything special.. I would prefer to do my whole face and look fab, but I just don´t have the energy sometimes.. So I end up not doing my makeup at all, and I feel like crap all day because I look like crap..:P I just don´t bother putting on the liquid foundation and the setting powder and the normal pressed powder, and not to look flat I need bronzer and blusher and concealer and whatever,....thats not happening, not very often at least, when im relaxing at home alone..

But with the mineral foundation and the kabuki brush, I can fresh up in just a few swipes..:)

OK, I doesn´t look like a princess and I would probably not go out in public with so little makeup on, but I feel so much better :-) And if I were to go out, I would ofc just swipe a little more, THEN I would be ready to go outside ;) It´s so easy :)

Here´s some pictures of me wearing the Medium Tan foundation, Warm Kiss Bronzer and the Silk Translucent Powder :-) (photos not edited).

What do you think? Have you tried Mineral Hygienics?

Whats your opininon?

Would you give it a go if you haven´t tried it already? :-)

Mineral Hygienics Makeup Review :)

You can go here if you want the swatches :)

A few weeks back I got sponsored with some products from Mineral Hygienics, I was so excited! Being such a makeup addict like me, being sponsored with free products, could it get any better?

And as I like to blog, and then again especially to blog about makeup, could it get any better than getting free products for me to try and blog ABOUT?! :D

I know bloggers get this all the time, but for me with "only" 100+ followers this was a big thing :)

It has taken me some time doing this review because I wanted it to be as good as possible for you to read, It was important to me to do a honest review, to try the products out for some weeks and then to say my honest opinion about them.

I will now talk a bit in general about the whole thing, the products and give you some links and stuff :)

~ I´ve then come to a conclusion that I will continue this review in several posts by doing more makeup looks using my products from Mineral Hygienics, swatches of my favorites, and swatches/review of the basic (foundation, enhancer, bronzer) etc.
I will link to my posts so it will be easy for you to keep track of them :-)

I got so many products and this is already such a pic and text heavy post, I don´t know if it´s a good thing to continue in this same post? ;p

Readers like it simple, I know ;) ~

Anyway, here goes! :)

When it comes to mineral makeup, I´ve tried a lot. I´ve had acne problems and my skin is not perfect, so it´s extremely important to me to have a good foundation that covers up my blemishes and bad skintone...

But I also want my makeup to prevent my skin to get any worse.. This is where mineral makeup come in, maybe this would work for me?

I´ve used ID Bare Minerals for years, but as my skin changes with the seasons, so does the effect of the mineral makeup!
One month it covers my skin perfectly, the next month it won´t even stay on my skin or cover my skin AT ALL FOR EVEN 5 mins after applying! God, I´ve been so frustrated over mineral foundations!

It´s been a time since I used mineral foundations now, and I felt ready to try it out again!
Summer is coming and as my skin tend to get a little better during summer, also less dry, this is a good time to wear mineral makeup for me :)

I was really excited about trying out Mineral Hygienics.
And I was so surprised and stunned when I saw all the products they sent me!
Erica has been such a nice lady and communicating with me so well, so a big thanks to you Erica:-))

She asked me what colors I thought would fit me, so she could help me get the right shades for my skin.
She sent me several shades to try and I sure found the ones fitting my skin perfectly! :)

I also got a translucent powder, a bronzer and a kabukibrush!
It was all so nicely wrapped and packed and I also got some guides for appliance of products and how-to´s.
This is very clever thinking of all those younger girls or those not familiar with mineral makeup!

 

  

 

This is the colors I got. 

4 shades of foundation, 1 bronzer and 1 sheer perfection powder.

I was very pleased with all the foundation shades and that is why I want to show you all of them.

Now during spring and summer, the two darkest colors would fit me, as it turns fall and winter again, the two lightest shades would fit me! Great! :) If you´re somewhere in-between you could easily mix the shades together and make your very own shade perfectly matching your skintone;) 

Their starterkits comes with two different foundation shades:)

It´s very easy to apply, you just swipe it on like with any other mineral product.. You gotta work with the brush and mineral foundation if you want better coverage..
It feels very light on my skin, and I feel fresh wearing it ^^
Long lasting for sure! After 9 hours at work, it still looks like when I applied it! Ok.. Maybe with one or two touch ups during the day, but hey, who doesn´t touch up their makeup once in a while? ;)

I´ve really, really, really fallen in love with this bronzer - Warm Kiss. I mostly use it as a contour/blusher actually, but I love it. The shade reminds me of my all-time favorite blush I had a long time ago. Superhappy I got to try this!

I´m also addicted to loose translucent powders to swipe over my face after applying foundation.

My biggest frustration is when I buy a powder thats supposed to be translucent, but when I apply it, it´s really pink! and makes my face look pink and red! NOT NICE!

But this is really sheer and translucent, not anything near pink! :) And no, it does not make your face white either, as other powders tend to do when promised being translucent :)

It´s not always easy buying foundations and such online, I sure know! How do you know the shade will fit your skin?

I´m always scared it will be a total waste of money..

Mineral Hygienics actually offer a 45-day Money-Back Guarantee on their starterkits! You not satisfied? The shade don´t match your skintone? Let them know and you will get your money back :) 

This is what they say:

’’Money-back Guarantee:

We're so sure Mineral Hygienics will work for you 

we are offering a 45-day Money-Back Guarantee. 

If you're not delighted with the results, 


simply return the product within 45-days.‘‘

That´s a pretty good deal innit´ ? :)

You can get your starter kit from Mineral Hygienics for only $59.99 + S&H.

Then the question is again, how do I find the shade that matches my skintone?

Here you will be guided through a few steps helping you find your perfect shade :)

And as I said before, you can always mix the shades together..;)

This is what´s included in a starterkit (Medium):

2 shades of Mineral Hygienics SPF Foundation

-Medium Light Mineral Foundation 

-Medium Mineral Foundation 

Mineral Hygienics mineral enhancer

- Warm Kiss 

Mineral finishing powder

-Sheer Perfection Translucent 

Flawless Face Mineral Brush

Full Coverage Kabuki Brush

Wonder Cover Concealer Brush

Detailed How-To Guide

That´s a bunch of products, right?! :D

Ofc you can go in and buy whatever products you like, no need to be purchasing the whole starterkit. But if you´re in doubt of what to get, the starterkit is a good way to start! ;)

I will for sure be repurchasing the foundation, it´s so good and I´m so happy I got the chance to try it out.. I´m wearing the Mineral Hygienics foundation on most of the newest pictures on my blog, I use it all the time. Actually, at this point it has out conquered my Dior Sculpt (can you believe that?!;)

I would love to hear your opinions about this product, if you tried it :)

IF YOU APPLY THE COUPON CODE ´delirium´ WITH YOUR ORDER, YOU WILL GET 10% OFF YOUR ENTIRE ORDER! :-)

So, please stay tuned for my next post where I will show you more detailed swatches of the foundation I´ve ended up using the most, and also the bronzer and mineral enhancer :-)
