Look Fresh For Summer With Mixology Mineral Makeup

Welcome back to Etsy Saturday! Sorry I missed last week. I was having a much needed girls weekend, sans makeup. But now I am ready to get back to my beautiful self.

Let me just start with a gripe. I know God made me in His image but sometimes I have to question whether He really looks like a short chubby middle aged woman with one zit on the tip of her nose and two on her chin. Really?

As you can guess I have troubled skin. I had great skin as a teenager and then childbirth went and screwed it all up. Thanks a lot kids! Most makeups I have worn have just irritated my sensitive skin more. But then I found: MIXOLOGY MINERAL MAKEUP on Etsy.

So let's start with the basics, foundation. I am a Natural Girl. Rae, the mastermind behind Mixology Makeup has created sample packs so you can find just the right shade. Choose from White Girl, Natural Girl, Olive Girl or Mocha Girl. My mom bought me a Bare Minerals start up kit for Christmas one year. I tried it for about a week and then went back to Mixology. It's good for your skin, it's eco-friendly and it's a philanthropic company; a triple threat! You can buy Mixology Mineral Products on Etsy or via it's own website.

Have you ever noticed my beautiful blue eyes? I know you have! And you know how I know, because they POP! That's right, when I wear the Blue Eyes Pop collection, I leave men speechless as they gaze into my glossy blue pools of crystalline waters. Or maybe they are just staring at that zit on my nose. Either way, it makes me feel pretty and that's half the battle right ladies? Don't have dazzling blue eyes like me? It's okay, you can get Green Eyes Pop o Brown Eyes Pop. It really does help when you are as clueless as I am about mixing and matching colors.

And before you apply your eye shadow try out this new vegan eye primer called Paste. This is definitely going to be my next purchase. It is supposed to help prevent creasing and make your shadow last longer. Want to brighten those apples on your cheeks, I love my POP blush highlighter. It looks bright in the jar but goes on in a lovely light shade of pink.

And now for the item I can't live without. It's called Go Commando. And if you, like me, choose to forgo the makeup every now and then, at least use this mineral veil. It is translucent but still helps to even out my skin tone and best of all it helps with oily skin. I'm telling you this is a Godsend in the summer. But if you're one of those people who don't leave the house without makeup, this is still a great primer and helps to fill in those nasty little lines and wrinkles our little ones lovingly put on our faces.

Not sure my color choices would work for you. No problem, Rae has created over 75 different eye shadows for you to check out and 11 for your cheeks. Send her a picture and she will help you create a custom mix of everything you need. You can even model yourself after a favorite Twilight character, Bella, Rosalie, Esme and more!
