CLOSED Mineral Basics Review and Giveaway
Mineral Basics began in 2004 as a means to provide all natural cosmetics to people with all skin types and tones across the globe. Chandi, the founder, has personally had dealt with self-esteem-deflating skin issues for most of her life: terrible acne, inflamed skin, oiliness AND dryness, flaky skin, etc. She happily discovered mineral makeup and began manufacturing her own brand. Mineral Basics sells loose mineral powders that buff beautifully and easily into your skin. Mineral Basics offers mineral foundations, blush, multi-use minerals in shimmer and matte colors, concealers and correctors, finishing powders, and more, to meet all of your cosmetic needs. Mineral makeup contains no irritants, preservatives or fillers to aggravate your skin. It is just pure, natural mica and minerals, blended together in soft, silky harmony.
Chandi sent me 15 product samples to try. I chose a handful of foundations, blushes and eye shadows to find out which colors worked best on me. I had tried mineral makeup before and was really looking forward to testing out some new colors. I actually ended up blending two of the foundations together for the perfect look for me. The eye shadow and blush samples go a long way so I was able to get a lot of use out of these.
