Sun Kissed

Diva Bronzer with Basic Essentials Kabuki Brush

Necklace is Murano glass and Swarovski crystal necklace @ $10.00

Warm and sparkly!

Don't skip your bronzer. Your mineral makeup bronzer provides your skin with a perfect golden appearence while ensuring a healthy and natural look. All you need is just a small amount brushed onto your face to achieve a luminous sun-kissed effect. Bronzers extend the life of your natural tan, and can give you that sun-kissed look with out the damaging effects of UV rays. However, the right brush is crucial to get the right look, a kabuki is good. And be sure to keep your bronzer brush seperate from your foundation brush. You don't want bronzer in your foundation and foundation in your bronzer. Oh my!

Affordable Mineral Makeup offers two shades of Bronzer, Grand Bronzer and Diva Bronzer; I think most of us can wear Diva. For a natural look, apply Diva Bronzer to those areas of your face that the sun normally hits- the tip of your nose, your cheeks, your forhead and your chin, even your chest and neck area, giving you a warm healthy glow.

Coming soon, a video to show you a great way to apply your bronzer!

Frivolous

Radiant Rose Cheek Color

You know what is fun, frivolous and creative about using minerals for your makeup? Well, alot of things, but for today I will tell you this; you can use your eyeshadow for nail polish. Or, your cheek color for your lipgloss.

So, try this: Take one of your pretty colors of any mineral, one of your favorites, and sprinkle a bit on a tissue. Now, take your clear polish and pick up some minerals on the brush. Now, spread on your nails. Perfect. No need for base coat, as there are NO DYES in the minerals so you dont need to worry about your nails yellowing from the dyes in the polish. (No dyes is good news for your skin too). Now, apply a top coat and wa la, your done.

Easy to travel with. Just pack your favorite minerals and clear polish.

Now, try this: choose another favorite mineral color, say.....Wish Shimmer, and sprinkle it on a tissue, now dip a clear lip gloss wand in it and apply to your lips. There. That's pretty.

I do have another recomendation for you in regard to nail polish...for those times you just want the old fashioned kind of polish, Grin. Try Butter London Polish; a non-toxic line of nail lacquers. Butter London comes in the most dazzling array of colors AND it does not contain the three offensive ingrediants in most polishes; because of this you would think that this polish would not have very good performance, but it does. It lasts and is it ever shiny! I just love it.

"NO Formaldehyde, NO Toluene, NO DBP, and NEVER have."

If I could carry Butter London I would! Oh now, that would be fun.
