Mineral Makeup Review: Avon Smooth Mineral Eyeshadow

Reposted from sister blog Beautynomics



I must admit that I only keep a small collection of eyeshadows. I don’t like collecting too much - I think I’m more obsessed with a flawless canvass, and recently, beautiful cheeks. But of course, staple shades would always be on my vanity table. I’m a schizo when it comes to eyeshadows - sometimes I want them soft focus, and feminine, but sometimes I want them ultra pigmented, that gives instant color at first swipe. What I don’t like? Color that’s too diluted, texture too powdery, or color just won’t show up no matter how much you pack colors on your lids.

With my recent love for playing and experimenting with eyeshadows, I have tried Avon Smooth Mineral Eyeshadow.

Superfine powder pigments blend like a dream. Use one or layer, go sheer or smoky. Whisper-soft, air-light. Natural radiance, pure luxury.

Loose eyeshadow. Using loose mineral eyeshadows must entail a very careful application, for once powder falls on unwanted places ( like your undereyes ) , they are very hard to remove. A generous dusting of loose powder under the eyes is most recommended prior to playing with loose eyeshadows. Let the excess powder fall of there. Sweep them away later.

Checking out the packaging of Avon Smooth Mineral Shadow, it comes with an instant brush applicator. As you open the container, you get to pull up your brush with product on the brush already. You can always re-dip for extra color. The brush is made of animal hair - the quality is okay, but if you’re comfortable with longer handled brushes, you can always skip the brush.

Avon Smooth Mineral Eyeshadow has three shades - Mocha Goddess, Midnight Mauve, and Pixie Dust. What I have here is the Mocha Goddess and Midnight Mauve. Mocha Goddess is a very pretty shimmery medium brown with a hint of copper, while Midnight Mauve is a shimmery, buildable mauve color.

Though Midnight Mauve is a very very sexy color for smoky eyes, my personal biased choice goes to Mocha Goddess. Reason? Blame me, I’m a neutrals addict. I used this once for a date, and the brown had some hints of copper ( being not totally brown, a very very warm brown, in fact ) , and I loved how it looked on my lids. Take note that I only used the color, and nothing else. I played with gradient and packed and deposited more pigment near the lashline, working my way up, giving a lifting gradient ( from dark to light, going up ). Yes, you can play with just one color of eyeshadow!

To comment on the texture, and staying power, an eyeshadow primer would have to be applied prior to applying this, for aside from its being loose mineral, it won’t adhere as good on your lids without a cream product underneath - if you don’t have an eyeshadow primer, your trusty creamy concealer would do. This goes normally for loose mineral eyeshadows, or even selected pressed eyeshadows. So make it a habit to apply something creamy on your lids to prime before applying eyeshadow. It makes a HUGE difference. Color payoff is better, and staying power is definitely more satisfactory!

Well, if you ask if I love this? I’m like it. They’re beautiful and they’re wearable. Truth be told, there is one star product from the Avon Smooth Minerals Line that I’m giving a huge rave to. Stay tuned!

Mineral Makeup Review: Avon Smooth Mineral Foundation

Nowadays, with every product having the word “natural”, “organic”, “preservative-free” being the entice-factor to every person’s shopping decision, mineral makeup is the choice for the health conscious women ( and men ) out there.

I’ve been obsessed with mineral makeup, and made the switch almost the same time as I started my blog. If you ask me if I still use traditional makeup - I say yes, but it stays less than 24 hours on my face. And I use it sparingly. Mineral makeup will be my ultimate choice for everyday makeup, and even makeup for special occasions. Mineral makeup is the only kind of makeup that my skin feels home to. Alot of women ( and men, for that matter ) are starting to embrace and make the switch to mineral makeup, for mineral makeup does not clog pores and does not aggravate acne. In other words, mineral makeup is makeup that gives you no headache.

Say hello to Avon Smooth Mineral Foundation, Avon’s answer to the needs of women today, with its version of mineral makeup.

Looking at it overall, it’s packed in such a cute way that there’s already a kabuki brush that you can just use to apply your mineral foundation with. Nice, huh? It is actually a steal already for P 499.00, with a mineral foundation , and makeup brush in one!

When it launched in the Philippines just this February, it introduced two shades, a lighter shade called Almond, and a darker one called Buff.


Avon Smooth Mineral Foundation in Almond



Avon Smooth Mineral Foundation in Buff

Swatching it further, I was actually surprised that Almond, which was supposed to be the lighter shade, was still darker than my skin tone ( which was light, or light-medium ). Applying it on my face made my face dark. I conclude that Almond is good for those who use medium shades.


Swatching Almond


Swatching Buff

Buff, which is the darker color, will work great for those who use deeper shades of foundation - perhaps a tan complexion.

I was actually disappointed that Avon didn’t have a shade to suit my complexion, but take it this way - those who have trouble finding shades for their skin, might be able to find the perfect match with these deep shades of Avon Smooth Mineral Foundation.

Well, with me not giving up, I still decided to roadtest this and try to sport a tanned face for an entire office day. With my mom exclaiming on how tanned I look, I simply told her that I was roadtesting Avon’s mineral makeup line. Haha!

As for the texture, I see no shimmer on my face upon application. The color goes on smoothly, and it feels light on the skin. A few hours after, I don’t see or feel my face oiling up ( which is a good thing ), but after a grueling day, I felt that touchups were needed to keep the makeup on. One good way to make this stay on the skin is spritzing with moisture mist after foundation application, then setting with finishing powder.

Overall, Avon Smooth Mineral Foundation has the texture , but requires effort for it to last the whole day. Perhaps spritzing with moisture mist, or just bringing it along with you. The effect is natural, and does not look like the face is overly made up. Definitely something to try. I really hope that Avon launches lighter shades for their Smooth Mineral Foundation product.

What?s New: Fresh Minerals

Looks like there’s a new mineral makeup brand in the block!

Fresh Minerals
, comes with a very “fresh” tagline, “beauty never felt this fresh.” I havent tried the line for myself, but what impressed me at first inspection on their website is the packaging.

The foundations are packaged just like Philosophy’s Supernatural Mineral Powder, the concealer tube with brush looks like a Tarte product, other mineral powders are in very convenient pump brushes, and the color scheme, including the lipstick’s packaging, is very much Shiseido. Mineral eye powders look like Bare Escentuals packaging. I must say, the packaging and presentation is very elegant, but, will it fare well on our skin?

The line looks complete, from primer, to loose mineral foundation, pressed mineral powder, loose mineral bronzer, light reflecting concealer ( in liquid form ), pressed mineral blush, loose mineral eyeshadows, and even mineral lipsticks!

Anyone who has tried this line? I’m very very curious about it!

Mineral Makeup Saver

Mineral Makeup SaverMineral Makeup Lovers Rejoice!! A fellow Mineral Makeup Lover has created a solution to the #1 complaint about minerals! The complaint? It’s TOO MESSY (especially when traveling). The solution? The Mineral Saver, which is an insert for your jars. It is made of foam with a plastic shield on the bottom.

Recently I was contacted by Christine Richardson about her new invention. Christine is a retired US Army Lieutenant Colonel. While she was active duty she loved her minerals but hated traveling with them. She came up with a solution and is now offering it for all mineral lovers to enjoy.

Christine asked if she could send a sample of her product for me to review. When the package arrived I opened it and it contained a jar of Bare Minerals Foundation. I was kinda surprised… But when I opened the jar, there was a Mineral Saver inside and much to my amazement, there was not one speck of foundation above the sifter! Can you imagine if you sent a jar without the saver how much foundation would be above the sifter? So I decided to have a little fun. I closed the jar and shook it over and over, still no foundation above the sifter. I played toss with it with my husband – nope no spills. I was blown away. I need these!

Mineral Makeup SaverI also realized that in addition to being incredible when you travel, these will also allow minerals to be carried in your purse to be used for touch ups without all of the fancy containers or brushes. Just pop in a mineral saver and you are good to go.

These are available in 7 different sizes for all different brands. I was also very impressed by the pricing – they are sold by a 4-pack and the price varies based on the size, but the biggest, most expensive ones are less than $2 each. These will save much more makeup than that.

If you’d like to learn more, check them out at The Original Mineral Saver. Leave me a comment below to let me know how you like them!
