Welcome to the *Mineral Makeup Diva* blog

What can I say!? I'm a Makeup addict!

I have tried and used many makeup brands like MAC, Smashbox, Grimas, Bobbi Brown etc. All of them are very great brands, especially for professional use.
Now I am addicted to Mineral Makeup as well. There's millions of Mineral Makeup brands out there. I prefer those without Bismuth and any other irritating fillers as talc, cornstarch etc.
Love doing my own MMU, as well.

Hope you'll enjoy this blog and recommend your fave sites and give away your tips & tricks, tutorials, best recipes etc.
Enjoy!

Packaging / Shrink wrap

Ok folks, now I have talked a little about making you own MMU which ofcourse I'm not done with.

But now I wanna show you how you can seal your filled jars with shrink bands from TKB trading.


Feel free to recommend more sites where to get labels, packaging etc for makeup. International shipping prefered.

Great E-Book for beginners who want to make their own MMU


The title says it all !

CoastalScents have this excellent E-Book about making your own MMU.

Here's my review of the book.

Great explanations in about every single way. From utilities, colors etc.. The recipes are great described as well. The only thing I miss in Kathy's book is a list of substitutes for the fillers she's using in her MMU. That just my opinion since my skin hate cornstarch, rice powder and similarly stuff like that.

But let me say, the recipes gives you an idea how to make your own makeup and then you can experiment with the fillers you like. I recommend CS Forum, as well!

Make your own MMU

CoastalScents.com

This site has both mineral makeup and ingredients so you can make you own makeup. One of my favorite sites.

www.theshespace.com
MMU line called "About Face Cosmetics".
They have a million amazing pigments for your eyes.
If you can't chose what eye pigment you wanna buy, then try their tiny samples for $.50 cents for one sample. Comes in a zip-lock bag.


Another product I love is "Lip Junk". Great colors, none sticky and gives a lot of shine. And they have a nice flavor, as well IMO.
Unfortunately they have no samples of this product.

Personally I love the "Multi use colors".
Amazing colors and in every shade you can imagine. You can buy some cheap samples, before you decide which shade who suits you. All of her own produced products does not contain any fillers, dyes, Bismuth oxychloride, perfumes or other irritating chemicals. Great costumer service as well !

www.signatureminerals.com
Before you decide what colors who's suits you, I recommend ordering their free samples. You can chose 6 samples in every category,shade and color you like. And it's does not contain Bismuth or any other irritating chemicals.

www.everydayminerals.com
IMO those mineralfoundations are best for my skin. I prefer to use "original glow" and love the what it does to my look. But everyone is different. What suits me best, does not necessary suits you the best way. You can order 5 free samples, 3 mineral foundations, 1 concealer and two blushes/ face colors. Like the other brands here, it does not contain Bismuth or any other irritating chemicals.


Please feel free to recommend other great mineral makeup sites. Thanks :)
