PureZing Review ~ Overall Beauty Minerals

This is right off their website that has a very special deal for Overall Beauty Minerals going on. Visit I-Tryit.com to see their special and tell Kim send you!

They said such cool things about our mineral makeup line, I love it!

PureZing Review

Be honest! Don’t we all want the chance to just ‘play’ with eyeshadow and liner colors? Now you can do it affordability, and as these mineral eye shadows become eyeliners when they are wet… well, the number of looks that you can achieve is almost endless!

Overall Beauty’s Wish You Were Here Brown Eyeshadow/Liner is amaZing! A chocolate brown with gold undertones, this becomes a rich, deep gold liner when you wet it! Just a whisper of this during the day will turn heads with its hint of gold…and at night, you can be a smoky-eyed dramatic golden-brown wonder!

Pretty Eyes Gold Overall Beauty Mineral Eyeshadow/Liner is a really, really fun way to flirt with being a golden girl. A hint is so subtly gold that people will want to get closer to determine just what is so marvelous on your eyes! A heavier application and your eyelids shimmer in the light. Wet it, and use it as a liner and oh my, but the drama is so much fun!

Basic Black Overall Beauty Mineral Eyeshadow/Liner is a must-have! Smoke your eyes with it, line your eyes with it, it is the staple of every vixen and beauty maven throughout history! A little goes a long way, so use a small, fine brush to apply this. You’ll have this for a long time and use it a lot!

Coffee Lattee Overall Beauty Mineral Eyeshadow/Liner is a soft brown coffee color with just the right amount of cream. Yummy on everyone, this is a staple color all year long, and looks amazing with Plum Pizzaz or Black eyeliner. Of course, wet it, and this becomes its own eyeliner when you want that understated, monochromatic look.

Green Eyes Wonder Overall Beauty Mineral Eyeshadow/Liner will make them green with envy as it is sooo subtle and with an undertone of gold. This is not your great aunt’s green eyeshadow, but a sophisticated shade that will complement blue, hazel or brown eyes! Try is as a stunning and thin line of eyeliner above black!

Plum Pizzaz Overall Beauty Mineral Eyeshadow/Liner is a coppery, plummy-brown wonder of a color! Don’t tell, but we have even used this as a blush and it’s stunning! Put this in the crease of your lid, or right on your eyelid, line with it…and get comments and compliments on this unique and gorgeous color!

If you don’t think that this is the deal of the century, then you have got to know that the supplier is giving a special discount just to Pure Zing / i-tryit customers. ‘Try’ this Natural Selection and read the card that is attached to each eyeshadow to find out how you can get even further discounts! WOW!

Review Nature’s Minerals Eye Shadow by The Body Shop

This is right off The Body Shop USA website about their newest product.

Nature\'s Minerals™ Eye Color
New! Best if you want to: Accentuate your eyes with crease-resistant, blendable color that’s made from the earth’s purest minerals. Best for: suitable for sensitive skinHow it works:
  • Mediterranean clay is an absorbent mineral that helps bind make-up to skin for long-lasting coverage.
  • Mica adds luster and has light-diffusing particles to help disguise fine lines.
  • Dermatologist-tested with no added fillers, preservatives or fragrances.
Now my thoughts about their Nature’s Minerals:
Color: Bronze Umber (Soft Brown)

Color: Bronze Umber (Soft Brown)

This is the color I got to try out. A couple of weeks ago I got a email from one of the nice press people for The Body Shop. She asked if I would be interested in doing a review of their newest mineral makeup. I told her up front that I have my own line of mineral makeup but I am willing to have a open mind and test their out. And give my thoughts of the color, standing power and if it work best wet or dry.

I will be honest and tell you I LOVE The Body Shop bath and body products! Their body wash is one of the best, peach happens to be my favorite! I have done a review for The Body Shop before so I looked forward to doing another one for them.

I tested this color out three different ways on three different days. First off I found that it maybe thought of as a soft brown but with my blue eyes and pale skin with pink undertones, it shown more red that brown.

First day I wore it alone without my favorite eye makeup primer. I found for me personally it didn’t have the staying power I thought it would have. It didn’t last more than a few hours. I also felt that this color needs a black eye liner to really show it off.

Second day I wore it alone again only I used my favorite eye makeup primer FY… Eye by Benefit. That gave it more of a staying power, helping the mineral eye shadow color to last most of the day. Still felt it needed black eye liner.

Third day I tried with Overall Beauty Minerals in Camelot as the eye shadow base, with FY..Eye and I used it wet as eye liner. I decided this color is best wet as eye liner! It has more of a bronze look to it and it really made my blue eyes pop out. It lost its red undertones when wet. It makes a killer eye liner! I really like the packaging, the shifter is different being a net instead of the usual one with holes. That makes it easier to get eye shadow onto your makeup brush.

Overall I give it a 4 out of 5 because I feel being a The Body Shop product it would of had more staying power.  I would take it over their other regular pressed eye shadows any day though, because of color and just being overall  better product.

What are your thoughts of The Body Shop mineral makeup? Have you tried it yet?

Overall Beauty Minerals on Sale!

Looking for mineral eye shadows that are pure, natural never tested on animals? We have the colors for you! Right now today we are offering all our mineral makeup line by Overall Beauty on Sale!! From Silver to Storm to Plum Pizzaz, we have them all on Sale! In fact even our samples are on sale.. Mineral eye shadows are fun to play with, blend well and are long lasting. Our mineral makeup does not have any of these bad ingredients:

This list is from our article about Mineral Makeup and what you shouldn’t be finding in yours.

Here is a list of ingredients you should look for. These are known additives and fillers that saves the creator of the mineral makeup brand money, but may cause you problems.

  1. Talc (magnesium silicate), is a common filler, and can cause respiratory problems. Talc will dry your skin (think, what does baby talc do?).We are talking about the exact ingredient. It will also accentuate those fine lines and wrinkles you are trying to hide.

  2. Boron and bismuth oxychloride. Both are well known skin irritants and can cause itching, rashes, and cystic acne breakouts.

  3. There could be FD&C dyes, which can cause acne when used in a skin care item.

  4. Imidazolidinyl urea and diazolidinyl urea are not that well known, nor should they be used in a true pure mineral makeup. Being that mineral makeup is minerals, there is no real need for preservatives, which both of these are. They are the most commonly used preservatives, after parabens, and is also the primary cause of contact dermatitis.

  5. Parabens (methyl-, propyl-, butyl-, and ethylparabens) are used to extend the shelf life of beauty products. They have been know to cause allergic reactions and skin rashes for women.

Ever Wondered if Magic Lash Eyelash Enhancer Was Easy to Work With?

I was playing around in my bathroom the other day when I decided to ask my husband if he would mind taking a picture of me. In fact I have a whole series of pictures of me putting on mascara and then Magic Lash and then showing it off. In the image there is only one layer of mascara then Magic Lash and then mascara again. In case you like the eye shadow color, its called Coffee Latte and I will start offering it soon under Overall Beauty Minerals eye shadows. I am working on finding a way of putting the pictures all together so you can see just how simple it is to use. Smoky eyes are going to be big again this fall and into winter.. Don’t you want long lush lashes to go with it? It would only take a few minutes for you to layer on mascara, then magic lash and then another layer of mascara to create beautiful lashes. As always if yo decide to you would to buy Magic Lash to get your lashes looking great too, each other of Magic Lash comes with a sheet of our best secrets on how to work Magic Lash Eyelash Enhancer. There is a new article about Smoky Eyes and the Use of Eyeliner. You should check it out as well. Looking forward to helping you see for yourself that Magic Lash, maybe natural fibers but boy is it amazing at what it can do!!
