October 22, 2009 By 3 Comments

Stript LogoStript Mineral Makeup is a natural make-up line that is comparable to Bare Escentuals.  Stript Mineral Makeup is 100% Paraben Free and is also Vegan.  The following is some information about Stript:

TALC-FREE NATURAL MINERALS Stript ingredients are pharmaceutical grade and provide sheer to full camouflage coverage. Shades blend with virtually every skin tone and offer non-greasy, water resistant physical sun protection and a line-minimizing, soft-focus optical effect with no chalky appearance.

ARTIFICIAL FRAGRANCE-FREE All-natural fragrances such as Vanilla Bean Extract and Sweet Almond Blossom add a light scent to Stript products.

ARTISTIC VERSATILITY Stript marine minerals can be blended with water or moisturizer to create long-wearing liquid mineral formulas.

ECO-FRIENDLY PACKAGING Stript products are packaged in recyclable plastic containers. Our unit cartons contain recycled and post consumer materials and are printed with soy ink. Stript applicators have wooden handles made from sustainable forestry trees. We also use biodegradable packing materials.

FAIR TRADE Stript advocates standards for equitable international labor practices and strives to obtain ingredients from fair trade sources.

CAUSE MARKETED Stript supports numerous charities including ASPCA, Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation and St. Judes Children’s Research Hospital.

We LOVE Stript for their packaging and the products!  Their Kabuki brushes are incredible.  Also check out their Face Makeup, Lip Makeup and Eye Makeup.

“What foundation shade am I?”

June 30, 2009 By Leave a Comment

Yesterday, we told you about Bare Escentuals’ new Refillable Portable Rebuffing Brush. So you’ve got the means to apply your award winning BareMinerals foundation, but how do you know which shade is right for you?  With fifteen different foundation shades, Bare Escentuals makes sure that there is a perfect color for everyone.

To help choose your shade, you must determine two things:

  • What shade family is my skin in?  Choose from five – light, medium, medium tan, dark, and deep.
  • What undertones does my skin have?  Choose from three: cool (rosy/pinkish skin), golden (typically skins that have olive tints), or neural (a mix of theo other two)

Say goodbye to messy mineral makeup

June 29, 2009 By 2 Comments

Mineral Makeup On the Go!

46576_brsh_refillablebuffing_d2We adore everything Bare Escentuals, but one small gripe we have with mineral makeup in general is that it can be sooo messy!  For a woman on-the-go, (aren’t we all?) there just isn’t always time to clean up the powdery mess that can result from it.

The great thing about a small company like BareEscentuals is that they actually listen to their customer’s concerns and take it to heart.  As a result, they invented the new BareMinerals Refillable Buffing Brush.  It’s a 4″ portable makeup brush that you fill with your favorite mineral foundation, blush, or mineral veil!  Not only will this keep your BareMinerals makeup clean and mess free, but now you can take it with you wherever you go!  They call it “portable perfection.”  We call it genius.
