So, I don't know who to thank for my latest Etsy obsession.
- It could be xsparkage for talking about Calypso Minerals or it could be...
- CourtCosmetics talking about Moon's Harvest or even...
- LePooke for the Anderson Soap Company
On top of Etsy, Everyday Minerals has really caught my eye. Since the first time I heard about the sample kit I wanted to give it a shot. I have NEVER worn mineral foundation/concealer/corrector ever but the concept has always seemed like a good one to m e. I ordered a sample kit 6 weeks ago and never received it. Now that did leave me a little peeved to say the least, and the fact that the company isn't helpful at all with regards to my problem doesn't help. After giving up on the sample kit I dove straight in and order the Super Custom Kit in which you get 12 full size items for $50 and that includes everything on the website. Now, since I didn't know what color to order for foundation I chose only one face color then ordered a sample kit (again) to try and figure out my color. The full size color I chose seemed like it would match but could also be mixed to match my skin.
All in all I ordered:
Super Custom Kit
- Angled Blush Brush
- Flat Top Brush
- Long Handled Kabuki
- Warm Medium Beige Summer (semi matte)
- New Car Smell Blush
- Sprung! Blush
- Apple Blush
- Salon Fun Blush
- All Smiles Blush
- Walkee Talkee Blush
- Peach color Corrector
- Kaolin Powder in sunlight
and:
2 large mixing jars
A small blush in Deep Wine
and Cosmetic Wipes
