I ordered some red glitter, Ruby Slipper. I wanted some to help with some ruby red lips that I keep imagining! Port Red and this glitter? Wowzers!
(l-r) Antique Lace, Promiscuous, Peach Champagne and Darling eye shadows. The first two I'm interested in using them as highlighters for the brow bone.
(l-r) Hi Ho Silver, Sour Apple, and Rococo. Not the silver I expected, but oh well.
Last but not least, MOON GLOW!!!! This was love at first site. I thought this was the highlighter that Rocketqueen uses, but I guess it's pretty similar. I was very anti-highlighter for a while, using only concealer. Since seeing this and using this.. ahhh the world is a different place! It looks a bit ashy here as it's a yellowish, cream color. It's almost a more refined version of MAC Dazzlelight (?) eye shadow of sorts. Use a #217 brush to apply= LOVE.
About the shadows: I like these shadows because they are finely milled, like most mineral shadows that I've used so far. The staying power is awesome, but of course I'd still use a base or wet them for more intensity. I look forward to purchasing more. I have to finish up going through her fotd's to find some more awesome colors to play with! [ETA] Also, Pure Luxe has an entire makeup line, but I wanted to try the shadows as an introduction to the line.
What you should know when ordering from many of these sites: most have great options to buy samples or a full jar, most will use paypal so be very specific if you have a shipping address different from your billing address. Put this info on the site's order form as well as paypal !!!
Next on the to buy list: Taylor Made Minerals, , Fyrinnae, The She Space, and Coastal Scents mica (TMM and Fyrinnae's website were driving me crazy, so no order just yet!)

I still haven't sampled Pure Luxe... believe it or not. I keep meaning to though. LOL. :P Rococo is gorgeous but I feel like I have that same color from another mineral company... knowing me... I probably do. LOL. :P I NEED Sour Apple... that color is HOT. I might place a piggie samples order with them this week. :)
ok this post has sealed the deal. I so need the sour apple and daring shadows. Thanks for sharing
I've been thinking about giving eye shadows another shot. I think this post just convinced me. :-)
@ christiana divine: really? no i can't believe it. you are like my mineral makeup consultant! LOL yeh check them out. rococo is very familiar.. cool name though ;)
@ slvrlips: no prob bob! i think you'll enjoy those shadows.
@ BGG: YAY! One person at a time. Is there any other information or things I can do to help in your shadow adventure?
Great colors! I really need the Sour Apple in my life...
yes suzie! a very nice color! imagine it applied wet or with a base?!
Aaah those look heavenly honey! Glad you like em!
I use Fyrinnae Shinkirou for highlighting, but Moon Glow looks just as nice!!! Gorgeous on you!
thanks rocketqueen! i'll be ordering from fyrinnae soon!
I really like Moon Glow! I'd put it it some moisturizer and use it like Benefit's Moon Glow.
pretty colors indeed.

for some reason i'm scared to venture into all the mineral makeup...i always think they look gorgeous but im so used to working with pressed eyeshadows...i need to get over that fear now! cuz i am all over those colors!
@ mandypandy: thanks for reminding me of that genius idea. i'll have to try it when i get more!
@ pjd: thanks!
@ makeupbyrenren: yes you have to try them! and so much cheaper!!
Honestly, the color payoff for those are just amazing. I need to start venturing in mineral eye shadows....I'm just so lazy. Ordering online drives me nuts because I always want my products ASAP.
Here's an idea -
Why not blog about really sensitive skin - which hypoallergenic products are best and what to avoid - Beauty without the sting
Almay is always good but when eczema flares up its time for something serious thats when I fall back on exederm cream and cleanser
www.exederm.com
@ divine blackness: i actually love it! i send off for something the anticipation/i forget lol and something shows up at my door in about 3 days! awesome! yeh check out the sites...
@ caitmin: thanks.. good idea. i need to read medical reports on exederm, since i don't necessarily have sensitive skin.
