News and Awesome

Whew! It has been a long time since the blog has been updated, hasn't it?

Just a quick update to let you all know that the website is currently down because we're launching a new webstore! We're super excited about it, but it's a huge bummer that the site is down. Cross your fingers; we're hoping to have it back up tonight!

In related news, our very new Roy G Biv collection is now available: six vibrant shades inspired by the colors of the rainbow. Check them out!

Tie the Knot: wedding-inspired eye & lip palette

Wedding Season is upon us! If you have a wedding in your future, you're going to love our latest product:

 

Tie the Knot is a gorgeous palette of three eyeshadows, one eyeliner, and a lipcolor. Slip the slim palette into your Maid of Honor's purse on the big day, or into your own on other days you want a soft, classic look.

What's inside:

Lipcolor: Honeymoon
A sheer, barely-there kiss of romantic color. Easy to apply with the included brush, and just sheer enough to not leave a stain on the many people you'll be kissing - from your grandma's cheek to your groom's lips.

Mineral Eyeliner: Garter
This eyeliner is a soft black that subtly enhances your eyes when smudged ever-so-slightly into the lash line. If you want something a little more sultry and dramatic, go ahead and wing it out! Everyone knows that you can't go wrong with a classic, black liner. To use: wet an angled eyeliner brush and swirl lightly on the surface of the makeup. Apply a narrow line to your lash line. Layer as needed for more drama.

Mineral Eyeshadow: Champagne
With subtle shimmer and maybe a few bubbles, Champagne is going to be your new go-to color. It's not very dramatic (unlike your future in-laws, amiright?) but hey, your wedding is about looking gorgeous, soft, and natural.

Mineral Eyeshadow: Bouquet
Bouquet is a soft pink with an *almost* iridescent peach sheen. This eyeshadow is a pleasant surprise when smudged into your crease, or a breathtakingly lovely whole-lid color.

 

Mineral Eyeshadow: Diamond Bling
You know that half the fun of your engagement and wedding is the rock on your left hand! Diamond Bling was designed to highlight your brow bone and bring light to your eyes. This color catches the light in photographs amazingly. Pro tip: I have even used a tiny bit of this as a highlighter over my blush for an extra dewy look. Try it out; you'll see!

Each palette includes two dual-sided brushes for easy application. It will come packaged in a lovely little box; perfect for gift giving or simply treating yourself.

 

Normally $25, Tie the Knot is on sale for $20 for a limited time!

Amazing Mineral Blush in Lotus

New!  Lavender colored blush made especially for Manda, blogger at Toxid Lotus.

Super sheer, slightly shimmery.  I'm not sure that I could pull off purple blush with my skin tone, but it looks amazing on some people!

Here it is, layered on heavily and *not* blended (to show how the color looks on skin)

Here it is, applied very sheerly and blended.  

If purple blush strikes your fancy, pick up a container here.

Featherweight Fantastic Foundation

We're so excited to finally share our collection of foundations!!

Bokeh Face Featherweight, Fantastic Foundation (say that five times fast) is exactly what you're looking for in an everyday makeup. Designed specifically for gals who are looking for a medium coverage, layerable, natural-looking formula. 

This powder is ultra-light and soft; it feels amazing and silky going on, and stays all day. Unlike some high-end mineral foundations, our formula never contains Bismuth Oxychloride, which can aggravate or cause cystic acne in some people. For those of you who have concerns about or sensitivities to talc, you can rest assured that this is talc-free as well. 

Unlike liquid foundation, mineral powders apply with a brush so blending is easy. It doesn't streak like liquid foundation can, and buffs into translucency (meaning you'll never have that ugly foundation line again!) For girls with dry skin (like myself), it's amazing because you can blend it right on top of your favorite facial moisturizer. For gals with oily skin, it's equally amazing because it's absorbent and eliminates shine. 

Most importantly, however: Featherweight Fantastic Foundation covers up your imperfections but doesn't look like a heavy, cakey makeup. You won't look like you're wearing makeup; you'll look like someone who doesn't *need* makeup.

This product comes in a full, 20-gram, sealed sifter jar. 

But, what if this color isn't right for me??
UGH, shopping for foundation is hard- I know firsthand! Being borderline albino, most every store bought foundation has been too dark for me. Therefore, if this doesn't work out for you, send it back in the original container for store credit or for an exchange (just pay for shipping). If you're between colors, let me know and I can blend them for you!

HOW TO USE:
Swirl brush in powder and tap off excess. Swish onto face, blending evenly... Repeat until you have the desired coverage. Remember, a little goes a long way!
