Orchid Blue Cosmetics Review

I am a huge fan of mineral makeup and have been using it since the summer of 2006! Mineral makeup is the only makeup I wear. I no longer mess with liquid foundation or powder foundation that you would find at the store. Mineral makeup feels so light on my skin and allows my skin to breathe. My skin doesn’t feel dry when I apply it either, nor does it feel cakey or clog my pores. My skin looks and feels healthy when I use mineral makeup and I feel like my tone and texture is improving over time. Best of all, mineral makeup saves me money since a little goes a long way. You don’t need to cake on your foundation just to get great coverage. You don’t need to cake on your eye shadow or even worry about reapplying any of your makeup midday because mineral makeup lasts all day! Mineral makeup products also have less than 10 ingredients in them and I can pronounce them.

Orchid Blue Cosmetics offers a full range of products including foundation, blush, finishing veils, concealer, shadows, liners, lip gloss, brushes, and body glitter!  I think it’s worth mentioning that Orchid Blue Cosmetics lists their ingredients of all of their products, you may be surprised at how minimal the lists are.

When I found Orchid Blue Cosmetics on Facebook, I asked if I could review the product!  Shelly, the owner, was so kind to send me samples sizes of 6 eye shadows, foundation, and veil to play with!  I had so much fun experimenting with the 6 eye shadows: Windswept, Beach Daze, Fairytale Pink, Reflections, Tramp, and Crystal Ice!

Beach Daze
Fairytale Pink
Reflections
Tramp
Crystal Ice
As you can see, the colors I received are spectacular!  The pictures give you an idea of the color, but you really need to see them in person!  Mineral makeup eye shadows also have multiple uses, in addition to applying it dry, you can even add a few drops of water to your brush and dip it in your color to apply to your eyelids.

I have added her eye shadows to my rotation of colors to use with my mineral makeup.  The colors are so beautiful and go on so smooth.  The eye shadows don’t dry my skin or irritate my eyes.  I have even noticed that the eye shadows last through my Turbo Fire workouts which can range from 30 minutes to 55 minutes!  Turbo Fire makes me sweat like crazy too!  Can your makeup survive a sweaty workout?

You can purchase Orchid Blue Cosmetics online.  You can also find Orchid Blue Cosmetics on Facebook.

    I do like the concept of mineral make up. I don't wear make up much except when I'm going out to be social and don't want to scare the people I meet (lol). I am planning on trying mineral makeup out and seeing how it looks with my completion.
