The Last of A Dying Breed

Some of you may probably know how much I am a fan of Valerie Beauty's minerals. I even showcased some of her beautiful colors from her last sale HERE. Some of Val's awesome colors are also in THIS ENTRY. She had her last sale last February 16th, and after that had to close indefinitely because she had to concentrate on her skin care studio, and we had been patiently waiting for her opening. A month ago she announced that she would no longer be selling minerals online (but she is still selling the Clarisonic line, skincare products and traditional cosmetics). Val simply doesn't have the time anymore since she is now a Reiki Master Teacher, and is finishing her studies to become a Certified Hypnotherapist, on top of being a certified aesthetician. I perfectly understand why she had to give up selling her awesome minerals online (they are available for purchase at her studio). I wish Val the best, but I am just a little sad that these ones I have are the last of a dying breed. I have scored this latest Val loot from a lady on a makeup board - brand new, sealed and intact - and I just love the colors. I rarely see this kind of top-notch mineral quality, so I am really sad to see the minerals go, but still happy for Val nonetheless.

Let's hear it one more time from her awesome minerals!







Color description from Val's site:

Bombshell - If you like MAC’s Paradisco, there’s a good chance you’ll like this! Peach tone with multiple hilights and fire that gives unique life to this color.
Shroom - taupe/mushroom color, with satin finish and shimmer
Fall - Shades of fall - green, brown, and gold
Vixen -a smokey grey black with a copper and green reflective quality (My take: looks very similar to Lumiere's Peppermint Patti)
Murky - deep gold brown
Hot Toddy - plumish brown
Gilty - goldish brown. Don't feel "guilty" for loving Gilty!
Cleavage - Sexy shimmering flesh
Bridezilla - pink with flecks of green sparkle
Devious - rich plum with brown tones
