Looks Using Pure Anada and Earthen Glow Minerals

I have not posted FOTDs in ages! Anyways, pardon me if I forget some of the products that I used in these looks as some of these have been taken more than a week ago.

Anyways, I used Pure Anada and Earthen Glow Minerals, two of my latest discoveries in mineral makeup, and two of my best ones as well.


Here is a look using, I believe, either Adorned With Grace or Earthen Glow Minerals.


In this look I am positive I used Earthen Glow Minerals. Perfect match, don't you think?


On my eyes, I used The She Space shadows in Moonlight Whimsy, Lucifer's Chariot and Bella Diablo. I lined my eyes using my favorite liner ever - Almay liquid I-liner in Black. I love it because it is super easy to line my eyes with it. I have been using this brand since '04 and I just love how smoothly it glides on my lashline without smudging. I've been using this more often recently because I go to work much earlier now, and it is a bit time consuming for me to scrounge around for a fluidline and an eyeliner brush, pop the fluidline jar open, and all that stuff. I just unscrew the top of the liquid I-liner that also doubles as an applicator, and I get a great line within seconds.


In this look, I also used my favorite Almay liquid I-liner, but this time I used Brown. I used MAC Soft Ochre paint pot as base, MAC Corn shadestick on the lid, MAC Gold Mine shadow on top of Corn on lid, MAC Museum Bronze pigment on the crease and outer V, and Glamour Check! eyeshadow on the crease. I applied Femme Fi eyeshadow to highlight.

Aromaleigh Ultra Resolution Finishing Powder in Clear

MAC lipglass in White Magic


Here's a pic of girlfriends at a dinner at BJ's Pizza and Brewery for a double birthday celebration. I used Adorned With Grace Minerals in the morning, and when dusk came, I added one layer of Earthen Glow Minerals to touch up.


A hot, freshly-baked pizza-sized pizookie, otherwise known as the Pizookie Party Platter, BJ's famous dessert. It has four different kinds of cookies in that humongous platter, including white macadamia and chocolate chunk (yes, not chip but chunk!). It was SO huge that we thought we would never finish it. Really.


Aaarggh! It was soo good! Craving for some right now.

Shen- Hmm, you might want to try Flaxen Field, Soft Wheat, or Golden Harvest. I can do straight Flaxen Field. HTH!

Lorie- It was! I am still craving for some. ;-)

Nikki- thanks girl, but it's nowhere near flawless - but Aromaleigh URFP, my foundation, primer, and my glacial clay mud/masque surely made it look like it is. :)

charlotte- thanks! :)

You have top-notch reviews and are very knowledgeable. I highly respect your opinion. Which would you say is best over-all, for finish, for staying power, etc: Pure Ananda, Earthen Glow, Blusche, or Dreamworld. Actually, I'm looking for your favorite. I've tried dreamworld's luna formula and like that finish.
