My answers to a questionnaire inspired by Lilita’s Blog at ~ mineral makeup adventures ~, the post was called “Crazy month + Poll idea”. Here are my answers (in no particular order)

• What are your 5 favourite mineral makeup companies?
• What are your 2 favourite products from this company, which products are a “must-buy”? Do a mini review of each.
• Why is this company on your top 5 list?

#1 Everyday Minerals
My top 2 products are their foundation and their blushes.

• Foundation: I really like their original glo foundation. It goes on smooth, gives medium coverage and is glowy without being super shiny. This is my favourite mineral foundation, so far. I found a good match in cool medium (for summer, although it might be a tad too pink on me) and multitasking (for winter).
• Blush: Everyday minerals had some of the nicest blushes, not only so they give you lots of product (their blushes come in the same jars as their foundation), but the colours are gorgeous and they go on so subtle. My fave color is Email Me.

This mineral makeup company is on my top 5 list because of the value you get for your money. Their kits are such a great deal and they are always offering little specials and deals.

#2 Meow Cosmetics
My top 2 products are their Flawless Feline foundation and their Feliners.

• Foundation: I like Meow’s foundation, their flawless feline formula had good coverage, and is an excellent match to my skin-tone, if I could have Meow’s foundation colors with Lumiere’s formula I would have the Ultimate Holy Grail foundation. Unfortunately Meow’s foundation make me itch a little bit, and requires a primer to go on flawlessly. I haven’t tried their Pampered Puss formula yet, and I’m truly hoping that this formula will not make me itch. I have tried their Perfect Puss formula and found it does not offer very good coverage, it does make a good light foundation if you only need a little bit of coverage.
• Feliners: These eyeliners offer the perfect combo of color payoff and sparkles.

Meow is on my top 5 list because they have such a huge choice of foundation colour undertones, they also offer huge sizes of their foundation.

#3 Lumiere
My top 2 products are their synthetic brushes, and foundation.

• Brushes: These synthetic beauties are the softest brushes I have ever felt. They feel so amazing when applying makeup, my favourite brushes are the Kabuki and the 2 blush brushes from the 9pc kit.
• Foundation: Lumiere’s foundation has the nicest ingredient lists, Their Flawless Face foundation has amazing coverage, the only reason they aren’t my HG (yet) is because I still have not found my color match, Light/Med cool is too light on me, and Med Cool is too dark, Cool is too pink, and beige is too yellow.

Lumiere is on my top five list because, I just love their ingredient list (I wish, that I could find a match), they have a great selection of different products, they have the nicest brushes, their prices are reasonable, they offer free shipping, and they have amazing customer service. Every time that I have emailed them, I have received a response almost immediately.

Top 5 list to be continued…

Another sale to add to the Labor day list, Meow cosmetics is having a sale until Monday at midnight. Get 10% off of orders up to $20, 15% off orders $20-$50, and 20% of orders $50 and up. No coupons necessary.

note: please check with the companies themselves for details on all sales, deals and offers. I cannot guarantee the accuracy of this post concerning these offers, so please double check before ordering.

Oh boy, and what an incredible deal it is.

I am really excited to let everyone know that Lumiere is having another pre-buy cosmetic brush sale. You have the opportunity to buy these brushes before they are manufactured, and you get an incredible discount. This also means that you will be waiting much longer to receive your brush than if you were ordering from their current stock. But check out the prices you might be willing to wait for these amazing deals.

One standout of this sale is that you can purchase the Ultimate Professional Brush Collection for $149, that’s every brush offered in this pre-buy for a savings of $245. Please read the rules before ordering, as there are a few things different with ordering through the pre-buy as opposed to ordering from Lumiere’s current stock.

If you aren’t familiar with Lumiere’s cosmetic brushes, then you are missing out on what is arguably the best synthetic brushes you can buy (for the best price). Their kabuki brush is a favourite among mineral makeup addicts. I currently have the kabuki brush, it’s incredibly soft and keeps it’s shape after washing (no splaying of the hairs) and no shedding, I also have their 9pc set, also soft and great quality.

But I think that if you are looking to build up your makeup brush collection then this is the way to go, you can’t go wrong with these makeup brushes.

This pre-buy sale is on until October 31, 2007 and on a first-come first-serve basis.
