Looking For Product Testers Part 2

My first Product Testing endeavour was such fun and a great success for all. Why everyone? Because I had enthusiastic people agreeing to have fun with mystery makeup jars simply labeled A, B & C with their ingredients, and all learned what was great about the products and what worked best for their skin type. All that was required was that you paid for your shipping cost ($2.50 US) and a short poll as to what jar you loved the best: A, B or C.

Enter phase 2.

Requirements:

A) Pay your own shipping - For instance, shipping for US residents is $2.50

B) Test both products

C) Return to mineralmagic.blogspot.com and comment on which product your liked best. There will be a poll to the right of this blog post. Simply click A or B.

That's it!

For this next exercise, it is all about skincare. Are you looking for the best that a micro-dermabrasion product can offer? How about a great head-to-toe skin detox/facial masque?

1) Micro-dermabrasion Face Masque- I created a facial mask by blending the crystals with other skin-loving ingredients. Aloe and shea butters, avocado, olive and grapeseed oils, and 100% pure, cosmetic clays.

2) Head To Toe Detox Clay Masque And Body Soak

Here is a head to toe clay mask for your skin, and a bath soak for your body!! When you mix the clay with distilled water (preferably), (one of the ingredients) expands like a SPONGE!! By the way - every ingredient is certified organic!

3) Included Facial Brush that you can use with both products.

Instructions will be mailed with your products.

You can find the listing for the product testing by clicking on the link http://www.mineralmagiccosmetics.com/ and look under 'samples' on my website then 'product testers'.

A Very Basic Mineral Makeup Recipe

If you would like to have a fun project for birthday parties or to just save money, here is a recipe to create your own mineral makeup.

This recipe will make enough makeup to fill a 30 gram jar at least three to four times over, depending on how bad you screw up! LOL!

What you will need:
3 Tablespoons of Titanium Dioxide
2 1/2 Teaspoons of Zinc Oxide
2 1/2 Teaspoons of Iron oxide pigment color of your choice(Start with small amounts and build to achieve the desired shade)
2 1/2 Teaspoons of Mica (choose either shimmer or plain) (Choose the pearl mica if you want a shimmer to your shadow, or the matte mica if you want a low luster)
A blender or mortar and pestle (A coffee grinder can also be used, but please reserve it just for cosmetics)
4 - 5 makeup sifter jars - 30 gram size
Mix the titanium and zinc oxide together in a large bowl or mortar. Slowly add the iron oxide pigments until you have the desired color you are looking for.

An example would be to mix red oxide and yellow oxide to get anywhere from a peach to a bright orange color, depending on how much pigment you add to your mixture. If you go too dark with your color and wish to lighten it, add more titanium dioxide.

*The key is to completely blend your pigments together.
Transfer your finished product into your sifter jars. Apply with a makeup brush.
All colors can be used for eyeliner, blush, nail polish and lip color as well, with blue and green being the only exception. Regulations prohibit the use of blue and green on your lip area.
Good luck!
