I am in Self Magazine!

OK, so maybe I'm an issue off from tooting my own horn, which is NOT what I wanted to do. That is why I waited so long, I guess.

Self Magazine Contacted me requesting my brightest colors in a sample kit, then they told me I was in their December 08 issue. I was ecstatic.

Praising yourself, for me anyway, is kind of embarrassing, but it opened many doors. I wish all of you the same blessings that are staring to come into my life now and are continuing on as I press on towards even larger goals.

Youcan find me on page 66 of the December 08 issue.

Love and Laughter,

Kellie

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'.

Mineral Makeup 101 eBook CD Is Here!

I will also be offering a Mineral Makeup Starter Kit. This seven-piece starter kit is a fabulous way to introduce yourself to mineral makeup. It's packed with everything you need to achieve a radiant, flawless-looking face, including an instructional CD that explains precisely how to apply each product!

We all want to look our best and cover our 'flaws', but we seem to always fall short of those goals on some level. In my new eBook, you will find detailed information and instruction on how to look and feel your best. The first thing you need to do is start liking yourself. Once that happens, everything else will fall into place.

As I walk you through each chapter, there are plenty of photos throughout for you to discover the different shades and color options used to conceal and combinations of colors that you would never have dared to try on your skin before. The Tips And Tricks chapter will soon be your best friend!

You will also receive much needed enlightenment on the many ingredients found in mineral makeup on the market today and, in a separate section, I also include the ingredients that I personally use. In no time at all, when you go to look at the ingredients on a mineral makeup label, you will know exactly what you are reading and if it is good or bad for your skin.

At the end of the book, you'll find a full page of resources that I encourage you to read through, investigate and follow through with each point of reference.

There are 6 chapters and 38 pages in total that I burned onto a CD for you, so printed papers, if misplaced, or 'saved links' won't get lost, should your hard drive die.

This makes a fabulous gift for someone who wants to start their own skincare company, not only because the ingredient chapter is so extensive, but rather my book is extremely detailed and leaves no stone unturned.

Looking For Product Testers

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Are you willing to try three colors of mineral makeup?
In this exercise, I will be sending out three colors for you to try. Just look up. There they are. There are only 4 ingredients total, and are all-natural, pure minerals from the earth. Below are their names and a brief description of their use:

Iron Oxides are minerals that are used to create color.

Kaolin clay is great for dry sensitive skin because it is very soothing, offers great coverage, and is able to absorb oil from the skin. It absorbs 1 1/2 times its weight in oil!

Mica is transparent and allows for smooth makeup application.

Zinc Oxide is a skin healer, and water-resistant. It offers great SPF protection from the sun's harmful UVA/UVB rays. It is very soothing to the skin and helps heal acne.

NOTE: Not all of these ingredients are going to be used for all of the formulas. Some of the colors will have more or less of a certain ingredient, if any at all. Read your labels to determine which ingredients were used in each jar.

Each Jar will be labeled A, B or C.

This makeup is specifically formulated for ultra-sensitive skin. You will not have any burning, itching skin or runny, watering eyes.

Q. What Do I Have To Do To Participate?

A. Go to MineralMagicCosmetics.com. Once there, you will find a listing for Product Testing Participants. Simply add the listing to your cart which is free. The only thing you will have to pay is your shipping costs.

After you've tried everything, find the poll on this page, and click on the letter of the jar you liked the best. It's that simple.

Mineral Makeup is for external use only.

Lover Of Artisan Lampwork

I found an awesome jewelry designer who has a real eye for lampwork beads. Her name is Susan, and she is the creative genius at Cserpent.etsy.com.

Susan is a software engineer which allows her to be creative in a different way - writing code and fixing coding problems. Jewelry design is totally different, and gives her an additional creative outlet.

Custom jewelry design is very satisfying for Susan as she loves being able to create something that is just what the customer wanted, even though they didn't exactly know what they were truly looking for to begin with. She is also constantly amazed at how some designs create themselves and other designs are a struggle to get just right.
