The final product I trialled from the Everyday Minerals sample kit was the blush.

Everyday Minerals offer blushes in four categories: matte, sheen, shimmer and lucent.  I chose the Photo Album shade from the shimmer family of colours.

This is a very heavily pigmented blush.  My mistake, the first time I applied it, was using too much.  I ended up looking like a harlot working the corner.

Once I learnt to build up the product slowly, I fell totally in love with it.  The shimmer can be subtle or in your face, depending on how heavy handed you are.  I found that, during the day, it gave my cheeks a very natural glow and the shimmer highlighted my cheekbones, yet at night I was able to build it up to look like the sexiest vamp in town!

Best of all, I am able to use this product as a lip colour.  I just mixed a little of the pigment in with my lip gloss (in a separate mixing bowl of course), and it worked beautifully all day, giving my lips a glow that I just haven’t seen from other products.

Have you guys figured out yet that I am totally sold on Everyday Minerals?  Well, I am.  Out of all the mineral makeup products I’ve found, these guys have it totally nailed and sorted.

Pros: Lovely colour, doubles as a lip pigment

Cons: Very heavy pigment (although that could be more a problem relating to my application, rather than an inherent flaw in the product).
