So, today I got my package from Everyday Minerals that I ordered!
It actually got here pretty quick, I'm happy :)
I ordered quite a few things, and even got some free gifts too.
I decided to do an un-boxing post ( because I like them).
I think this will be a good reference post for people who are unsure about the item sizes.
I know I didn't really know how big anything was when I ordered, so hopefully you might get some useful info from this.

The brown cap is a small sized eyeshadow, while lilac caps are considered a small finishing powder and a small sized blush (2.5g).

The Oasis eyeshadow is very sparkley. I'd say its a light brown color; very pretty. The small size was $2.50.
The Star to Finish Fair was one of the free gifts. I think it's a little too light for me to use.
The Plum Dust blush is really nice. It's a pinky - mauvey color that works well with my skin tone (i'm Fair-Medium). The 2.5g size was $4.00.

This was the other free gift I received. It's a full sized pressed blush. I love the case! It's like a recycled cardboard lacquer thing ( I don't know how to describe it better than that :p)

The All Smiles pressed blush is a very light pink, even a little peachy like a light coral color. It's pretty, but I haven't tried it with foundation on ( I sampled it on my hand) so I don't know how this will look on my face. I like it though! This product isn't for sale on the website yet so I don't know the price.

This is the large sized foundation and retails for $12.00.

These are the cosmetic wet wipes. They only cost $3.75 and you get 80 of them. They smell nice and are organic, which is a big plus.

This is a great brush!!! It's the eyeshadow brush, which costs $5.00. I've been looking everywhere for a good quality brush and this is definitely one. It's also great for applying the powder eyeliner.

Overall It cost me $27 for the products and $5 for shipping, which is great for cosmetics. Hopefully you got an idea of how big all the products are and maybe you'll go order some for yourself. v(^__^)v

So, for quite a while now I've been searching for the perfect foundation.
I've tried powder foundation, semi-liquid foundation, and even liquid foundation - and none of them ever worked how I wanted them to.
But FINALLY, I have found it!
My perfect foundation!

It all started from a recommendation by Bubblesung at LJ.
She was the one that told me about Everyday Minerals, so I decided to give them a try.
They actually offer a free sample kit, which includes 3 foundation shades of your choice, one blush, and one concealer.
The guide on the website for choosing the foundations was really helpful and I actually ended up finding my perfect match! Yes!!!
I also ended up ordering a mineral eyeliner and a baby kabuki brush (which is on back order but will hopefully arrive soon).
The sample kit was free like it said, you only have to pay the shipping (like $4.00), the eyeliner was $2.50, and the brush was $6.00.
Overall, the prices are great.

But anyway, onto the makeup!
Like the brand name suggests, this is mineral makeup.
I've always wanted to try some, but it's always been so expensive so I never bothered.
The first time I put one of the foundations on, I was amazed.
It gave me coverage and evened out my skin without making it look like I was wearing any makeup!
My shade is Fair Medium, and it works great.
The blush I got its called B&B and its a bit orangey for me, but it doesn't look bad.
I actually mixed some of the foundation with it to lighten it up and it looks good :)
I really like the eyeliner as well.
Using as a powder or liquid is easy and the results are nice.
I haven't tried the concealer yet, but I will Monday when I get ready before class.
No use in wasting it when I'm not going anywhere Sunday :P
I will definitely be purchasing some more products from them soon.
I'm so happy to have found a foundation that works for me!
I really recommend them, 100%!
