Shopping for Mineral Makeup
Did you know Affordable Mineral Makeup (TM) has a blog?
Recently there was an article called How to Shop for Mineral Makeup. The article gives some basic advice on what to look for in your mineral makeup. The very base of the article is that no two mineral makeups are alike.
I would like to add that no two skin types are alike. One women may be able to wear mineral makeup containing bismuth without any reactions while her sister may end up with a very red, itchy face upon contact. Knowledge is the power and knowledge about makeup ingredients could literally save your skin. Some cosmetic companies are using ingredients that are known skin irritants, linked to a variety of diseases or birth defects, even carcinogenic.
Oftentimes women disregard a makeup product completely after trying one brand.
"Well, Princess Minerals made me breakout, so I can't use mineral makeup."
I would recommend instead looking at the ingredients of the product. You may find that Princess Minerals is using a poison ivy powder in their foundation. Now, obviously you are not going to find poison ivy in your makeup, but some of the ingredients that companies are using are THAT ridiculous.
A few ingredients to be on the lookout for:
The biggest problem is that most cosmetics companies keep their ingredient lists secret. Not so with Affordable Mineral Makeup (TM). Our ingredients are fully listed on each product page.
Another resource available for checking how your current makeup measures up is the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics.

Super Duper Good Sale from AMM
This one is a great one! Buy one 5 gram sifter jar of your choice and get one FREE!
Hurry, there is still time to get your order before Christmas! Mineral makeup makes a great gift for girls of all ages. If you don't know what shade of foundation to choose, then pick a multi-purpose mineral. The multi-purpose minerals are great for eyeshadows, blushes and lips.
If you want to order foundation for yourself, check out the guide I wrote on choosing your mineral makeup foundation.
Here's how it works:
1. Put both jars in your cart, along with your other must have items (like the lip balms).
2. Put the code "sacrifice" into the coupon code section (no quotations).
3. Cart will automatically deduct $6.74 from your order (the cost of most 5g jars). Valid for one free jar.
4. You pay and your order will soon be shipped via Priority Mail!
A few words of advice, if you are wanting your order before Christmas and pay with PayPal, do NOT use the echeck option. Your order will not ship until the check clears and PayPal can take up to two weeks to do so.
Offer ends December 17, 2008, 11:59 p.m. So order now!
