Review of Beauty From The Earth Cosmetics

I have been ordering from BFTE for a couple months and have to say I am pleased with every single purchase I have made from them. They always ship faster than anyone else, if you place your order before noon it ships the same day and they aren't too far from me so I normally get my orders in 3 days if its not placed on a weekend! I have yet to use the foundation or blush but I absolutely love the mineral eye shadows. They blend so very well and stay put all day. A girl I work with is always asking me if I use cream eyeshadows because she says my eyeshadow always looks so creamy! Well its Beauty From The Earth Mineral shadows. I recently got into this whole mineral makeup thing, I've been a MAC advocate since I was 14, however when I discovered BFTE and the fact of the mineral makeup companies being natural, organic, and sometimes, vegan it intrigued me greatly because I like to eat organic food so why not use organic makeup? With it being natural micas and such I find that it irritates my eyes WAY less than any other of my makeup. I am a contact lens wearer and also have been experiencing itchy eyes from our lame weather here, and putting my makeup on in the mornings can sometimes be a challenge, however with my BFTE mineral shadows my are eyes are less prone to itching if it gets in my eye or just in general from wearing it all day! As I age my allergies just get worse and its nice to have something that doesn't provoke the problem. Another great thing about BFTE is their pricing! OMG!!!! I got like over 50 colors for just a little more than $100, how awesome is that? Almost all the mineral companies sell samples at reasonable prices but BFTE is one of the few that actually gives you a jar instead of a little baggie. And these little $2 samples go along way, I have yet to empty any of mine yet! Every sample they sell is only $2 where other places will normally charge just a bit more for samples of blush or foundation, but not BFTE! The full size jars are only $6.50 thats half of what I used to pay for my other makeup that will remain nameless. They always do free shipping on orders of $50 or more not to mention they do promotions quite often, such as now they are doing 20% off orders of $50 or more, which is an awesome deal if you ask me! They always have packaged my stuff really well I've never had something missing or had a problem, they are extremely reliable and have amazing products not to mention my first love for minerals, they will always have a place in m makeup bag! So needless to say would I order from Beauty From the Earth or better known as, BFTE???? YES!!!! I most definitely would order from them again, the website is a dream to navigate as well, which is a big plus for me if I find a website thats too hard to order from I will give up and look somewhere else, but BFTEs is very easy to use! Swatches to follow of my colors:

from left to right and top to bottom:
Juicy - $10 Pineapple - Lemon - Saturday Morning - Jazzy - Nani - Green Apple - Bitter - Bing - Bombshell - 1939 - Breeze - Caribbean - Blue Pacific - Blue Bird - Casablanca Nights - Big Ego - Grape - Whisper - Sugar plum - Orchid - Baby Girl - Victoria - Raspberry - Karma - Paris - Aloha - Classy - Fire Dance - Wicked - Girl Next Door (matte) - Chance - Yo momma (matte) - grassy (matte) - belle of the ball (matte) - playful (matte) - panurple (matte) - mellow yellow (matte) - Twisted (matte) - Cheeky (matte) - Whimsey - Misquoted - Gaze - Glimpse - Autumn - Wizards Wand - By Golly - Treason - Smoke - Black & White

Looks I did for a fairy contest

Its hard to tell but I had a lot of contouring and highlighting going on with some pear pigment, but my camera would not pick that up no matter what I did! I used liquid latex to stick on the gemstones.

This is the second look I did for the contest. I used al Beauty From the Earth mineral shadows, UD 24/7 liner in Yeyo, and craft glitter (lol)

And this was my last look I did for the contest. It was all BFTE minerals also and I drew the lines out first with yeyo from UD and then used a wet paintbrush to get the minerals stick. I used the white liner pencil under the minerals because using white under color always makes the color stand out more than it would alone.

My first Blog!!!

So I am kind of new to this...ahh who am I kidding I'm extremely NEW to this. I follow blogs but never have had my own! I got inspired to do this by other bloggers I follow. I just thought to myself I should do that, I love makeup and telling people about what's new and what I use or how I do it! So here I am, trying it on for size! Any requests, comments, or questions please drop me a line!
