Happy Saturday Ladies!

What are you up to this weekend? Isn’t it quite impressive how the weeks are flying by? I’ve been mostly working my butt off over the week, pulling late nights and such, but I’m quite happy because a lot of important work got done 🙂 Oh and I’m also thrilled at the overwhelming response to the Celebrate October giveaway!

Now that the boring bit’s over, here are some new things that have popped up recently that you might like to take a look at.

LovingMinerals.com Turns 1 with a Birthday Sale!

Paris B 8 Comments

A year ago when LovingMinerals.com opened their virtual doors to the public, mineral makeup was the exception rather than the norm. But they have since made mineral makeup and some really high quality products accessible to the Malaysian and Singaporean market for which I’m pleased. Where else could I have gotten my Everyday Minerals Flat Top brush and Handy Kabuki from? And not to mention the Lumiere Concealer – I’d had my Lumiere Cosmetics order go missing once so I’d much rather deal with local sellers now.

Anyway, by way of a Thank You, Lovingminerals.com will be having loads of specials starting from today 15 October 2009. Just click the ONE Specials and shop away. Here’s whats on offer:-

There will be different promotions on different days which makes it all really exciting. The only problem will be to hit the RM100 treshold to get free shipping! So I guess that’s where your friends come in 🙂

There is also an ongoing birthday sale on the site for big discounts off full size items. While mineral makeup isn’t quite my cup of char some of those colours are really tempting me.

Enjoy shopping and do share what you got! 🙂

LovingMinerals Handy Kabuki – A pretty handy little tool!

Paris B 14 Comments

I was pleasantly surprised to know that local mineral makeup distributor LovingMinerals.com has designed their own kabuki brush aptly named Handy Kabuki! Unlike the normal short handled kabuki brushes, I found the brush head slightly less compact and dense – and that is a GOOD thing!

You see, a slightly more pliable brush head means that it will not apply powder as thickly as a regular dense kabuki brush, and it can be applied towards a myriad of uses. I can use this one Handy Kabuki to do my whole face! Let me tell you how 🙂

Handy Kabuki for powder foundation

If you use mineral powder foundation, this operates the same way as the regular kabuki brush. You swirl the powder, apply and buff it into your skin.

If you use a kabuki brush for compact powder (as I do) you do the same, swipe the powder, apply and blend.

The Handy Kabuki applies powder with sufficient coverage yet not too thickly so you don’t end up with blotchy powder coverage. Blending is a breeze because its so soft on the skin. The brush head feels about as soft as the Everyday Minerals long handled kabuki but at the same time, feels slightly more substantial. I found that my EDM flat top brush has started splaying which is starting to bug me.
