Everyday Minerals

Everyday Minerals Eye Minerals are awesome! I love that they have colors available in matte, pearl and shimmer since most mineral makeup eye colors tend to be solely of the shimmery variety. While I do adore getting my glitter on, it's great that they have a matte option- a rarity in the world of mineral makeup. Particularly women "of a certain age" tend to have difficulty pulling off the sparklier eye since the light reflection can emphasize fine lines.
I like to use Pic Nic & Beach Towel together. The blue of Beach Towel really makes my eyes sparkle, and the creamy buttery Pic Nic as a highlighter really makes my eyes look a lot bigger. I love to use these with a liquid cat eye liner for a mod-ish go-go look.

Something else I love about these guys is their commitment to creating safe products.

FROM THEIR SITE:

PRODUCTS

Cruelty Free & Vegan

We do not conduct animal testing on any of our products. To show our dedication to Animals, we have signed on with Peta.org to make sure that we continue to produce our products to this high standard. Please note that Everyday Minerals and Everyday Naturals only offers vegan products.

Brushes

We are proud to offer vegan bamboo handle brushes. Our brushes are super soft, we invite you to compare the price and quality of our brushes to others – they are simply, amazing for makeup application. The brush handles are made from bamboo, which is a renewable source and vegan synthetic bristles.

 Nanotechnology
Everyday Minerals and Everyday Naturals products are free of nanotechnology, carmine, dimethicone, fragrance, animal by products, bismuth oxychloride, silicone and lake dyes. We are a vegan line and do not believe that the above ingredients should be included in any products.

Fresh Cosmetics

At Everyday Minerals, all of our products are handmade with love in small batches. Each product has a batch code on it, which tells the date of manufacture. To ensure freshness of our products we stock small quantities.
While mineral makeup is comprised of inert ingredients, we recommend storing your products in normal conditions and used within 2 years of purchase.

Discontinued Products

Everyday Minerals products are all natural. Sometimes that causes certain products to become unavailable or for inconsistencies in the colors or textures of our products. In cases where ingredients change or there is something about the ingredient that we no longer feel contributes to the health and safety of women around the world, we will discontinue it. For the well being of your Everyday Naturals Ecosystem sometimes pruning back on certain colors and products will be necessary.
Everyday Minerals will periodically replace less popular colors. If the product costs more to carry than it makes in the store we will consider replacing the color or discontinuing it outright.
Some colors in the collection are perennials and others are seasonal. Everyday Minerals always likes to reissue colors, so let us know what your favorites are! We’ll plant some seeds and watch them grow :)

Skin Sensitivities

While we source natural and vegan ingredients, everyone’s skin is different, we recommend a Skin Patch Test for any new product application. Simply test a little swatch of product on a small confined area of your skin, like the underside of your arm or the inside of your elbow. Leave on for 48 hours to make sure your skin is happy with the product. If you have sensitivities to the product, wash your skin with water and discontinue use.
We offer a Free Sample Kit to test your product out before you purchase the large size. Please check our ingredient list on the website and the ingredient list on the bottom of the product jar to ensure that the product ingredients are compatible for your skin.
We always suggest keeping clean and sanitary makeup tools and wash them once a week. We offer the finest Synthetic Brushes available that are naturally more sanitary.

Safe Cosmetics

They have a 0-10 rating system. Our company rates from 0 to 3, which is excellent!
Everyday Minerals will never use lake dyes, parabens, carmine, fragrances, bismuth oxychloride, and is 100% Vegan and Cruelty Free.
Where we separate ourselves from the other safe cosmetic brands is the excellent performance of our product. Our goal is to always produce safe and easy to use products, but most of all makes you look beautiful naturally!
