We found this great company called Honeypie Minerals. These guys make great mineral products which are
paraben free, cruelty free (which is super awesome in our books) and environmentally friendly. They were kind enough to send us some samples of their products for us to try out and tell you guys what we think. So lets just jump in!
Honeypie Mineral Foundations- £11.99
The consistency of these foundations is really nice. We found that they were really buildable, up to creating an almost full cover look. They felt really light weight on the skin as well and would be great for anyone with very oily skin that finds it hard to deal with liquid foundations (girls we feel your pain!). These foundations would also be great for adding more coverage over your normal foundation (let's face it, sometimes we all need a little more coverage, darn you bad skin days!!!). Another great thing about these foundations is that they don't contain ingredients such as talc that can cause skin to break out. We used Real Techniques buffing brush to apply this and it did the trick! Unfortunately these colours didn't really suit our skin tones but we will be the first to admit that we find it hard to find a colour in any foundation that matches us perfectly (Gemma is whiter than a ghost for one thing!). However these foundations come in 15 different shades and they even have sample foundation packs for 49p so that you can try out a load of shades before choosing the right colour for you (an awesome idea or what?).
Eye Shadow in the colour Mushroom - £4.99
We were super excited to try the eyeshadows, if you don't already know we are serious eyeshadow collectors! This shadow in Grey is really gorgeous and is matte which means it is perfect for a casual, work appropriate smokey eye! It might not look like it in these pictures, but the little packets we received hold a serious amount of product and they are going to last us ages!
Eye Shadow in the colour Plum - £4.99
This eye shadow is really great. The pigmentation is fantastic and it doesn't crease on the eye. This is a matte shadow and doesn't contain any shimmer. We have been loving wearing this in the outer corner of the lid to deepen up our look and add a pinch of colour. The shadow itself is more a subtle brownie purple colour which we think would look great with any skin tone. It would be great for any winter look either in the crease, outer corner or all over the lid for a vampy nighttime look.
Blusher in the colour Peach - £5.99
This blusher is so pretty and summery! It really suited Gem's skin tone, whiter than white incase you've forgotten, and gave her a gorgeous healthy glow! We emptied the packet into an empty jar and used our Seventeen blusher brush to apply it over the apples of our cheeks!
Overall the Honeypie Mineral Makeup is pretty good! Aside from slight skin tone issues, the products we got were fantastic and for those prices, you really can't argue! The consistency and buildable nature of all the powders is prefect for natural, "no makeup" makeup looks and the eyeshadows are seriously amazing, our favourites by far! Plus the makeup is free from most of that nasty chemical stuff that's in a lot of other brands!
Thanks Honeypie Minerals for the makeup!
