My Mineral Glitters Review

Quick View

Do you or someone you know wear mineral makeup? It can be pricey! I discovered My Mineral Glitters Online Store quite by accident and have been using the products since. This is not a huge site but the quality and pureness of the products sold on the site rival "the big guys" and prices are unbeatable. Just as an aside, the name used on the site is Joelle Bare Cosmetics to get away from the glitter connotation.

I always wanted to mess around with mineral makeup but the one company I knew so much about was just too expensive for my blood. I was doing some research into mineral makeup for an anti aging column I write elsewhere on the net and came across My Mineral Glitters (www.mymineralglitters.com). I was really surprised at the quality and price of all the products!

The Site

One thing that will hit you in the face is that there is music on the front page. It's jarring. I don't see a stop button so I mute my speakers until I get past that. After that, you will see the products for sale. Joelle, the owner, makes all the products you see and guarantees their ingredients.

There are kits, mineral foundations, concealers, blushes, setting powders, bronzers, eye shadows, lipsticks, eyeliners, mascara, creams, emu oils, toners, and brushes. All (except the brushes) are made by hand and come in a few sizes and also in bulk. Ingredients are displayed for each product and swatches are very close to the real thing.

The best part about this site are the prices! I couldn't get over how inexpensive most of the items were. I could afford to mess around with the makeup and not drop tons of cash. But don't let the prices fool you. The products are really good. I wear the blushes and lipsticks all the time and I often wear all mineral makeup, including eyeliner and mascara, which is really quite good.

The creams are all natural and well worth the cost. The Firm-a-Lift really firms and the emu oil does wonders for anyone's skin. The brushes are of the highest quality and guaranteed.

One other thing I like is that, if the foundation doesn't quite match your skin, Joelle will send you some deeper or lighter minerals to mix in for free until you get it right. Then you will know what you need the next time.

Shipping is a flat $5.00 and customer service couldn't be better. Because this isn't a huge factory but just a one woman operation, you get personalized, one on one service.

The site accepts PayPal as its primary method of payment but I believe you can also use a credit card to purchase.

My Experience

I met Joelle through my anti aging column and she supplied me with an amazing array of samples to try. Since, I have ordered three times, buying all the blushes, several eye shadows, the bronzer, lipsticks, mascara, eyeliner, and much more. The brushes, which are of the same quality as BE, are great and the creams are all natural and high quality.

What keeps me going back are the prices. They are as low as I have seen and, amazingly, the quality is as high as I have tried in mineral makeup. I use My Mineral Glitters' nighttime minerals in place of Rare Minerals, which cost $60.00 for a tiny amount. I get great much more for much less and get great results.

Everything is sent via USPS and comes quickly. The packaging is all by hand and quantities are very generous. Although I am still getting the hang of wearing mineral foundation, all the other products fit perfectly into my cosmetics routine.

Oh, and don't let the name fool you. The foundation is matte, not glittery and only a few eye shadows are glittery. I was worried at first but soon found out that the name "Mineral Glitters" was just that. It didn't reflect the products.

My Viewpoint of My Mineral Glitters

This is a great site to experiment with mineral makeup, night treatments, and all natural creams and scrubs. One person makes it all and you can go right to her with any issues you have. She has been wonderful to me and with me with my 1000 questions about how to wear the stuff.

If you want to try mineral products or are using them now but want a less expensive alternative, give My Mineral Glitters a try. I give the site 5 stars. I really enjoy the personal touch and the prices!
