So after ordering over 100 eye shadows and with my next delivery I'll be at 25 blushes I would like to review Earthen Glow Minerals' Blushes, Eye Shadows, Glows, and other things that I think are must tries not only for their quality but also for their value pricing.

 

Here's a review from a makeup artist who agrees with some of EGM's eye shadows and blushes being MAC dupes.  She loves them and their blushes too.

If you've ever used and loved MAC eye

 shadows and blushes then you'll find that many many of EGM's eye shadows and blushes are equivalent to MAC's in color, performance, and pigmentation depth!  I've noticed this with at least 10 of my eye shadows and probably more and at least 8 blushes.  They also have several NARS dupes but in my opinion with Earthen Glow MInerals' prices and personalized excellent customer service, as well as the natural content of their products they are definitely more than a must try for the bargain hunter but also a must try for anyone wanting premium quality, value priced, natural based cosmetics, skincare, or soap and bath and body. 

Not to belabor the point but....Their eye shadows are totally long lasting and pigmented to the max. Many of the colors are MAC dupes and so are many of the blush and glow colors. I can't tell the difference in performance of them either.

 

The eye shadow primer base is excellent! I like the gel/cream liner personally - it isn't gel at all but a cream and I like it because it doesn't smudge but you do need two coats for a dark black look. Also, if you want the texture and deep color of mac fluidline or l'oreal this isn't it but it is a really nice natural cream liner with good color that doesn't smudge and uses all natural ingredients, few of them, and is non irritating to the eyes!

I've read many reviews on the lipglosses and thankfull I've bought some from every line that they carry.  They carry over 50 probably close to 100.  I will say that my favorites are the lip pots - they are like lipsticks in a pot!  Very nice, long lasting and serious pigment and pop! I love Ponce de Leon which is a rich warm red. The mini lip wands are 2 varieties.  One is a glaze and these are very very flavored and light in texture.  Personally I love them and so has every young woman/girl that I've given them to.  I think that they may appeal more to a younger group but me being somewhere out there age wise - I will say that I found them ok just not quite pigmented enough for my tastes.  I do love applying ST Croix over lip liner or Bay Area lip pot!  Really beautiful duo!

 

 

Next is the mini lip wands which I hope they create more of these because I have all 5 and absolutely love love love them.  These really remind me of MAC's lip glass.  The colors and texture are great and last long and look beautiful.  I like how the prism/glitter looks on my lips so this works for me but if you want super smooth and sheer then in this line Lily or Cambridge may be where you'd like to look.

 

 

Their large lip wands are awesome and I hate that they are discontinuing online sales of these once sold out they will be available only through distributors and catalogue.  These were and are the first lip glosses made by a company other than BE that actually delivered variety in finish, color, and packed a powerful punch while doing so.  Peachtree, Pismo Beach, North Shore Drive and the list goes on all are my favorites so I'm buying several before they sell out online.  If you love vibrant color and gloss with shimmer go for North Shore Drive, Twin Cities - you won't be disappointed.

 

 

The lip brush tubes are my second favorite.  These babies are super liquid lipsticks that deliver long lasting super color easily and I love them.  Favorite - Manhattan - red and Cascades - wine.  Gorgeous!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The lip sqeezies- excellent!!!!  Color - rich.  Coverage - long lasting.  Texture - smooth. 

 

Finally looking good from head to toe with no reservations!  I'm wearing EGMinerals' Cover Me in Antoinette.  On my cheeks I have Essence blush.  On my lips I have High Tea, a beautiful soft mid tone rose with smooth gloss and pure color payoff!  Later I changed to FASHION  AFFAIR which is a gorgeous intense fushia and compatable I think with any skin tone.  But I really love love it for evening wear. On my eyelids I'l wearing Midnight over Cape Verde, a beautiful intense midnight blue eye shadow that definitley can double as a liner but for lining I'm using EGMINERAL's Black cream liner or Suka Jima.  To add drama since this was at major party that will be televised on Real Atlanta's Housewives I added EGMINERAL'S Glow in Perfection! 

Also I have to rave for EGminerals traditional body scrubs and butters.  I bought all 4 sets and each comes with a free soap.  I bough Italian Biscotti (yummy buttery vanilla cookie!)  Season's Finest (Spicey apple, orange, buttrey vanilla and some other scents yummy)  Holiday's Dessert Platter ( think of carrot cake , angel food, and I think either pumpkin or somehting with spice... just delicious and my husband adores all of these but my favorite is hands down GLAZE ( an absolutely scrumptious vanilla buttery light fruity and spice scent)  can''t tell but it is to die for!  This is my #1 and #2 is the other 3 tied!  These scrubs super soften and the butters are pure shea whipped with oil.  Nothing else other than frangrance.  Nothing but love here.

EGMINERALS is based in ATLANTA, GEORGIA and is run by several women and a man with the intent to provide quality beauty enhancing products for the face and body in though skin care, cosmetics, and bath and body items.
