When it comes to makeup, I definitely care more about quality than I do quantity. I have friends with cosmetic cases full of more makeup that they will ever be able to wear. I, on the other hand, keep a small assortment of quality makeup essentials that I use regularly. My makeup essentials now include mineral makeup by Monave.

My Thoughts
Monave was nice enough to send me an amazing selection of makeup to try. I was able to get some of my favorite makeup products: loose mineral foundation, setting powder(Seracite #4), Illuminizer semi-matte blush, and two liquid glosses.
I love using mineral makeup because it is natural, easy to apply, and just a little of it goes a long way. My complexion is fair and I have problem skin which is a terrible combination. The Monave mineral makeup foundation gave me enough coverage, without being cakey. It does not irritate my sensitive skin. Monave really cares about their customers and will help you find the colors that are right for you. They sent me two different colors of foundation to try, so I could find my perfect match. My Monave foundation is so easily and quickly applied with a brush, fitting perfectly into my busy lifestyle.
My skin is a bit oily. The translucent setting powder has done an amazing job of keeping my face shine free all day. It seems to actually absorb the oil, leaving a smooth, finished look.
I don’t like to go too crazy with blush. I prefer a very natural look from my makeup, so I chose the Monave illuminzer over traditional blush. The semi-matte Lilac Mist powder gives me a soft, natural glow on my cheeks. Like all mineral makeup, just a very small amount of this is needed.
Monave sent me one of their vegan lip glazes in color Autumn #83 and a liquid gloss in color Petticoat #164 to try out. I have always preferred lip gloss to lipstick, so I was really excited to get these. Both the lip glaze and lip gloss give my lips a silky, natural look. I really like both of the colors on me. They add a lot to my finished look, without being too dramatic. It’s a look that I can wear during the day and has enough sparkle to carry me into the night.
If you are already a fan of mineral makeup or if you are thinking of trying it for the first time, I highly recommend trying Monave. You can learn more about Monave Mineral Makeup or place an online order by visiting the Monave web site.
Disclosure: I received the above mentioned products in exchange for my honest opinion. All thoughts are 100% my own. No compensation was received.
I called MONAVE MINERAL COSMETICS for a couple of samples. The woman I spoke to told me she had a meeting in the middle of my order. I was going to pay for my samples. Long story short she never called me back and when I tried to call her and left a message, no return call. I was disappointed, because other companies were more then happy to help me. I WILL NEVER ORDER FROM MONAVE MINERAL COSMETICS. The makeup may be great, but customer service was terrible.
