Alima Pure is fast becoming my favorite makeup. I totally dig the huge selection of colors they offer. I must have 97 samples of their eye shadow and a little goes a long way. I have fun playing with all of the colors and dressing my eyes up to match my mood. For me this is big. I’m a neutral girl at heart and generally pick something up to match my brown eyes. I’ve been trying to be daring and use more color and thankfully, I don’t have to sacrifice my health in order to do that. All of their makeup is free of chemicals and preservatives and are pigmented with mineral colors.
Now Alima Pure has put out their new spring eyeshadow collection and I have to say, I’m loving it! It makes me long for warmer spring weather and a cute spring outfit.
Get it: You can get your own samples (which are a great size and are rather inexpensive) directly from AlimaPure.com

I’m seriously turning into Kathy, and quickly. This winter has been very raw and dry for us. Something I don’t quite remember last winter, our first one back after living in California. We’re all feeling the pain of dry skin, and my lips have been no exception. Even my son has been becoming friends with lipbalm. I have at least 17 tubes of it in my handbag and I use every single one.
For Christmas, my husband surprised me with some Alima Pure nourishing lipbalm. What I love is that this lipbalm also comes tinted too.
I really love Alima Pure’s makeup. I ended up with tons of eyeshadow samples for Christmas, which I’ve been loving all of. But this lipbalm, I love, because not only has it been keeping my lips soft, it also adds a bit of color, which actually lasts, thanks to natural pigments. The light colors are great for a hint of color for daytime and the darker colors are great for going out. Use it as a base for your regular lip gloss or lipstick to keep your lips from drying out or just use it by itself. And because they’re just a regular tube of lipbalm, it’s not big and bulky, which means you can fit one, or 20 in your handbag.
Alima Pure has several shades of this product, along with all of their products. One of the many things I love about them.
Get it: You can order any of Alima Pure’s products, directly from their website.

This is my first real and true foray into mineral makeup. Sure I’ve bought makeup, but it was mainly the occasional lip gloss or something small. I have to admit, since my son was born, I’ve been going au naturel, and not because I’ve wanted to. Mainly it’s due to time, but it’s also a large in part due to the fact that I haven’t gotten around to replacing my old paraben laden makeup with something better for me. I figured it was better to just go without, rather than slather my old MAC studio fix on my face every day.
The thing about mineral makeup, is there’s really only a few brands out there that would pass our stringent ingredients list and Alima is one of them. Alima’s products are about as pure as they get. No artificial pigments or fragrances. And best of all, no preservatives. Just pure minerals. It’s great for people who have sensitive skin.
I tried out some of the loose powder foundation and some loose powder eye shadow. Because the sample was a little small, I have limited experience with the foundation, but what I’ve tried I’ve liked so far. It goes on evenly and smoothly. There are definite techniques to using mineral makeup as it’s a different texture than regular conventional makeup.
The eye shadows come in really great colors and a little bit goes a long way since it’s a loose powder. When I first put it on, I was kind of taken back by the sparkly of it, as I tend to be a matte girl for every day use. I kind of felt as if I was going out to do a show in Vegas. But it soon grew on me and I love it. It gives my eyes more depth. I definitely plan on getting more.
Kathy Weighs In
I’m a habitual mineral make up gal. While I absolutely HATE the mess of it, it works better for me than any liquid foundation has. My sensitive skin can tolerate it and it covers evenly without looking like I caked a layer on with a spatula. I don’t think I’ll ever go back to liquid, and now that there are a bevy of mineral lines that are natural I won’t have to.
I’ve been using Bare Minerals and really do like it, but the thing that I love about Alima is the color selection. With Bare Minerals you have to put yourself into one of only 3 shade groups. That has worked well for me since I fit into the niddle range pretty well, Alima has 60 shades, so no matter what color your skin is, there is a foundation combination to match it. I’ll be investing in this line for sure.
