It’s no secret that we love Alima Pure’s Makeup. Not only is it great a mineral makeup, but they have A LOT of shades to choose from, which makes me happy. I tend to stick with the browns, but you know, sometimes, I like something a little more snazzy, and a lot of other mineral eyeshadow falls short of the mark. The best thing about Alima Pure is that they’ll send you samples for a fraction of the price. A sample of mineral foundation might only last you one or two uses, but the same size sample of their eye shadow will last you much much longer. I must have 20 sample colors that I’ve had for a while, just because I rotate them and a little goes a long way. I put a little bit of my favorite moisturizer on my lids to help the color last longer, since it is a loose powder and it lasts me all day.
Another great thing is that they’ve always got the latest hot colors with their seasonal collections. I was excited to get their new Stargazing collection, as it has all lovely neutral colors that go great with this summer’s styles.
Get it: You can order the gift collection directly from Alimapure.com. $2 from every sale will go towards the Global Fund for Women
Win it: We have one sample sized set of the Stargazing collection to give away.

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 received an Nvey Eco eye color palette from Statia for my birthday last year during our “make up greening” frenzy and have been using it ever since. Nvey Eco is a certified organic make up company that produces a wide range of cosmetics with high quality in mind. Not to mention their products are free of talc, parabens, preservatives, SLS, propylene glycol, gm’s (genetically modified), petroleum based ingredients and they don’t test on animals or use nano technology. That’s make up I can use without too much worry. But do they work? YES.
I really love the performance of Nvey Eco’s eye shadows… they have a nice range of color palettes and each palette comes with 5 shades that are coordinated to fit your style for day or night. I’ve abused the palette I own but the investment is worth it… it has a lot of miles left on it.
Nvey Eco also creates foundation, powder, blush, and lip colors and treatments. All for a top price but the products stand up to the challenge. I’ll be an Nvey Eco customer for sure. I’ve got my eye n eye shadow palette No. 5…
Get It: Buy their products on the Nvey Website, on Amazon or on SaffronRouge.com

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.
