Mineral makeup brands seem to be popping up all over. They're on every home shopping television show, have boutiques in the mall, and there's no shortage of choices in brands. Everyday Minerals, currently available only online, is one of those brands that demonstrates the amazing power of word-of-mouth. The woman-owned company has gone from small internet start-up to sensational premiere brand in hardly any time at all.
While Everyday Minerals boasts an extensive line, including skin care, soaps, makeup brushes, and a thorough line of mineral makeup, their lip gloss products stand out as one of the best on the market.
Key Ingredients
Everyday Minerals excels at making luxurious ingredients affordable for everyday use. Made with 100% natural ingredients, and entirely vegetarian and vegan friendly, the lip glosses are loaded with Cupuau Seed butter, and Blackberry Seed oil. Both packed with hydration for the lips, they are also full of antioxidants, which aid in keeping your lips soft and supple.
Lip Gloss Essentials
The lip gloss is available in twelve varying shades, including a light pearl shade to lighten any lip colors currently in your collection. The shades compliment a variety of skin tones and they come in a standard twist-up tube. They currently retail for $4.00 per tube, or you can pick six of your favorites and place them in a "Custom Kit," and pay only $18.00 for a considerable savings.
The Pros
- Ultra-hydrating formula that is lightweight without feeling sticky or gooey
- Provides a sheer wash of color that can be used on its own or layered with over lipsticks
- Retail price is significantly less than that of Everyday Minerals' competitors
- Vegetarian and vegan friendly
- Color lasts a long time after application
The Cons
- The lightweight formula tends to melt easily in warm weather or if in your pocket, which makes it somewhat messy to use from time-to-time
- The colors work for all skin tones, but the collection lacks darker shades, which those with darker skin tones may enjoy
- Labels tend to peel off easily, which poses an inconvenience for those who keep more than one color on hand
The Bottom Line
The lip gloss collection at Everyday Minerals provides a nice selection of colors for all skin tones, even though it lacks some of the deeper colors that some people prefer. They provide a sheer wash of color that is long lasting, ultra hydrating, and easy to apply. Rich in all natural ingredients, and vegan friendly, these lip glosses provide an earth-friendly alternative to their chemical-laden counterparts. Retailing at $4.00 each or six for $18.00, these lip glosses are an affordable steal in the beauty industry.
