Gift Guide: Everyday Minerals Eyeshadow and Blush (Review & Giveaway) CLOSED

"At Everyday Minerals, we are driven by the urge to help women feel beautiful by creating products that contain only the finest essential ingredients."
"Sustainability is our priority, as we are firmly committed to the goal of protecting and nurturing our natural resources. With a passionate diligence to positively impacting our environment, our high quality makeup and skincare is a reflection of our ideals. We practice local love, and source the finest natural ingredients from local farms while dreaming up our newest ultra-feminine shades."
Everyday Minerals is "a vegan line, offering high quality mineral makeup at a price affordable to all women."
A few things I really like about Everyday Minerals' products are they are "free of nanotechnology, carmine, dimethicone, fragrance, animal by products, bismuth oxychloride, silicone and lake dyes." When I have breakouts, I most often go back to my makeup for causing them, but since I have been using mineral makeup my complexion seems to be doing a lot better. I have not used mineral eyeshadow or blush before, so I was very excited to sample these products from Everyday Minerals.
I was given two samples of their eyeshadow, I Do Declare and Hot Chocolate. Both shades are very lovely. The I Do Declare is a coppery color that has a really nice shimmer to it. When I first used this eyeshadow, I didn't realize how little you needed, so through trial and error, I learned that a little goes a long way and I love it! After I apply the I Do Declare I have been using Everyday Minerals' Hot Chocolate, which is a pearlescent light tan/brown. It blends the I Do Declare so perfectly and last all day, without having to re-apply my makeup when I go out.
 I also received two blushes, Sprung! and Snuggle. The Sprung! really suites its name because it's more on the bright side. It's a nice pinkish "berry", as the Snuggle is more on the "peachy" beige side. They both have been really great to have depending on what look I am going for. If I want a more dramatic look, I use the Sprung!, if I feel like being more casual, but still want to look cute, I use Snuggle! Both products feel very smooth and light on my face, I always forget I even have makeup on.
