Last weekend was the perfect time to stock up on Earthen Glow Minerals products as they had an amazing Buy One, Get One Free sale. I got back-ups of my summer shades Helena (Cover Me) and Janelle (Youthful Glow), then I got some other shades I felt would suit my skin color especially this winter. I got Cover Me foundations in Yuan Yuan and Sheena.
My EG mineral foundations. Deanna in the center was purchased a month ago so it was not a BOGO purchase. As you can see, Deanna is a lot lighter than Helena, so I mix the two in a 50-50 ratio to come up with a perfect winter shade for me. Yuan Yuan however might be my perfect winter shade as it is lighter than Helena but retains the same golden undertones as Helena. I tried Yuan Yuan today and although under natural light it looks a bit dark, it would definitely work because darkness wasn't that obvious. I am not so sure about Sheena though because even though it is lighter than Helena, it is noticeably lacking the yellow/golden undertones that I have, so I am thinking I can tweak it by adding Deanna. Anyways, I am positive these will still work out on my skintone as mineral foundation shades are very forgiving.
I also got full sizes of EG shadows during the sale. I received the shadow samples in baggies as freebies.
I love the colors I got. Kauai Kiwi is the perfect lime green with golden undertones, while Golden Brown is perfect to pair with KK on the crease or outer V. Golden Brown is a beautiful olive green with gorgeous gold undertones. Papaya and Beautiful are pretty colors that are perfect as lid colors or washes.
Anyways, I am very happy with my BOGO haul as EG is very kind and soothing on my combination skin, and doesn't look cakey or unnatural at all. I now have seven full size EG mineral foundations. I am glad these babies don't expire (as long as they are kept in a cool and dry place, and kept away from water/moisture). I have years to enjoy these foundations. ;-)
