Is your mineral makeup really mineral makeup at all? I found an interesting test for determining whether your mineral makeup is “true” mineral makeup — though the definition of that term is somewhat nebulous. Still, I figured I’d give it a shot with all my different mineral makeup, and got some revealing results for you guys! Check the below list for your mineral makeup and see how it performed.

Because I hold the misconception common to bloggers that every word that comes out of my mouth is interesting and important, I’ve started a series of YouTube videos called Video Makeup Diaries. The plan is to show you the makeup I wear and the beauty products I use each day and chat about ‘em. I made my first one today! Check it out:

Did you know that the sun can fade your hair color? Of course you did, you’re a smart little beauty and/or beach bunny. What you might not know is how to protect your haircolor from the sun’s rays — but luckily, L’Oreal has an answer for you with its EverPure UV Protect Spray.
One thing I loved about EverPure shampoo and conditioner was the scent, so I was happy to see they made sure to add the refreshing rosemary and mint to this product as well. Since the entire EverPure line is sulfate-free, you don’t have to worry about your hair becoming dry or damaged. The spray feels moisturizing when you first apply it — my only issue was that it felt a bit dry afterward.

Summer is over, but that doesn’t mean it’s too late to sport a healthy glow. With my legs already donning pale signs of the coming winter, I picked up L’Oréal’s new Luminous Bronzer Self-Tanning Lotion from their Sublime Bronze collection.
After using the Self-Tanning Mist from their Sublime Bronze collection, I swore I’d never use another non-airbrush self tanner again, but this one intrigued me with its promise of instant shimmer. It’s a tinted lotion that bronzes any pasty pallor in seconds — and they are NOT kidding about the shimmer. Wow. If you’re going for a natural, sun-kissed glow, you may be a little overwhelmed; however, I kinda dug the ultra-radiant look and found it perfect for a night out.

Cleanser, toner, daytime moisturizer, sunscreen, night cream…with all the products we’re supposed to be using for daily maintenance of our skin, grooming becomes a full-time job in itself. Luckily, there are time-saving products like L’Oreal Revitalift Deep-Set Wrinkle Repair Eye Cream, which comes with two eye area moisturizers: one formulated for morning and one for night!
The creme uses Pro-Retinol A technology to accelerate skin renewal for visibly smooth and revitalized skin and Fiber-Restoring Complex technology to help repair and rebuild skin’s fiber capital. What’s that you say? Didn’t know your skin had a fiber capital? Well, it does: the fiber capital is the support network essential for smooth and wrinkle free skin. With time it begins to collapse, and deep-set wrinkles appear.
The AM SPF Fiber Protection Gentle Hydrating Cream uses the Fiber-Restoring Complex to help repair broken skin fibers of the delicate eye area, while broad spectrum protection UVA/UVB SPF 15 helps prevent future damage. I enjoyed the silky, wearable feeling of the morning cream and saw an instant liveliness added to my sleepy eye area.

Need to fatten up your wimpy lashes? L’Oreal’s latest mascara Extra-Volume Collagen promises to do just that. According to L’Oreal, the mascara is infused with collagen and hyaluronic spheres that clings to and magnifies lashes for “12 times more impact”. (I guess that means your lashes are 12 times bigger – like the overall lash area? How do they measure impact? I’m confused.)
I tried this mascara and the first thing I’d like to note is the brush. It’s HUGE. Mammoth. My inner and outer lashes definitely suffer. On the plus side, the mascara itself has a glossy sheen to the finish that really seems to draw attention to my individual lashes. The buildable formula doesn’t irritate my sensitive eyes, flake or smudge.

I normally prefer sleek and polished coifs to the bedhead look — but the carefree, loose curls in the ads for Herbal Essences’ Tousle Me Softly line tempted me to join the other side. Who wouldn’t want these Gisele curls?
When going for the perfectly messy look, it’s important to avoid weighing your hair down with product. Luckily, the Tousle Me Softly shampoo and conditioner are light enough to give hair some styling juice without gunking it up. Plus, I really enjoyed the violet and pomegranate scent! (Pomegranate’s the new “it” food in beauty, you know.)
