Cover Girl Eye Shadow: I’ve always been a Revlon homie myself, but I’ll try anything especially if it’s really cheap in the process…or if someone gives it to me of course! I actually liked two of the colors in the kit and it didn’t break out my skin, (I really have to watch that).

The cosmetics business is a very competitive one. This allows women a great deal of choice when it comes to choosing cosmetics of all kinds but it also makes it hard for any makeup or beauty company to stay in business if they cannot offer something very special that appeals to a great many customers.

Sephora is one of the companies that got it all - and continues to get it - very right as they have become, in a relatively short space of time, on of the best known cosmetics retailers in the world. And as any make up maven will tell you free make up samples and free beauty products from Sephora are definitely the most popular offerings of all among those who keep a watch on the free beauty product samples that might be available for them to claim.

There are literally thousands of different mascara brands on the market; every cosmetic brand carries at least a few different options. And many of them are very good. However if you ask most makeup artists, actresses, models and other glamorous ladies they will almost all agree that the very best mascaras are not found at a high end beauty counter but right in the drug store, as those mascaras are made by Maybelline. A great reason why, if you can, you should try to score yourself Maybelline free samples of their legendary mascara offerings.

Getting those Beautiful Lashes the Maybelline Way

Let’s say that your great free makeup samples, including that great free mascara have arrived. Is there a better way to apply mascara, a way that will further enhance is dramatic ability to transform anyone's eyes from blah to beautiful? Well, according to many makeup artists yes there is.
Believe it or not, applying mascara the right way begins with the way you pull the wand out of the tube. This should be done in one fluid motion as 'pumping the wand up and down will introduce air into the tube leading to premature drying of the product.

Next, hold the mascara wand next to the underside of the upper eyelashes. Now move the wand upwards in zigzag motions towards the tip of the wand. If you want to add a little curl and even more definition, you should hold the mascara wand at an angle as you work. For even more drama, you can apply a second coat, but do try not to blink as the mascara dries, to avoid ending up with the dreaded 'panda eye' effect!

There is an ongoing disagreement between beauty experts over whether or not you should add mascara to the lower lashes as some feel it closes the eye in rather than opening it up. However, most women do prefer to add extra color to their lower lashes as well. To do so effectively use a much lighter hand than you do for the upper lashes and pull the wand down in a fluid motion to avoid smudges.

MAC cosmetics are some of the most popular among what you might call true 'fashionistas'. As the line was originally available to professionals only, it does have the reputation for being a makeup line that is superior to most of the 'drug store' brands (which may or may not be true but it is certainly the perception most people have.)

One of the newer offerings available from MAC is their Mineralize line, a line of mineral makeup offering a foundation alternative, blushes and eyeshadows. The MAC Mineralize Kit, which is available as a free cosmetic sample by mail, is a great introduction to this line of mineral cosmetics, as it features all three products in a single kit.

How to Apply Mineral Makeup

Once you have received your free sample makeup MAC Mineralize Kit, you will find that there is a certain procedure that should be followed when applying the products in order for them to look as good as they are designed to. The kit does come with the special kabuki brush you need to use the cosmetics properly; you just have to master the simple learning curve that comes along with its use.


To apply the mineral foundation you should always begin with a freshly cleansed and moisturized face. Dip the kabuki brush (which is shorter and deeper than a regular blush brush) into the mineral compound. Next, push the brush's bristles gently against the back of one of your hands to help disperse the powder into the brush. Tap away any excess.

Now begin applying the powder in a continuous circular motion, from the t zone outwards, almost like you are polishing your face. This produces the even color and finish that mineral foundations have become so well known for.

The process is similar for applying the blush, which in the MAC Mineralize Kit comes in a delicate pink shade that will adapt to flatter almost any skin tone perfectly as its ability to adapt to an individual's unique skin tone is another great advantage of mineral make up. Finally the eyeshadow is applied with a smaller, finer brush that is specially designed to help the minerals adhere gently to the delicate skin of the eyelids. The finished look is one that is polished and almost flawless and yet looks very natural, a very desirable look indeed!

There are those that think that wearing lip gloss is a very dated idea, more Seventies disco than modern millennial glam, but nothing could actually be further from the truth, as long as you choose the right product.
One great choice if you are willing to give lip gloss a try, either as a replacement for a conventional lipstick or as a finishing topcoat, are the range of lip glosses offered by Rimmel London, a cosmetics company known for their fashion forward, cutting edge products. Rimmel do, on occasion, offer a free beauty sample of their lipgloss offerings but why should you be interested in trying one out?

Mineral makeup has been around for a while now. When this rather different form of cosmetics first emerged it was an alternative to heavy, often less than natural looking foundations and powders. These days the scope of mineral makeup has expanded a great deal and led by BareMinerals, the pioneers of modern mineral based makeup, now includes eyeshadows, blushes and more. Thanks to various free makeup samples and beauty product samples more and more women are discovering this. But why should you take the time to try yet another beauty product?

The Benefits of Mineral Makeup

Walk into any drugstore and you will be faced with shelf after shelf of cosmetics to choose from and the choice only increases if you shop for makeup online! With so many different offerings available why should you consider trying minerals? There are many reasons.

 

Beauty products have a huge impact to consumers. As a matter of fact, boutiques and salons have been established all across the country. There are all sorts of products available. For the skin, there are moisturizers and lotions. For the eyes, there are eye liner and eye shadows. And for the lips there are lipsticks and lip stains.
Lipsticks and lip stains are two different products. Both products are used to add color to the lips. The main ingredients for lipsticks are wax, oils, pigments and emollients. Lip stains, on the other hand contains water or gel. Lip stains are available as a roll-on, gel with a sponge-tip applicator, or marker-like tube with color infused tip.

Easy to apply

Here are the three easy steps needed to get perfect looking lips:

• 1. Apply a thin layer of lip balm on your lips for moisture.
• 2. On top of the lip balm, smoothly apply Covergirl Outlast Lipstain. To get deeper and richer colors, one could apply several layers of lips stain. Because the lip stain is designed with a marker-like tip, it is easy to apply. You can outline your lips then fill in the inside. It is as simple as that.
• 3. Once satisfied with the shade, apply gloss.
