Welcome back! If you would like to comment, please register and give us your thoughts about articles on Basic Mineral Makeup. Thanks for visiting again!
There are many great product lines featuring mineral makeup, but really, there are very few that are truly pure minerals and nothing else…like Affordable Mineral Makeup. Our company has been around for almost five years providing pure minerals makeup that contain only minerals and nothing that you don’t need…no harmful or toxic ingredients. We are not a giant corporation with huge expenses and jets and fleets of trucks…we provide our high quality pure mineral makeup direct to you at really great prices…no advertising hype or multinational brand campaigns…just great, pure minerals at really affordable prices.
Over the years we have done several promotions with even greater savings on our already affordable mineral makeup. Recently, we started a promotional email that goes out to our customers to let them know about special offers and occasionally exclusive email-only offers…you can subscribe to the email here.
The bottom line answer about saving money? Imagine using a product you like for years…maybe you purchase it twice a month…and you already save by buying it from us instead of the giant conglomerates…that’s money you saved to get the same quality mineral makeup!
Do you want to look healthy and naturally beautiful while saving money or spend too much for virtually the same products by the big corporations? Makeup your mind to be gorgeous! Why not…and SAVE!

Making your own decisions or falling for the hype? We are bombarded everyday by the hype and fluff of big budget advertising and marketing campaigns for just about every product we buy…including mineral makeup.
There is so much of it that it’s hard to tell what we should really pay attention to…which is actually just what the hype is designed to do. The Affordable Mineral Makeup Company doesn’t have big budget advertising and marketing campaigns, but it wouldn’t matter if they did…they just say it like it is: they recommend using personal care and makeup products with no unnecessary, harmful or toxic ingredients…only healthy, pure ingredients and none that you don’t need…and that’s exactly what you get with pure mineral makeup from Affordable Mineral Makeup.
It’s easy at any age to be lulled into a trance by the promises of sexy, glamorous, Hollywood looks by using the ‘purest’ or ‘most refined’ makeup products…but read the labels…make sure you know exactly what you are getting for the extra money you are paying for all that marketing and advertising hype.
Now are you making your decisions to buy pure minerals based on the hype of international companies, or are you doing your research and making your own decisions? Makeup!! Your Mind!

Swollowing Ox blood to improve your complexion? Burnt matches used to darken eyelids? Not so bad when you consider this next one…using the urine of young boys to fade freckles? And how about this? Queen Victoria hated makeup and associated it with prostitutes and felt it was vulgar for upper class society. She did however say that it was alright to use if you were an actor. Well golly gee and thanks Victoria.
Women have used cosmetics for thousands of years to enhance their looks. In the old testament Jezebel painted her eyelids and probably used minerals since Macy’s was probably not in the neighborhood. Even the book of Esther describes beauty treatments. And even today we call someone a Jezebel if she is overly made up.
If you’ve been reading my posts, you know how strongly I feel about using personal care products without all of the harmful, toxic, unregulated ingredients found in so many of them. Researching the history of cosmetics and what women once used…weird just doesn’t quite cover it.
Can you imagine what women had to do to get some color on their faces? Today we just shop on the web and get gorgeous mineral makeup delivered right to our mailboxes. Try doing that with an ox! We, like in the days of old, have pure pure minerals to offer. You should check us out. and be gorgeous! Jezebels, indeed!

I am confused…we makeup after a fight, right? This is a good thing…
If we get rained out we do a makeup game, right? This is a good thing…
If we’re absent we have a makeup test, right? This could be a good thing…
Don’t we makeup our bed? This might be a good thing…
Don’t we make up stories? Uhhh…maybe a good thing…
And don’t we apply makeup?
None of these things are bad for us…right? Wait a second…makeup? How really weird that this word can have so many implications. I love it! Many cosmetic companies just keep putting chemicals in their products…so there is bad makeup and good makeup. I want to make (it) up to the whole world by letting you know there are good places to buy good, healthy and safe makeup. For real. Honest. Truly, and I am not making this up! Check out Affordable Mineral Makeup. The company that cares about you. Really.

Well, we’re off and running with our plans to make Affordable Mineral Makeup the best mineral makeup company possible for everyone. There are numerous things happening behind the scenes as well as the visible changes like the little ‘face lift’ we’re giving our website properties.
As always, I welcome your comments here or on Affordable Mineral Makeup. Reading my articles will hopefully give you some idea of how passionate I am about business and health and doing no harm to animals.
It is my intent to continue building on the great business model of Affordable Mineral Makeup and extend the business potential it represents. For example, we are very excited to have Brett Bizick, our ‘makeup artist to the stars’ working with us to provide his tips and techniques…read more about his background on Affordable Mineral Makeup.
I believe we can all make a difference when we do the things we believe in and are passionate about. This is one of the reasons I decided to purchase the Affordable Mineral Makeup Company…I am passionate about leveraging the hidden potential of a good business model…and even more so when the products contribute to your natural beauty in healthy ways…and no animals are harmed in the making of the products!
And I’m just as passionate about supporting the efforts to make cosmetics safer for us…it’s one of the reasons I chose to own this company…to provide healthy, natural mineral makeup to women of all ages for a safer and beautiful new you…now please watch The Story of Cosmetics video and join the cause.

You got that right, teenage girls are not paying the mortgage. So what are they doing with their money? They buy clothes and makeup.
Do they know that the makeup they buy is loaded with chemicals and toxins? No, they don’t. So we need to tell them. Maybe the years and years of using these toxic makeups have contributed to our suffering breast cancer and other not so pleasant ailments. We need to be asking teens, no begging them, to stop putting toxins into their bodies. How do we get the word out? How do we protect them? It is astonishingly vile that cosmetic companies actually use harmful ingredients. It is so beyond the boundaries of doing the right thing.
Get your teenager to start using chemical free makeup. Start right here…have them watch The Story of Cosmetics…it’s an important message that everyone should see. Affordable Mineral Makeup is putting together a place on our site just for teenagers. We will have an educated teen spokesperson to help spread the word to teenagers. Enough of letting these big cosmetics companies sweet talk us while offering a poisoned apple. Enough. Enough. Enough.

Well today being a rainy day, hmmm, what could I do to amuse myself? I got it! Yep, I will play with the make up. Smokey eyes? Pixie eyes? Innocent eyes? Not so innocent eyes? My poor face is red from cleaning off and reapplying. A little shimmer, not much, just a little from the Metallic Rose blush. Great color. Seriously, it is absolutely like being a kid in a candy store. Some of the colors did not work well with my skin tones and I think I scared my cat when I put on too much green concealer. So glad I bought this mineral makeup company instead of a company that sells widgets. After all, what are widgets anyway? And do I need one? And do they come in colors?
