Review: Everyday Minerals Samples

A few months ago, I received my Everyday Mineral samples to try. This exciting line of mineral makeup looks and feels great and is very affordable, so I thought I'd share a quick review of each sample letting you know which products impressed and which ones disappointed.

My foundation shade turned out to be Cool-Fair, while the other shades (Soft Butter Peach and Golden-Fawn) were a little too dark for my skin. The coverage is light to medium, depending on whether or not you add layers, how many, and whether you use it wet or dry.

I loved both the matte and original glo finishes, especially the latter. It gave my face a subtle, gorgeous, warm glow that left my skin looking naturally radiant and healthy! The matte finish is great for those with oily skin or who are looking for a true non-shiny finish. In the future, I'd also like to try the intensive and semi-matte finishes.


The concealer in Intensive Fair is a truly wonderful concealer that covers my redness and under-eye imperfections easily, though not always completely. It blends well with my skintone while brightening my eye area significantly, which I love! I sometimes still prefer the complete coverage of a liquid concealer, but this product definitely beats out many of the traditional kinds I've tried before. I have yet to test it wet, but this might yield better coverage and results.


The blush in Pink Ribbon is a very pretty, soft shade of pink, but in my opinion contains far too much glitter and shimmer to look natural. I've never seen a blush with multi-colored glitter, but I think the effect is a little too bright and sparkly. Otherwise, a gorgeous blush shade for us fair-skinned girls! It barely showed up on my skin, but gave just enough hint of color to give me that beautiful flushed look. On medium to darker skin, however, I don't believe it will show up well.

Overall I had a very positive experience with my Everyday Minerals samples, and will definitely consider trying full sizes of their foundations, concealer, shadows, and a different shade of blush.
