Southern Magnolia Minerals Cosmetics Review & Giveaway





Someone once told me that the secret to wearing makeup is to make it look like you're not wearing any. I am very particular about my makeup. I don't want to look like a clown when I'm done applying it. I like the natural look, and I like to use products that are made as naturally as possible. That's why Southern Magnolia Minerals Cosmetics is the perfect makeup choice for me.







The kind folks over at SMM were nice enough to send me an assortment of products for my skin tone. The staff were so helpful. I am awful when it comes to choosing makeup, so they took a look at a few pictures and made recommendations for me. Their advice was right on. I LOVE these products, and I'm not an easy sell on makeup.  When I used the foundation, it hid those few pesky pimples that are hanging on from my teen  years. My skin tone was perfectly evened out, but I didn't look like a painted doll. The blush adds just a hint of color, but doesn't look overdone either. The eye shadows really have a way of making my eyes, which I consider my best feature, stand out and get attention. The combination of all the products makes for an elegant look that isn't to flashy. Just what I am looking for in makeup.




SMM cosmetics are made from 100% pure minerals which are all natural and safe. They feel like they are a natural extension of your own skin.  Their products contain no harsh chemical dyes. They don't clog pores or dry out your skin. They have different products suitable for all ages and skin types. Southern Magnolia Cosmetics is a wonderful, affordable alternative to department store brands. And of course, they are cruelty free!







Wouldn't you love to try out these amazing products for yourself? One lucky winner is going to receive a $25 gift certificate to use towards any item in their store.

Since I've never tried this make-up before, I'd want to try the trial kit first to get to know how to apply it and if it reacts to my skin oddly.
