Mia Mariu Review and Giveaway!

 

 

 

As I’ve said before, and it should be no real surprise, I have a love/hate relationship with makeup.

I love the dramatic way it can change a persons appearance entirely, but I hate that I’m rather clueless on what looks good on me and what to really do with it.

Now, this isn’t the first time I’ve been so lucky as to do a review of some Mia Mariu products. Let me be the first to admit that I love their products and am so happy to get to work with this company for reviews.

For those who don’t know Mia Mariu has Botanical Skin Care products, and Mineral Makeup.

This time around, I got to review the Perfecting Finish Mineral Primer (my first time actually trying a primer!), the Perfecting Finish Mineral Foundation in Vanilla, and the Hydrating Stick Gloss in Capricho!

Above is everything I got to try, three awesome products that I am now in love with! I never really understood what a primer was or what an astounding difference it could make in your makeup routine, but I am so glad to have this product now! I will never again put on a foundation without a primer under it!

Okay, I know I don’t look super happy in my before picture… but bear with me, I wasn’t looking so great and just couldn’t take a picture that I didn’t feel like I looked awful in. *hides* Sometimes, it takes an awful lot just to get the courage to post my picture online. Yeesh.

So above is absolutely nothing on my face, just me, myself and I. Sorry. 😛

I cheated just a little in this picture, since I already have the Mia Mariu mascara I have it on in this picture. But here is me with the primer, foundation, and stick gloss on top of that!

Now I wasn’t really sure about the color of the stick gloss when I first looked at it after getting it. It seemed a little too brown to me, but I actually like the result once it’s on!

This fantastic makeup is light weight, and felt amazing on my skin once everything was all done. I didn’t feel caked and gross like I have in makeup that I have bought before, this was smooth and exactly what I need in a makeup. I hate touching my face and feeling sticky or strange because of makeup, this doesn’t happen with the Mia Mariu foundation at all!

Now then, the fine folks at Mia Mariu are allowing me to do a giveaway of the products I review.

Now then, that doesn’t mean you need exactly the colors that I got. So you wont have to suffer with Vanilla foundation if you’re a darker shade and you wont be getting Capricho for your Stick Gloss if you don’t want to.

You’ll be getting the Primer, the Foundation of your choice, and the Stick Gloss in the color of your choice. Almost a $60 Value if you’re the winner! WOW!

This giveaway runs from 1/28/13 until 2/15/13!

Are you ready??
