A glance at my stash would reveal safe, neutral colors for eyeshadows - perfect for everyday wear, yes. But then, sometimes I still crave for that extra oomph for days when I want to get all glammed up.
A few days ago, I received these mineral eyeshadow samples from Virginia Olsen Minerals. I was
so drawn to these two jewel-toned shades: Jirbie (teal with gold
shimmer) and Winter Orchids (violet with silver shimmer). It's actually my first time to try mineral makeup in loose powder form, which takes a few practices to get used to, since I've been using compact eyeshadows since forever.
Virginia Olsen Minerals is 100% natural, without any parabens, bismuth, talc, and fragrances. None of those fillers that not only adds bulk to the makeup, but may also cause caking, creasing, skin irritation, rashes, and allergic reactions. The ultra-smooth texture of Virginia Olsen Minerals provides sheer, natural coverage.
It is weightless, long-wearing, water-resistant, and it provides
naturally high UVA and UVB protection (due to the zinc oxide and
titanium oxide).

Both shades remind me of peacock-inspired eye makeup. The smoky eye is a winter trend almost every
year, but this time, Vogue saw the look in new and interesting
color combinations. It was green, purple and bronze at Roberto Cavalli. This is the look I'm planning to achieve with the shades that I got.
We don't
have fall and winter here in the Philippines, but that won't stop us
beauty junkies from falling in love with the season's makeup trends, such as this fun and vibrant smoky eye look!
