Hydrating Face Cream with Hyaluronic Acid

A daily facial cream containing the super moisturizing properties of Hyaluronic Acid (HA). This is a naturally occurring product found in the sinovial joints of humans and animals.Our body produces an abundance of HA when young, but after 18-25 years of age gradually diminishes, with a 50% decrease by the age of 50. Hyaluronic Acid (HA) has excellent water retaining properties, visually it gives fullness to the face ("baby face") and when applied to skin, eases wrinkles, fine lines and smoothes the surface with a slight "plumping" action. Whether taken as a supplement or in a topical solution, the benefits are well documented. This velvety cream base contains a natural blend of 5 oils and exotic Mango and Shea Butter, to increase elasticity and ease dryness.

Ingredients: Aloe Vera Gel, Sodium Hyaluronate, Butyrospermum Parkii (SheaButter), Mangifera Indica (Mango Butter) Seed Oil, Olea Europaea (Olive) Oil, Prunus Dulcis (Almond) Oil, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil, Capric/Caprilic Triglycerides, Vegetable Glycerin, Stearic Acid, Glyceryl Stearate, Cetyl Alcohol, Aloe Barbadensis (Aloe) Leaf Juice, Tocopherol (Vitamin E), Cyclomethicone, Triethanolamine, EDTA

Shades are chosen randomly.

Monet versatile makeup

mvp Directions:

Eye Shadow ~ Use any color from the Monet Mineral's collection as eye shadow. Simply dip an eye shadow brush into the desired color and apply to your eyelids. Choose a lighter color as a highlighter to apply under the brow. Use a darker color in the crease as a shader.

Blush ~ Because Monet Minerals are so pure, the use of a blush brush will only waste your product. Instead, use cotton ball and lightly touch the tip into the desired color. Apply along the cheekbone and blend well.

Eye Liner ~ Dip your liner brush into water then wet applicator into the desired color. Mix the powder and water together on the back of your hand or in a separate container to create a creamy liquid liner. Dip the eyeliner brush into the liquid and carefully apply to the upper and/or lower lids, staying as close to the lashes as possible.

Lip Color ~ Dip your lip brush into your clear lip gloss/lip balm and then into the desired color. Apply the mix to your lips and blend well. Add more powder to deepen the color.

Nail Polish ~ Because our mvps contain no dye, you do not need to apply a base coat. Simply use clear nail polish and dip the brush into the desired color and paint onto nails. For a darker color, use more powder. You can also mix Monet Minerals into colored nail polish to change its tint.

Body Shimmer/Highlighter ~ Use a cotton ball and lightly touch it into the desired color. Dust the powder onto your shoulder, face, chest etc., for a healthy glow. Certain colors can also be used as bronzers.

Dry, the colors are natural and sheer, wet they are dramatic and more visible, so there are a multitude of possibilities.

Mini Line for teens

Made for young skin

Our Minis line is exclusive to Monet Minerals and has been specially formulated for young teenagers who are just starting to wear makeup. All of our shades are "Anywhere Powders" meaning they can be used safely on eyes, lips, cheeks and even nails (simply dip your clear nail polish wand into some minerals)!

The best part about our Minis is that you don't have to worry about harsh chemicals or fillers. Our makeup is actually good for your skin!

Currently we have 4 color groups Selena, Hannah, Demi & Sabrina.

Within those groups, there are three variations of each color; a regular version, a "lite" version and a sparkle version.

Currently, Hannah Sparkle is our most popular shade.

Lip Gloss

Addiction. is a soft balm and is almost too soft for the chapstick-like container we use. We also offer it in clear pots/jars.

This is not your typical lip balm and is really more like a thick lip gloss. For this reason, men don't like it for daytime use, but if they put it on before bed, they will wake up with the softest lips EVER! :)

Ingredients: Castor Seed Oil, Cetyl Stearyl Alcohol, Olive Fruit Oil, Beeswax, Hydrogenated Castor Oil, GlycineSoybean Lipids, Lauryl Laurate, Carnauba Wax, Candillia Wax, Flavoring Oil.

Sunless tan

Spring is here - Fake a tan!
Everyone loves a nice glow, but who wants to risk the harmful effects of the sun? I know we all (especially those of us in the midwest) are desperate to get rid of that Casper white color once the temperature is nice enough for shorts. But before you turn to a tanning bed or your nearest beach, try a mineral bronzer to give yourself a healthy glow.

I've tried bronzer before,
it made me look orange and/or dirty

This is very common of the bronzers we're used to, but mineral bronzers are natural and very forgiving. Plus, a lot has to do with how you apply your bronzer. It's not hard, but there are a few simple steps you must follow if you want a beautiful sun-kissed tan.

The secrets

First cleanse and gently exfoliate your skin as you normally do. Apply a moisturizer and wait 10-15 minutes before applying your makeup.

Apply your concealer and foundation as you normally would. Even if you are already tan and the bronzer matches your skin tone, I recommend using a veil under your bronzer to aid in oil absorption.

Once you're done with your foundation, use your kabuki brush or another big powder brush and apply a small amount of your bronzer to your brush.

Gently sweep the brush across your forehead, down the bridge of your nose and around the tip of your chin (like you are making the letter "U").

Add a bit more powder to your brush, making sure to tap off the extra and gently brush the bronzer down the hallows of your cheeks and then to the apples of your cheeks (you are basically making a soft outline of your face).

I also like to brush it across my eye lids and my neck and chest.

Set your bronzed look with a translucent or tan veil.

Other tips

If you apply too much, tap off the brush and blend until you remove the excess.

Don't stop at your face! You can use mineral bronzers on the rest of your body, too.

Skip the sweaty pantyhose and apply bronzer to your legs for a night on the town.

A light shimmer eye shadow and nude glossy lips top off a beautiful summer tan.
