Organizing MMU part 2

Here’s how I organize my MMU stashes at home,


I place some on my train case,. On the left compartment are the blushes,. The right are the foundies and finpow while at the bottom are the eye shadows and zip lock baggies..


On my table counter are the MMUs I always use like powder primers, silicon primer foundies, finpows, blushes ES, brushes and Everyday Mineral (EDM) full size jars which do not fit my blushes compartment





Organizing MMU part1..

I’ve always read that some gals are hesitant on switching to Mineral make-up (MMU) coz its messy on bag,. I say why bring them with you,. If you’re a student leave some on your locker room, if you’re already working have a kikay kit in you drawer.. MMU stays anyway, you might just wanna retouch once otherwise it tends to cake,.. so here’s how I organize my MMU.. At the office … I’ve four पौचेस


The make-kit I bought from MAD Minerals
contains the foundie, finpow and ES..


XOXO pouch more ES and Blushes (All MMU)..


Mesh Bag… some more MMU and non-MMU like uber chead fashion21 stick eyeshadow and nichido girts night out lining pencil/shadows.. and mascara..


Pink pencil case I use for storing my brushes॥

Maybeline Watershine Pure

Saw this add on a magazine, and wanted to buy one



But I got the wrong stuff, hehe..


Nweys, its good also, it moisturizes lips and have a glossy finish,. I got one in pink,. Perhaps I’ll just get Maybeline Watershine 3D collagen in red




Make-up Tools

When you got hooked in MMU, it follows thay you’ll be a collector of brushes too,. The softer the better..

Here’s my humble (as compared to other fellow girltalker) set of brushes…






Everyday Minerals: Flat top, Long Handled Kabuki, Blush Brush, Concealer Brush

Softest brushes …



Charm: Kabuki, concealer brush, liner brush, flat top

First set of Brushes..

The face shop: powder brush

Made of natural goat’s hair,. Need to condition them every washes to make them softer

Mistine: powder brush

Soft brush, comparable to high-ends

Liner brush from Landmark

MAD Pink kabuki






Life&Companion Brushes and other shadow brushes..




Pure Anada





Got my Pure Anada haul,. Ordered July 25 was sent on July 28,. Unfortunately it never reached me,. So emailed them (Sept. 7) to confirm when was it shipped. I stated that my packages always reach me in two weeks time.. so Leigh of The Pure Boutique replied (really fast, huh॥):


Thanks for letting us know; you should have received your order long ago। It was shipped on July 28/08 and normally takes anywhere from 6 to 14 business days to arrive. Obviously it may have got lost.


She sent me another package,. Wasn’t expecting it,. I thought she will just cancel and refund my money same way J. Lynne MMU did.. So happy she didn’t,. Package sent on Sept 9,. Got it last Sept 19…


will soon try to post swatches or FOTD…






Whose into MMU?

Bought Mega magazine coz (1) its special beauty award and (2) their cover now is Lucy Torres.. one of my favorite faces in show business.. as I read the article I smiled when I read:




Nice, noh?!!

First Haul…


My first venture in MMU way back Y2006,. I bought so many full size foundies of Babydoll to get my right shade॥ yes, I don’t settle for samples (and I think they don’t have that then..) turns out cool shade looks better on me, and that my skin is so acidic that I need to get the lightest shade always.. Staying power was not that good though I tend to retouch at mid-day.. I begun playing with their eyeshadows and blushes too,। Then im hooked.. next haul? Bare Escentuals of course..

What’s left of my babydoll ES
