Smashbox Makeup Brand Purchased by Estee Lauder
Smashbox Makeup Brand Purchased by Estee Lauder
It's about time that Estee Lauder got it's hands on the failing Smashbox cosmetics line. When makeup or cosmetic brands seem to fail, Estee Lauder has purchased them at low pricing and brought them back to their livelyhood.
Reuter's announced earlier today that the Smashbox and Estee Lauder deal would close in July of this year, with many makeup artists, and users citing that they are excited to have Smashbox back to a real makeup company again with products the last, not fall apart during shipping or after one use.
MAC Cosmetics is just one of the well known makeup brands owned by Estee Lauder and now worth over $1 Billion. It's hopeful that Smashbox will be worth Estee's time in the cosmetic industry, but only time will tell.
Makeup Artist Rae Kat Switzer owner of Raesin Images Colour ID Mineral Makeup brand offered, "It's a great buy for Estee Lauder, and we definately hope the Smashbox brand makeups a turnaround. We've purchased a few of the Smashbox cosmetics products from QVC and they had fallen apart prior to even arriving for use. After we tried the Smashbox brand QVC offered a refund, but not on shipping, so that was sad, we contacted Smashbox and they were of no help either. What can we say, it's not like Smashbox was worth paying for, the products were terrible and we're really looking forward to a turnaround in the next few years. Mr. Max Factor the Celebrity Makeup Artist guru deserves that much, and it's too bad his great-grandsons ruined their chances by purchasing poorly manufactured makeup in the past few years."
54 articles on the Estee Lauder Buy out of Smashbox can be located at Google Makeup News.
Estee Lauder to buy Smashbox makeup brand -
It's nice to read about "NO MAKEUP" on celebrities, but let's get real, there are not many celebrities that do their own makeup and most of us do apply our own, and this is makeup news for the normal consumer like yourself.

Mineral Makeup Foundations Can Help Prevent Skin Cancer
Mineral Makeup Foundations Can Help Prevent Skin Cancer
The most important thing to remember when using any mineral foundation or chemical foundation with an SPF is you should still apply 1 other sunscreen product designed for your skin type prior to applying foundation makeup. This process offers the skin an extra layer of necessary sunscreen protection against lines, wrinkles, and skin cancer.
Most small mineral makeup companies can not afford to have their products certified so please make note of this when purchasing mineral foundation from the thousands of internet based companies. The above list of mineral foundation brands should guide you to certified makeup products.

Makeup Websites Brings Mineral Makeup Brands Together
Makeup Websites Brings Mineral Makeup Brands Together
If the best mineral makeup brand were easy to find, or if consumers all thought one makeup brand was the best, than there wouldn’t be a need for so many makeup or mineral makeup brands, right? Um… no. It’s just not that simple, so we’re here to help you find the best mineral makeup information and resources websites.
First is the new Mineral Makeup News website and makeup brands reviews blog. We’re not sure where their original blog was, but we know their new one is updated often, and makeup companies, mineral makeup companies etc that email them add their information and sales, so this is a handy website.
Makeup News is a relatively new website but their Makeup and Cosmetics News Twitter posts are up to the minute with makeup and cosmetics brands news from around the globe. Some companies I’d never heard of but they have it all.
Mineral Makeup Reviews Organization is one of the few makeup and mineral makeup reviews websites that we have seen that it’s full of affiliate pictures trying to get you to buy other brands on other sites to make a buck like the rest of the makeup and mineral makeup blogs and review sites we’ve been to.
The Mineral Makeup Resource website is another makeup blog site that seems to be getting going, but is sure to be a place for anyone needing quick facts on ingredients, products, brands, reviews, etc.
The Mineral Makeup Company website also has a blog set up, but their main site sells several different brands of mineral makeup, makeup, skin care, and other cosmetics. They do have off site affiliates to shop, but when offering site only discounts a sign up is worth it.
Rouge is the Proctor and Gamble makeup, skin care, and beauty magazine, it comes free, all you have to do is sign up for mail or newsletter service. We get it monthly and love it, free makeup coupons too.
The Global Cosmetics Network website just opened their blog. This site is still in the works, under our ownership as several others are, but we have had a nice buy-out offer, so just might be selling it soon. But do check it out as we try to keep the blog updated as well as the links for makeup brands around the globe.
Didn’t see alot in the way of Google makeup news, and never mineral makeup news since they stopped using news websites and started using cosmetic blog sites for news. No offense google, but um? Blogs news is just women talking, how about in-cosmetics for real cosmetics news 
and we do miss the Examiner Mineral Makeup News in the google news.
Whether you want to know what’s going on with MAC Cosmetics, Loreal, Estee Lauder, Boots in the UK, or Covergirl in the US, the above makeup resource websites will have the beauty brand information you need with maybe just a little Celebrity makeup looks and hoards of makeup application advice.

Best Discount Makeup Brushes Located
Best Discount Makeup Brushes Located
I just received my first order from KabukiBrushes.com and have to say that these are the best makeup brushes that I have ever found, and most of the makeup brushes I purchased were at leat 1/4 of the price of other discount makeup brush web sites.
Let me give you a run down of the discount makeup brushes I purchased....
When we first started manufacturing mineral makeup we needed our own line of mineral makeup brushes and brush sets, and didn't want to purchase from China or anywhere other than US companies.
KabukiBrushes.com is a great resource for all discount makeup brushes.

Mineral Makeup is it worth the hassle
For those familiar with mineral makeup brands, you realize that it's more loose powder than pressed, and that why you shy away from loose mineral makeup isn't because you don't like it, in fact you love mineral makeup and how it makes your skin feel, but.... you dislike the mess a toppled mineral powder sifter jar can cause.
So why use loose mineral makeup powder with it's hassles when you can use pressed mineral makeup? Are pressed mineral makeup brands as healthy and beneficial for your skin as the loose mineral makeup? You bet they are!
Pressed mineral makeup brands such as Jane Iredale, Pur Minerals, Physicians Formula, Raesin Images Colour ID Minerals, Cover Girl, and others tout the same mineral makeup benefits as the loose powders. In fact there are more mineral makeup benefits to pressed mineral foundations as there are to loose minerals.
If you're new to the world of mineral makeup, give one of the pressed mineral foundations a try. Raesin Images has just released it's new pressed mineral foundation Trilogy products. They are a 3 in 1 product containing 3 different shades of mineral foundation, and can be used as concealer, foundation, and contour, the colors allow every women to mix and match for the perfect shade and all women realize their skin changes color by the day due to hormones, stress, etc.
Physicians Formula carries pressed mineral foundation with many shades in one compact, allowing the user to blend for a great combination to match their skin's changing needs.
As time goes on, consumers will see a trend of mineral makeup brands changing to pressed, creams, and liquids in their mineral foundation formulas. This change is needed in the mineral makeup industry for convenience, travel, and shelf life.

Mineral Makeup Reviews and News Mineral Makeup Resources
As far as mineral makeup brands go, we're always researching and re-researching their cosmetic ingredients, labeling, and inbound links to see what their customers are viewing. Some mineral makeup company websites are good, some are just flash and js and our websites mineral makeup blog polls had customers really not liking flash because it offers nothing to a website.
While we know our main mineral makeup brand website can seem overwhelming to those that like flash or js, most consumers liked that we had so much mineral makeup information, resources, reviews, news, and other private label mineral makeup brand information on the website and mineral makeup blogs. We know it's not easy to locate the mineral makeup brand reviews and products for sale in one place, so we have been watching to see what mineral makeup websites are on target and know they need ot offer this, not just their own mineral makeup brand.
The Mineral Makeup Reviews Organization, Mineral Makeup Brands, and Mineral Makeup Companies websites all offered many different mineral makeup products, reviews, and news, and Raesin Images also has a full line up of mineral makeup brands reviews, news, and an area to purchase other mineral makeup companies products, including their own Colour ID Minerals Makeup.
With physicians seriously suggesting that consumers stay away from any mineral foundation with bismuth, mica, talc or chemicals it's nice to be able to read makeup reviews and mineral makeup reviews from the many real private label mineral makeup brands quickly.
As you seek facts on mineral makeup brands you might want to visit the Mineral Makeup Directory and the Mineral Makeup Resource websites. They seem to be new but really growing fast.
Happy Mineral makeup shopping, blogging and reviewing.
