How To Look Like The Girl From Ipanema With Southern Magnolia Minerals Brazilian Bronzer & Giveaway

Posted by Moomettes (Admin) on June 27, 2010 · 99 Comments 


Mineral Makeup Reviews


No matter what climate you’re in, tanned skin gives the impression of youth, health and vitality!  Who wouldn’t like to look younger, healthier and vibrant all year long? It’s possible to look as if you’ve enjoyed a month-long vacation on the beautiful beaches in Rio de Janeiro, much  like the Girl from Ipanema with  Southern Magnolia Minerals.

What about the cost of getting tanned skin? I’m not talking in term of dollars and cents, but life itself.  It’s all about death due to skin cancer.  Many people think they may be safe while tanning in the sun or in a tanning salon, but eventually it’ll all catch up to them in the end.

Southern Magnolia MineralsI’ve had the opportunity to work with Southern Magnolia Minerals several times where they’ve hosted Giveaways and I’ve reviewed other products from their line on my WAHM and Review blog, Moomette’s Magnificents .

Barbara, a genteel  Southern Belle, was gracious to share in my launch of Great Finds and Giveaways and suggested I try her line of Brazilian Mineral Face & Body Bronzer Bronzing Powder for my mineral makeup reviews.

It’s exactly what this sun-impaired New England gal needed!

What I like about Barb’s mineral makeup products is that the container dispensers have an easy-to-pull away protective covering, and the mineral makeup shakes out very easily.  PLUS, I like how the containers are clearly marked so that I know what each one is.

I simply apply it with a Kabuki brush and shade as I go along.

You’re able to use it either wet or dry as an eye shadow, and can also apply it to your arms or legs!  I like to apply it to my décolleté area, so I won’t appear so pale when wearing v-neck shirts.

Southern Magnolia Minerals is a family owned and operated Mineral Makeup Company located in the gorgeous foothills of North Carolina. Their minerals are 100% pure bare all-natural minerals and are free of preservatives, chemicals, dyes, oils, perfumes & Bismuth.

Southern Magnolia MineralsIf you haven’t tried mineral makeup yet, I recommend you try Southern Magnolia Minerals.  It will cover all kinds of imperfections and flaws such as dark circles, freckles, age spots, scars, acne, as well as redness from rosacea.

Their line includes Foundation, Eye Shadow, Blush, Finishing Veil, Rice Powder, Starter & Full Size Kits, Radiance, All-Natural Skincare, and more.

Minerals are perfect for all skin types and tones. They are ideal for those suffering with acne, rosacea, scarring & other skin conditions. With natural sunscreen & anti-inflammatory properties, it provides complete coverage while helping heal & soothe. It’s actually good for your skin! The Cosmetic Companies also call it “Skin Care Makeup”!


Southern Magnolia Minerals DO NOT use Bismuth Oxycholoride (the shiny itchy ingredient that can cause a reaction.)

Their site is extremely informative, and includes a FAQ section, answering tons of questions regarding application instructions as well as a section on how to get “the look.” You just have to check out this site and their blog for more mineral makeup reviews!

Other products offered include blush, eye, lip, beauty tools, primer, finishing, skincare, mineral makeup kits and they also sell wholesale.

What’s really nice is Southern Magnolia Minerals offers Free Shipping on retail orders within the USA.

    What a fabulous giveaway! I would also love trying their “**New** Vitamin E Infused Apricot Shimmer Lipstick!” I think the bronzer and apricot shimmer lipstick would look great together…
    I have never tried mineral makeup before and this would be a great way to begin.
