I love an improvement on an existing product and that’s exactly what MINERALS MATE has done – made improvements to their already useful product. As we all know, mineral makeup powders can be messy and we generally use the cap the product comes in to get it on the brush. So MM has tried to harness the problem by not only creating a palette to lay the powders in but now safely store them until the next use. That’s right – they now come with caps so you can cap what you have not used for the next use. They also seems to weigh less then the original one I tried, so kudos to that too!

Choose from Red at Play and Double Platinum. $19.95 @ mineralsmate.com.

What do you use to swirl and tap your mineral makeup in? As in, after you pick up the color, you need to kind of work it into the brush and I think that anyone who uses mineral makeup has used the container lid by default. Now you have a choice! The MINERALS MATE is an 8” x 4” palette with various sized wells can hold your eye colors, cheek shades, water if you are looking to change up the effect and more. And in the middle front is a thumb rest so you will be able to pick the plate up and move it about without running the chance of accidentally dropping or knocking the powders around.

And this comes in a nice red satin pouch for storing leftover minerals from day to day and also a spatula for scooping. And when you are ready to clean it, just use soap and water. And it’s on sale right now for $6.99 @ mineralsmate.com. Holiday presents anyone?

Speaking of holiday presents, I will begin my Annual Holiday Gift Guide starting the day after Thanksgiving so make sure to check back for some swell beauty picks.
