Mia Mariu Botanical Skincare and Mineral Makeup Review

Photobucket
 
As you may be aware from reading my posts, I have really become interested in sharing about fashion and beauty products. As does everyone’s skin, my skin has changed over the past few years and there are definitely tiny wrinkles where I used to have smooth skin. I used to be the woman that would only wear eyeliner and a little blush. I would also save each and every piece of makeup well past its shelf life, which you may know, can be horrible for your skin. Times have changed. I only want to apply quality makeup to my skin because I want it to look its best!

Mia Mariu provides natural health and beauty products that are meant to help you achieve and maintain healthy looking skin. Their products include mineral makeup, botanical skin care, and healthy nutrition products. Mia Mariu products are available online as well as through Independent Distributors. They also provide those who wish to have a home-based business with the opportunity to sell their products.

I was sent numerous Mia Mariu products to review, including the Maria Bonita Mineral Blush, Marino Loose Mineral Eye-Shadow-Liner, Rosa Loose Mineral Eye Shadow-Liner, Caricia Hydrating Stick Gloss, No. 25 Precision Eyeliner/Wet Dry, Restauracel-C Microdermabrasion Thermal Activator and Refinishing Cream, and Hydrating Moisturizer SPF 30+. I was also provided their catalog, which provides a great deal of amount of information about their products.

I am not a woman that has had the luxury of going to salons or spas for facials. I have only had one in my life and that was nearly eight years ago (a trip to the spa was my first Mother’s Day present). I have depended upon products from local stores or those products that I have been able to review. The Restauracel-C Microdermabrasion Thermal Activator and Refinishing Cream are set, in which you mix a bit together to apply to your clean face. These products don’t irritate your face and are oil-free. I like the sensation in my skin when I used these – I felt like the little granules in the Refinisher Cream were hard at work opening up my pores. My skin felt great! I immediately applied the Hydrating Moisturizer. I love that this moisturizer has SPF 30+ and the fact that it’s not in the least bit greasy. My skin felt wonderful.

I have never owned loose mineral powder before. I only applied the Rosa color because this is the closest to what I typically wear. The Marino is dark for me and frankly, since I don’t know that much about makeup, I wasn’t quite sure if I could apply without making myself look like a clown :)  I loved how light and soft this powder is! I used the Precision Eyeliiner/Wet Dry to apply, which was the perfect size brush. The Mineral Blush is similar in that it’s soft and not overpowering. When I initially saw the pink color, I thought it might be a little too pink for my cheeks; however, I was very wrong.

I don’t often wear lipstick because my lips are extremely sensitive and seem to break out in cold sores at the lightest application of gloss or lipstick. However, I just had to try the Caricia Hydrating Stick Gloss. It went on so effortlessly and smooth! I love that it contains vitamins and minerals to help protect lips against dryness. So, there is no need to wear multiple products to achieve the same result.

Ultimately, I feel pampered after using Mia Mariu products. I’m looking forward to adding to my makeup kit with the foundation, concealer, and mascara! Thank you very much to Mia Mariu for the opportunity to review their products!
