A farmgirl's makeup stash...
Years ago I was interested in the all natural makeup phenomena, but when I viewed some of the prices for the natural makeups from companies like Bare Minerals and the like, I had to forgo that luxury for frugality.  I just sorely stuck to my tried and true drugstore brands.  However, last year I came across a company that changed all of that for me.  I have been a loyal customer since.  The company promotes itself as all natural and vegan, though the vegan part doesn't seduce me (have you seen my post about our turkeys?) the rest of what the company stands for are favorites.  I decided to give them a try, I was hooked.

Mission statement of the company: Our mission is to provide you with the best mineral cosmetics possible. We do not use any artificial ingredients. No bismuth, no talc, no carmine, no silk powder, no d & c lake colors and no parabens! Just pure and simple ingredients from the earth. Most brushes are synthetic and only 1 is hair...It is the $1.70 sampler kit brush.
The very first thing I ever ordered from them was the "GET STARTED GREEN KIT" for $23.

WEBSITE DESCRIPTION: This is the perfect way to introduce yourself to The All Natural Face. It is so reasonably priced it makes a switch to green easy!This listing includes:* Vegan buffer brush* Generous samples of Mineral Foundation ( please state fair- medium or medium to dark in notes to seller for color choices)* 20 Sample Eye Shadows* Samples of all of the Veils* Vegan Eye Shadow/Concealer Brush* Samples of all of the Glows* Samples of Blushes* Samples of all the Concealers
I honestly wasn't expecting much, and I was SOOOO impressed.  I was able to try so many colors to find the EXACT match of a mineral foundation.  The samples were generous enough that I was able to get several days wear out of the foundations and going on 2 weeks worth of wear from the eyeshadows. When I ordered the mineral foundation of my choice, it ran within $1 of what I pay for drugstore brand foundation.  I loved how if felt.  I prefer to use it over a moisturizer in the winter and it is great to take the sheen off your skin in the summer.

Since that first go round I have now favorited the company's liquid eyeliner, shimmer eye shadows, foundations, eyeshadow primer, and brushes.

Go give them a try and let me know what you think. The All Natural Face 
I also couldn't forget to mention the Lip Shimmer by Burt's Bees.  This is a drugstore find, but I love the tinted, not so lipsticky look of this product.  And bonus, it has a tingly peppermint-y essential oil in it.  Makes my lips soft but doesn't leave marks all over my babies, win-win!
