Adorned With Grace (Testing 1-2-3 Minerals)

Awhile back I tested some mmu a friend sent me from a new company and I just found out that the owner (Franchesca) has temporarily opened her store for purchase. The website is only a testing one in order to try out the market before she opens her actual store. Unfortunately she's not accepting international orders at this time :( But she will, once her real store, Adorned With Grace is open. Right now she's selling her products at cost just to get feedback. So if you live in the US or know someone who does who can help you get samples, head on down to: http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/testing123mmu/

Just join and be sure to check out the photo gallery - lots of stuff there! :) I especially love the way she presents her swatches. Lots of FOTDs and EOTDs too.

For me I couldn't get a foundation match in the samples my friend sent me. They were mostly too dark and peachy tan for me. My closest match was in Golden Honey but that too was slightly too dark although the undertones were good. I'm sure there are lighter samples, I just haven't got my hands on them yet! The foundation is medium to full coverage but doesn't feel or look heavy. In fact I wore it very comfortably for one whole day. The blushes I've tried are quite pigmented and her eyeshadows are very pretty and natural-looking. I especially love her greens and neutrals.

Her baggie samples are going really cheap! $0.30 each for 1/8tsp. If you would like to email Franchesca directly you can do so at: adorned_with_grace@yahoo.com

So happy testing, ladies :)
