Revisiting The All Natural Face

Written on January 11th, 2010 by Jamie Lee8 comments

Back in September I ordered a bunch of make up from an Etsy store called The All Natural Face. I promised to write a follow-up review but you may have noticed that it never happened. It took me a really long time to figure out how I really felt about this makeup. I was really impressed by their prices and their customer service. (To spark your memory, I got all of the samples below for only $10. You can read more about what everything is in my post about The All Natural Face.)

Organic Make-up

The samples that I ordered in September lasted me all the way until January, but when it came time to order more, I couldn’t bring myself to do it. My biggest qualm with the makeup is that it doesn’t wear well throughout the day. The eye shadow creases even if you apply the primer, the eye liner gets under your eyes, and the foundation and concealer vanish so that skin looks that same as it did when you first get out of the shower.  I tend not to wear very much makeup so when I put something on in the morning I want it to last until I go to bed without needing to cake it on before I leave the house. I always think of Becky from Full House telling D.J. that the trick to applying make-up was to look like you’re not wearing any at all. I would love to wear this makeup all the time because of how affordable it is and how great it is to work with The All Natural Face, but since I want products that don’t require me to reapply, I’m afraid that I’m going to have to go back to Bare Essentials.

Has anyone else tried The All Natural Face? What was your experience?

I love makeup. I love the colors and the sections in magazines where they take pictures of tiny piles of eye shadow and smears of lipstick. It’s so beautiful and brings so much possibility. A few weeks ago I came across an Etsy shop called The All Natural Face. The store sells chemical-free, natural, vegan mineral makeup. Vegan is one of those words like “organic” and “natural” that somehow manages to triple the price of an item. So you can see why I was shocked to learn how affordable the products are at The All Natural Face.

My package arrived today and for the $10 I spent I received: 18 samples of foundation (I only ordered 6), eye shadow primer and the accompanying brush, an eye shadow brush (sounds the same but it’s very different), five samples of blush (free), two samples of eye liner (free), five samples of concealer, five samples of eye shadow (free), and three samples of dusting powder (also free)!! Isn’t that amazing?! I have so much to try and I’m so excited. I may stay up all night playing with my new makeup but at least I know that if I do, I now have concealer to hide the evidence!! I’ll let you know how it all turns out.
