Southern Belle
Beauty Buzz
Since I was a teenager, I’ve always been a heavy makeup user. I’d never leave the house without it. Not that I would look overly made-up, it’s just that I usually would use the full monty – moisturizer, foundation, blush, eyeshadow, eyeliner, mascara, and lip-liner and/or lipstick.
Now that I’m more mature, I prefer to go somewhat lighter with my makeup, and have recently become a fan of mineral makeup. I’ve tried several brands of mineral makeup since I’ve discovered it, and in fact, I was, at one point, a mineral makeup direct sales rep for another company at one point in my online career.
Recently I had the opportunity to review Southern Magnolia Minerals. Barbara, a true Southern Belle, was kind enough to send me a wonderful assorted collection of makeup to try!
Southern Magnolia Minerals is a family owned and operated Mineral Makeup Company located in the gorgeous foothills of North Carolina. Their minerals are 100% pure bare all-natural minerals and are free of preservatives, chemicals, dyes, oils, perfumes & Bismuth.
If you haven’t tried mineral makeup yet, I recommend you try Southern Magnolia Minerals. It will cover all kinds of imperfections and flaws such as dark circles, freckles, age spots, scars, acne, as well as redness from rosacea.
Their line includes Foundation, Eye Shadow, Blush, Bronzer, Finishing Veil, Rice Powder, Starter & Full Size Kits, Radiance, All-natural Skincare, and more.
Minerals are perfect for all skin types and tones. They are ideal for those suffering with acne, rosacea, scarring & other skin conditions. With natural sunscreen & anti-inflammatory properties, it provides complete coverage while helping heal & soothe. It’s actually good for your skin! The Cosmetic Companies also call it “Skin Care Makeup”!
Southern Magnolia Minerals DO NOT use Bismuth Oxycholoride (the shiny itchy ingredient that can cause a reaction.) I’ve found it great for my Baby Boomer ‘mature skin.’ It works just as well for my 20-something daughters who also tried it.
What I like about Southern Magnolia Minerals is that the container dispensers have an easy-to-pull away protective covering, and the mineral makeup shakes out very easily. PLUS, I like how the containers are clearly marked so that I know what each one is.
Their site is extremely informative, and includes a FAQ section, answering tons of questions regarding application instructions as well as a section on how to get “the look.” You just have to check out this site and their blog!
Other products offered include blush, eye, lip, beauty tools, primer, finishing, skincare, mineral makeup kits and they also sell wholesale.
What’s real nice is Southern Magnolia Minerals offers Free Shipping on retail orders.
My Readers can use Promo Code for Discount at checkout: RealBeauty10

I like that the Southern Magnolia Minerals website shows pictures of different people with different skin tones to help you figure out your correct foundation shade, instead of just showing pictures of the makeup itself, which can be misleading.
