Updated-pin up look using products from Glo Minerals
I gotta say that this Glo Minerals neutral eyeshadow palette and cream blush are sooo good! I mean, the blush is crazy pigmented, and the eyeshadows are smooth and silky.

After trying the Glo Minerals lip crayons a couple of months ago, I’d been dying to try much more from the brand. So I did!

I love the quality of these Glo Minerals products
This neutral eyeshadow palette and dynamic lipstick made me think of a modern-day pin-up look, so for this makeup look I kept the eyes pretty neutral and added some punch with the coral blush (Go Minerals Guava) and red/orange lip (Glo Minerals Crush).

Really loving this lippie
The Glo Minerals Elemental Eye Collection palette ($44) is the second neutral eyeshadow palette I’ve used and recently evaluated (my thoughts on the other one, this palette by Buxom, are here), and I really like it!

The darker shades imply that you can completely do a very smokey eye with it, but the shimmery eyeshadows are easy to apply for quick washes of color, and there are four warm-toned shades and four cool-toned shades, so it’s very versatile.

All of the shades are mattes, except for two of them, which are shimmery, so I think there’s a little something for everyone.  

Here are swatches of the shadows:

Swatches of the Glo Minerals Elemental Eye Collection palette (L to R): Bubbly, Breathless, Adobe and Henna

More swatches of the Glo Minerals Elemental Eye Collection (L to R): Cosmic, Dusk, Relic and Eclipse
I really like working with these shadows. here I used Breathless all over my lid and Adobe in the crease and along the lower lash line. then I added a little Henna in the outer corner for drama.  

Also, just a note, but that the black shade, Eclipse, didn’t swatch smoothly, but it’s actually pretty smooth on the eyes. 

And even though I really like the eyeshadow palette, I think the Glo Minerals cream blush in Guava ($26) is a bigger star.

Cream blushes are typically kind of sheer, but Guava is intense! The color is so pretty for summer, and there’s a cute little mirror in the compact too. The blush is small enough to keep in your purse for when you need a little pick-me-up, and I think the color is very flattering.

Now, I’ve already raved about the $16 Glo Minerals Suede Matte Crayons, so you men know I also love these. They apply extremely smoothly, and I think the pointed suggestion really helps to keep things neat. Also, while Crush is matte, it’s actually very comfortable to wear. Basically, Crush lip crayon is everything.
