Everyday Minerals offers new set of vegan eyeshadows

Everyday Minerals (EM) was launched in 2006 when Founder Carina Menzies couldn't find the right simple, natural makeup on sale. The company is committed to finding the purest form of naturally sourced ingredients, and now sells all-natural, completely vegan, cruelty-free products that are handmade in Texas, with eco-friendly, recyclable packaging.

Vegan makeup is makeup that does not use ingredients derived from animals, and which is not tested on animals. Many cosmetics companies now have vegan products or whole vegan lines, or like EM, may be completely vegan. In EM's case, the products do not contain any fillers or animal derived ingredients, so the company advises that its cosmetics and skincare products should be placed away from direct sunlight and heat, in a cool place.

EM recently launched a new line of eight neutral shades for the eyes called the “Oh, So Pretty” Collection! According to the EM blog, the palate of shades ranges from white to browns, as well as soft blue and yellow hues, and are designed to mix and match easily.

The eyeshadows are named after inspiring traits. A white, "almost peachy" colour is called She's Charismatic; a denim grayish blue is called She's Complete, while She's Freedom is a bronze medium brown.

There is a sale on (EM ships internationally), with the US$14 eyeshadows going for US$12, and the US$10 eyeshadows going for US$6.50. To see the She’s Powerful, She’s Desire, and She’s Creative eyeshadows from the Oh, So Pretty collection on a model, visit the blog post here.
