The Cosmetic Princess Boutique (Please scroll down page for information regarding My Personal Line of Pure Natural Mineral Cosmetics)

My Babies Jessica & Christina (Ok! They're All Grown Up but Still My Babies!) This is my family~ My Mom, husband, Sisters & Daughters who I LOVE! Hi!  My name is Magdalena but I go by Nena (it's a lot easier to pronounce!)   I've been selling on eBay for 7 years now as The Cosmetic Princess & Thee Cosmetic Princess.  I love to hear from you! I receive lots of emails from my customers asking for advice on makeup and skincare products.  If I don't know the answer, I will do my best to find it for you! My favorite magazine is Allure because I can always find the latest trends on cosmetics & skincare & answers to a lot of  your questions! I specialize in discontinued  cosmetics  & skincare items.  This started when one of my favorite items was discontinued by the manufacturer so I started researching the internet to find where I could stock up before it was all gone.  Word got around that I had some luck tracking down discontinued items and I started receiving requests. Customers just love when I carry something that they can no find or has been discontinued. I LOVE makeup and always have!  Actually, all the girls in my family love makeup!  I have 2 daughters, 2 sisters, my nieces & mom.  Whenever we get together (my husband runs or we'll make him up too!), we break out all my personal collection of cosmetics (and you can imagine, I have TONS of it!) and make each other up.  We've been doing this forever!  They love to see what new items I've gotten in & they LOVE all the freebies I give them.  My girls will even bring their friends over before going to a party so I can make them up!  I love it!  Funny for someone who really doesn't wear alot of makeup!  It's always been around since I was a kid.  My mom sold Avon ever since I can remember and I use to love to mix up colors and make up my own creations & shades from blush to eyeshadows to lip glosses.  That's probably why I created Pure*Beauty Mineral Cosmetics (www.PureBeautyCosmetics.com) a few years back.  I would have loved to become a makeup artist but I just never found the time to take classes. I sell on eBay full time.  I have sold on eBay now for 7 years & I love it.  I try to offer the lowest prices possible on my listings including shipping.  Fifty percent of my sales are international.  I sell all over the world. You can always contact me at cosmeticprincess2008@yahoo.com  with your questions.  I will answer them as soon as possible and I answer each and every one.  If I miss yours, please know that I didn't ignore it.  I simply for some reason didn't get it so please try again.                                                                                                           POLICIES, TERMS & CONDITIONS Attention International Buyers: All International shipments are subject to customs fees payable by the buyer and imposed by the destination country.

Please EMAIL ME 1st before making a return at CosmeticPrincess2008@yahoo.com Pure♥Natural Minerals© Cosmetics by The Cosmetic Princess.com           (To View Pure♥Natural  Minerals© Cosmetics  www.PureNaturalMinerals.com)     ~♥~     Pure♥Natural Minerals© is the purest form of cosmetics available. It is talc-free, chemical-free and dye-free. Non-organic, our mineral cosmetics are unable to grow molds, yeasts and bacteria like most other cosmetics. While it is a powder form, it is not drying. It seals in moisture for those with dry skin yet doesn't clog pores for those with oily skin. It also won't "break up" in response to oil, but remains flawless throughout the day. Our Products are Handcrafted in Small Batches ~ Not Mass Produced in a Factory ~♥~ How to Apply Mineral Makeup Mineral Veils~ From my experience, I have found that a latex cosmetic sponge works best when applying Mineral Veils.  Mineral Veils are so lightweight, I find that using a brush to apply is pointless since most of it ends up on your clothes (removes easily) and in the air!  Using a good cosmetic latex sponge makes ALL THE DIFFERENCE.  I simply press the sponge into the powder then press onto my entire face then use the sponge again to smooth it out. The end result is a flawless finish and it lasts longer with no waste!  I am now including a small sealed Mary Kay cosmetic sponge with the veils so you can try it immediately upon receiving it.  I use a full size sponge but this sponge will work until you are able to buy one.  They're pretty inexpensive and can be found at any department store, drugstore or beauty supply. Mineral Eyeshadows~  Always start with an eyeshadow base no matter what kind of eyeshadow you use.  Your eyeshadow will apply more smoothly and last my longer.  I like to use a not-so-fluffy shadow brush; one with shorter bristles for more control.  I press the side of the brush (not the point) into the shadow then PRESS/PAT unto my eyelid. Again, mineral makeup is very lightweight so brushing it on only makes a mess and ends up all over your face.  Pressing it on with the side of a brush gives you more control.  I especially like to use a damp brush because it gives the shadow a sheer foiled luminous effect and lasts longer. Mineral Blush/All Over Face Color~  I do use a brush to apply my blush but I first lightly PRESS it on my face then buff in small circles.  I always recommend using a moisturizer first, even if it's just your suncreen, then let it set/dry before applying Mineral Foundations, Blush and/or All Over Face Colors.  I find that your minerals go on much smoother and lasts longer but make sure moisturizer is completely absorbed into the skin first. ~♥~ Mineral Makeup FAQ Mineral makeup is makeup which is crafted from powdered minerals and iron oxides. Its historical roots are ancient, as women (and men) have been putting “colored earth” on their skin since the beginning of time.  ~♥~ Why Pure♥Natural Minerals©? Most hypo-allergenic cosmetic available Broad-spectrum UVB and UVA protection - up to SPF 20 Anti-inflammatory, helps to calm and soothe irritated skin Nearly waterproof No talc or parabens are added to our cosmetics Made with only inert minerals (cannot support or grow bacteria like traditional cosmetics so it never expires) Never tested on animals  ~♥~ What are loose mineral cosmetics? Loose mineral cosmetics are comprised of naturally occurring minerals that have been used for cosmetic purposes for thousands of years. (Cleopatra used crushed mica as a body shimmer). These minerals are mined from around the world, purified, and crushed into fine powders. If this all sounds exotic, cosmetic companies use these same minerals to add color, texture and luster to everything from eyeshadow and lipstick to hair color. They're even in your tube of toothpaste! Many of these minerals have a special luster that, when applied to the skin, give the face a lovely glow, lending a healthy, youthful appearance to blemished or aged skin. ~♥~ Why loose? Loose mineral cosmetics are catching on in popularity for a very good reason. It is the most natural makeup available on the market. Just think about how your face feels when you apply a liquid foundation. In order to create a liquid foundation, manufacturers add water, oil, waxes, petrochemicals, synthetic humectants, gums, and fillers (like talc) to the mineral colorants. They also add dyes and preservatives. Our loose, dry minerals don't require preservatives, and all of those other irritating ingredients are completely unnecessary. The natural pigments blend easily on the skin and provide superior coverage due to the lack of cheap fillers. ~♥~ Will my skin break out? If you have sensitive skin, and have had bad experiences with cosmetics in the past, then natural mineral makeup is for you. While even a good quality natural cosmetic does not carry a guarantee, the likelihood of a reaction is rare. The most irritating ingredients in cosmetics are talc, dye, and perfume. Our products are free of all of these ingredients. ~♥~  Will your loose mineral makeup dry my skin out since it's a powder? Mineral makeup powder is a world apart from other non-mineral powdered makeups. Most non-mineral powders are so drying because they use talc as a main ingredient. Not only does talc dry the skin out, it is also under suspicion as a carcinogen (cancer causing agent). Pure♥Natural Minerals© does not use talc. Our powdered makeup actually helps trap moisture in the skin. ~♥~ Can Pure♥Natural Minerals© be used on wrinkles and mature skin? Absolutely! In fact, Pure♥Natural Minerals© refracts light which minimizes the appearance of fine lines and other imperfections. You should always moisturize before applying your mineral makeup. Wait about 5 minutes for your moisturizer to absorb before applying our mineral makeup. ~♥~  Can Pure♥Natural Minerals© be used on Rosacea or post-laser treated skin? Pure♥Natural Minerals© is the best type of makeup to use if you have rosacea, ruddy red skin or post-laser treated skin. Our mineral makeup contains no irritants and contains zinc oxide which is a natural anti-inflammatory and very healing.  ~♥~ Pure♥Natural Minerals© product ingredients are as follows: ♥ Finishing Silky Veil - Glow: mica, titanium dioxide. ♥ Loose Mineral Blush: mica, titanium dioxide, iron oxides and Bismuth Oxychloride. ♥ Loose Mineral Eyeshadows: mica,  iron oxides, titanium dioxide and Bismuth Oxychloride. ♥ All Over Face Color: titanium dioxide, mica, iron oxides.  May contain Bismuth Oxychloride.  Same pure mineral ingredients as the higher end mineral cosmetic companies. ~♥~ Pure♥Natural Minerals© is exclusively made/packaged/distributed by The Cosmetic Princess© To View Pure♥Natural Minerals©  Store  www.PureNaturalMinerals.com ~♥~
