Mia Mariu Cosmetics Review and Giveaway

 

I am not that big a fan of cosmetics, I have to admit. I'd rather not wear any most days. But sometimes there are days when a little is needed, so I begrudgingly put it on.

So I wasn't the most likely candidate to test out Mia Mariu Cosmetics. But I'm glad I did!

Mia Mariu’s high performance products are formulated with the most natural ingredients available helping you achieve vibrant beauty and health inside and out. Each unique product fuses nature and technology by combining the highest quality botanicals, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and peptides. The result is healthy products that provide a perfect balance that reflects itself through youthful, healthy, beautiful, glowing skin and renewed energy and vitality, at an exceptional value. Mia offers natural skin care, professional makeup artist quality mineral cosmetics and brushes to Reveal Your Unique Shade of Beauty!

Mia Mariu's line of cosmetic products includes anti-aging treatments, nutritional supplements, foundations, concealers, blushes, eye shadow, eye liners, mascara, lipstick, brushes, and fragrances. Everything was so nice, I had a hard time choosing what I wanted to try out.

I ended up choosing the following items, which are pictured above:

• Eye Shadow Duo - Noche de Amor
• Eye Liner - Azabache
• Mascara - Azabache
• Lipstick - Caprichio

The products were easy to put on - no clumping of the mascara, like so many other brands I've tried.  I really loved the pink and purple colors of the eye shadow; they went together and blended well.  The pencil went on smoothly. Because I'm fair-skinned, I don't usually wear black eyeliner and mascara, but these went on subtly, not overpowering like some black eyeliners and mascara might.  And I thought the pink color of the lipstick worked well for me.

I checked on my makeup a few times during the day, and saw that no reapplications were necessary.  In fact, by the end of the day, it had not worn off and was still looking great!

Other brands of makeup may be cheap - or even free when you combine sales with coupons - but if they don't stay on, they're not doing their job.  And if you have to reapply them over and over again, then any cost savings goes out the door.  So I really liked giving Mia Mariu a try!
