Review: Herbs of Grace Natural Color Blush

Mineral cosmetics can be found in almost any drugstore, but most brands use fillers like talc and preservatives that are anything but natural. Herbs of Grace is a brand that is about as natural as you can get, offering a gentle line of vegan mineral cosmetics. One product they offer is blush, available in a variety of colors.

Pros:
  • Long-lasting color
  • A little goes a long way
  • Shimmery, not glittery
  • Rich hues
  • Affordable
  • Multi-tasking product
Cons:
  • May be hard to find locally
Summary:
The shade I tested, Rose Petal, initially appeared to me as a blush. However, it is a multi-tasking product that is also sold as a lip color and an eye shadow. The powder itself is highly pigmented (after all, it is pure mica), so a little goes a long way. The application may vary depending on how you want to use it (dry applications for cheeks and eye lids, wet for lips), but it is a rich and flattering color. I was glad to see this rated about a low 2 on EWG Skin Deep database. While a there are some retail locations scattered across the U.S., I recommend ordering online for the best selection. The prices are very reasonable, especially given the quality of the colors, and shipping is nominal. However, I would love to see a pressed version someday, as they are more convenient for professionals such as myself. If you're looking for affordable, highly-pigmented mineral makeup, Herbs of Grace offers a nice selection.
