PURE ANADA MAGNETIC PALETTE AND MINERAL SHADOWS

Hi again,

 So if you read my first post about Pure Anada and their brushes then you know this post was to follow, if not check that post out first to get up to speed on who Pure Anada is, as well as see the makeup brushes.
Pure Anada Brush set review
Moving on, at the same time I purchased the brushes I also got a magnetic palette that can hold Pure Anada's mineral shadows, blushes or foundation in any number of configurations to suit your personal needs. The magnetic palette is a very portable case and basically is a similar concept to the zpalette. However this case is 3.5" x 5.5" and will easily fit in a makeup bag or carry on.

The magnetic compact fits one foundation and one cheek color, OR one cheek color and four eye colors, OR eight eye colors
This is $8, but I got mine on sale for $6
Since the items were on sale I also purchased two of the pressed mineral eye colour pans to put into my new magnetic case, since I am not a fan of depotting makeup that already has a case.
Since I am not familiar with this brand I wanted to stick with neutral shades and give them a try before I venture to get any more.
The colours I chose are Mirage & Luna
MIRAGE

 LUNA



These mineral shadows are amazing. So buttery and smooth and blend out hassle free and the pigmentation is top quality and I rarely say that, so they have to be good. I should also mention they have organic Jojoba oil in them. I am definitely purchasing some more colours soon and hope that they are all consistent with this quality.
These are $8 a pan for 3g, but I got them for $6.50 each. This is a demi-matte finish, but the line does offer matte finish too.

Pure Anada offers 17 demi-matte shadows and 3 matte, hopefully the matte offerings will expand with time.

The eyeshadows used with the brushes is a perfect match and I highly recommend you check out Pure Anada soon

DOES PURE ANADA APPEAL TO YOU???

PURE ANADA VEGAN BRUSH SET


Hi everyone,


         I have recently discovered a company that is new to me called "Pure Anada" I will be sharing a travel set of makeup brushes with you today and then will do separate post featuring some other Pure Anada items I purchased.

First lets start with who "Pure Anada" is. They are a company that offers products that are pure and natural and the ingredients are sourced from around the world. The products themselves are made in Manitoba, Canada.

Pure Anada wanted to offer cosmetics that didn't have all kinds of bad ingredients that can have short or long term effects on your health as you use them, as with most other common known brands on the market.

So what will you NOT find in Pure Anada mineral cosmetics
NO synthetic preservatives, dyes, fragrances, flavours, parabens, formaldehyde, petrochemicals, nano/micronized particles, carmine.

Nor does Pure Anada's products contain the following No gluten, No tree nuts and No Bismuth Oxychloride.

Pure Anada has also been certified cruelty free by the "Leaping Bunny Program" So rest assured no furry friends have had to suffer for your cosmetic or brush purchase.

Now on to the good stuff. Lets look at the "Vegan Brush Set" which includes the following items

- Mini flat-top foundation brush
- Dome shaped blush brush
- Oval shadow brush
- Contour shadow brush
- Angled Liner/Brow brush
- Retractable Lip brush
- Canvas Brush roll with a zippered pouch


 
The brush roll is very well made with  a simple design that can also easily be thrown in the wash for a quick freshen up. Very portable for travel
 
The brushes are very nicely made from synthetic micro-fiber with sustainable bamboo handles. The purpose of each brush is printed on the handles for ease of use.
 
Here is a close up of each brush
 
DOMED SHAPE BLUSH BRUSH
 
 
 MINI FLAT TOP FOUNDATION BRUSH
 
 CONTOUR SHADOW BRUSH

 
 OVAL SHADOW BRUSH
 
ANGELED BROW/LINER BRUSH
 
 RETRACTABLE LIP BRUSH

 
 
 
I think this set is quite nice and the brushes are very soft. However the one thing you must know about this set is that the brushes are not standard size. The longest brush would be the blush brush and its only 5" and the rest of the brushes are only 4". I won't deny it I was a quite surprised at how small the actual brushes are which I found a little unimpressive considering they were $30.
 
I would like to see Pure Anada bring out a broader range of full size brushes and sets in the future, but keep them affordable. I think the pictures on the website in which I purchased from are fairly miss leading, you would have no idea how small they really are till you get them.
 
I will say though that even though the brushes are quite small they perform well and I find they are good for small detail work and because the handles are short you have better control working with them.
Here is a look I created and posted to my Instagram using the eye brushes along with a couple of Pure Anada's mineral shadows (review to come in separate post)
 
 
 
All in all I am happy with this set and give it a 4 out 5, only because the size versus price.
 
Hope you found this post useful and be sure to check out Pure Anada's website for more info and a full range of products.
 
HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF PURE ANADA???
 
HAVE A GREAT DAY AND THANKS FOR READING
XOXO:)
