Maia's Mineral Galaxy: NEW Products!
11:49 AM Posted by Mommy Is Green
If you've visited my blog before you know that I've been using Maia's Mineral Galaxy makeup for the past year. I try to avoid nasty toxic chemicals as much as possible. And one way I do that is by choosing my makeup and skin care cautiously. I appreciate products that don't contain parabens, phthalates, and other harmful chemicals (too many to be named really). So I often turn to Maia's Mineral Galaxy.
Here are some of the NEW products out in their line:
Mineral Foundation with Organic Arrowroot Powder — If you're going the natural but non-GMO route this foundation is a good choice. Usually, I can't use powdered foundations because they react to my natural facial oil and either get too dark or turn orange. But that's not the case with this powder. I use the Egg Shell shade without a problem. It's a light coverage foundation when used dry. I feel that's all I personally need but if you like medium coverage you can use a wet application.

Lip n Cheek Stain — This is my favorite new product by far!!! I absolutely adore the shade Holy which is a very light pink. As a lip stain, I find it to be more opaque than a lip gloss and it seems to last longer too. As a blush, I definitely enjoy this more than a powdered blush because it's quicker and easier to use. Plus, I like that my lip and cheek shades match.
Aquamarine Eye Shadow — This is an absolutely gorgeous shade! Since it is a lighter shade I always put some kind of primer on my eyelid first to get the full effect. It's very lovely in combination with the Holy Lip n Cheek Stain.
Antique Jade Eye Shadow — I don't usually wear green eye shadow but this shade changed my mind. To me, it's a gold-like green and I think that's why I like it so much. Also, since it's a darker shade I don't always need a primer when I wear it.
Gentle Exfoliating Cleansing Cream — If foaming facial cleansers are too drying for your skin you'd really like this cleansing cream. It removes makeup and is very moisturizing at the same time. It does contain aloe leaf juice and witch hazel so I did confirm with Maia's Mineral Galaxy that neither of these ingredients contains parabens or phenoxyethanol.
Anti-Fatigue Foot Cream — It's good to have a foot cream that's moisturizing as well as contains soothing essential oils such as lavender and roman chamomile. I'm a big fan of shea butter and I always think that makes for an incredible moisturizer. The scent of this cream is very relaxing too.
Extreme Firming Eye Gel — I've started using eye gel a bit as a preventative measure. It's easy to spread a couple of drops of this gel around my eyes after cleansing my face. It contains moisturizing and anti-oxidant ingredients to reduce wrinkles, dark circles, and puffiness. A little does go a long way too.

Thanks for sharing the new products with us! I would love to try the
Gentle Exfoliating Cleansing Cream. I take such care to use natural products on my kids, I really need to do a better job selecting products for myself.

The foot cream sounds wonderful, and like you, I think I'd tend to choose the dry rather than wet formations.
