I am so happy that Gia Minerals popped up on my radar on instagram a few months ago. The Founder, Georgina, is so passionate about bringing quality, superior, clean beauty products to you. The colors are beautifully pigmented and I just love how multi-useful they are! With a dab of water or mixed with my favorite balm Waxelene, each of these colors instantly doubles as a gloss or a crème shadow!

The Gia Minerals Bronzer in Sun Goddess is stunning! So beautiful, and it looks incredible on my freckled skin tone. I use this with or without makeup underneath and it’s always eye popping and gorgeous.

Gia Minerals Foundation in Latte is a perfect match for my skin tone, but Gia makes many other colors as well! With super healing ingredients like Kaolin Clay and Zinc Oxide, this mineral foundation helps your skin heal as it flawlessly covers and revitalizes.

Gia Minerals setting veil is perfect for blending makeup seamlessly and also creating depth, and an air brushed finish. Ultra fine, super soft texture enriched with certified organic green tea, jojoba, calendula and rosemary for a beautiful finish!

Riches is one of the most beautiful eye shadows I have ever seen! I love the gorgeous, glittery gold color. Made with mica, titanium dioxide and iron oxides, it’s free from talc, parabens or other skin irritants and is a great healthy choice!

Fantasia is a cool coral shadow that doubles as a beautiful lip gloss – just add your favorite balm! I love this color for a full eye or blended to create a warm or smokey look.

Then there’s the gorgeous Blue Moon. Don’t let the high pigment scare you. I recently blended this seamlessly into a smokey nighttime look and it was so perfect because it gives a natural highlight. The shimmer is out of a fairy tale and will definitely have all eyes on you!
Here is a recent look I did with Gia Minerals …

Statement pieces are one of my favorite parts of fashion. Sometimes I just love wearing something that’s striking no matter where I’m headed. We all have at least one eye catching piece that’s attractive, bold, unique and reflects who we are. It should make you feel comfortable, sexy and sought after. Although accessories are great for this, I love having at least one dress, romper and coat on hand that also serves this purpose. I love expressing myself through fashion! Putting together a beautiful outfit is incredibly easy with just one perfect piece.
Have you found a way to make your statement this summer?

Rocking my Limited Edition Stay Weird tee-shirt.
We launched the Stay Weird tees and sweatshirts a few months ago, and it’s been so fun to see people rocking theirs! They sold out fast, but you can grab yours for a limited time! Comfy, stylish and 5% of profits are donated to cancer research.
