Men's Bath & Body

It can sometimes be so hard to find great smelling bath & body products for men. But look no further!



Knight's Soap on a Rope is great in any fragrance...for men, women, or children!

Knight's After-Shave Gel is a wonderfully fragrant aftershave.

These along with the Moonmist Shower Gels, Moonmist Shampoos, Moonmist Conditioners, Smelly Jelly, Carpet Sprinkles, etc can be ordered in the "manly" scents of

• Acqua Di Gio (type)
• Cool Water (type)
• Drakkar (type)
• Hugo Boss (type)
• Hummer (type)
• Patchouli
• Sandalwood
• Very Sexy for Men (type)
  
  

Maiden's Soothing After Shave Gel

Maiden's Soothing After Shave Gel is another great multi-purpose product. This product contains Aloe Vera Gel, alcohol, glycerin, witch hazel, fragrance or Essential oil, coloring. Not only does it make a great aftershave to help soothe your skin after shaving, ladies, it also makes a great shave gel. When ordered with essential oils instead of fragrance oils, it makes a great facial moisturizer (my own skin feels great!)!

Multi-Use Products

I have always loved products that have multiple uses. A product having multiple uses not only helps save money, it helps save space. And that is exactly what you get with the Carpet Sprinkles from Enchanted Potions. This product is made from Sodium Bicarbonate (fancy name for baking soda) and fragrance/essential oil. That's it. Two little ingredients. But with so many uses.

This product can be used, as the name implies, as a carpet sprinkle. Just lightly dust onto carpets, leave sit for a few minutes, and vacuum up. You will be left with a light, refreshing scent.

Another use for around the home is an all-purpose cleaner. Simply mix 1/4 cup of white vinager with 1 quart of water. Slowly add this to 2 tablespoons of the Carpet Sprinkle. This will bubble and fizz a little. When the bubbling stops, pour into a spray bottle, and use as any other cleaner.

The Carpet Sprinkle also works as a great laundry booster. Add 1 - 2 tablespoons to your washing maching with your regular laundry detergent. You will be left with clothes that have a light, lingering scent. You can also pair this up with a Dryer Sachet in the same scent.

Along with helping with household odors, the Carpet Sprinkle can also multi-purpose for pampering yourself. Use it as a foot soak by dissolving 1/2 cup of the Carpet Sprinkle in 1 gallon of warm water in your foot bath.

And yet another use, when ordering the Carpet Sprinkle with an essential oil instead of fragrance oil, you can use it as an exfoliate for your face. Mix 1 tablespoon of the Carpet Sprinkle with 1-1/2 teaspoons of water, and gently rub in circular motions on your face. Rinse well. Note, this is not recommended on sensitive skin, and only use on skin if ordering in essential oil fragrances.

Gluten Free

****The information contained herein was written by Affordable Mineral Makeup™ for use of educating the general public as well as Affordable Mineral Makeup™ clients. This article may be redistributed as long as all information remains the same and a link and credits goes back to Affordable Mineral Makeup™ and contains live link to: http://basicmineralmakeup.com/general-information/gluten-free.php****

I bet when you hear the term “Gluten Free”, you don’t automatically think of your makeup, do you?  Well, if you’re gluten sensitive you may want to. Makeup can have gluten in it.

What is gluten sensitivity?

The symptoms are usually skin rashes, itchiness, headaches, bloating/cramping. Gluten is very hard to digest and can be found in wheat, rye, barley and oats.
Gluten can be found in your makeup and other beauty products in the Vitamin E, Olive Oil, Palm Oil, Coconut Oil, Oats and Triglycerides are all sources of gluten that most people wouldn’t think about when purchasing makeup and body products.
Vitamin E is used as an antioxidant and is usually derived from wheat germ. Products that contain oils in them are usually preserved with Vitamin E to prevent them from going rancid. They can also be hidden in such oils as Olive Oil, Palm Oil and Coconut Oil.

Oats are another common ingredient commonly used in beauty products, such as soap and facial products.

If you are gluten sensitive you need to be aware of these ingredients that most people may overlook in cosmetics or body products.

There’s no definitive information regarding cosmetics, body products being harmful to those who are gluten sensitive but think about this…your skin is the largest organ of your body. It usually absorbs what you put on it and thus goes into your body system. So, that would suggest that if you’re gluten sensitive you might have reactions (skin rash/itchiness) from products that contain gluten additives.

Mineral makeup that has no additives,oils and is in loose powder form is gluten free, such as the minerals offered at AffordableMineralMakeup.com

2 New Shades of Affordable Mineral Makeup™

Affordable Mineral Makeup™ has 2 new shades of multipurpose minerals!

Violet is a pearlescent soft sheer shade.  Can apply wet to make it even brighter.

Lace is a light dainty pearlescent pink. Great for eyes.  Can apply wet to make it even brighter.

Each shade is available in 9 different sizes!

Avoid Contaminating Mineral Makeup

   Many of us have heard the claim that mineral makeup has an indefinate shelf-life.  This can be true for those mineral makeups, such as Affordable Mineral Makeup™, that only use inert minerals.  But introducing bateria to your mineral makeup can be done unintentionally.  You can help avoid this by doing a few simple things.

• Never touch your minerals in their container.  If you must use your fingers to apply, tap a small amount of the minerals onto something else (a plate, a pallate, etc).  Touching the minerals in the container and introduce oils from your hand into the mix, which may harbor bacteria.
• If you are applying your mineral makeup wet, then again tap a small amount onto something else.  Then either wet your brush and dip into this small amount or mix a small amount of water into it.  Do not add wet minerals back into the same container.  If you have tapped out too much and already touched your wet brush to the minerals, you can put these minerals in a seperate container (Affordable Mineral Makeup™ offers empty jars that work good for this purpose).
• Clean your brushes regularly!  Dirty brushes can contain oils and dirt from your skin, and are great places for nasty bacteria to hide. 

January Scent of the Month

Make sure to check out the Scent of the Month at Enchanted Potions!  Each scent of the month will only be available during that month.

Chocolate Lovers is the new Scent of the Month for the month of January.

But this is no ordinary chocolate scent.  Chocolate Lovers is a fusion of Lemon, Orange, Bergamot, Mandarin, Lily of the Valley, and Coriander; emerged with notes of sweet chocolate, warm vanilla, and musk.  It is a soft, sweet, floral, chocolate blend. 

Be sure to get your favorite Enchanted Potions products in this scent before it's gone.  Chocolate Lovers is only available January 1st to January 31st!    

Custom Scents

In addition to the listed scents at Enchanted Potions, you can also create your own unique scent combinations!  So the scent options are endless!  Just a few scents that have been suggested from other distributors and customers include

• Blueberry with Vanilla
• Blackberry with Vanilla
• Banana with Coconut
• Lavender with Vanilla
• Lavender with Rose
• Chocolate with Strawberry
• Chocolate with Banana
• Strawberry with Vanilla
• Rose, Lilac, Jasmine, Orange, and Vanilla
• Lavender and Chamomile

Why Enchated Potion's Lotions?

Enchanted Potions Lotion Vs. Many Name Brand Lotions

So what is the difference and why purchase Enchanted Potions lotion when you can buy lotion locally and get it quicker? Your body will thank you, that’s why! Many name brand lotions sold in department stores contain Mineral Oil. Mineral Oil is petroleum based (think crude oil you put in your car).  Do you really want that on your skin? The mineral oil is why your favorite lotion feels so greasy on your skin.  The greasier it is, the more mineral oil it contains. Our lotion contains Vegetable and nut oils that are friendly to your skin. They are nourishing to your skin and you won’t feel that greasy residue because your skin will absorb these oils and actually use them to help your skin, not just hide the dryness problem.

Check out all the lotions, with their ingredients and available scents here.

Bismuth Oxychloride In Mineral Makeup

Several mineral makeups list Bismuth Oxychlroride as an ingredient. While Bismuth does occur naturally in the Earth (and chemically resembles Arsenic), it isn't economical to mine it. To make meet the demands for it, it is created as a by-product from refining lead and copper. The Bismuth then undergoes processes to become Bismuth Chloride. Neither the Bismuth nor the Bismuth Chloride is safe to use. It then undergoes even more processes before becoming Bismuth Oxychloride. Therefore, it is not a natural ingredient. Other reasons to stay away from this ingredient:

• It can clog your pores
• It is known to irritate your skin
• Can cause cystic acne
  

Opinions

I just wanted to state that any opinions on this blog are solely my own.

Ingredients to Avoid

When choosing a mineral makeup, there are several ingredients you should avoid, especially if you have sensitive skin. These ingredients include:

• Bismuth Oxychloride
• Talc
• Parabens
• Petrolatum Based Oils
• Cornstarch
• Ferric Ferrocyanide
• BHA
• BHT
• Triethanolamine
• Rice Powder

We will take a more detailed look at these ingredients later on.

Cleaning Makeup Brushes

When it comes to applying makeup, using clean brushes is very important. Dead skin cells and oils from your skin clinging to the bristles, along with makeup build-up, can shorten the life of your brushes. Dirty brushes can also harbor bacteria.

You can easily and inexpensively clean your brushes.

1. Dampen the bristles with warm water.
2. Add 1-2 drops of baby shampoo or a gentle facial cleanser. Work into a later.
3. Rinse the bristles thoroughly with warm water.
4. Blot with a towel and shape the bristles into their original shape.
5. Lay flat on towel and allow to air-dry.

Please remember to keep your brushes flat when cleaning them. Never point the handle down. Doing so can cause the water to loosen the glue on the handle.

Lip Care

Just like the rest of your body, your lips need TLC too. Whether you are a fan of lipsticks, tints, balms, glosses, or nothing at all, you can easily keep your lips looking and feeling great.

Exfoliating your lips removes dry cells, making your lips smoother. You can do this by gently massaging your lips with warm water and a very soft toothbrush. Or you can make a simple paste with brown sugar and a few drops of water. Gently massage the paste onto your lips, then rinse with plain water.

Keep your lips moisturized. After exfoliating, apply a thin layer of a light lip balm. I also like to use Vitamin E oil. No lip balm or Vitamin E oil? I have been known to use a light layer of olive oil when I'm out of them.

Your lips will not only look better, they will feel better.

My Basics

Some days I just don't feel like dealing with my makeup at all, but I don't want to face the world with a "naked face." On these days I use what I consider my basics...foundation, blush, mascara, and lip balm.

After applying my foundation, I apply my blush as normal. Then I use my blush to give just a hint of colors on my eyes. I follow up with a swipe of masacra on my lashes. Then end with applying lip balm.

I personally use Light Beige Foundation, Cool Kiss Blush, Chocolate Brown Mascara.

New to mineral makeup? The "basics" are a good starting point to try out mineral makeup!

Skin care

When it comes to your face, your makeup can only do so much. Proper skin care is very important.

1. Always wash your face with a mild soap or facial wash. My favorite to use on my face is baby bath. Not only is it mild, it gets all of the dirt and makeup off.
2. Exfoliate a few times a week to remove dead skin. There are many products out there you can buy for this purpose, but I like to get mine right out of my kitchen. I mix a bit of baking soda (just a tiny bit will do) with my face cleaner, then use as I normally would.
3. Tone. Again, there are many toners available to buy, but again, I get mine right from my kitchen. I fill a small bottle with half water and half Apple Cidar Vinegar. Then apply as any other toner. I have also grated a cucumber then used the juice as a toner, and like that as well.
4. Moisturize. Although there are many, many, many choices at the store, I choose to save my money. I instead invest in many aloe vera plants. I just cut off a leaf and use that in place of moisturizer. In my opinion, it works better than pricey moisturizers. If you can't find any aloe plants anywhere, you can get a bottle of aloe from your local health food store.
5. Using a mask once or twice a week also helps. There are masks available, depending on your skin type. I have sensitive and acne prone skin. One "mask" I have found that works for me is plain honey. Yep, the kind you buy at the grocery store. I just warm it a bit, then apply to my face, then rinse off after 15-20 minutes.

It can seem like a lot, but the only things you need to do every day (morning and night) is cleanse, tone, and moisturize. Once you get into a routine of doing it, it will take all of 5 minutes to do. When doing the mask, whichever you decide on, do something relaxing for yourself for those 15 or so minutes, like read, or watch your favorite television show.

We also offer refills bags for for each sized container. In addition, we also offer a Sample Size for those times when you want to try a shade before buying!

Containers are often made based on volume, not weight. For example: the 1 gram jars are sold to us as 5 gram jars because most products that are sold in them weigh more than mineral makeup. We won't tell you or insinuate that we're giving you 5 grams of mineral makeup just because it's in a 5-gram jar. Everything is based on product weight.Some minerals weigh more than others, this is why we hand-fill and weigh every jar.

Defense Primer

Affordable Mineral Makeup's Defense Primer is a lightweight, translucent powder that gives you a fresh "canvas" to work on. It helps minimize the appearance of pores and fine facial lines. Primer also helps foundation, blush, and shadow last longer. It also acts as a defense against the daily stress of the environment.

Apply the primer before applying concealer and foundation to have a smoother finer area to apply the rest of your Affordable Mineral Makeup.

Ingredients: Mica, Boron Nitride, Methicone, Silica Spheres, Titanium Dioxide

Available in 9 different sizes!
