JASCO Organics Mineral Makeup Giveaway
Click here for Natural Beauty Week Giveaways and more!
If you’ve never tried mineral makeup, then you’re missing out on the most fun you’ll ever have with your cosmetics bag. I ditched my conventional makeup over a year ago when I first had the opportunity to learn more about mineral makeup. I’ve been using a brand I was fairly happy with. Minimal ingredients, good coverage, good colors. But recently my cosmetics bag got another makeover, and boy, is it beautiful now. I’m not too bad looking either.
JASCO Organics has a fabulous line of mineral makeup that I’ve been using regularly over the past month. I’m in love with the coverage, the quality has been great; and the colors? Oh, the colors, baby! I told JASCO I wasn’t sure what colors I should go with, and they were very helpful. I’m really impressed with the eye-shadows as well, something I haven’t had the greatest of luck with in the past. The best part of JASCO Organics is what’s NOT in it. The ingredients are minimal, and you won’t find any lead, parabens, and other “unmentionables” found in almost every makeup at the department store counter. JASCO is even involved in the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics.
If you’d like to try some JASCO Organics Mineral Makeup for yourself, this may be your lucky day! JASCO is giving away a $93 set of mineral makeup to one dkMommy Spot reader. This set includes: 1 Mineral Foundation, 1 Bronzer, 1 Setting Powder, 1 Blush, 1 Eye-Shadow, 1 Kabuki Brush,and 1 Vegan Lipstick. The winner gets to choose all her own colors too. Won’t you look smashing, dahling?

I like the step-by-step instructions on how to use the mineral make-up and in what order.
August 26th, 2008 at 9:30 am
I like the Vegan lipsticks. I am addicted to lipsticks and having no animal by-products is a good thing!

I tried mineral make-up once before, and I think I know why I didn’t like it. I would put my moisturizer on and the instantly start putting the make up on, making it not go on nice well at all. It all makes sense, but seeing that in their list, “wait til moisturizer is dry to apply mineral make-up” sort of all comes full circle now. I’d love to try some again since my last set I gave to my sister.

I was rather surprised to learn that cosmetics are generally unregulated in the United States today! You would think otherwise! This makes me want to use organic cosmetics even more!!
Thanks for a great giveaway!
August 26th, 2008 at 9:51 am
I love the way JASCO Organics first give you use and application tips on using their products. That’s great for those of us who are not highly skilled make up artists. I also liked that they acknowledge that different computer monitors may show makeup colors differently. Thus they offer a sample kit so you can see first hand the colors of their products. You couldn’t be any more honest and up-front than that! I have not yet tried mineral makeup, and I think this would be the perfect opportunity! Thank you!
August 26th, 2008 at 10:06 am
Ive heard about this stuff! like to try it!
August 26th, 2008 at 10:08 am
I am all for organic cosmetics. I don’t need any added chemicials or whatevers to be on my face. We have to deal with enough pollutants when we walk out or door in the morning. I like the descriptions of the lotions. The Shine Healing Tea Lotion has sparked my interest and I think I might possibly order it and tell my husband it will make a great stocking stuffer!!LOL

I really liked the Balance Acne-Fighting Kit. I like products that don’t have a lot of chemicals and this one sounds like it would really fit a need I have. Thanks!

Love the stuff! Already use it, works great in hot humud weather! Doesnt run likenormal foundation does and covers great!
August 26th, 2008 at 11:52 am
I love mineral makeup, but I’m always looking for good brands. I didn’t know that the cosmetic industry wasn’t regulated by the FDA so they can put known carcinogens and toxins in there! I will definitely be more careful with what I buy!

August 26th, 2008 at 2:17 pm
I learned (or re-learned, I guess - since somebody told me this before) that the cosmestics industry here in the US is not tightly regulated, which means you should be very careful about where you buy your makeup!
August 26th, 2008 at 2:29 pm
Carmine can cause an allergic reaction. Good to know!

August 26th, 2008 at 5:30 pm
Thanks for this lovely giveaway. The step by step instructions are so helpful. Wonderful products that are so unique.
August 26th, 2008 at 5:37 pm
I would love to try mineral makeup! I like how they tell you to apply it in this manner: foundation,
bronzer, setting powder, eye shadow and blush. Please enter me in your delightful makeup drawing. Many thanks, Cindi
August 26th, 2008 at 5:38 pm
I like that they list all the ingredients on their products. It’s refreshing to be able to see everything that’s in the products I use.

I’ve been wanting to try mineral makeup and their Mineral Make-Up Starter Set would be a great start!
August 26th, 2008 at 6:01 pm
I am shocked to find out there is so little regulation of the cosmetic industry. Shudders! Cosmetics are so intimate that you just expect that “big brother” would be watching what is put into them. Glad to find a company that is so scrupulous. The Vanilla Lips Organic Lip Balm sounds so pleasant.
August 26th, 2008 at 6:05 pm
I love the step by step make up. Thanks for the giveaway!
August 26th, 2008 at 6:09 pm
I subscribed to your newsletter and went to check out the makeup..Wowzer! The eyeshadow colors are gorgeous! I have been wanting to try mineral makeup for a long time.
August 26th, 2008 at 6:24 pm
I would love to try out the mineral makeup because it is free of bismuth oxychloride and carmine (derived from beetles), which are often responsible for allergic reactions to mineral make-up.
I break out from certain makeups so I don’t wear it the majority of the time. My face will get blotchy and itch so to avoid that, I do without. I know I could benefit from covering up some age spots that have popped up in the last year.

I’m very interested in the Balance Acne-Fighting Kit. My skin will probably breakout forever unless I find some gentle but effective products :o)
August 26th, 2008 at 6:55 pm
I really like their step-by-step of applying make-up…I also like that it’s advice they give to everyone, not a pamphlet included with their order - which makes me want to order from them all the more! I admitt it, I’m an addict - I love mineral make-up, and am dying to try this line! Also, I’m a little worried now that I know how incredibly under-regulated the cosmetics industry is…Scary! So it gives me peace of mind knowing that JASCO belongs to the ‘Campaign for Safe Cosmetics,’ I’ll have to do more snooping around and see what I’m really putting on my face in the morning! Great giveaway with even better info, Thank you.

SERIOUSLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My make up has BEETLE junk in it?! How GROSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
August 26th, 2008 at 7:52 pm
“Our mineral make-up line is free of bismuth oxychloride and carmine (derived from beetles), which are often responsible for allergic reactions to mineral make-up.”
I am praying I haven’t been wearing beetles.
August 26th, 2008 at 7:52 pm
It’s interesting to know that you can make liquid foundation out of your powder by mixing it with your moisturizer, and then finishing powder on top. Acne treatment with natural and organic ingredients brings some assurance to people who are looking for a safe cure.
August 26th, 2008 at 8:01 pm
Vegan lipstick!! I just became vegan and want to transition my beauty products but can only afford to a little at a time…but maybe one lipstick won’t hurt! Also, beetle parts?? Ugh!!!!!!!!!!!
August 26th, 2008 at 8:15 pm
The Refine Eye Serum seems like something I need so bad! The last two years have aged my eyes after having a baby and taking care of a toddler now while being pregnant. Sheesh.

I have wanted to try mineral makeup for awhile, but the funds have just not been there. Years ago I heard some of the “unmentionables” that were in normal make-up and I’ve not been a fan since. I love how JASCO lists all of the ingredients that they use and the benefits of them…it’s nice to actually be able to recognize what’s going on my face!

August 26th, 2008 at 8:43 pm
I’d love to try some organic makeup and was really impressed by JASCO. I’m particularly interested in the Kabuki Brush and the ‘Fresh Look’ Eyeliner Pencil. Thanks!
August 26th, 2008 at 8:49 pm
I’ve never used mineral makeup so I thought it was interesting that different tones can be achieved with one color through layering or spreading. That the makeup won’t look thick if you put more on, just achieve a different tone. Thanks for the chance!
August 26th, 2008 at 8:53 pm
the Therapy Healing Balm looks fabulous!
August 26th, 2008 at 8:59 pm
I thought it was interesting about the apple cider vinegar: helps to maintain healthy skin and hair by restoring a healthy pH level. It soothes sunburn, cleanses and disinfects wounds, helps to heal bruises and soothes aches and pains. It is known to clear acne prone skin without drying out the skin and is equally effective in treating dry, flaky skin.

It was a shock to learn that cosmetics aren’t regulated in the U.S. With all the chemicals being put into so-called “beauty” products these days, you would think there would be stricter safety standards in place. I’ve never been much of a makeup person, partially because of all the chemicals in cosmetics. But this line may encourage me to give makeup a try

I’d love to try their acne treatment line. I also love the vegan lipstick and the “furry friends” products (even though there’s only one thing on there now…but I hope they come up with some in the future. I try to use natural products on my pets too. Found a flea powder made of rosemary and some other herbals.)
I didn’t know about the “beetle” stuff. I wonder if that’s why I’ve had problems with other mineral makeups before.
Anyway…thanks for offering this giveaway. I’d really like to try JASCO products. I subscribed to your feed via email too.

I love all those eyeshadow colors. I have not worn much eyeshadow in the last few years due to new wrinkles in my eyelids. Maybe these powders would be friendlier? Looks like beautiful stuff.
Thanks for having the giveaway!
August 26th, 2008 at 11:00 pm
Thank you SO much for offering this! I am a complete makeup junkie so I’d have a blast if I won this. The powders on the JASCO website look great. I have a hard time wearing powders or foundations much, because I either end up developing an awful rash or breaking out bigtime. I’m fortunate enough to not get pimples often, so it seems silly to wear foundation when you skin is clear and then have it CAUSE zits! Still, I like to use coverup to even out my skintone, so I’ve experimented with different brands looking for something that wouldn’t clog my pores so badly - or make my face burn!! I seem to have better luck with companies that use more natural ingredients, so I’d love to try this if I get a chance. Thanks for a fun post!

I like that they give you tips on how to apply the makeup. When I first started using mineral makeups it looked too thick. It was hard for me to get used to using such small amounts.
August 26th, 2008 at 11:32 pm
I like how they have the Biodegradable Doggie/Kitty Waste Bags. Those are really helpful with those of us that have animals that like to go to the park.
