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.

i love mineral makeup and like to support the smaller, indie retailer, so this looks like a good place to look. i like the deeper eyeshadow shades she carries too! cheers vera
I really need to learn about Mineral Makeup, would love to try it, I guess it’s a case of needing to teach an old dog a new trick .. lol
Here’s a tip I’ve learned from JASCO Organics — 5. If you don’t like the feel of powder foundation, have very dry skin or notice powder foundation accumulating in small wrinkles, try mixing a small amount of powder with a small amount of your favorite moisturizer and apply like liquid foundation. Apply finishing powder for a matte look.
I like that all their ingredients are all natural.
As I get older (!) I appreciate anything that is more natural, with less chemicals. I love the idea of the Silk Honey Rose Moisturizer.
I could really use some of the therapy line! The sea salt bath looks heavenly!
Bookmarked this and the JASCO sites.Been veg for over 30 years,so this is great.I couldn’t find what the brush was made of tho.Would ruin the idea of humane cosmetics if brush was animal hair.
1. Always cleanse and dry face thoroughly before applying mineral make-up. If you use a moisturizer, allow plenty of time for absorption prior to application of make-up.
This is what I am doing wrong, always in a rush!

SO MANY THINGS TO LOVE!!!! I’ve been wanting to switch over to mineral makeup but the budget won’t allow it yet. Love that they offer body products; love that they tell you how to use it; love that they offer sample KITS; LOVE that they are involved with the SKIN DEEP company–the database through which I have run all of the products in our home over the summer–lots of purging and replacing!! Thanks for the chance to win!

This is just what I need!
The Therapy Sea Salt Bath is for me! Thanks for the chance to win your great giveaway!

Vegan lipsticks are a great idea. Can’t wait to try one!
I am always worried about the ingredients in makeup, so this sounds like a wonderful company! I would really love to try the sea salts from around the world!
I haven’t tried mineral make-up but I’d like to. I like the eye shadow colors.
I would love to try the Remove Make-Up Remover.
I learned that foundation should be applied with a high quality Kabuki Brush in a swirling motion.
I like the fact that JASCO requires their suppliers to sign agreements against animal testing and most are family owned and operated businesses.
love the sample kits
I would love to try the therapy healing balm for my stretch marks! Gog knows I could use it! Love the site!
What I like most is their campaign for safe cosmetics – they’re safe and good for our health! That’s just great and that’s the way to go!
I did not know that there was such a thing as Vegan lipstick.. Interesting
I’d love to try the therapy healing balm !!
I was impressed with the eyeshadow colors. I’m shopping for the right mineral makeup for me. Thanks!
I’ve really wanted to try mineral makeup…I love the idea of organic makeup that’s natural looking…thanks!
I like the following quote I found on the site: ‘It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society’ – Jiddu Krishnamurti
I also like the fact that a minimum of 5% of their sales is donated to environmental foundations.
i really want to try the balance acne fighting kit. it seems the older i get the worse my skin gets instead of better
What I like about the site is it made me really want to try everything and isn’t that what a site should try to do? Mission accomplished.
The suggestion to try mixing a small amount of powder with a small amount of your favorite moisturizer and apply like liquid foundation is a great one. I never thought of that.
I was reading about the makeup, specifically the vegan lipstick, and saw that lead has been found in lipsticks. I didn’t know that, eek!
I’d like to try the Balance Acne Fighting Kit. If it’s that expensive it’s got to work, right?
I would like to try the JASCO Organics Natural Bar Soap with certified organic ingredients
I am impressed that they offer sample kits. That is great for those of us who like to try products first.
I haven’t tried mineral make-up, I’d like to.
like that they campaign for safe cosmetics. Thanks
I am enamored by the idea of mineral makeup, but haven’t yet made the leap. It’s all of what cosmetics should be: good for your skin and it looks good, too!
I’d like to try some acne treatment (for me and my daughter) and I have always wanted to try mineral makeup, but I can never spend money like that on myself!!!
I love the therapy healing balm. Needed in our house!
I have never had the pleasure of trying any mineral makeup brand so nothing to compare this to, but I did learn a tip on this site that I know I will always remember once I do start using mineral makeup:
5. If you don’t like the feel of powder foundation, have very dry skin or notice powder foundation accumulating in small wrinkles, try mixing a small amount of powder with a small amount of your favorite moisturizer and apply like liquid foundation. Apply finishing powder for a matte look
Thanks, I learned something I didn’t know!
I love the idea that it is an eco-friendly company. I’ve just recently switched to mineral make-up and love it. I would love to win this prize. My skin seems sp much healthier now that I have switched.
I love the idea of of bathing in the Therapy Sea Salts!

I will be 40 in a few days–I need all the minerals I can get! Really would love to try this make up.
I’d love to try the JASCO Organics ‘Sunkissed Complexion’ Bronzer.
This is probably going to seem ridiculous but I was shocked when I read this. Apply your mineral make-up in the following order: foundation, bronzer, setting powder, eye shadow and blush. I have never in my life put my blush on last. What the heck? I do my eyes last and lips. That is amazing to me for some reason. You’re probably just thinking, whatever, she’s weird.
I’m a subscriber too.
I like the step by step instructions so I won;t get overwhelmed. thanks!
I use Bare Minerals and have for years. I love using natural mineral make-up. However! I wuold love to find something comparable that is more affordable, and it seems like JASCO Organics fit the bill.
