Cowgirl Dirt Natural Cosmetics {review}

 

I didn't use to wear make-up.

 

 In fact, the concept is really still very new to me.

I first started wearing some light concealer and foundation last year, to help with covering the acne when I was out in public. Truth is, that's really all I will do most days when I go out.

 

I've always believed that God has given us gals natural beauty that doesn't require make-up to enhance it. We were made in His image, after all! And His design of the human body/face is certainly nothing to be ashamed of/want to cover over with excessive amounts of cosmetic products.

 

That being said, I have indeed come to enjoy using light amounts of make-up for special occasions and such. Notice I said *light* amounts. I can't stand to see when women and girls pile on the stuff like it's sunscreen!

 

So I just wanted to clarify that, for anyone who wondered.

 

Anyway, today I'm reviewing some NATURAL cosmetic items from Cowgirl Dirt. As most of y'all know, I'm a huge supporter of anything natural, homemade or organic. So I was pretty excited to find this company. So many big cosmetics companies today use ingredients which are harmful and even toxic.

 

The samples came in a cute burlap-sack style pouch.

 

I was sent samples of these products:

• Wild West Blush, in "Ponderosa" and "Buckle"
• Dusty Bronzer in "Arena"
• Eye Shadow in "Rhinestone", "Alfalfa", "Barnwood", "High Ho Silver"
• Southern Belle Cream Foundation "Warm, 4"
• Silverado Cream Eye Shadow in "Milk Jar"

 

Both blushes were nice. I personally don't know much about application of blush as I've only just started using it. I like it because it can give a somewhat vintage/retro look. "Ponderosa" is slightly darker than "Buckle" in hue. Both are lovely, relatively mild blush colors. They're easy to apply, also.

 

The "Arena" bronzer is a nice shade as well. It takes some practice to blend it just write, but that's what foundation is for...at least, as far as I know anyway!

 

My favorite of the eyeshadows is "Rhinestone". It's a very light, shimmery powder/sky blue and I think it's a great color for eyeshadow. It doesn't make you look overly dramatic or vampire-like, as some shadows tend to do.

It's more of just a fun, mild hue for when you want to add a little shimmer but not go overboard on the color.

 

The cream foundation is very easy to apply. Cowgirl Dirt offers it in multiple shades, to match each person's skin best. I got in it "Warm, 4" and it seems to match my somewhat-tan/sunkissed skin.  

 

Overall, it looks like Cowgirl Dirt makes some great, high quality products. And they're made in the USA! Love to support home-country based businesses.

I'm glad to know that when I put on this makeup, it's not riddled with junk and chemicals.

 

I definitely recommend checking out the shop for yourself. You can get samples of your own for just 99 cents each! And if you're already a make-up user, why not support a locally owned business?

 

Note: I was sent these products from Cowgirl Dirt in exchange for my honest review.
