kawaii Overdose Minerals

Kawaii means "cute" in Japanese.

I learned about these minerals via YouTube.

I was excited to try because they appeared so pigmented on video.




I purchased them from thecuteysakura's website.

Pros:
- Highly Pigmented
- Micronized Minerals
- 100% free of oil, talc and alcohol,and perfume.
- Can be used dry, or wet and also as liners!

Cons:
- Not sure if I really got 5grams., (do minerals weigh MORE than regular e/s?)
- Shipping was EXORBITANT, considering I paid $10 & the USPS cost of mailing was less that $2.(Odd, since we reside in the same state) I would have preferred it be called a "Processing & Handling" fee. If you care to give it a try, go for it. Maybe you will have a different experience. CAVEAT EMPTOR
