Joppa Minerals Haul

One reason I don't purchase much MMU, is not because I don't like them. I am proud to say I am one of those few who purchased Bare Escentuals and I've been watching their DVDs again and again til I got my own "Swirl, Tap and Buff" moments. Trust me, it made my morning!!! :D

I haven't been buying any MMUs online as I am a "5 senses" person. I'd rather buy things, I see, I touch, I smell, I feel and funny to say, but the Hearing works as well! I'd love feedbacks from people I shop with. <-- you think I won't be able to explain this huh? lol

Anyways, that's where e/s samplers and blush samplers are handy! I know, I'm late, I'm a late MMU addict! But it's better late than never right?

I made my first order from Joppa Minerals when I saw a post from Nanzy of Shizznizzle, since I am starting to love blushes, and she kept on raving about their blushes, I gotta try! I am not strong when it comes to temptation!!!
Here's my package just roughly after a week!!!


My Blush/Bronzer Sampler Eye Shadow Sampler Plus Free Joppa Lotion


Let me lay it down neatly for you! :) 54pcs e/s sampler






Here's my 22pcs Blush/Bronzer Samples



I just randomly swatched blushes that caught my attention
(NO BASE, just one swipe)


L-R Just Blushed, Sunkissed, Raspberry Ice and Tickle me Pink

I've transferred some samples to my PINK pots!
It is indeed addictive and I transferred the Joppa Stickers as well!




How do I feel about my first MMU samplers haul?

I am impressed with the shipping,
I am impressed with the colors and the quality!
Will I repurchase?
uhhh...ahh...ooohhh... YES...lol

  3. Oh my god, 54 eyeshadow sampler ? That's alot, so you couldn't choose the colors since it's sampler ? cuz I see so many brown tone..you don't have to buy any pigments for while. I wanna see how other eyeshadow comes out on your eyes. Great Haul Ate Nikki :P

  16. Neat haul! Sample bags of pigments are really more than enough for just one person to use. I think I have about 100 colors all in sample bags and I never run out. Never! Ooh! The blush look very very promising! I've never been too keen with mineral blush though. Look forward to see how the blush works out for you.

  18. Cinthia, I have never bought much samples or MMUs before because of shipping, since Joppa waived it just for a couple of days, there's nothing to lose then! :)

    The blushes are indeed pretty, I have to test on their staying power though! So give me sometime, I'll report back to you! :P

    Digital Angel, it is 54pcs samples, ALL the colors that Joppa has, they have it all on samples..yes, meaning all the browns and neutrals! LOL I can't ask them to remove that :) I've been using it too for quite sometime, it looks ok :) Have to get myself used to MMUs :)

    Blu, so true! I think samples will last me for long, especially with all those colors! I don't think I will get to have same color combination for a month! hahaha

    MieMieMie, yup focus ka muna on coming back home! :P

    B, welcome back pretty girl!

    Melvel, yes i did! :) Tell me when you received yours, it gets too confusing! hahaha

    Parisb, same here! That's why I bought those pink containers! I get too clumsy with sample baggies!

  19. Nanzy, you are enabling everyone! even in Indonesia! hehehe

    Roxy, so true, you can't ask for more with MMUs! I bought those pink containers at Local store here called Landmark :)

    Trangster, I will definitely do looks with these, how's schooL?

    Sab, only buy when they're on free international shipping! I think i posted about them when they had this free global shipping! I'll let you know again, I wouldn't buy any because of the shipping rates too!!!!

    Prettybeautiful, sit back and relax? LOL Now I'm pressured!

    Alyssa, are you into minerals too?

    Nanzy, I believe we're tying to enabler each other! The revenge of the enablers!

    Connie, I am never too keen on blushes too until a couple of months ago. Now Now, I want to test them all but I've only got left and right cheeks! LOL

    Purple Snowflake, I honestly do not have any idea where I could buy those empty tins too!!!! Tell me how the pressed pigments go. I believe having them pressed really is better, but I just am too lazy doing those!

  21. Wow, so happy you finally crossed over and tried MMU! Amazing haul! Doesn't it feel like Christmas in September (or August) when you got your package? Better late than never girl! So happy for you and don't forget to post your FOTDs using these. :)

  23. You know what always annoyed me with samples.. the bags that in comes in. It's so annoying trying to get the product out! =(

    ReplyDelete
  24. Wow, sis! These look a great MMU haul! I barely use mine as I find it quite difficult to use. However, I've been trying my Taylor Made MMU during our summer holiday and I actually enjoyed putting them on. I'd definitely wear them whenever I've got plenty of time to get ready :)

  25. hey, quick Q, can you order free samples even if you aren't based in the US? thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  26. Vanessa, yes, it is messy! Trust me, I messed up many times! LOL I am so clumsy good thing I had them in pots...do you know just yesterday, I had them all fell on the floor with huge "crash" sound, good thing the pots are strong! NO cracks! *wipes forehead* Whew!

    Aileen, thanks girl, I always look back to your blog for "advice" on MMUs :) thanks dear! I will try to create looks soon!

    Gio, I do like them, but too early to tell, I may get tired , who knows? Or I may get even more addicted..we'll see! :D

    Katy, me too! I wanted to buy more pots! I don't want them in baggies to be honest!

    Gracie, MMU is addictive for me, coz I got so hypnotized by the SWIRL, TAP and BUFF! LOL Even e/s i do that! LOL Embarrassing but true!

    Caryn, yes, most MMU companies ship internationally, but some are just too expensive, so you have to check first on their shipping policy before you click the BUY button. I also take advantage of their sale period at times, or better..FREE SHIPPING! :D Welcome to my blog by the way :) Nice to see you here
