Which bronzed look are YOU going for?

Bronzed?Alima Pure's Bronzed glow

Bronzing your skin when you are at your February-palest can be tricky territory–you don’t want to end up like the woman on the left! But with Alima Pure’s mineral Bronzer, you never need to worry about being orange or obvious, and can count on a natural, healthy bronzed glow like the woman on the right.

With five shades that work for skin ranging from über-light to delightfully deep, Alima Pure has a bronzer that will work for you. If you are on the lightest end of the spectrum, Maracaibo is the bronzer of your dreams…the first bronzer that won’t make you look orange or dirty, with just enough color to give you a healthy glow. For those with skin from light to medium, Mauna Loa is the matte option, or Belize for a touch more sun and a hint of shimmer. And for deeper skin tones, Trinidad is the matte choice, while Seychelles adds a touch of sparkle.

Keep your bronzer looking natural by applying it with our #23 Kitten Brush.  Dust the bronzer on the places that the sun touches first; the cheekbones, bridge of the nose, forehead, even the decolletage.  To make it more authentic, add a bit of a Satin Matte Blush in a brighter shade (for your complexion) on the apples of the cheeks.

Alima Pure Bronzers are 20% off until February 27 at 2pm PST.  Stock up now to keep your look naturally bronzed through spring and summer!

The Right Tool for the Job:
#15 Flat Top Brush

#15 Flat Top BrushAre you a younger sibling, or do you have a younger sibling who feels that they have grown up in the shadow of an older sibling, constantly compared and never quite measuring up? Then surely you can sympathize with our #15 Flat-Top Foundation Brush.

No doubt about it, the #25 Foundation Brush is a tool to be reckoned with.  As Alima Pure’s first foundation brush, it gives the most natural-looking mineral foundation application we’ve ever seen, and does it without leaving behind a trace of irritation. But little sister (the #15) has her own set of skills and talents, and it’s time she was recognized for them!

Sugar Plum Lipbalm: You asked, we listened.

Alima Pure's Sugar Plum Organic Nourishing Lipbalm

During December, we offered a special, limited edition Organic Nourishing Lipbalm with purchases over $50.  Sugar Plum was a huge hit, it seemed to be a new favorite for just about everyone who was lucky enough to try one.  The plum with a hint of brown and just a touch of shimmer was perfect for many complexions.  We received many requests to make it a permanent part of our lipbalm line-up.

That seemed like a reasonable request, so starting today, you can now purchase Sugar Plum lipbalm year ’round.  And to celebrate, we have priced it at an introductory $5 from now through January 30.

Welcome to the family, Sugar Plum!

The Right Tool for the Job: #3 Concealer Brush

#3 Brush in action Designed for concealing larger areas (rather than tiny blemishes), the Alima Pure #3 Concealer brush is shaped much like a brush that you would use to apply liquid foundation, but it is about 1/2 the size of those brushes. This style of brush distributes a heavier layer of foundation than our #25 Foundation Brush, so if you just need extra coverage, you can use your regular foundation with this brush. It also works with our Concealer if you need very opaque coverage.

Glam it up with a little Holiday Glow!

Holiday Glow This week Alima Pure has a special on three of our Luminous Shimmer Powders (your choice of Lumina, Sorbet or Dolce) and the amazing #21 Buff Brush for only $25. This great value makes a great gift and is also a fun way to treat yourself, but how exactly do you use a shimmer powder?

During the holidays, it is fun to add a bit of glam to your regular look with a touch of shimmer on the tops of the cheekbones or under the brow bone. If confined to these two areas, there is no reason you can’t wear shimmer powder during the day.

Just a little spritz!

The Alima Pure Atomizer It may sound a little silly at first, why would anyone want a little spray bottle for water?  But if you are a devoted Alima Pure wearer, you probably already know…it is not silly at all!  Our atomizer can be very handy when you are applying your makeup.

When you are applying your foundation (in several sheer layers, of course), sometimes it can start to look a little dry, especially when the weather is changing as it is in many places right now.  Mist your face very lightly with the atomizer and allow the mist to air dry.  Suddenly what looked a little dry looks a little dewy and very natural.  As an added bonus, it will also wear a bit longer.  If you still want more coverage, it is perfectly acceptable to apply more foundation after your mist has dried.
