By a woman, for the women in you!

The Who: 

Mineral Makeup by Monavé is makeup that you can trust. Full ingredient disclosure reveals a product line based in whole, organic botanical ingredients, and completely gluten-free formulas that are 95% vegan. Monavé has never engaged in animal testing, and chooses the highest quality mineral makeup ingredients, not simply for the press, but for the health and performance of the products. As always, all products are free of paraben preservatives, dyes, and bismuth oxychloride. Monave Mineral Makeup also believes that all women deserve high quality, natural makeup, so Monavé has a wide array of shades for all complexions, lifestyles and ages.

It is interesting that Monave never ever tests on animals and the only animal byproduct is beeswax, 95% of the products are vegan (like me!) and these are mineral natural products that are perfect for everyone!

Light Oil Control Humectant

Monave has come out with a lighter version of our oil-control humectant. This formula does not have shea butter in it, and has a light, gel consistency. It blends very well with our mineral foundation for use as a tinted moisturizer. As with our original formula, it provides gentle, effective oil control throughout the day, helping to balance the skin's oil production, without drying it out. Natural botanicals delicately incorporated using a handmade process to ensure the best quality.

I absolutely loved the scent, quality and texture of this product. Was entirely easy to use, smelled absolutely brilliant and it was entirely nice to know that this was naturally created and was doing wonders for my oily face. Dab on after cleansing your face or mix with your liquid foundation and it does a brilliant job keeping your makeup on and fighting the oils away.

Monave Lip Crayon

We've all lined our lips and then filled them in with lip pencil instead of gloss or lipstick...so we decided to make it easier! Monave lip crayons are chubby, cute, and incredibly silky on. Our pure, botanical formula is 100% vegan, and glides over lips, moisturizing with amazing stay-put color. Each crayon is handcrafted, and the black casing can be sharpened with our deluxe silver sharpener.

I absolutely loved how adorable this lip crayon looked and really wanted to try it! It was entirely as comfortable and simple as it looked and showed beautifully on my skin tone and lip. Felt most natural and light weight. These are being phased out now and they will re-introduce this in the future and I really hope everyone gets their hands on one when brought back into the market!

Eyeliner:

Monave eye liners are handcrafted with natural plant products and our signature mineral blends. The base of jojoba and natural waxes yields a wonderfully creamy texture that wears all day without smudging. No more pulling on the lids to spread the color.

This was absolutely my favorite product in the range of Monave products, it was absolutely silky and soft and applied absolutely awesomely on my eyes without any effort or trouble whatsoever. One of those essential eyeliners that I'd take with me anywhere, and comes in a whole array of colors.

I think this was a product that stood out for its packaging, its ease of use and its economy in price!

Blush Brush

Monave's Blush brush now features luxurious nylon hair. The shape and size of the brush is identical to the photo, the difference is the super-soft synthetic Light Gold bristles. I absolutely loved how soft it was and how well it worked as a blush brush. Yet another product made absolutely well and with the right principles!

Rosemary Lavender Shampoo and Conditioner

This shampoo and conditioner is lightly foaming and completely plant based. This definitely works with all hair types which is amazing and I absolutely loved how squeaky clean my hair felt and more, how soft and effortless and soft it also left my hair. It was also most amazing with my curly hair, it helped to detangle the problems with my hair and it kept the curls well and bouncy.

I used the conditioner after using the shampoo and the smell was a nice natural smell that lingered on my hair and felt very very natural.

Overall, an excellent set of products from Monave, I personally recommend it because it's vegan and the principles are ones I align with and it's most perfect for our everyday needs. If it's owned by a woman, (the lovely Deborah Dilezikian,) I doubt it can go wrong. 

Go Monave!
