Scared About Ordering Cosmetics Online?

I know it can be scary to purchase cosmetics online. For me, the worst was ordering foundation and concealer. Before I started Mendocino Minerals, I honestly ONLY ordered online if I had already tried the products. No matter where you live, we have many great ways to overcome any fears you have purchasing our products. We are currently in many salons and day spas where you can sample the products and get professional product and application advice. Our BIG news is that we have even more options!!

We now have an Online Consultation Program to relieve your online worries, with an introductory rate of $50 which may be applied to your purchase. Plus, there is a 14-day money back guarantee or exchange for another foundation color if you are unsatisfied with the color you receive. You simply fill out a short online questionnaire and send us some photos, and within 24 hours you will receive an email for the best products, colors, and application techniques specifically designed for you. This was my dream when I wanted to try certain products and was far away from any places that carried them. In addition, you can visit our model page to guide you in finding the best colors for your foundation and concealer, and it also gives fun looks and application tips. If you are just interested in finding your foundation match, we offer a generous foundation sample for only a penny.

And more consultation fun: we now have a wonderful Sonoma County Personal Consultant. Leslie Camarri can be reached at leslie@MeltingTouch.com, and is currently offering free personal consults and makeup lessons in the Santa Rosa area. She is also available for hosting MM parties in the Sonoma County area. Interested in becoming a consultant like Leslie? Please contact us at info@mendominerals.com .

Leslie is also our gorgeous model demonstrating a great daytime look. One of my favorite new ideas about this look is the layering of the lip gloss colors for an entire new color. Please see our model page and color guide for more information on her colors. Makeup by Marianella Brey, Mantras. Photography by Tammie Gilchrist.
