I'm honored to have Alima as our sponsor...I'm just so happy they are vegan (except for their lip balm, which has beeswax in it - just look out for that) ...and that they work so well! All of their products, besides the lip balm, are super vegan and great! Check out what Vamps makeup artist Kimberly Jones says about Alima:
"It's really nice quality, better than many regular cosmetic lines. I love the pigmentation, depth, quality of color, saturation, and intensity. And I love how the skin looks - very fresh."
Kim is using the mimosa blush and raven eyeshadow on me. Chai is also very pretty!

Simple lines, glam metallics, asymmetrical structure, luxe sportswear, industrial details that are both strong and pretty"¦. Fall 2010 is shaping up to be quite a fashion season and the key to every trend is perfect tailoring.
Even if you can't afford to fill your closet with all the latest designer looks, you can afford the very best Fall 2010 Eye Color Collection – "Perfectly Tailored" by Alima Pure. This collection is $25, with $2 going to the Global Fund for Women. (It is a $40 value.)
Like all Alima Pure Mineral Makeup, each of these shadows is made only from pure, cosmetic-grade minerals with no talc, bismuth oxychloride, carmine or other dyes, fillers or preservatives. Because these cosmetics are made from pure minerals they do not spoil.
The versatile hues in this collection evoke the very best of the season as the climate gets cooler and lives refocus on school, business and anticipating the holidays. Whether you are slipping into a suit or pulling on studded denim, the edgy elegance of this collection will work for you.
Jacquard – a pale cream with the softest touch of shimmer.
Brocade – a completely matte medium grey.
Tulle – a super-sheer wash of golden shimmer, beautiful worn as a wash over other colors.
Velvet – a lush, smoky purple with a hint of shimmer.
PLUS ONLY FOR KIND LIFE READERS – Pashmina The 5th "Perfectly Tailored" Color
(pictured below)

The Alima Pure team met in May to select the Fall Collection. The task of choosing only four of the possible formulations was highly challenging, especially since it meant leaving the lovely "Pashmina" out. For Kind Life Readers only (be sure to leave a comment when you place your order) receive a deluxe sample of Pashmina when you order the "Perfectly Tailored" Collection and judge for yourself if they made the right decision.

Every Yes To Carrots lipbalm/tint I could find at the store had beeswax in it :( I didn't see beeswax listed for them on the website, so maybe it's only in some of them. I guess I'm sticking with Tate's and Crazy Rumors lipbalms for now. But Yes To Carrot's SPF lotion and eye cream are vegan, so I got those to try :)

I love Alima!! I love that you can get samples to try before purchasing the full size. When I opened my package the presentation was very classy and impressive. But most of all it's the best mineral make up I've tried , and I've tried a lot of them.

Thanks for the Alima review as I am looking for quality makeup. I have tried the Yes to Carrots shampoo in the travel size as Target was out of the Giovanni travel size, unless it was the change in the water, my hair always looks,feels, better after using Giovanni shampoo and conditioner.

i LOVE alima, and living in portland i am happy to support such a fabulous local product! their (super affordable) mineral foundation is by far the best i've ever used, and the color matches my skin perfectly without looking like i'm wearing make up. i actually feel like my skin has improved since i started using it. must try the glosses!

eatinbrownrice,
Thank you for the link to Yes To Carrots! I have been looking everywhere for a vegan moisturizer with SPF that doesn't have orange or lemon oil in it. They have one that looks perfect. The lip tints look pretty cool too. I must go visit my local Walgreens....

Yes To Carrots has lip butters, lip glosses and a lip tint (tinted lip balm) made without beeswax. Walgreens sells them. http://www.yestocarrots.com/category/lip-care?category_id=0000015

I got several of their $1 samples...I love this stuff! The blushes are natural looking and I love the colors of the eye shadows! BTW the samples are VERY generous! Try them out!!

I'm a big fan of Alima! I especially love their foundation-- so soft and natural-looking while still providing coverage. Minerals at their best!
