If you’ve been around here long enough, you know I absolutely LOVE my clean makeup and all things Young Living and essential oils. I never really paid attention or cared what I put on my face, but here’s why you absolutely should care.
Why all natural makeup?
- 500. The average number of chemicals and toxins a woman puts on her body every day. Many are known carcinogens, hormone disruptors & neurotoxins. Biggest offenders? Our makeup, skincare, and perfumes.
- 60. The percentage of what we apply to our skin that is absorbed and enters our bloodstream.
- 26. The number of seconds it takes for the chemicals in your personal care products to enter into your bloodstream.
- 80. The percentage of ingredients that have NEVER been tested for safety.
What does all that mean?
Just say no to parabens, phthalates, and absolutely say no to fragrance. All of these chemicals in makeup is causing so much disruption to our insides. These chemicals have been know to wreak havoc to our hormones, cause harm in fertility, are linked to a higher risk of cancer, cause harm to the endocrine system, can trigger allergies, migraines, and asthma. And that’s just to name a few.
Who knew?! I couldn’t turn a blind eye anymore. It’s time to change your makeup, sister! It’s one of the easiest ways to clean up your act.
Don’t worry, you don’t have go full-on crunchy mama mode. Just cleaning up your makeup will make you feel so much better!
Savvy Minerals: My Makeup of Choice
I’m so thankful for an easy solution! This is why I love Savvy Minerals and why Savvy is my makeup of choice and has been for the past year. It is absolutely flawless and beautiful and will give you a natural glow. It’s the best ever and here’s why.
Savvy Minerals by Young Living is ALWAYS formulated WITHOUT:
- talc
- bismuth
- lead
- mineral oil
- mercury
- parabens
- phthalates
- petrochemicals
- synthetic fragrances
- synthetic colorants
- cheap fillers
Can I get an Amen?!
Here a few more fun facts:
- Savvy Minerals are made in the USA (the brushes are made in Italy).
- Cruelty-free, gluten-free, and mostly vegan (the lipsticks and lip glosses have beeswax, so they are not considered vegan).
- Savvy Minerals by Young Living uses Arrowroot Powder and Kaolin Clay. Both are calming to the skin, help to absorb excess oil and moisture on the skin and make the skin feel silky smooth. This is important because most mineral makeup uses bismuth, which is a metal mineral that – when worked into the pores – aggravates the pores and causes irritation and breakouts.
- Lasts ALL DAY LONG… seriously, ALL DAY LONG! You’ll look as fresh at midnight as you did at 9 AM!
You just can’t put a price tag on health.
I’ve been using this makeup and easy routine for the past year and cannot sing its praises enough!
Now on to my 5-minute face!
The other day in Stories, I shared my easy makeup routine; I use do this on days I don’t have much going on or I need to get out the door quickly.
It really all starts with a clean beauty routine, but I’ll save that for a different day. ;)
Here’s my 99% Savvy lineup. Starting with a clean, fresh face, this is what I do.
5-Minute Makeup Routine
Step 1.
GLOW SERUM. I apply this the minute after I wash my face in the morning and let it soak in while I get dressed.
Step 2.
MATTIFYING PRIMER. This is to help the mineral makeup stay put and get rid of excess shine. (Remember, my skin is oily.)
Step 3.
BEAUTY COUNTER CONCEALER. Since Savvy doesn’t have a liquid concealer yet, I use this one! I love it. I am about to try a Savvy concealer hack though! It’s Seedlings Diaper Rash Cream with a light shade of foundation mixed in the palm of your hand, applied with a concealer brush and set with the foundation powder. Genius!
Step 4.
WARM 2 FOUNDATION & ROSE MISTING SPRAY. The only foundation I will ever use now! It’s so light and let’s your natural glow shine through. You’re not using all those oils and healthy products on your face for nothing. I apply with the misting spray to control the coverage. Spray brush, swirl in loose foundation, and apply.
Step 5.
CHARISMA BLUSH. I lightly add this on the apples of my cheeks since the color is bright and add any excess onto my eyelids. If I just want a hint of shimmer, I add the color I DO BELIEVE YOU’RE BLUSHIN’ instead.
When I want a little more contour, I use the Savvy Minerals Summer Loved Bronzer. It’s the perfect bronzer!
Step 6.
EYELASH CURLER + SAVVY MASCARA. The perfect duo to give your eyes just the right amount of pop. Savvy mascara is infused with Lavender oil. It’s amazing and so good for your lashes.
Step 7.
POPPY LIP SCRUB & LAVENDER LIP BALM. I use the poppy lip scrub daily and looove it. Then I top with Lavender Lip Balm. So good! Your lips have never looked and felt so good. Embrace lipgloss on top is also the perfect neutral.
PRO-TIP and last step.
Use your Lavender Lip Balm to tame your brows. Then apply any excess eyeliner powder (I use Savvy Minerals Eyeliner) to fill in your brows. Perfection.
MINI MAKEUP TUTORIAL
I did this little tutorial on my Stories the other day, so excuse the orientation and croppedness. A beauty vlogger I am not. But this makeup is so easy, anyone can use!
I am obsessed with these products and this easy routine.
Seriously, friends. Never did I ever think I’d love makeup this much!
Here’s a little story for you, too. A few months ago, I ran out of my Savvy foundation for a weekend, and I was going out of town for the weekend and had to dig out my old face powder. I used the “good” stuff, too. Well, I wore it that one weekend, and it felt so cakey and it just didn’t sit well on my skin. I vowed to never run out again and always have a replacement on hand. That’s how much I love this stuff.
Okay, I’m sold. What next?
You can pick and choose which products you want, but if you’re new to Young Living, I would definitely go with a Savvy Starter Kit.
The Savvy Starter Kit is the perfect place to start! These are all blendable and buildable colors, so there aren’t many color kits to choose from. So easy! First figure out if you’re cool or warm toned, then go from there. I’m a Warm 2.
Here’s a great cheat sheet on how to find your perfect match.

Meet the kits!
Now onto some FAQs.
How much does a kit cost?
Only $150! It’s retail value is well over $200.
Because you read through all of this info, you’ll also get $25 back via PayPal from me personally after checking out. When I email you with your welcome package, let me know you saw this deal on Seven Graces.
When broken down individually, you’re getting $60 dollars of extras for FREE.
Plus the additional $25 back from me. It’s a no-brainer.
Enroll in Essential Rewards during your initial checkout, and you’ll also get 1o dollars back in credit for a future quick order! This is completely optional, but highly encouraged.
What if I want items individually?
Now through May 17, 2019, at midnight, MST, you can get individual items on sale at an unprecedented discount of 25% off!
However, to get the 49% discount off retail pricing, you must be a wholesale member. Not a member? See above and get that starter kit! Add on extra items to your order, and you’ll still get the sale prices. ONLY GOOD UNTIL MIDNIGHT, FRIDAY, MAY 17, 2019.
What if I want your makeup routine products? Seems expensive.
If you break it down though, my five-minute face is extremely cost effective when compared to other non-toxic products like Beauty Counter. I love their makeup, but Young Living also offers me up to 25% back in reward points when enrolling in their loyalty program. Say what?!
The numbers speak for themselves, friend.
