UK Energy Saving Reviews Afterglow Mineral Eye Shadows
Friday, August 8th, 2008 
The Afterglow Mineral Eye Shadow is 100% mineral and includes organic antioxidants. A range of 25 different shades are available.
The Afterglow Mineral Eye Shadow is in a classic pot (which is 100% recyclable) but is a loose powder rather than pressed like many products. I wondered whether this would be as easy to apply as my usual product, but actually there was no problem. The information I received with the eye shadow stated that it could be used dry or wet, so I tried both methods and both were effective. It was easy to get an even coverage and you didn’t need to use much product. The shimmer effect is not over the top so I found it suitable for day or night wear. Eyes can obviously be quite a sensitive area, so I think many of us stick to what we know, but I had no reaction to this product, and it is promoted as being gluten-free so suitable for those with a gluten sensitivity.
At £16 the Afterglow Mineral Eye Shadow is not a cheap product but prices for eye shadow vary massively, even amongst mineral eye shadows, so this doesn’t stand out.

but look before you leap on the bandwagon. Not all mineral products are any better for your skin than ’standard’ make-up. Many contain parabens, dyes and fillers, along with a chemical called bismuth oxychloride which can give a rather unatural orangey glow.
