From the websiteCandy Apple is seriously RED that blends out into a lovely pink.  It's nicely balanced and should wok for most folks, and gives a natural happy flush to your cheeks.  Candy Apple is super pretty- don't be intimidated by the extreme red in the pic. It's also lovely dotted on over lip balm.  Uber pigmented so a little dab is all you need- use caution if you're pale because it takes less than you think it would.  Candy apple is completely sheer with no shimmer at all.

This is very pigmented, so a little will go a long way.  Dot it on your cheeks to give a little glow, use it to perk up lippies- the sky's the limit.  This color is lip and face safe. NOT eye safe.

Ingredients: Capric Capryllic Tryglycerides (fractionated coconut oil), Candelilla Wax.  Also contains:  Mica, FD&C Color (According to the Silk Naturals website, this product is vegan)

Personal comments: They're not kidding about this being seriously red! I'm head over heels for the Silk Naturals cream blush formula, but those of us with very pale skin should take care - this particular shade quickly slips into sunburn territory if I apply too much too quickly. The formula allows you to build up color slowly, so make use of it!

From the website: Angel is our sheer translucent illuminating glow with just a hint of ivory. 

If you're looking for something to wear on Friday nights- a little something to use when you want to look extra special- give a glow a try. 

Glows add shimmer and radience- you can wear them all over your face and body, or just little touches here and there. They're also extra fun worn on your decolatage or shoulders. Mineral glows are completely sheer, and blend beautifully. It's more of a "Did you lose weight" or "Did you get a hair cut" kind of effect- not a scary Tin-Man look.

Ingredients: Mica, silk powder, silica, titanium dioxide, iron oxides (This product is not vegan due to the silk powder)

Personal comments: This is a lovely formula and would be a great starter highlighter for anyone who isn't sure what their undertone is. It comes across as translucent white and blends out to be effectively colorless. You can get a lovely, subtle shimmer with this product.

From the website: Medium Brown Brow Cream is a creamy version of our brow powders. They're super easy to use, and provide sparse brows with a bit of needed color, and a little bit of conditioning from the natural oils.

Ingredients: Certified Organic Castor Oil, Fractionated Coconut Oil, Candelilla Wax, Carnuaba Wax.  Also contains:  Mica, Iron Oxides, Titanium Dioxide (According to the Silk Naturals website, this product is vegan)

Personal comments: This is an interesting formula, and worth checking out if you want to try an alternative to brow powder. I use this with an angled brush. The product is harder than you might expect, like a lump of polymer clay, but that makes it easier to pick up small amounts of this very pigmented brow cream at a time.
