As a mother and a trainer’s wife with limited “me” time, products in my makeup kit need to be long-lasting and color true to hold up against the hours of errands, meetings, horse shows and travel my life course often sees. Plus, when it’s time to just be a Mommy, I like natural ingredients and minerals that protect me from the sun, rejuvenate my skin and give me a natural look.
When I first came across Cowgirl Dirt, their fresh new products had all of this plus, they spoke to my character. And with cheeky product names (they seriously have a lipstick called “Hollywood Dun It”), I couldn’t resist.
For those who know me, I am particularly picky about my eye shadow. I need a product that will glide on smooth without a “cakey” or creased look and hold the style no matter what the day might throw at me.
Cowgirl Dirt’s new pressed powder comes in complementary dual tones, which makes their already fantastic product even better. On meeting days, I like to use the Arena Sand as a base, which creates a perfect foundation for an application of Barnwood on my eyelids. Then using a contoured brush, I like to sweep another light dusting of Barnwood into my creases in small circular motions. Both colors in this combo are demi-mattes.
On days when I’m after just a quick, simple and natural glow (you know, for the grocery store and running-into-town errands with my kids,) a smooth application of Arena Sand alone does the trick.

But for any of you ladies who ride regularly like I do, the real question is…
How do these eyeshadows hold up after a hot afternoon of riding around in arena dirt, atop a sweaty cow pony?
Well! I can happily attest that after the last couple of hot summer days I emerged from the arena looking exactly as I did walking in. You know, other than the big smile on my face! (A fast-paced, high-torque workout on the pro-cutter will do that to ya <grin>).
The colors didn’t fade away despite dust or sweat.
The other exciting aspect about Cowgirl Dirt is that all products have the following characteristics:
• Non-Allergenic and Gluten free: perfect for roseacea, acne-prone, and sensitive skin.
• Sun Resistant: contains ingredients with natural properties to protect your skin from both UVA and UVB rays.
• Anti-Inflammatory: contains ingredients that calm irritated and sensitive skin.
• Concentrated: only small amounts of products are needed for beautiful results.
• Natural: contains no toxic chemical, artificial preservative, dyes, nano particles, talc, or parabens.
And if you have sensitive skin, Cowgirl Dirt products are 100% natural and organic! You can review a full ingredient list by reading this.

Love these all
Love these
The color of muddy boots and spurs is natural soft shades with a sexy. Look feel this color you can have the finish glow with the sunlight shimmer I would wear with jeans boots or sexy black dress
Emerald/diamond dust & muddy boots/ golden spur are my two favorite colors. I would love to try either one. I can’t use just any makeup due to my face breaking out. So I would really like too win either one of these to try. And if it don’t break me out I will most likely start buying from them!!!
I love the Huckleberry / Silky Leather one, because them are the colors I am used to wearing. I hope I win!! Love it, would love to try it out! :D
I love the barnwood colors, saddle up, and mucky boots!!
• Muddy Boots / Golden Spurs
I have never used this makeup and have heard great things about it
I would love to try the Barnwood and Arena Sand combo. I love eye colors that are natural and organic! I also have oily skin and need something that will stay on longer and it sounds like this does the trick! Please put me on the mailing (email) list for Cowgirl Dirt.
Love the different names, something only a girl appreciates as much as she love’s her horse. Muddy boots and golden spurs – perfect!
I actually am torn between 2.
Barnwood /Arena Sand and
Saddle up / Renagade Rust because they just fit the color palatte I wear from jeans to dresses.
To pick one though, I would have to go with the Barnwood/ Arena Sand just because I feel like it’s the most
versatile for me.
LOVE the idea of these products. Can’t wait to try them!
I like the barnwood/prairie fresh
I like the emerald and diamond dust becausei love a bit of colour on mu eyese
Would appreciate any!
Howdy- well done on finding the perfect choices of shades that flatter everyone!! I especially like the muddy boots and golden spurs, that sums up life on the ranch. This is nice to see after all those glamour commercials highlighting the stick and famous. Down to earth, everyday living are the people I like to buy from. Good luck
Muddy boots and golden spurs love the coppery color of golden spur goes with everything
Barnwood/ Prariefreah
Would love to try these products. Sounds like just my style no fuss, no muss but still look turned out
Barnwood and arena sand! Looks like the perfect natural combo!
My favorite combination is Barnwood/Prairie Fresh. I know from a lot of trial and error that this is the color combo that looks best on me, and what cowgirl doesn’t want to look her best when headed out for a day with her horse?
Muddy boots/golden spurs is my favorite combination. I like some of the other colors but not necessarily in the combinations shown. I love the brand name though!
Muddy Boots/Golden Spurs…..I’m all about looking like you have not overdone the makeup. Very nice combinations of colors.
Barnwood/Arena Sand
This ag teacher & FFA advisor would love to wear muddy boots & golden spurs in her shop, greenhouse, & classroom as well as to fairs!
Oklahoma storm/rodeo quees
I love the Gray and silver combo.
Where do you get this? Would love to try it.
Barnwood / Arena Sand , I would love to try this product and I love this color combo!
I love the barnwood combos and the saddle up. Those are the colors I wear, it goes better with the natural dirt from the barn all day
I love the Saddle Up /Renegade Rust combo because they’re very neutral.
Seems to be the most popular but I love Muddy Boots and Golden Spurs as well. Have a couple like it in the makeup bag, but am really interested in the natural products. Would love to win one, or have the info to contact for buying!
Saddle up and Renegade Rust
Barnwood/Praire Fresh – love this colour combo and think it would be a good casual look that could be quite dressy depending on application.
Muddy boots/golden spurs, sounds like “me”! Would love to give this a try. I wear a little makeup everyday and would love to find something that can handle my life style.
I am very picky about my makeup. I would love to try muddy boots/golden spurs and emerald/diamond dust and my favorite eye shadow colors have been discontinued! I try to keep my makeup as natural and light as possible so think this would fit right in!
Muddy boots and golden spurs!! Gorgeous!
Muddy boots and golden spurs!!!! Wow what beautiful make up.
Where can I find these products.
I love them all but I really like Huckleberry and Silky Leather!
What great product names! Would love to try
Love them all but Huckleberry/Silky Leather is my favorite :)
Barnwood/arena sand!
Regardless if I win or not… how do I order??
Barnwood prairie fresh!! Been wanting to try this line of makeup wish they had it in stores!
I would love to try your cosmetics.
Would love to give this to my daughter just starting to wear a little eyeshadow.. :)
Barn wood and Prarie fresh because the gold in the Prarie fresh glimmers nicely against the barn wood
Rusted Wire / Dust…love the colours and the names…fit right in with the western Horse life….fabulous idea to create makeup specifically for those of us outside in the wind and sun with our horses…and still want to look good. Way to go, about time someone stepped up and created something natural and for us Horsie gals. Are these products sold in Canada…?
Huck/Silky leather, it’s tough to find nice purple hues that aren’t too grape pop-like!
Saddle up, a softer color for my skin tones.
Muddy boots/golden spurs! But they all look pretty sweet,
Love those muddy boots/golden spurs!
Loooooove the huckleberry! It’s a pretty color and a fun word to say
Saddle up/Renegade rust. Would be perfect for my daughter who shows & can only wear gluten free because of Celiac Disease.
I like the barnwood/arena sand … Lord knows we can never have too much of that!!
