...are not for my skin type, I also had to try on the foundation as well because I wasn't sure if it will go on with my skin. Anyways, The lady said the No 7 beautifully balanced purifying cleanser was made for every skin so I bought with confidence knowing that I was buying the right products. When I got home I couldn't wait to try it out because I had never used it before and I knew that it was bound to work as it's one of the biggest brands around.

So many products claim to be 'pure' minerals but it's not always the case when you look at the ingredients with talc being used to a lesser or greater degree in some high street brands as a filler. Thankfully Elemental Beauty have brought out a range of pure mineral foundations, concealers, blushers, bronzers, glimmers, eye shadows and finishing powders that are excellent value for money and totally pure. The foundations come in two types - 'Soft Focus' and 'Healing' since they realise that not everyone has the same requirements. The Soft Focus is described as their most luxurious foundation, which contains a larger content of Silica Micro spheres, these reflect light away from fine lines and wrinkles... Read review
