Maybelline Pure Foundation Mineral

...product I am reviewing now, Maybelline Pure Foundation Mineral Powder. I had used this for a long time prior to my being unfaithful (it just happened I swear!) and have since gone back to it. For now, this is the foundation I am sticking with, whilst constantly being on the lookout for something else that is going to work as well. So as you can probably tell, my feelings toward this product are mixed. Why? === The product === Maybelline pure foundation ...
...and anywhere else where Maybelline products are usually stocked. My original pot cost £6.99 in an introductory offer but unfortunately this has now gone up to £9.99 which I slightly begrudge as I wouldn't usually spend this much on a foundation and it is a bit of a step up from the £5.99 I was previously paying for Rimmel foundation. It is a loose powder foundation that comes in a plastic pot. The powder is held in an underneath compartment and ...

Review of Maybelline Pure Foundation Mineral

...main reason I purchased the Maybelline Pure Foundation Mineral Powder was because it has so many benefits to using it. So many people are afraid to wear cosmetics because they don’t want to cause harm to their skin, however now there are finally products that are actually good for the skin instead of causing problems like dry patches, break outs etc. === My Experience=== I purchased the Maybelline pure foundation from any Boots; you can purchase ...
...it’s a bargain! The Maybelline Pure Foundation Mineral Powder is packaged in a plastic pot with a dark brown lid. Once this lid is unscrewed you will find a filter. The packaging isn’t very appealing; in fact it is probably the worst packaging I have seen for a foundation. I don’t mind the fact it is in a plastic pot it is the fact the colours on the front of the lid are boring browns with nothing at all on it that would attract someone to buy it. ...

Review of Maybelline Pure Foundation Mineral

I bought Maybelline Pure Mineral Foundation a few months ago when it first came out and was been advertised everywhere. It was £8.99 at boots and comes in a plastic box with a brush to apply the product in the pack. The foundation is different to other products because it is a loose powder and usually the foundation I buy is liquid or mousse, I was a bit doubious as to whether it would be as good as advertised because generally think that powders ...
...my overall opionion is that Maybelline pure mineral foundation is a bit fiddly to use and the brush is a bit rough on the skin but those little things aside it is fantastic for spot prone skin, it gives good flawless coverage, better than a pressed powder, without the heaviness of a liquid foundation, it looks more natural and a little bit goes a long way! Yes, i would buy it again but after this one runs out I will try the L'oreal version because ...

Review of Maybelline Pure Foundation Mineral

After falling in love with Lily Lolo's mineral foundation (you can find my review on here!) I decided to try out this cheaper version upon its launch a few months back. I purchased mine for around £7.99, which was a discounted launch promotion from Boots but it's RRP is £9.99. Mineral foundations : Mineral foundations are a reasonably new craze on the beauty scene, with lots of companies now adding a mineral foundation to their range of products. ...
...suited to most skintypes, including sensitive skin like my own! The product : This particular product has no talc, preservatives, oil or perfume in which helps it to be so gentle to the skin. One advantage I found of this product compared to others is that it has SPF 15, so reduces the need for a facial sunblock to be worn aswell! It comes in a round sifter jar, filled with 8g of powder and comes with a mini kabuki brush for application. It comes ...

Review of Maybelline Pure Foundation Mineral

As a die hard user of liquid and creme compact foundations I never thought I'd be interested in mineral foundations, let alone find one with enough coverage for my tastes. But throughout the Summer months I did not like the thick, heavy feeling that my current foundations were giving me just halfway through the day. I tried using just regular powder foundations but they did not give even enough coverage and I disliked the flat, powdery finish most ...
...foundation and headed to a MAC (one of my favourite cosmetic brands) counter to try theirs. The coverage seemed chalky and even the palest shade was not light enough for me (surprise, surprise.) I then tried numerous other brands including Everyday Minerals, Max Factore and Laura Mercier - None of which gave me the effect I wanted and I was about to give up until I tried Maybellines 'Pure Mineral' Foundation. Available in only five shades I was surprised ...

Review of Maybelline Pure Foundation Mineral

...NYC) I bought my Maybelline mineral foundation in Tesco while an offer was on for buy two get one free so I also got the mineral blush and the mousse foundation so it cost around £5.45 for the mineral foundation. Ingredients : Zinc oxide, (natural sun block) polythethylene, boronnitride, dimethhicone, PTFE synthetic wax, acrylates, copolymer, lauroyl, lysine, cetyl dimethicone, aloe barbadensis, aloe, trimethylsiloxysilicate, triisocetlyl acetate, ...
...Possibility of Mica/Titanium Dioxide I'm probably over reacting but those ingredients sound a little chemically to me, anyone who wants to leave a comment on what any of these things are and how natural they are please feel free. I was a little surprised as I thought there would be very little in the way of ingredients as its supposed to do no harm for you to sleep in it. Application When I first applied this foundation, I was impressed with its ...

Review of Maybelline Pure Foundation Mineral

I have been using maybelline mineral foundation for 7 months now. Its amazing! I have never had better make up. I have pale skin so i use the lightest shade which is rose ivory. No one can tell i am wearing make up as it looks so natural but it still covers all my imperfections. I have a scarred t-zone, have enlarged pores and some spots but it still covers them all! I also have sensitive skin and have found it does not irritate it. Do i use any ...
...mineral foundation. I also use Maybelline New York Dream Matte Powder. This product is actually meant 2 be applied on top of their mouse foundation but it works really well to stop your face from going shiny during the day and i carry it round with me in case my face goes a bit shiny. Does the product stay on? The foundation does stay on all day but sometimes does go a bit shiny. But my face is far less shiny than when i use liquid foundation. I ...

Review of Maybelline Pure Foundation Mineral

...is introducing mineral foundation. While Maybelline mineral foundation is a better option not only because of its ingredients but also it protects the skin from sun rays as it has SPF 15. It is light weight as it is in powder form so it wont give your face an artificial look. But its coverage is very smooth and sleek. So you can blend it easily and smoothly on the face. There is no oil in the ingredients so it wont leave the face look oily and sticky. ...
...other powders do. It is in five shades so any one can choose any colour that suit her skin from white complexion to wheatish complexion. Advantages: It doesnt have any oil or dye or any talc so it is very smooth and gentle to the skin and you can apply it on bare skin without putting any liquid foundation. It reduces the face and wrinkle lines and gives a very clear skin. Disadvantages: It is good for any one with oily skin or normal skin but I ...

Review of Maybelline Pure Foundation Mineral

i bought maybelline pure minerals foundation for £9.99 which i think is a bit pricy for the amoount that you get! it is in a very small (but admittedly very cool) tub which is easy to use and stops you putting too much on the free brush (in theory) i got the second to lightest colour which should have been perfect for my skin, however it doesnt cover blemishes very well and goes VERY ORANGE and CAKEY when you put more on! it is a loose powder which ...
...but i decided to give it a go when i heard that it is much friendlier to your skin and doesnt clog your pores. to start with this was true but after a few days of using it i found that it still gave me spots even though i apply moisturiser before it and clean it off when i get in. it also doesn't last that long, although fine for the morning (i usually apply it at around 8am) by dinnertime the blemishes it has given me are showing up! although fine ...

Review of Maybelline Pure Foundation Mineral

I'd never tried Maybelline products before, but after my friend recommended this foundation, I thought I should at least give it a go. I have naturally oily/combination skin so apparently a powder foundation may be a good solution for stopping shine etc. For £9.99 from Boots, I was seriously hoping it would do some good, as I don't normally spend so much on a little tub of powder! I went for shade 04, or Vanilla Rose which perfectly matched my skin ...
...apply it, which I must admit is quite rough to start off with, however it really works well with applying it as it allows you to 'buff' the powder onto your skin, rather than rubbing it on like when you use a sponge. I don't tend to use foundation all over my face, as I don't need it around my cheeks, but this powder worked absolute wonders on my T zone!!!! Once I'd applied it, my skin looked so even and flawless it was like a miracle worker! Any ...

Review of Maybelline Pure Foundation Mineral

I recently came across this marvellous product after having tried numerous foundations. I could not find one matching my skin tone. I like Maybelline Mineral Foundation mainly because it is a powder and I find it very convenient for me to use. It lasts a long time. I use mine 5 days a week and there's still half of it remaining. My skin looks very natural. I would recommend this foundation strongly. Give it a try and you won't regret it. ...

Review of Maybelline Pure Foundation Mineral

I tried maybelline 1st - I thoroughly loved it but thought i'd try a cheaper brand as i bought it on offer so i tried cheap and nasty talc rich collection 2000 - it was rubbish. Then bought an avon one and it was orange! So used it as a blush instead. I finally went to body shop and thankfully an assistant showed me some vitamin e cream to moisturise with before the powder and it goes on like a charm. Haven't tried out the staying power yet so i'll ...
