Description

Why Mineral foundation? Conventional foundation is made with 90% fillers and 10% color pigment. Fillers such as talc, oil, preservatives, dye and fragrances are the number one cause for break outs and skin irritations. Mineral foundation avoids the use of Talc, a common product used in conventional foundation which has been shown to be a carcinogen. Mineral Foundation is made with all natural ingredients such as Mica, Zinc Oxides, Iron Oxides, Titanium Dioxide. These are minerals all mined from the earth and they go through a process. They are coated and treated and then micronized to get the different colors. Unlike conventional cosmetics, mineral powders allow your skin to breath, not locking in toxins and waste. Contains no talc, oils, additives, fillers, FD and C dyes or synthetic preservative. Recommended by Dermatologists. Non-comedogenic and oil free, will not clog pores. Anti-inflammatory properties.

    I was skeptical with this being a line I had never heard of in the 10 years I have been using mineral makeup but decided to give it a try since the lady was so nice to me and I had nothing better to do while waiting for my boyfriend to shop for Christmas gifts.

    She took off my makeup with the toner and put on the lightest (color) foundation anyone has ever used on me in my life. It looked good and felt good so I proceeded to purchase the foundation, the toner and 6 shadows as well as the foundation brush. Went home and followed exactly the steps I was told to follow (plus I have been wearing the mineral foundation for 10 years so figured there wasn't much to it). Lo and behold it did NOT feel like it did at the kiosk. It was very sparse, with hardly any coverage at all, no matter how much I tried to build up the product; so I went ahead and wore it for a full week with the sparse coverage. By 3 hours later, I had an oil slick on my nose and all the redness that was there before was rearing it's ugly head. I have never been so shiny on my nose before. I even tried using a concealer under the foundation to hide the redness but that didn't work either.

    I figured OK, so the foundation doesn't work for me - I would continue to just use the eye shadows purchased. Figured out I didn't receive the correct eye shadows that I pointed to at the kiosk so I drove the 20 miles back to the mall and was treated TERRIBLY by the two ladies working the booth (one was the same very nice lady who sold me the product in the first place). All I wanted to do was exchange, not complain, not get mad - just exchange but after I was treated so bad, I have sent an email to the owner of the company and will NOT be a returning customer in the future.
