Has anyone tried mineral foundation?

Especially Everday Mineral's foundation?
I am really tempted to get this, as the ingredient list looks really good and I wouldn't mind having a really fair powder foundation for summer (next summer, obviously ^^;) when I don't feel like slathering on BB cream.

Hm, maybe I should order the trial kit next month. (Trying to keep my few Euros in my bank account for the rest of this month. xD)
I do have some other BB creams I'd like to try, though, too, especially for winter, plus the Bourjois Bio Detox foundation. Hmmm...

    Hello!! I haven't tried Everyday Minerals but I have tried Bare Escentuals! I do not mind using mineral foundation but bear in mind the coverage is quite sheer!

    What other BB creams do you have in mind, may I ask? :p

    I've read that Everyday Minerals is better and cheaper than Bare Escentuals. Hm... (Plus, there is always concealer.)

    Apart from the BB creams I have mentioned in my last post (SKIN79 Lovely Girl BB Cream for Oliy/Sensitive Skin, Skinfood Aloe, Innisfree Eco Natural Green Tea BB), I have now added BRTC's Jasmin Water BB Cream and maybe also their Trouble Blemish Recover Balm, but I think I will try the Jasmin one first as it seems to get quite good reviews.

    That's what I heard too as Bare Escentuals' foundations contain quite high amounts of bismuth! Ooh I've heard loads about BRTC's Jasmine Water BB Cream! I can't wait to hear what you've to say about those BB Creams (and pretty much make me crave for them =p)

    I tried Jane Iredale's mineral makeup before, but didn't really feel it was worth the hype. I am not a base makeup user though. Even Jane Iredale's contains bismuth if you must know, and a close girlfriend of mine broke out horribly from it.

    I had tried Bare Escentuals before, it's really just average, nothing to write home about...

Green-tinted sunscreens - a comparison

Image
 I know I have not posted anything in years, because I was busy and because I started mostly exchanging beauty information with people on Reddit, but this seemed like the easiest format for this sunscreen comparison. For those who are new here, or have forgotten who I am (I wouldn't blame you), I am very pale (I wear Pale in Nyx) with a neutral undertone, but a lot of redness in my face, while my neck is more olive-toned. (I match foundation to my neck, not my chest, because I don't often expose the latter. for various reasons.) Green-toned sunscreens have intrigued me from the moment I first saw one - after all, I wear sunscreen every day, so why not use it to color-correct? Turns out, it's not that easy. Most of us know by now that sunscreen needs to be applied in generous amounts to actually protect us, but some of the sunscreens I tested made that pretty hard. If I applied too much at once, they got patchy and streaky , but if I tried to apply them in two or three layer

Share: Do you have any skin allergies?

Luckily, I don't have any (known) food allergies, nor do I suffer from hay fever or the likes. I am, however, very sensitive to skin care and make-up ingredients, it seems. During my four weeks of "holiday" between the end of the semester and the start of my internship on Tuesday, I was mostly at home, and my skin greatly improved from not wearing make-up and sunscreen all the time. Yet, when I did go out and thus put on my BB cream (I still owe you a review, I know!), I had a new breakout. :( Both my sunscreens and the Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream contain zinc oxide, and I know that ParisB from mywomenstuff is, for example, sensitive to it, despite people usually claiming it to be good for the skin. So at the moment, I am testing out my skin's reaction to it. After all, it might be something else in the ingredients list, right? I also have the feeling that I get little breakouts after using Hada Labo's Super Hyaluronic Acid Lotion, so I am doing a little tri

Skin care - about Sekkisei

As I mentioned before, I have purchased the trial set for Sekkisei (to celebrate their 25th Anniversary) last week and have been using it since then, together with another Kosé moisturizer (that smells the same as Sekkisei and is also said to have whitening effects.) I have also been using their sun lotion since late March and just started my second bottle a little while ago. When I googled for Sekkisei's ingredient's, I came across this very handy site: Sun lotion ingredients and their level of irritation and comedogenic effects I didn't get any more acne from it, as the comedogenic levels are only 2, and also no irritation despite it having some level 4 ingredients. Lucky! I also typed in the lotion and the emulsion . So far, it feels like my skin is getting better from the use of the products. My skin got some pimples, which rarely happens, but maybe that's because the cream is too thick for my oily t-zone, or maybe because both lotion and emulsion contain
