Lily Lolo Mineral Cosmetics: Foundation

I bought a sample of Lilylolo foundation after hearing about how mineral foundation could help improve problem skin. I looked at a few websites but Lilylolo had the most reasonable prices and offered sample pots at 99p so I could try it without forking out a fortune. It also doesn't contain bismuth- a mineral present in some other brands that can actually cause skin irritation in some people I've been wearing make up since I was 14 and have tried countless foundations in search of if not perfect, at least reasonably nice looking skin. I suffer from breakouts quite frequently and have done since I was a teenager- I'm now 25! I've tried all kinds of ...  Read the complete review

I was quite excited when my little bundle of Lily Lolo products arrived through my door a few months back. I'd read glowing reviews of how great this brand, which I'd never previously heard of, were.

The mineral foundation was in the 'loathed' category. The first time I applied it I figured perhaps it was me that was applying ...  Read the complete review

Lily Lolo sells only mineral make-up products, with all natural ingredients and only as many ingredients as necessary. Many of the 'mineral' products that have emerged in the past few years don't stay as true to the mineral definition as Lily Lolo.

I first came across Lily Lolo a couple of years ago, just as the mineral make up hype was taking off in the UK. I wanted to try mineral foundation but didn't want to order from the US. I had ordered many other mineral items from the US, but this time I didn't want to wait 3 weeks for my order to arrive. A Google search put Lily Lolo at the top of the list so I popped over to their site and had a look at their foundation. The site is very easy to navigate. There is a menu on the left hand side of the front page listing each of the products. The foundation page has the foundations split into 4 groups (neutral, cool, warm, olive), with two buying options at the ...  Read the complete review
