Advantages: Natural, blends well

Disadvantages: Expensive, too much comes out

I got this as a present from my mum after reading all about natural mineral make up. I have the number 40 creamy ivory version and it is a pretty good product. There are multiple other shades avaliable though to match most skin tones, this is one of the palest available.

I don't really use foundation or anything so when I first got this I was a little bit unsure but it is really really easy to put on as it comes with a little soft brush and it is hard to go wrong because it is so natural looking. I have actually used the powder pretty much every day since I first opened it because it is so gentle to the skin and it does look nice on. It worked really well in the summer, better than othe liquid foundations I have tried because it was so light and it wasn't affected by the heat at all.

I don't have sensitive skin at all but the packaging does state "suitable for sensitive skin" along with "Doesn't clog pores. Oil-free", "Applies evenly" and "Buildable natural-looking coverage". Apart from these snippets (in 4 different languages) there is little else on the package, other than the name and shade.

I do think that it is easy to tip too much out of the little bottle though and as it is such a loose powder, I find it can rub off onto my clothes! It is really easy to blend however, and it evens out my skin tone.

This product is avaliable at most beauty retailers, including Boots and Superdrug, as well as many places online and I think it costs around £12 for a 10g tub. For the money, I think it isn't the best product i've ever tried, but I do like it and if it was on offer, I would probably buy it again.

Summary: A nice natural product, but probably not worth the money
