Advantages: reasonably priced, looks nice on the skin

Disadvantages: stuff goes everywhere

This Maybelline pure minerals loose powder foundation is available from boots stores, superdug, supermarkets and other online shops. I got this from my local boots for £9.99 and it comes with a little kabuki style brush for easy application.

I only saw 2 colours available at my boots for some reason but one of them looked a pretty close match to my skin tone so I decided to get that one. I wasn't sure what to expect as other low to medium end brands' mineral make up have let me down in the past.

So this comes in a round see through plastic pot with a black screw on lid. There's a little sifter with loads of little holes when you unscrew the top, this is to ensure that you don't get too much powder on your brush.

The brush is a kabuki style brush, and whilst it's pretty good, still doen't compare to my MAC kabuki (but that one was over £20 worth so I guess it just has to be better LOL) The Maybelline brush is pretty soft and dense so does an ok job at buffing the product into the skin.

One thing I must say however, is unlike with my MAC mineral make up, this stuff just goes flying everywhere and all my stuff ends up covered in a thin layer of make up when I get this out.

The staying power is ok, it lasts me a good couple of hours before it starts to look not so fresh on my skin anymore. For the price, it's quite reasonable and whilst it won't give the exact same flawless result I get from my more pricey mineral make up, this is pretty good.

Summary: pretty good less pricey mineral foundation
