NYC Smooth Mineral Loose Foundation Powder

I'm writing a review about this, just to contrast what others have said about this powder. I have had it for about a month or so now, and i actually think its alright. Although i buy a lot of make up, i usually end up sticking to the same old thing and my new product goes into the bottomless pit of my make up drawer. However, i bought this just to "try out" the concept of mineral foundation and i was pleasantly surprised. my plan was to buy this and then if i liked it buy a more expensive one, but i've been using this every day with no hassle and have not touched my regular liquid foundation once since. The real negative point ...  Read the complete review

I had a wedding to go to this weekend, and normally I would just wear a pressed powder as a base, but in typical sods law fashion - I broke out this week with lovely red patches - oh joy of joys!

When I bought this product, it was because my new Avon one didn't have a brush and I was actually only buying this because it was a cheap way to get a kabuki brush. This mineral foundation is similar to the others, comes in a plastic pot with small holes which allow you to sift through a small amount of minerals at a time to fill your brush and although its cheap its only a third the size of the Avon one so works out more expensive Good Points Not tested on animals Natural SPF Cheap (but not a big size) Readily available Bad Points Very poor coverage Doesn't enhance your face It ...  Read the complete review
