I haven’t try any minerals products before. Would like to try.
I have an oily face, will it be ok to use minerals make-up.
I would like to try the Body Shop minerals make-up.

Nora: It really depends on the formulation. I wrote something about mineral foundation possibly causing our skin to secrete more oil here http://www.vivawoman.net/2009/01/02/is-mineral-makeup-too-drying/. It’s quite hard to tell except through trial and error. So the best is to get samples first before going in for the full size. TBS unfortunately does not provide samples.

Just stumbled across this site and wanted to say THANKS for listing the ingredients! They’re one of the purest on the market right now.
Ladies, stay away from brands like L’Oreal and Revlon who break the golden rule of mineral makeup by introducing talc in their ingredients. the point of min makeup is to not rely on talc as a filler!
even bare minerals, now available at sephora, contains bismuth which is not ok for sensitive skin.
i use the body shop range and it has the least irritants in it that i’ve seen in a commercial brand. i agree it could have more choice in shades, and coverage could be a tad better. but otherwise, it’s a winner.

Jillian: It sounds good overall just a tad expensive for my pocket…

I an using Body Shop mineral range now. Have to say that the texture is fantastically fine and the colour is very natural. I Love it.Use a good BB cream underneath and top on TBS mineral range for a natural look. Its velvety and light. By mid day, spray on some face mist, not only does it freshen my makeup but also gives a dewy look.

In terms of pricing, it is higher than revlon, maybelline but TBS offers quality effect that premium brands like Laura Mercier, Giorgio Armani and NARS.

Heather: I still can’t bring myself to buy TBS mineral makeup. There are lots of cheaper and good quality mineral makeup available too…although you can mostly order them online only.

I wanted to try the mineral eyeshadow from the body shop too. Maybe I’ll wait for their post-christmas sales?

Ya IT IS VERY expensive! LOL. I am ordering a haul of Everyday minerals. I gave up on Loreal True Match because it was sort of sticky for me. SO much cheaper from everyday minerals too…

I bought the Kabuki brush from Bodyshop though!

And OMG I SO SO SO LOVE IT. it’s so soft and smooth. Picks up well and glides like crazy! Coverage could be built up stunningly!

But I don’t think I will be getting the bodyshop’s minerals. It is Very expensive and EDM and joppa minerals have almost the same minerals as them but isn’t priced that heavily.

I am back to visit ya again ^_^ Love the site so muchies.

Ena: Oh you lucky girl! I’m also thinking of ordering stuff from everyday minerals again. Heard that their dusting powder is fantastic and want to try that. And agree, the brush from TBS is worth buying…althought I also think it’s pretty ex if you were to buy it on its own.
