Mineral makeup - any good?

For anyone that does want to try this it's currently available in T J Hughes for £6 but the shades in my store were quite limited.

Crumbs I'm glad you edited that Bargain Rzl - for a minute I thought you were talking about my post on retractable brushes :eek:. Trouble is I missed the one you were referring to and being a nosy s** I'll be left wondering for ever more

What a relief Unity. It was obvious, though, that no-one could have thought you a spammer .

Thanks for all your help and suggestions.

My Elemental Beauty samples have arrived. All beautifully presented in a pretty little muslin bag with a dried rosebud enclosed as well. I'm so impressed. :T

Hi just thought I'd update, I received my EB samples today and have used it for the first time and so far I love it, it stayed on all day and covered my red areas lovely...
I also ordered a couple of samples of the finishing powder but didn't use it today I just used the healing mineral foundation on its own then my ordinary bronzer and from what I can tell from today I won't need the finishing powder. Do any of you EB users find you need the finishing powder or not?

Anyway I just wanted to say thank you to those who suggested and posted their experiences of it.

I DO use a finishing powder mostly - but then thats as a blotter throughout the day as I do tend towards oiliness. I use the mineral veil from Bare Escentuals mostly as that really does give a dewy airbrushed finish - even on this old girl with less then perfect skin

I've tried the healing mineral foundation both with and without the finishing powder and I too find it's better with. It seems to stay really fresh looking for longer and does cope with any oiliness or perspiration that might otherwise show through.

Thanks for letting me know about the powder. I ordered one matt sample and one dewy which do you think is best?

As you know - I love EB..

But I have not got the finishing powder.. I'm not quite sure how to use it anyway!

The mineral foundation pretty well lasts me the whole day - and when I am about to go home, the last thing I think about is what I look like!! I also don't really have the time to 'faff' about in the mornings with more layers to apply!

I only have the Dewy one from EB and I find that's just fine. I also have a matte one from Lily Lolo which I haven't had any problems with either.

Thanks Jeannie, for now I will do the same and just use the foundation and I will only try the powder if need it, no point me adding more if the foundation does the job. Will see how it goes.
