Mineral Make up.. What’s up with that?

So whats the lowdown on this highly sought after product whose popularity is still on the rise? What can mineral make up give you that other branded cosmetic products don’t?

.. Well it’s all natural baby! So it claims, since the ingredients are supposed to be from minerals (I know.. the name already suggests that.. duh! ) and inorganic substances it promises to go easy on your skin. But is that really so or is this another marketing strategy to sell?! Hmnn.. Not to sound paranoid or anything I just like to look at everything in a two way perspective. I refuse to be one of those ignorant consumers who are oblivious to the sales strategy they’ve bought into by buying a product due to the influence of marketing tactics.

That’s besides the point though. Lemme tell you what I do like.. Me like mineral make up! (Whoa to the sudden shift of mood! Talk about bipolar..) I have sensitive skin, thanks to the bad genes I inherited from my mother, my skin reacts to sudden changes in temperature, climate, bad facial wash, cosmetics, and at other times when it feels like it. I can’t avert nor predict it so when my skin decides to have another anaphylactic reaction to something or maybe nothing, applying make up aggravates it so I have to go all day with out make up (thanks again mother!).

One of the shades (shroom) we tried

I swear mineral make up feels like no other cosmetic product in the market. It gives you a very good mimicry of a light natural long lasting glow. It hasn’t cause an allergic reaction so far and another thing I like about it is that it comes off easier than traditional cosmetic products. I haven’t tried mineral products for the big brands in the market but from a matte to a sheer effect the stuff I’m using gives really impressive output.
