Pretty shades of Ellana Mineral Blush

Mineral makeup was a big trend last 2008, with big name makeup companies like L’Oreal, Neutrogena and Revlon jumping on the bandwagon. The thing is they’re quite expensive and most of them contain ingredients that mineral makeup is NOT supposed to have. Checkout this brand for good quality mineral makeup: Ellana Minerals.

As far as I know, Ellana Minerals is the first and only local mineral makeup company in the Philippines. They have their own site (www.ellanaminerals.com) which features a very shopper-friendly layout, clear color presentations of products (always a good thing when shopping for makeup online), plus, a nifty tips and tricks section. They also send out free samples - no need to buy anything first.

Ellana Lipgloss

Their powder stuff comes in 6, 3, and 1 gram sizes, with the 1g sampler costing either P100 or P120. Shimmery lipgloss is P160. Brushes start at P200. For the quality, I’d say that their pricepoints are way beyond competitive.

I’ve tried Lumiere (made my skin itch) and Monave (good, but kinda pricey) before and I can say Ellana does not cause itchiness or other skin problems. I like that it has a wide range of tones and colors to choose from (particularly with eyeshadow - over 30 shades!).

Ellana Concealer, Foundation and Finishing Powder

So far, I’ve tested their foundation, concealer and finishing powder and give each one high scores. Check out my previous blog on customizing mineral makeup for more info. I can’t wait to try their blush - comes in 12 shades with sheer, satin, frost, and shimmery finishes. Give yourself a beauty treat, try out some mineral makeup today :)
