Trying some new mineral makeup, a small haul from Lily Lolo Mineral Cosmetics

I have decided that it is time for me to try mineral makeup again. My experience with mineral makeup is minimal. I did try some samples from Everday Minerals but I wasn't super impressed. I think that I picked out the wrong colors and the wrong finish and the result wasn't very impressing.

I recently discovered a UK based brand called Lily Lolo Mineral Cosmetics. This company offers mineral makeup without chemicals and synthetic dyes. Their makeup is also Bismuth Oxychloride free which is always a plus since Bismuth Oxychloride can irritate the skin. I was also glad to see that the ingredient list for the foundation is talc free.

I ordered some samples and three of the samples where foundation shades. I have to say that the most negative thing with ordering makeup online is that it is very hard to find the right color for your foundation. I like that companies like Lily Lolo understands this and offers samples on their site.



These are the things that I picked up (all are samples)

Foundation
Warm Peach (light and warm undertones) this was a good match to my NC20 skin tone
Blondie (light and balanced undertones) this was also a good match
In The Buff (light-medium and balanced undertones) this was too dark for me.

Flawless Silk Finishing Powder
Stardust Shimmer Powder
Waikiki, a light shimmery bronzer for light complexions
South Beach, a matte bronzer

Blush
Candy Girl, a shimmery pale pink color
Clementine, a matte peachy pink color.

All of the samples except for the blushes came in small jars, the blushes came in small Zip Lock bags. I thought that the sample jars were quite messy to use since they don't have a sifter. When you open the lid you get powder everywhere.
The shimmery products are very finely milled so there is no chunky glitter in any of them. Both the Candy Girl Blush and the Waikiki Bronzer are very shimmery but there is no glitter in them.

I liked the online store, it was easy to order from and all of the products have good descriptions accompanying them and you get a good idea about the colors just by reading the descriptions.
It took a week from the day I ordered it until I received the package and the company shipped my order the day after I had ordered.


I paid for these products with my own money and it is my own opinion. I am not affiliated with Lily Lolo Mineral Cosmetics.
