About a week ago I had this Arbonne Mineral Powder Foundation pop up in my mail to try. Personally, I hadn't heard much about this product, so I was both excited and weary.
I've always been a lover of mineral foundations - especially Avon's Smooth Minerals Foundation. I love how it gives you natural coverage, but not too much to the point where it looks like makeup. I particularly love wearing these for my everyday routine because they're quick, easy and faultless.
So Arbonne's product had a lot to live up to for me.
Here are some specifications about the product:
Brand: Arbonne
Price: $42.00
Features:
- Complete with broad spectrum SPF 15 sunscreen for global skin protection.
- True-to-skin shade range matches all skin tones.
- Optilight Technology gives the immediate appearance of smoother skin, and botanical ingredients balance and boost complexion through hydration.
- Customized fabric mesh sifter works with the brush and formula for a seamless, mess-free application.
- Vegan formula, non-comedogenic and dermatologist-tested.
Contains:
- Linseed extract, a superior moisturiser, helps balance skin’s appearance by restoring suppleness and
controlling oiliness.
- Rice lipids promote hydration and maintain skin’s healthy glow.
- Ribose promotes radiance of skin complexion.
The following are some pictures of my face before and after the product.
I did not use a primer like they recommended, as I never have with mineral foundations before and I personally don't like them.
The verdict:
Yes! This product is lovely and provides such a nice, natural coverage. It is definitely a lighter coverage than my Avon Smooth Minerals, and the finish is much more matte rather than a satin.
I'd recommend this for those who are busy and on the go, and possibly even students at school.
You can find this cheaper on eBay, but as listed on Arbonne's site it retails for $42.00.
