Beauty 'Love' Alert: Mineral Mousse Make Up!


I love minerals and have done for almost 10 years now; I've written a lot about them as fan and expert plus I've been lucky enough to test out a number of brands over the years, with one brand in particular being seen as 'THE mineral brand', I beg to differ, there is so much choice though some companies have been misleading us down a grainy, gimmicky path claiming to be the purest and the best.  If you want 'pure' then research the ingredients, you will be surprised to still see irritable ingredients such as Bismuth Oxychloride in some.
I was introduced to Vitage recently, very much a respected skincare brand that decided to go one step further into 'pure enhancing tools' without losing out on quality or their heralded expertise on skin!
Natural Daily Perfector is not really make up as such, more like a pigmented complexion enhancer used to smooth pores and prime skin.  Depending on the quality of your skin you could stop right there or opt for their medium coverage Colour Minerals Natural Mineral Foundations in 4 shades both of which are made up of very few ingredients including these protective antioxidant and anti-inflammatory ones, Brazilian Green Tea and Golden Seaweed extracts.

And the texture?
Unlike anything mineral based I've ever seen before; unique mousse formula whipped to a lightweight veil, you will not feel a thing and available in 3 universal shades (Natural Tan, shown above) there is choice enough for all from this 'hero' product which can be applied using Vitage Taklon Brushes effortlessly.
Knowing Vitage comes from a skin specialists background the added reassurance is there, its pure and simple.
Available from Cosmeceuticals and soon on Beauty Bay

A taste of things to come from Lily Lolo.


I tweet and update my FB page a plenty, so if you haven't read about my prep for a mineral make up campaign, where were you?
I haven't much to show you at this stage but I hope to be immensely proud when I do as I worked very hard to represent the kindness and approachable nature of Lily Lolo make up.  Above is a sneaky peek at my designs and product selections for eyes and cheeks for the photo shoot campaign and video tutorials being released in the very near future with some long awaited launches too (I can't say any more than that!)  
I have been a fan of the brand for about 6 years and although my kit changes for each job depending on the brief, type of job, weather conditions or season, I do go back to Lily Lolo's Award Winning Mineral Foundation for lasting speed with an airbrushed look and I will always express my admiration for their excellent shade selection; 18 comprehensive shades no less from the palest of pale skins there's Porcelain to the darkest shades with warm and yellow tones, Hot Chocolate and Cinnamon.
Enough from me, why not take a look yourselves and tell me what you use or would like to try? www.lilylolo.co.uk
