The body shop Mineral Make-up Line


I saw TBS MMU are now on stores.. they’re on sale right now so the last time so a foundie will cost Php900++ but retails on Php1000++ ($25 more or less) .


ACTIVE INGREDIENTS: Titanium Dioxide (24.4%). INGREDIENTS: Kaolin, Illite. May Contain: Mica, Iron Oxides.


Cheek colors ($18) are available in shades of pink quarts, golden terracotta, warm copper, brown topaz..

Eye colors ($13) have a handful of collection too.. all in neutral colors,.

ACTIVE INGREDIENTS:Mica, Illite. [+/- CI 77891, CI 77499, CI 77491, CI 77492].


Claims:

The earth’s purest minerals

Best if you want to: Achieve a healthy, radiant complexion with ultra-fine minerals that blend evenly to protect skin and reduce redness and imperfections.

Best for: suitable for sensitive skin, provides light to medium coverage

How it works:

  • Kaolin clay and Mediterranean clay are absorbent minerals that provide long-lasting coverage.
  • Mica adds luster and has light-diffusing properties to help disguise fine lines and pores.
  • Titanium dioxide and iron oxide protect skin from the sun without clogging pores.
  • Dermatologist-tested with no added fillers, preservatives or fragrances.

Cheek colors ($18) are available in shades of pink quarts, golden terracotta, warm copper, brown topaz..

Eye colors ($13) have a handful of collection too.. all in neutral colors,.


VERDICT:

I didn’t road test the set.. by looking at the ingredient list they are quit minimalist unless they didn’t list all of the fillers used.. The color selection are very limited plus they don’t sell samples but you get to test them on counters.. Price is comparable to MMU we buy online (minus the shipping costs and turn-around time (TAT)॥

Great for those that aren’t into online shopping

Will I buy one: I need to sample them first



They also have their kabuki brush to go with their MMU line,. This is so soft,. Comparable to lumiere and EDM brushes.. It look so polished and well crafted.. just lovely… costs Php1000++ too.. hmm reasonably priced too,. Might grab this baby to add to my collection of brushes…
