Ahaha. Some changes happened in life, so been doing some coping up.

I have this principle where I test 1 product at a time, usually for skincare, body stuff, foundations, makeup bases and concealers. It takes about 1 to 2 months of monitoring from me, as my skin have a mind of it own. Sometimes perfect, sometimes dry sometimes oily. You get my drift don’t you? Colour products I review them much faster, since they are not so problematic for me.

Okay. Now you know.

Here’s the review for another mineral product, this time a concealer!

Love your spots, define new contours, show it all off, it’s your skin and it’s beautiful.
Mica, Titanium Dioxide, Zinc Oxide, Iron Oxides, Ultramarines

Multi-Tasking Concealer
is a universally wearable shade of beige that works to cover your blemishes, reduce redness, and highlight your best assets. Truly a wonderful concealer to have in your makeup kit!

Multi-Tasking is recommended for Light to Light Medium skintones.

Taken from Lovingminerals.com

Yes, it’s beig-y alright, but I notice it has a very faint pink undertone in it. Don’t believe it? See this.

Can you see the pinky undertone right now?It is very very light, but still, just a wee bit of pink in it. Not that I am bothered with it, as I find this works rather well for my dark circles.

I think you are able to see the difference right? With and without the concealer.

A closer view…

Discolouration gone and it becomes very much evened tone. It doesn’t conceal 100%, but it fixes the discolouration very well and make me look much fresher.

The texture of the concealer is the same like EDM Matte Foundation in Light, finely milled and very nice to blend in. But I do notice I need to watch out the amount I use, because if I use too much, it’ll be a little cakey and gives a whitish cast which isn’t what I fancy. Sometimes, if my undereyes is very dry, it does sink into the fine lines too So, I avoid using this when the skin around my eyes is dry. Liquid concealers are a much better option for me for days like that.

It’s retailing in Lovingminerals.com for RM32 for 5.5gm in a 25gm jar.

I’ll need to introduce you to my EDM baby kabuki too!

It’s very small in size, so it’s really cute! It fits well for my rather small palms (I think I have small hands), and I use this to apply and blend the concealer.

This would be nice to apply mineral foundations too because it’s small, and it’s easier to get into those nooks and crannies

And did I mention how soft and dense and lovely this brush is?

On a side note, I would be very much happier if this brush is smaller and more precise if it were to be use a concealer brush for the eye area alone, as this one now is a little too big than what I like for the purpose that I use it for.

It used to be sold on Lovingminerals.com for RM30 (I can’t remember the exact price, but it’s around there), but I haven’t seen it a long time already. Perhaps it has been discontinued? Am not sure. But it’s not a must have brush, just that it’s nice to own it if you love buying brushes (like me!)

Not sure is it because the lack of readers? Or the lack of comments? Or whatever it is.

Anyway, I had mentioned bout a foundation review in my last entry, and I hope you girls will find this useful.

This is my first mineral foundation, which I bought quite a while back before the Maybelline mineral foundation.

Suitable for normal/combination skin

Coverage – light to medium

Finish – matte

Flawless, pure, fast and fun, simply so soft, wears so long and so light! Everyday Minerals’ Matte Foundation keeps skin radiant without shine.
Mica, Titanium Dioxide, Zinc Oxide, Iron Oxides. May contain: Ultramarines

Golden – Light
is ideal for light to medium complexions with gentle golden undertones. Makes a great summer shade for fair skin!

Taken from Lovingminerals.com

A swatch of the foundation. Pretty light huh? With a beige-y yellow tone. I don’t see much of a gentle golden undertone though, but uh, I maybe colour blind and needs to be educated on colours. Ahaha!

The colour matches my skintone pretty well, albeit a little fairer than my neck. Heck, my neck is 1/2 to 1 tone darker than my face, so no matter what shade I use, it’ll always be lighter than my neck! If I use a colour that’s a match for my neck, I think I’ll scream for the life of me when the foundation oxidizes and becomes darker than what it should be! Even if it doesn’t oxidize much, it’ll make my face look, uh… not as pretty. Ahaha. So, I still use foundation that’s a match for my face! Even if it oxidizes, it will still look more natural on me than a darker one. Or, do you girls have any suggestion or comments on this?

Off topic. =_=

Look at the foundation colour on my face, it doesn’t differ a lot. Maybelline in N00 Very Light Ochre gave me a more yellowish cast while this is pretty neutral on me. Coverage wise as you can see, it evens out the ruddiness on my cheeks and it does help to minimize the discolouration on my upper eyelids. And my freckles are pretty much invisible right now. And I did not blot my face prior to applying the foundation. I just sweep the foundation right away and hello matte skin! But it’s not really that matte, there’s a certain glow on my face. Tee hee. I like! Awesome huh!

And the powder is finely milled and blends very well. It makes my skin smooth and nice.

However, I noticed that on days I have skin drier than usual, this tends to flake a little, especially around the mouth area and the lower part of my cheeks and sometimes, a little bit on my forehead too. But I won’t complain too much about this, since this is meant for normal/ combination skin which I think it meant for oily skin types. So make sure you load up on moisturizers, let it sink into your skin before putting this foundation on to avoid it being flakey and patchy! And be sure not to overdo this or apply more powder to set it, might make it too heavy although this is pretty much a lightweight foundation.

The mineral foundation can be bought from Lovingminerals.com for RM48. It contains 5.5g product packaged in a 25gm jar. Let me tell you this, because the foundation’s coverage is pretty good (at least for me it is), you need very little each time you use, so do expect this foundation to last you a long while!

Oh, the brush that I usually use to apply the foundation is this… I can’t apply this with a sponge or fingers, can I?

EDM’s famous flat top brush!

Unbelievably soft and incredibly dense, this flat top brush is the ultimate multi-tasker. From foundation to finishing powder, its plush and luxurious synthetic fibers provide the perfect coverage, resulting in a flawless finish every time!

Taken from Lovingminerals.com

It’s worth every penny, I tell you. It’s dense enough to pick up enough powder, buffs really well, super super soft due to it’s synthetic fibers, no shedding or weird smell, and no fray/ stray hairs! I feel like picking up a backup for this brush, to be honest, as this brush takes a while to dry due to it’s density.

And it does help to provide a really natural finish with a nice coverage without foundation looking thick and cakey!

This brush can be bought from Lovingminerals.com at RM39. Snatch it when you see it, because this baby goes OOS really fast!

I highly recommend Lovingminerals as they provide really good service and are always fast in responding emails. They are really helpful too! They do offer COD services too, so please be sure to check theirb website for the dates and places!

Now, I need to go check which other shades of foundation in Lovingminerals would suit me, since I am still on a lookout for the one foundation that matches my face and neck! Ahak!
