I am almost positive that the rep from Vani T told me that there was cornstarch in their range (another alternative to talc, now talc really is a mineral in itself but hmm cornstarch deffo isnt)
Talc is a nasty mineral, that is why all good mineral make up brands don't use it. Corn starch is a safer alternative, its used in a lot of natural baby products and true mineral make up ranges.

Talc is an irritant whereas corn starch is kinder to the skin.

I seem to recall that the 35% isn't valid from concessions, only from MAC shops. As such it's no good for me as the nearest MAC shop to me is in London, or Brighton.
Grrr.

Yes the 35% is at mac stores only unfortunately. however you can shop online at MAC Pro i'm not sure if you have to be a pro member to access the site. you should be able to download an application form on there. you just need 2 forms of id to prove you are a make.up artist(certs biz card etc). hth x

I love Bare Escentuals. I only recently started using mineral make up in July. I decided I didn't want to wear foundation on holiday in Turkey and had read reviews about Bare Escentuals and it had staying power even in such high temperatures.
I am now a devoted fan of Bare Escentuals and have even persuaded my mum, nan and friend to start using their products as it looks so natural but gives good coverage.
I also noticed whereas foundation starts to rub off throughout the day, when I use the minerals my make up looks even better at the end of the day :green:

jane iredale do a pressed powder and a liquid mineral foundation, the range is 100% pure and natural! they make the liquid foundation by suspending small beads of minerals in a aloe vera gel and the clever bottle measures out the correct amount of gel, crushes a mineral and mixes it together! both the presses powder and liquid minerals are alot less messy than the loose! xx

I use CC Pure mineral makeup. Nothing but good stuff in there! It covers blemishes (not that I have any... lol) like nothing else I've ever used before and the range of concealers and colours is quite extensive. Plus CC can customer colour to each person skin type/colour and they are very affordable - and they give out samples of other colours with your order!!
I have become addicted to the stuff :green:

Hi,
I'm a new salon geek that is struggling to find a mineral make-up range... I've looked at the larger companies like Bare Escentuals and Jane Iredale but they are way out of my budget although I quite liked BE. I am currently sampling some 'Essential Therapy' products that I bought from the Olympia exhibition and although it looks great and lasts all day I have noticed my skin itching. Has anyone got any advice for a 'pure' mineral brand that is also fairly priced? Cheers

Hi Theresa
I've just received some samples today of the foundation from Lily Lolo after contacting them on the website so I will try them out and see. It does seem a reasonably priced range with nice packaging and a good concept but its a shame they don't yet supply eyeliners and mascara.

Lily Lolo for me all the way! I love it. Their eye colours are very pigmented so the colours are gorgeous. Some of the eye colours can be used with a damp brush so I use the black as an eye liner. I have all my eyelash extension clients using it too as it dosent effect the lashes.
Love the range!
Love the range!
i use id BE and love it especially for holiday no more sticky liquid foundation than runs off in the sun. The bronzing powder is the best one I have ever used it's lovely on and gives a nice dewy young fresh look to your skin.

I know since I live in the U.S. that not everything is available in your area. But I have been using Everyday Minerals for quite awhile now and love them. They are half the price of Bare Minerals and they offer different foundations for different skin types. The latest thing that is new with their containers, instead of havin the strip that you peel off, there is a plastic piece that slides around to cover and uncover the holes. Great for traveling, plus you can regulate better how much comes out.
Maybe if enough people request their products from overseas they will consider selling it there. And I know in the U.S. beauty professional can sell it in their shops. Just an idea!!

Hi Mouffloncake
Can you tell me if Youngblood has a website? I've tried to search on google but it only comes up with salons/distributors.
Thanks :Grope:
