 Natural minerals but CONTAIN PARABENS!!!!!!! August 24, 2008
ILuv2shop (The burbs)
Parabens are a group of compounds widely used as a preservative to give products a longer shelf life. Parabens are absorbed through the skin from your moisturizers, powders etc. & have been shown to mimick estrogen effects in the body which play havick on your endocrine levels which regulate your hormones & thyroid. Measurable concentrations of six types of parabens have showed up in biopsy samples of breast tumors. Infact 20 out of 20 tested showed levels of parabens. They are not sure why but are now doing extensive research to see if there is a link between this preservative & cancer. These parabens are used in SEVERAL drugstore & department store brands. Clinique, Estee lauder, Hope in a jar, most Olay regenerist lines, shampoos, Neutrogena daily conditioner, underarm deodorant, Etc. Etc. Even my maybeline great lash mascara. Please read labels & research for yourself. There are other alternatives that these companies can use but until the FDA tells them they are for sure harmful, they will continue to use them. Some companies have already stopped using them & are printing "Paraben free" right on their label. Brands like Boscia & Juicy beauty found at Sephora are Preservative/Paraben free. Educate yourself & a friend. The last place I thought to find them would be in something natural like Mineral veil. I don't believe their foundations have it but the Rever up does......
Absorbs oil, does not flake, makes your face glow...what more does a girl need August 5, 2008

They say that mineral products are better for your skin as they don't harm the skin and let the skin breathe naturally as opposed to more oil based cosmetics. That's nice to have but the mineral veil had to really excel as a cover-up product before I'd spend any money on it. But the good news is that it actually works.
The veil is composed of very fine corn-starch which helps with the oil absorption and smoothing out your skin. You have to get one of those kabuki brushes and really blend in the powder on your face after you're done with applying your usual lotions and foundation. The more you blend the better it looks. The trick is to take a very small quantity and blend it in till your face starts to glow. It makes my face look brighter yet not made up at all and it absorbs the oil to keep away the dreaded shine.
The only downside to using this product is that the proper blending takes more time than just throwing on some lotion mixed with a little foundation after washng my face(which is what I usually do). This is done in addition and adds 2 minutes or more to my routine. So although it makes me look good, I usually don't spend the time to use it except on special occasions.
 Leaves Your Skin feeling & looking better than ever! August 1, 2008

This mineral 'foundation' is an incredible product for coverage. It is ultra light, yet covers well. Mineral veil is the lightest 'powder' step you will ever feel! It really is a revolutionary step. In a few hours after wearing it my skins feels a bit more supple which is wonderful for a makeup! I was very skeptical at first, but LOVE it now~
The product is worth trying and you won't let anyone convince you differently on your foundation for life!

Best face powder I have ever used. Goes on easily, doesn't cake, and doesn't look madeup.
 Nice, but expensive July 18, 2008

This is a nice enough loose powder, but that's about all it is: nice enough. Yes, it does make my skin look smoother, more even, and it reduces shininess. But all powders do that, and this one doesn't seem to have any greater effects beyond any other powder I've tried. I also found that it wore off rather quickly. For me, this simply wasn't worth the price.
