Mineral Makeup Cosmetics

CBS recently posted an article about the fact that mineral makeup is not regulated under FDA guidelines.

“They’re not regulated by the Food and Drug Administration so you are pretty much at the mercy of the company,” said Deleo.

This actually isn’t new news to me. I’ve always known that mineral makeup isn’t regulated by the FDA, and that’s why I frequent the online forums and review sites, just to get a real opinion. An opinion that matters, yours and mine.

“I break out a lot less with this and it’s natural it feels lighter,” said one.

“It goes on really smoothly and it’s flawless,” said another believer.

I’ve heard comments like that all over Makeup Alley. But, I’ve also heard that it can be quite itchy to some skin types. So, be sure to do your research.

Aqua Elements Collection

Ok, so I’ve been waiting to get my hands on this line ever since I heard about it in Lucky Magazine.

I must admit that I’m very impressed. I really think that it was better for me than the Bare Escentuals and their mineral line. I’ve heard a lot of people comparing this Lauren Hutton Collection to the Bare Minerals line, but again, I gotta say that I liked it better.

I didn’t get the tingling that the Bare foundation gave me. It was weightless and smooth, and best of all, it didn’t feel like I was wearing any makeup. 🙂

Some other benefits that I’ve heard about it are:

• It doesn’t cause itchiness (very true)
• It’s the first water-mineral makeup
• There isn’t much need for touch-ups
• It doesn’t fade or settle into fine lines
• It doesn’t leave a shine

As with any makeup, I think that your skin tone and texture will most likely determine whether or not you like the stuff. She has a little more info on her site about skin tone, so you might want to check it out.
