Used Abused & Reviewed: Maybelline Mineral Power Natural Perfecting Foundation






Hey everyone! :) I want to share a quick review on a foundation that I have been using for the last year. To be honest I don’t use it religiously, but I try to use it at least once a week. The main reason I like it, is that it applies easily and it has SPF 18. This protects my face from the sun all day long. During the summer, I normally wear a darker shade of Mineral Power perfecting foundation, but it still protects my skin if I am only out for a few hours. It can be a little bit messy, but the outcome is worth it. (I won't be using this anymore as I'm currently using L'oreal UV protector.)




Product claims:


  • SPF 18
  • Natural Perfecting Foundation
  • Micro-minerals



Product Package:


This product has an applicator that looks like an eye dropper dispenser. It is 1 oz of product. I can safely say even though I have used this product once or twice a week for the last year, there is still plenty of product left. This makes it a great value. This is actually gifted to me by a friend from US. She said she bought this product from a store CVS on sale for $6.99. For the price I believe it is great quality. It came out initially when mineral make up was all the ‘hype’.


My VERDICT:




Pros:


  • SPF 18
  • Long lasting
  • True shade match
  • Love the quality
  • “Mineral Powder”


Cons:


  • Messy applicator
  • Product drips
  • For best application you need a sponge



Overall:


I like this foundation. I have been using it for a while (and now it needs to rest!as you can see in the photos, I have abused it a lot!haha!). I think I will eventually purchase it again (whenever I can find one here in PH), but for now I am in the process of trying to use up some of the products I have already bought. It is a long process. I love the fact that it has SPF in it, as well as the fact that it is mineral make up. I do not break out with this foundation, and feel that it helps clear some of my smaller breakouts. I recommend this foundation to everyone. It is an awesome ‘drugstore’ foundation!
