I recently contacted Naked Minerals to see if they would allow me to review their product. Well they agreed and I picked the items to review. I picked the dual foundation and bronzer, pink a boo blush and just peachy blush as well as a highlighter. I also picked all three of the lipsticks and a shimmer gloss. I received all of their tools and eyebrow kit, moisture prep and setting spray. I have been using the dual foundation for a few weeks. ( I wanted to get more than just a first impression). I love the coverage of it. When I opened it I have to admit that I was not a fan of the scent but I really do not smell it when it is on my face at all. It gives me a full coverage and I do have some acne and it covers it very well. I have to admit that I have not used the bronzer yet. It is a little dark for me and makes me a little nervous so I haven't played around with it yet. The blushes are not very pigmented and I have to keep putting more and more powder on my brush to get a good amount on. The lipsticks are pretty and they stay on for a few hours at a time but they are very similar to each, there is not much of a pigment change. However I do like the way they go on they are creamy and not sticky in the least. The moisture prep has to be my most favorite thing. It does help fill my pores for the mineral foundation. I have a problem with Bare Minerals leaving me very poresome after applying and all the makeup I have to go over with a cosmetic sponge to even it out and I do not have that problem with Naked Minerals. The blackout mascara has an order I do not care for and it isn't that black. It coats the lashes but I go over it another mascara to give it a pop that I expected with the blackout mascara from Naked Minerals. The setting spray when I received it in the mail the spray pumper was not working properly but they did ship me an extra one and even said that if the bottle was damaged that I would be getting a replacement one. The brush set I haven't really used. What I assume is the foundation brush is very small and soft and I prefer mine to be fluffy and somewhat stiff. I have used the eye shadow brush and I do like that as well as the small eye brush. I used that for eyeliner. I do really like those two.
I would have to say that I do really like a few items that I used but do not think I would purchase them. For the blush I believe that it should be a lot more pigmented and I chose the lightest bronzer and it is way too dark for me to use. While I do think the company is really good with customer service and I did have my package arrive just a few days after putting in my order. But for the price of the items I do not think the quality matches. I believe that some drugstore products work much better than these. However if they do offer more variety of lipsticks that I will be purchasing, and I just might purchase the foundation duo again. But the other things I will stick to the brands that I know and love. I hope you all have an amazing day and as soon as I figure out how to post pics on my blog I will show you guys the product.
