Product Review: Milan Minerals

Here are the items i ordered from Milan Minerals months ago. I took advantage of the 30% discount they had via promo code "30off". You know it's hard to resist the urge to shop when there are tempting promos especially huge discounts. ;)

.

Perfect Presentation- Original Formula/ Untinted
(10gram jar)

Mineral Foundation in Lana shade (25 gram full-sized jar)

and i also got eyeshadows:
Appletini and Teal Me No Lies

They charged me US$5 for shipping, computed by weight. It's not a standard shipping fee you can choose in the usual drop-down menu option. I haven't visited their site recently, so i am not sure if their policy is still the same.

Oh, by the way, if you will only order samples, the shipping is free worldwide. However, samples do not qualify for discounts and there's a limit of 2 shades per sample for every order.

Two extra items (Kiana foundie & Perfect Presentation) for my friend

were included in this package.

..

Lana Foundation (Medium to Heavy Coverage)

As their website suggests, Lana is recommended for those with yellow skintones (Asians). The shade is comparable to Joppa Minerals' Ginger. I find this Milan shade too yellow that i have to mix it with mineral foundie with olive shades or those lacking with yellow tones. I also like the dewy finish. But like most of the mmu i tried, the shade is forgiving and my skin can adapt to the color even if i chose not to mix it with other shades-- it is by applying just a thin layer of this foundie followed by the Perfect Presentation finpow. ;)

Perfect Presentation (Original Formula)

"Airbrushed look, anyone?" I saw this line on their website and got intrigued. They have three shades to choose from: Light, Dark and the one i chose-- Original Formula (untinted). They can be used as either a primer or as finishing powder. The texture is comparable to Earthen Glow Mineral's High Definition finishing powder. They're almost the same for me. Both control the oilies... i love them both!

Joppa Minerals

I received my Joppa Minerals loot today! I'm hearing a lot of nice feedbacks regarding the coverage and the texture of their foundation so i gave in and ordered some sample sizes.

So, fresh from the post office, i'm sharing you the pictures:

I placed my order on their website last August 26, and was shipped on August 28

via USPS First Class Int'l. Mail

I can't wait to try them if it's worth to get full sizes. I'll post my review soon!
