Joelle Cosmetics & Dermassentials Most Affordable Mineral Makeup

Over the past couple years I have been on a search for the best affordable makeup. Through ebay, I encountered Joelle Cosmetics & Dermassentials. For $8.99 I was able to purchase an 8 piece mineral makeup set. This set included:

• 2 foundations
• 1 veil
• 1 blush
• 1 bronzer
• 1 concealer
• 1 kabuki brush
• 1 instruction card

This set by far is the cheapest set of makeup I have ever seen that wasn't made in China or composed of perservatives and cheap fillers (for example talc).The best part is that all of their products are non-comedogenic meaning that they will not clog pores. Most drugstore and high-end foundations cite that they are oil-free or tested for acne, but it is rare to find ones that are non-comedogenic. Non-comedogenic make up is especially important for someone like me with combination acne prone skin because it will not cause me to have more breakouts.

My reviews on each product...
The foundation
When you purchase the kit they allow you to pick two foundations in order to have the best match. I chose tan and medium. The tan matches me for the summer and the medium matches me for the winter. Since applying the foundation everyday for a week, I have had no breakouts at all. In addition, the foundation lasts throughout the day and stays strong even in the heat. Before applying this foundation, I reccomend that you moisturize and use a primer in order to help the foundation immediately adhere to the skin.

The veil
I applied the translucent mineral finishing veil as a finishing touch to my mineral makeup routine. The powder goes on completely clear and helps to mattify areas in the t-zone especially. I would reccomend bringing it in your purse if you need to blot and touch up throughout the day.

The blush and bronzer
Both the blush and the bronzer have shimmer. Thus, I would not reccommend using the bonzer all over the face. When I applying it, I use it on my cheeks and down my nose. I bought the blush in true rose. The pigmentation of the blush is excellent plus it lasts all day.

The concealer
Personally, I am not the biggest fan of the concealer the kit comes with. I just use the foundation because the concealer comes in only one standard color.

The Kabuki brush
The kabuki brush in my kit was excellent. I have had minimal shedding and it applies the mineral products beautifully.

The instruction card
The instruction card is counted as the 8th piece in the 8-piece set. Its basically a business card with a couple lines of instructions.
