I’m admittedly biased when it comes to The Body Shop. I’ve been a huge fan for years, 13+ years to be exact when I first purchased some oil blotting papers and a great tea tree oil blemish zapper.
Fast forward to today, and I’m excited to share with you Nature’s Minerals make-up collection from The Body Shop. I’ve played with the foundation, blush and eyeshadow for few weeks. Testing and comparing it to other lines and came away pleased.
First let me share with you the criteria – the things I wanted from a mineral makeup. Most important was no reaction. Some other mineral make-ups I had tested caused my skin to burn and itch at the slightest evidence of perspiration – that’s major considering I live in the heat and humidity capital of the USA – South Florida. Check! No burning, redness or uncomfortable irritation.
Next, layerability. Perhaps, I made up a word, but in essence I wanted a makeup product that I could build from sheer to heavy. Again check.
The mineral makeup went on smooth and had good staying power. My favorite was the eyeshadow mineral makeup. So incredibly smooth and went on like a dream – that’s a big plus for us almost 40 types. The last thing we need is eyeshadow that drags and accentuates those fine lines.
Overall, I liked the line. Wish they had a bigger color selection, other than that I was quite pleased.

How much of a factor is nutrition in the scheme of skin care? I’ve seen some very obese women who have magnificently beautiful and smooth skin.

I think your dream come true this morning. In take of the food which contains more mineral content is really good for the body. Try to drink more and more water.

The wrong makeup can cause acceleration of the signs of aging. Mineral makeup are the best because they avoid clogging of pores. Therefore, if you want something that doesn’t accelerates the signs of aging, use mineral makeup.
These kind of makeup have been gaining popularity. Body shop is one of the famous brands because they are affordable.
However, i like what you did. You actually do skin testing first before putting it on. I think this is one vital step in choosing the right make up. Even if it claims to be all-natural, you don’t know what manufacturers have added. And all people have different levels of sensitivity.
