I was excited when I got a chance to try Mineral Fusion product line for free (well, for the cost of tax-about $2) through Smiley360. With my coupon, I purchased the powder foundation in light natural. After using it for about a month, I have very mixed feelings about it.
First, I had a really hard time finding the product, and based on emails/updates from Smiley360, many people have had this issue. It is available at Target, but only at select Targets. I live in metro Atlanta, and it is not available at my preferred Target, or even my second preferred Target. So in order to get the product, I had to go out of my way and make a special trip to one of the few Targets in the metro to get it. A big con.
And now a pro. I have horrible allergies and have issues wearing any makeup without it irritating my skin and eyes. Since trying the powder foundation, I have had no problems with an allergic response. It does not bother my eyes at all which is very unusual for any product I put on my face. And it feels very natural.
However, I am not thrilled by the coverage. The powder seems to float on my skin and does not look natural. It also doesn't even out my skin tone nearly as well as a much less expensive pressed powder I have. I also have to reapply it during the day to maintain coverage. For what the product costs (roughly $25), I expected a lot more. For the price, it just isn't worth it for me. I honestly wish I had tried the liquid foundation now (I didn't because I have never found one I like), but there is no way I'm going to spend so much money to try it on my own.
So overall, at least for this specific product, I cannot recommend it unless you have bad allergies and are desperate for a new makeup to try.
