REVIEW: ELIZABETH ARDEN Pure Finish Mineral Powder Foundation

Posted by sarah | Filed under Daily Bread, events


Nothing beats coming home to a package! Especially a package thats got MAKEUP awaiting you!
Elizabeth Arden sent me Elizabeth Arden’s new Pure Finish Mineral Powder Foundation for a review.

The last time I got sent for an Elizabeth Arden product review, I wont lie, I didnt like the product. Ok well not that I didnt like it, I just never saw much (or any) results. So I didnt bother blogging about it.
But I was too darn excited to try out this new Mineral Powder! Infact, I got it yesterday evening and immediately used it on two ladies for their trial makeup. It was amazing! SO NATURAL looking! and today I started using it!! It comes with a really cute tiny brush, but PElizabethArden was sweet enough to send me the full sized brush too (OMG SOFT!) So I decided to keep the brush for the use on my clients and the lil powder puff for use on my own skin as I always prefer a heavier coverage.

Taken from media release:

You know how media releases of ANY product always makes you go “WOW” by just reading it, well rest assured, this powder PROOVES it too.

So basically its a pressed powder below this ‘grinder’, and you twist it, and the powder gets nicely grounded, so you get just the right amount, each time. I know when dealing with loose powder, it can get very hectic. Ive had instances when clients accidentally topple over my whole tub of loose powder and everything goes to waste. :(
So this little design is a very unique and waste-free design! I LOVE IT!

Do check out the Elizabeth Arden counters for your shades! My perfect shade was #2!! So fret not if you’re a lil darker/tanned, cuz they have up to shade #9! :)
 

DISCLAIMER: Product was sent to me for a review, and I did not pay for it. Im not obliged to say anything nice for the review, so whatever you read, are my own honest opinions.

MY THOUGHTS: I have been using MAC’s studio fix for pretty much all my makeup life (thats about the past 5 years?) and when I go to work on most days, I just slap on concealer and powder. and by mid day, 12pm, my skin looks oxidised and dry cuz Im in the airconditioned room. With this new Elizabeth Arden powder, I KID YOU NOT.. my skin looked fresh even at 5pm! I was AMAZED. I merely touched up my gloss and was on my way out. I will be continuing to use this for another week but so far, I like what I see. The only thing I DISLIKE is the size. TOO bulky to fit into most small sized makeup pouches.
RETAILING at SGD58.00

WILL I BUY IT AGAIN? YES! In fact I want to buy the various shades, darker tones especially to use on my darker/tanned clients! Im simply in AWE!

    I just started using this 3 days ago! Received the tester kit free while shopping face facial wash.

    and have been a MAC studio fix user the past 3-4 years, and I’ll have to agree too, elizabeth arden’s mineral foundation is pretty good! This coming from someone who swears by MAC.

    I like the mineral makeup too! The most important point of it is that it is hygenic. You grind only what you need and the rest stays fresh and clean till you need it :)
