This is heavily swatched and when applied with a Kabuki you don't look like a ghost! The powder is translucent and has a very soft sheen. You wouldn't believe the ingredients which are in this base... Vitamin A & C, Green Tea Extract, Aloe Vera Juice, Lavender and Ylang Ylang oils. I'm not sure if the powder is meant to have a scent because of the natural ingredients but apart from me sniffing and then nearly sneezing half the product over my bedroom carpet. I didn't smell the type of scent I was expecting after reading the ingredients contained within in the mineral base. Does that make sense??

The foundations come in a variety of shades and tones which is always a good sign!
I was sent Neutral Medium which happens to be their most popular shade, and perfect for me. The foundation covers well and does the job.

Next up is a mineral blush in the colour 'Candy' which a really nice true girly pink with a lovely sheen which gives the cheek bones a soft radiant look.

Here are the swatches of them all together so you can see how the colours are against each other.


They also stock mascara and makeup brushes, I was kindly sent a mascara and Kabuki brush.


I will talk about the mascara first, which I must admit I was pleasantly suprised about the product. The packaging isn't anything special but as for what's in the packaging is a different matter. I like the brush, it has a strange twist in the middle where the brush tapers slightly into the centre. The brush really coats the lashes and seperates them. However after a few days of using the mascara I found it started to be a little dry and not coat the lashes as well. This only comes in Black.

And lastly the Kabuki brush which sadly didn't live up to my expectations. The stock photo on the site looks great but sadly this was not the case for me, I also washed the brush to see if it would make any difference and it didn't. There wasn't much fall out, which was a good factor however the bristles/hair were not as soft as I'd have liked. There also isn't as much body to the brush unlike other Kabuki brushes. This brush was a lot softer and not as firm if that makes sense? Perfect for a dusting of powder but not for buffing into the skin.
