Magic Minerals Original , 12 g (Pack of 1)

This product is useless, it does nothing whatsoever other than make piles of dust! The brush is not included as stated and a small piece of foam rubber is the sponge. Furthermore, it is almost impossible to get out of the packaging and took two of us, plus a sharp knife and scissors to break it open. I normally use Lily Lolo and will continue to do so. Save your money and buy something of quality.

Please don’t be fooled into thinking this is the original Mineral Magic. It’s a copy called Magic Minerals hence the reviews where people are saying they’ve been buying it for years and the quality is now poor. I ordered this thinking I was getting Mineral Magic which I have used for years. This is a much cheaper version ( but charging the same price as the original). It’s powdery and darker and shows on your face making lines more pronounced and leaving orange staining on clothing. It’s disgusting that a company can so blatantly copy a product, changing the wording of product around and take advantage of people. Don’t buy. Stick to the original.

I regret so much getting this migic minerals never ever make this mistake again and belive what there say( oh its do good. ) any way used it thank god just the once. BUT it give my face so much dry sikn that I could not belive it and then I gat so many little spots on face that I had to and see the doctors. I showed the dcotor the magic minerals. He advised me not to use cheap things. And not to bye thing's of the TV. The show some thing else and do some thing else. Any way doctor give me cream to put on. And still it toke me 4 weeks to sort it. So I have bint. Never ever. I would not even give it 1 star. But then I could not write review about.

I bought this thinking it was the same as the JML mineral magic. I opened and started using it and my skin started looking a little less clear than normal. But my lips became dry, swollen, chapped and very very sore and blotchy. I realised it was this foundation affecting my lips and around them. It has caused 2-3 his of pain, discomfort, anything acidic stinging and nothing helping. After a couple of weeks was when I realised the issue but it's still taking a while. Luckily I had some antihistamines different to my normal from an allergic reaction to bites. They are now healing and less painful and swollen but still dry and chapped. It also didn't blend as well so I wouldn't have used it again anyway sadly.

It sounded too good to be true. And it was! I wonder if it is the same product that has 5 star reviews? First of all it is very pale, so it will not suit most skins. Secondly it does not cover mild skin marks or under eye dark patches. What it does do is cake up and make skin look dry and it highlights any wrinkles. A total waste of money. I would have returned it but you have to destroy the packaging to get to this complete waste of space product.

I used this over tinted moisturiser, as I have dry skin and didn’t want to look too “powdery” - however, I can’t see that it does anything. I’ve also tried it dry, and over regular (un-tinted) moisturiser but it doesn’t seem to provide any coverage. I have redness on my cheeks and a few shadows under my eyes, but it doesn’t “balance” my skin tone or put any hint of colour on. I have paleish skin - would normally choose a “natural” or “light beige” foundation - but this does nothing! I was very disappointed with this product - perhaps I was expecting too much. I used a kabuki brush to apply it, as I would with any face powder.

Firstly delivery was fantastic. Ordered late friday night and delivered first thing sunday morning although I would like if delivery person had rung the bell, as I didn't know it was there until I received an email saying it had been delivered and I was in at the time. Product is a bit disappointing TBH. Brush is lovely quality, but the power is sooooooo pale. It goes on well, but leaves me looking like a ghost. I think it should come in pale, medium, and dark shades to suit all skin types. I have light celtic freckled skin that does tan over time, but using this has completely hidden my tan and left me looking pale and ill. It might be ok in the winter, but not in the summer when it hides my tan and means I can't wear it at all. It does go on well and feels nice thanks to the quality brush, but unlike other reviewers have said, I found it looked quite powdery and was visible when I looked in my magnified mirror. Maybe not too visible to the naked eye, but under magnification it highlighted all my fine facial hairs, but maybe all powders do that? As I said, the jury's out. 3 different shades would solve the problem, as I would have purchased a 'medium' to at least give me some colour to even out my skin between my freckles which is what I'd been hoping for. If you are very light skinned, then go ahead, this powder is for you, but if you don't fancy looking pale and 'uninteresting' then I'd give it a miss until they bring out a darker version for slightly darker skin tones, and I don't mean mixed race or black as I'm Irish and it made me look at least two shades lighter than I am. Fine if you like the porcelain look. Update 15.12.16 Ok, updating a few months on. The good quality brush is now rubbish and is shedding bristles all over the place. I had to buy another brush. Also I discovered they do do a darker version as I found it on sale in Asda and it says 'dark' on the cardboard surround. The dark version is a little dark for my skin in winter, but would be perfect in the summer when I have a tan, as described above. The pale one works for me in winter and I now add a little of the darker one on top for some highlighting. Wonder how long this brush will last.

This is excellent value for money. Had mine for about a month now, if not a bit longer and only now starting to hit the bottom of it, despite it's smallish size. I can easily compare it's coverage, skin colour match and ease of use to another baked creme, marbled foundation I used to use which costs almost £30. I think it does the job for me. I use the brush, the sponge is still in its packet as I don't really see the need for it. My skin is oily and I suffer from regular breakouts on my jawline, and this powder does not thankfully go orange as the day goes on. It doesn't completely mask some breakout, but I do feel much better with it on, and don't feel the need to use concealer as this covers enough, about 80% coverage on some breakout. It evens out my skintone and helps tomake my skin look brighter and clearer and more fresh, without being heavy. My advice is to apply it with the brush in a room which has the most daylight. At first it doesn't do much, but keep swirling and applying, building it up until you're happy with it. It doesn't look cakey or orange on me, so I can be very heavy handed with it if I want to, while it still looks natural. It's pretty fool proof, as long as you don't expect it to work like it does on the tv ads by hardly putting any on. Remember, on those ads you only see the cut, edited, short bits they want you to see!

The price on this product is far too high for the quality. I could've bought something similar at Walmart for $15. I'm very disappointed. Not good coverage either. Could've got the same results from a cover girl compact.
