Honeypie Minerals #2

My order has finally arrived! *throws confetti*
After placing an order Monday night (3rd Nov), the order was dispatched on 5th Nov... and it arrives just this morning 11 Nov at 11am. It took a while, was a bit worried because I didn't get any dispatched email, but they have arrived! I wonder if Royal Mail is having difficulties...

I've talked about Honeypie Minerals in my previous post. Now I could finally talk about them! I was lucky the package arrived before my shower (hey, I have an afternoon class, don't look at me like that), so I could try it out right away after showering. I've never tried any mineral foundation prior to this one, so I couldn't compare it to anything else.

So, let's talk about the packaging. When I open the mail, the corrector's jar's lid was a bit loose and I was worried but lo behold inside there was a sticker blocking the sifter holes so nothing came out *Phew*. The jar is transparent and the lid is black in colour with the brand name's sticker on it. Not an extravagant packing, very simple, which is a plus for me. The powder and foundation jar also have stickers on them to prevent spillage, another plus.

Now, for the foundation itself, I bought it in the shade Golden Fair. I kind of had a hard time trying to get it out through the shifter (am I doing it the right way?), but when I could finally try it on with my expert face brush, I'm certainly not disappointed. When I look at the mirror, the shade looks a bit pale but there's the window behind me so it might be just the light. My face feels smooth as you could expect after putting on powder, it feels powdery. The cover certainly rivals their liquid counterpart (it does for me). If you're looking for a light foundation, mineral is a way to go. Unfortunately, I could see the little patches I have (I should have wore my moisturiser better). Still, this is a good change for me because I either use BB cream or liquid foundation. Thumbs up!

I also bought the pearlescent powder and green corrector, but I didn't had enough time to wear them properly because I was rushing to campus for lunch before class. Another thing to look forward to then! Just for info: the pearlescent powder can be used for highlighting, setting and giving a bit of a shimmer to your makeup. The green corrector is for redness, blemishes, rosacea, broken capillaries, scars and imperfection.
[edit 12/12/2014] Just tried the green corrector, my impression was: wow, it really does work. When I put on the corrector on, at first it was a bit pale in colour before I started blending them in. The spots on my cheeks were covered, although I think I put on too much. The content of my jar somehow isn't very powdery and I need to shake them (I need to be very careful about this) to break them back to their powder state.

Now... should I try their blusher? I have the Asian flush when it's warm though, that's why I never came close to a blusher, but they're so tempting. As for eyeshadows... I kind of gave up on them. Bronzer? Hmm.

Repurchase? YES PLEASE!! This is certainly a good value for money.
I read from Organic Makeup Artist that they sell refills... how do you buy the refills?

Have I been converted to mineral foundation? Probably. Might be. Yes? It's just there are so many liquid foundation in the drugstores I frequent that it became very tempting, but I'm saving and I always use one at a time so I'm good with what I have now. Mineral foundation is good for my skin, I have to drill that to my mind who likes to wander elsewhere. And it's cruelty-free, who doesn't like cruelty-free things? Shame on you if you say you don't like cruelty-free things.

I should research more on mineral foundation, these will be my life(skin)saver.
