It’s not unusable but it’s definitely a step down from the usual application method.
My experience over the last few weeks has shown that nine-times-out-of-ten, I just don’t get an even distribution of product across the brush head. The dispenser is only able to flow product from two holes at either end of the brush (shown above where the two pink “plugs” are located). With this gadget, you’re working from the opposite end of those brush fibres and the powder needs to work its way down to the tips from the base. During normal use, you’d just dip your brush into the sifter to coat the tips with a fine layer of powder. Secondly, it takes a lot of effort to get the powder to distribute through the brush evenly. What if I’d fallen in love with it only to discover that my product-lust was subject to a time-limit? This is a one-off novelty purchase, and this irks me a little. There seems to be some confusion online about whether or not you can top-up the contents once they’ve run out. Now, whilst the product does all of those lovely things (I’m a long-time fan), unfortunately the limited edition dispenser doesn’t really add much to the experience.įirst things first, it’s not refillable.
SPARK PLUG MOXIE PLUMPING LIP GLOSS FOR DARK SKIN SKIN
The 8g of Mineral Veil powder is housed in one end of the revolving “clam shell”, while at the other… a soft brush dispenses the product onto your face, blurring imperfections and giving your skin a final gloss. It’s basically a cross between a gadget and a beauty-item and you can’t tell me that you beauty-loving souls don’t love a bit of gadgetry with your cosmetics, ‘cos I know you do! The brand’s Limited Edition 15th Anniversary Mineral Veil Finishing Powder looks the damn business, let’s be honest. Unfortunately, I can’t say the same about the latest innovation coming from bareMinerals HQ. It was a game-changer… no more loose minerals floating around on the wrong side of the pot, no more having to poke selectively through the labels with a biro, exposing only a few sifter-holes at a time. One of the best beauty innovations in recent times was when bareMinerals finally made their sifters, lockable.
