Reviewer – Mineral Makeup News Site

A few 8% of women that use makeup and skin care treatments care if their makeup is natural or not, according to recent global cosmetic studies.  This means 8% or less of women around the globe use natural mineral makeup loose powder or other natural makeup products.

If consumers had the option of pressed mineral makeup brands instead of all the loose powder mineral makeup brands the poll suggested consumers would use the pressed mineral makeup instead of chemical conventional makeup.

Several mineral makeup companies offer pressed mineral makeup including Pur, Purity, Jane Iredale, Colour ID, Studio Direct, Naked, Estee Lauder, and several others.

In conclusion, it’s wise to know what each makeup ingredient is, as cosmetic ingredient names may sound chemical, but are in fact made from natural ingredients.  Several websites offer full lists of cosmetic ingredients such as the Cosmetic Database, and Wikipedia (though we all know wiki is consumer response, not fact so beware).

Don’t be afraid to venture out of your chemically dependent makeup shell and try pressed powder mineral makeup, it be be the difference in keeping your skin younger looking longer.

The question was regarding their new skin care product Loreal Youth Code.  The youth code is a more inexpensive version of their other company Lancome’s Genifique according to claims via Red Magazine UK.  By the way Red Magazine is from the UK and 100% better than any other beauty magazine that US vendors offer.  They have little to no airbrushing, real time models, and facts, not fiction on what works for makeup, clothes, and beauty for women of all sizes   We find it at our local Books A Million.

I am copying what was sent to me via Loreal.  Sad that this company doesn’t know what it sells or where to buy it from country to country, but then again, they just got caught in the illegal price fixing scandal a few weeks back.  I sure would like to see Loreal get i’s act together, it does have great products, though the illegal price fixing was a terrible thing to do to consumers.

Thank you for visiting L’Oréal Paris on the Web.

L’Oréal Paris products are sold worldwide but the product line varies from country to country.

The product you inquired about is not available in the United States.  We have information only on products available in the US and do not know of any way to order this product.  Unfortunately, L’Oréal Paris does not offer an international product online mail order service.

If you would like information about products available in the United States, please visit our website at www.lorealparisusa.com or call us at 1-800-322-2036, Monday – Friday, 9 am to 5 pm, ET.

We are sorry we are unable to assist you with your request and hope that you will find a product to meet your needs.

Sincerely,
Consumer Affairs Supervisor

Youth Code by Loreal is 1/2 the price of Genifique by Lancome.  I guess Loreal is after the money since they aren’t offering this product in the US.  Sad Loreal, very sad.

Colour ID Mineral foundation loose powder sample orders (see website for qualified orders) now come with a free kabuki brush and sifter jar.  We listed to customers saying they wanted our samples to be more like bareMineral and Sheer Cover. 

Though you know we don’t have our products manufactured and packaged by someone else in other countries like the above mentioned and many other mineral makeup companies that have opted to outsource.  We here at Raesin Images take pride in keeping local employees working.  We never opt for China made products or manufacturing.  We want you to know we believe in American citizen’s and the dollar.

Really watch out for misbranded mineral makeup and cosmetics.  See what the FDA says and what action they are now taking to ban misbranded false private label mineral makeup and skin care companies.

It would be nice of consumers found it important to buy from US companies that manufacture in the US to keep our economy going, but we also understand how easy it is to buy China or other country made makeup products because they are cheaper, but how about safety?  We know you all have seen the big scare on baby products, lead in lipstick etc, and the FDA does have a listing daily of fined cosmetic companies due to hazardous materials and ingredients.  So do be careful and use products that come from the US where the FDA is able to inspect facilities etc.

We don’t mind where you buy your mineral makeup or natural cosmetics from, as long as they are regulated on US soil where they are known to be FDA approved.
