“Lily Lolo mineral foundation is incredible :)”

★★★★★

written by on 04/07/2012

I've been using the lily lolo mineral foundation for a few weeks now and am just over the moon to have found something that truely makes me look like an air-brushed but totally natural version of me!!! :) I have skin that tends to get so dry in patches that I occasionally get excema, and I also have an oily t-zone. My skin is also a typical pale English Rose with pink tones. I have never found a single foundation that didn't look yellow, caked and dirty on me. The lily lolo one is incredible though. I wear candy cane or candy cane mixed with porcelain to match my natural pink undertone and it looks just beautiful. The silk finishing powder gives a dewy finish all over and I put a touch of matt finishing powder on my nose to hold off over-shinyness there. This stayed put and still looked great after running and dance sessions! The trick to good application on my dry skin seems to be a good moisturiser. I tried it once without moisturising first and it looked a bit powdery and felt drying. But I found if you use plenty of moisturiser (I mix my favourite with a touch of BB cream) and let it sink in before applying the mineral foundation, it transforms the effect. It seems to create a lovely dewy finish and when I remove the makeup each day my skin seems to be becoming more healthy underneath! The exczema is already gone! I recommend giving this a go if you have dry/mature skin. Just make sure you use a good moisturiser as a base :)

“Good look and good value”

★★★★★

written by on 29/07/2011

I have had combination skin for as long as I can remember ( I am 50). I also have uneven skin tone. I have tried just about every liquid foundation going and it always looked greasy after a few hours and I had dry flaky patches at the sides of my nose. I read about Lily Lolo in the Times about 2 years ago and sent off for a sample of Blondie. I've not used anything else since. It stays on all day and gives an incredibly natural and glowing look. You can build it up to cover blemishes and uneven skin tones so the coverage is excellent too. My daughter has also switched to Lily Lolo after trying mine. She has a yellowy skin tone which is quite hard to match a foundation to, yet she found a perfect match. I also use the blusher which also gives a natural, warm looking glow. People always comment about how well I look and what lovely skin I have. I don't look 'made-up' at all and don't even feel as if I am wearing foundation. It is quick and easy to apply. One pot lasts for around 3 months (I wear it nearly every day) so it makes for excellent value for money too. The delivery is always really fast too(1 - 2 days). I'm not as taken with the eye shadow as I am with the foundation and blusher. The colours I've tried have always looked too matte and too heavy. I'm not too keen on the texture and prefer Boots No.7 though it doesn't last as long or stay on as well. I have also tried Lily lolo lip gloss and found it is the only one not to give me sore lips. It was quite sticky though (as most glosses seem to be) and only for that reason have I not ordered it again.

“Not the best product available on the market....”

Not the best product available on the market. Foundation colour range seems to be wide; however most of the colours are really disappointing.

“I have been keen to try mineral makeup for a while...”

★★★★★

written by on 06/03/2011

I have been keen to try mineral makeup for a while now, but have always been quite skeptical as to whether it would live up to it's great reputation. I ordered some samples of the lily lolo makeup from the website and it arrived very quickly (2 days). I did not have the proper brushes, just a few old ones but even with these it still made my skin look flawless! It gave me the same coverage as my normal liquid foundation would. I was very impressed at how it felt like I was wearing no makeup at all, the concealer was fab too. What impressed me the most was how it reduced the size of my pores dramatically, you could hardly see them! I have always been worried about the makeup I was putting on my face as I always felt cakey and would break out quite a lot. I feel happy putting this makeup on knowing that it has no harsh chemicals. Very happy with this product and I am now in the process of ordering some full size tubs of the makeup and their brushes too. Would never go back to the horrible cakey liquid foundation after trying this!

“I've been using mineral make up for the last year, but...”

★★★★★

written by on 20/09/2010

I've been using mineral make up for the last year, but finally, I've found one that delivers!
It really fulfils the promise of mineral make up.
For the 1st time ever I've got a foundation that matches my skintone, and the Translucent finishing Silk leaves my skin flawless but natural. Everyone keeps telling me how well I look.
It also has no hidden 'nasties' unlike Elizabeth Arden which I had used for 6 months before discovering it was full of parabens, for me one of the main reasons for using minerals.
And the price is so reasonable I'm going to get it for birthday presents for friends.
So you see I think this is a fantastic product, and I've had lots of make up experience as I'm a 61 year old ex model!
Well done Lily! Oh & thanks, X

“Absolutely brilliant product, a really natural...”

★★★★★

written by on 09/09/2010

Absolutely brilliant product, a really natural coverage. Doesn't last all day but can easily top it up after a couple of hours. Doesn't make you're skin feel cloggy. I use the foundation and the concealer every day after changing from another foundation that used to give me really bad skin. I have never had any further problems since switching to this product as it is so light. The company itself is brilliant as well, very reasonable price compared with other products on the market and delivery always so reliable and can guarantee it comes within 2 days. Never had a problem with the company at all. Would highly reccomend :)

“This is a great product once you have got used to...”

★★★★★

written by on 16/07/2010

This is a great product once you have got used to applying it. If you get too much on your brush then it can looked a little overdone on your face, however when you get that right, it really does look great. I have used Lancome foundation for 20 years, however have found this gives a far more natural finish and blends in really well. The samples are a great idea to find the right colour for you. The makeup lasts all day. I would definately recommend this to anyone considering converting to mineral make-up.

★★★★★

written by on 07/07/2010

I ordered a sample of the 'in the buff' foundation and the 'nude' concealer. I've never tried mineral foundation before but I'm really impressed. I don't generally wear foundation because I find liquid versions don't sit nice on my skin so I thought I'd give mineral a try and I love it. I was sceptical that a powder concealer would cover much but I was really suprised and actually like it even more than the foundation. I've ordered 2 more sample shades of the foundation to make sure I get the best shade for my skin before I order a full size pot but I definitely will order one.

“I usually use Clarins products, including foundation,...”

★★★★★

written by on 20/05/2010

I usually use Clarins products, including foundation, but wanted to try mineral foundation because of the hype and to avoid over-using products containing parabens. I've found LilyLolo mineral foundation by far the best mineral foundation out there; the colours work well with my skin tone (which is fair and yellow toned) brilliantly, it's a great finish, it contains totally natural ingredients with no chemical preservatives and it's a fraction of the price of others. This is a truly great product and I have been purchasing it now for two and a half years.

:-)

written by on 10/05/2010

I switched to Lily Lolo because I like the brand. I have tried the top brands and this one tops my list. I like the fact that they come out with new looks and have sales on a regular basis.

“AMAZING! ”

written by on 23/04/2010

AMAZING!


I've been looking for a foundation pale enough that also covers my blemishes and Lily lolo is perfect. It doesn't even look like I'm wearing any!

“Previously, I have tried No.7, Clinique and L'oreal...”

★★★★★

written by on 07/03/2010

Previously, I have tried No.7, Clinique and L'oreal foundations. They always left looking like I was wearing lots of make up on my skin. I'd have to leave it an hour or so before I started to look a bit more natural. I bought some foundation samples from Lilylolo and have just purchased a 'Get up and go kit' (includes foundation, blush, cover up and bronzer) because I was so pleased with the results. I was skeptical about how much cover the foundation would give as I have acne scars and dark circles under my eyes, however I was pleasantly surprised with the results. It had great coverage whilst keeping my look really natural and lightweight! Fantastic! I have been looking for something like this for ages because when you have bad skin it's so hard to find make up that covers without looking like you are trying to hide your face! I used a primer (Inglot's under make up base) before applying the foundation so that may helped the staying power but I was really pleased with how it stayed til evening. I applied the foundation this morning without primer and the coverage isn't as good but it still looks beautifully natural. This is only the first time I have used their products but I am very pleased with the results. You can buy samples from the website which help to find the right shade for you. If you want good coverage but a lightweight feel and look then give it a go. It's surprisingly good. Perhaps use a primer first though.

“AMAZING!!!! I've tried: Clinique, Prescriptives, YSL,...”

★★★★★

written by Redhaired Paleskin on 26/01/2010

AMAZING!!!! I've tried: Clinique, Prescriptives, YSL, Laura Mercier, MAC, Chanel, Estee Lauder... I have spent my whole adult life searching for a foundation that looks natural but covers imperfections in skin tone and i have finally found it!! I have red hair and pink toned skin and chose BLONDIE foundation which evens out the pinkness and makes my skin look like me only better!! I tried a few sample pots in different colours and when I put Blondie on I thought "where is it?" it is perfect! Also bought blush away for use under foundation, it tones down redness. Eyeshadows, witchypoo and mystery and nude shimmer lip gloss. I love the all!!!

“I love lily lolo!! Their foundation is so much better...”

★★★★★

written by on 05/12/2009

I love lily lolo!! Their foundation is so much better for my skin than anything else I have tried. I used to use liquid foundation and thought that a powder wouldn't be enough coverage for me but i was suprised at how well it went on. The price is very reasonable and the fact that you can order samples is an added bonus. I have just made a second order to get some under eye concealer. The blush is lovely as well and goes on really well. It is nice to put on my make up without feeling that I am mis treating my skin. The deliver is super fast (seriously like a day or two) which is great when u need something urgently. There are useful hints and tips on their website and a youtube video about how to apply. The kabuki brush is a must and should be cleaned every few days.i can't recommend this enough.it is amazing!!!!

“Inferior product, when compared to Bare Escentuals and...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 05/08/2009

Inferior product, when compared to Bare Escentuals and very poor customer service. Twice in the past, with other companies I've asked for a refund due to an allergic reaction and on both occasions been refunded promptly. Lily Lolo refused any form of refund or credit note for their product which made my face feel dry and then itchy. A nasty matt finish made me feel and look like I'd dusted my face in flour or talc . Won't buy from them again or recommend them or their products.

Redhaired Paleskin's Comment

Written on: 26/01/2010

I found this review not helpful because... there is no bismuth oxychloride in Lily Lolo so it is almost impossible to get an allergic reaction! - Unlike Bare Escentuals which does have Bismuth Oxychloride - a serious skin irritant!

I found this review very helpful because...I have also had the dry, itchy experience with some "mineral" makeup. Bare's still my favorite.

I also didn't find this helpful. If you have allergies then you should be reading ingredient lists to indentify what you are allergic to. I do think it's quite cheeky to be asking for a refund AGAIN from yet another company - do you expect to be kept in free products for the rest of your life? Lily Lolo provide samples - anyone with allergies would have bought the sample product first, that's why they sell samples!

“I ordered a trial pot of the porcelain mineral...”

★★★★☆

written by reviewkitten on 17/07/2009

I ordered a trial pot of the porcelain mineral foundation from Lily Lolo as I had read the reviews here and liked the sound of a foundation that looked natural, didn't cake or move into creases plus was kind to the skin.

I've been using it for 3 days so far and bought the Kabuki brush to apply the powder. I'd really recommend getting out a box lid to pop the pot onto as the powder easily escaped and my bed would have been covered! Otherwise it went on well and my skin felt lovely, soft and smooth which is great as the weather has been really warm and the last thing I want is to put on a cream foundation and feel all clammy.

I'm waiting to see if my skin likes it too as normally foundations cause me to either breakout in small spots or eczema, so far so good. I think I will buy the full size version as I love the look it gives my skin.

“I like Lily Lolo's fundation, but it took me a while...”

★★★★★

written by on 18/05/2009

I like Lily Lolo's fundation, but it took me a while to find the correct shade. I am NC30 skin(according to Mac), and ordered almost every sample in light or light medium shad to try, still made mistake by use in the buff as it is dark, so the full size pot £12 going to the waste. Then I realised the lightest shade "porcelain" fits me well. It give me very nice complextion and not at all too white for me, it just looks quite fresh and youthful. I like the coverage. I also like the nude cover up, it is little powdery on the skin but it is give you a good coverage specially my red spot scar. I am not fun of the yellow color -pop up, it is just very yellow color and put under my eyes make me looks ill. Or the brush away- green cover up, it is not worth to have it. so overall, the fundation is good and kinder for skin, day-to day use for the office or go out. I will still use other fundation for the evening or more dress up look
