The beauty world has been raving about mineral cosmetics for some time: they are made using only natural ingredients and no nasty harsh chemicals like parabens. 

Launched in 2005, Lily Lolo offers a range of mineral products which won’t clog your pores or irritate sensitive skin. The starting point for a flawless base is LL’s Mineral Foundation. The foundation colours are divided into four tones: Neutral, Cool, Warm and Olive, which means that you can find a shade to match your complexion perfectly. You can also purchase 5g sample sizes, which are enough for around two weeks application and mean thaat you can road test the products and find exactly the right shade to suit your skin.

Having tried out the both the foundation and the “Peep-O” correcting undereye concealer, we are mineral coverts! The foundation feels very light, blends easily and gives that “perfect skin” look, rather than the dreaded “I am Wearing Foundation” face. The yellow-toned concealer could certainly fool your colleagues that you’re an Eight Hours-of-Sleep-a-Night Girl rather running on Five Hours Plus Coffee and Berocca! What’s more the foundation has staying power meaning skin stays shine-free and smooth all day.

And choosing minerals doesn’t mean you have to compromise on colour. Miss Lolo’s blushes and bronzers add a healthy glow and blend flawlessly, allowing you to sculpt cheekbones like a pro. If you’re sold on minerals and are ready to mineralise those eyes, you can choose from a wide  range of eye shadow powders to please the adventurous and the au naturel amongst us. There are also lip glosses, high quality brushes and customisable make-up kits which means you can choose the shades to suit you.  And did we mention that the packaging is super cute too?
