right now i've just switched to nude by nature mineral foundation and skincare .. it's all natural so it's less harsh on my skin and I'm definitely loving the fact that the foundation doesn't rub off so easily cause it's a powder!

just google search and u'll find dat this brand is avail primarily in aussie n nz.
price wise not say very cheap (aud34-40 for the powder foundation; based on prices found on various aussie online pharmacies); compared to those indie small mineral/natural makeup businesses.
a big con of the foundation is that there are only 3 shades.
brand's own site doesnt seem to have ingredient listed but from one of the pharmacy site, its
Mica, Zinc Oxide, Titanium Dioxide, Magnesium Stearate, Kaolin (Australian Organic Clay), +/- Iron Oxides, Ultramarine Blue.
if list is correct, all in all, not bad; i would consider this a true mmu.
angelatang, besides the minerals, there is clay to help with oil control so my guess is its fine for oily skin.
lets look at the skincare range...
randomly checked out one of their lotions and ingredients listed as
Water (Aqua), Jojoba Esters, Sucrose Polysoyate, Hydroxypropyl Starch Phosphate, Polysorbate 20, Cetyl Alcohol, Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Distillate, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter) Fruit, Salicylic Acid, Dl-Alpha-Tocopheryl Acetate, Corn Starch Modified, Cetearyl Alcohol, Citric Acid, Disodium EDTA, Fragrance (Parfum), Glyceryl Stearate, Hydrolyzed Jojoba Esters, Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate, Sorbitan Stearate, Sodium Hydroxymethylglycinate, Stearic Acid, Triethanolamine, Citral, Geraniol, Limonene, Linalool
have some decent stuff but strictly speaking definitely not "all natural" (as deemed by OP sophieB).

oh u have easy access to aussie based purchasing?
er u know i dun have personal experience with this brand's pdts right? i kaypoh helped with reply cos the topic title attracted my attention, cos i saw dat the OP has not reappeared in sls after that initial post and cos the answers to the qns raised can easily be found via simple googling.
i dun know u, ur beliefs. i am not the ideal person to recommend/not recommend.
all i can say is their mmu formula is something i can personally accept as i've used similar and know those dun break me out (keep in mind different skin different reactions).
the price is another story (i am quite the cheapo hehe).
as for the skincare, i made dat comment simply cos i dun wanna others to be misinformed by the OP's all natural declaration.
i have no problem with most of the ingredients, even the processed not so natural ones (as long as they serve a crucial function eg. to emulsify, to preserve and cannot be adequately replaced with all natural alternatives currently being offered in the market).
however, i do spot some personal iffys.
eg. i will prefer for em to use the natural n more bioavaible form of vit E ie. D-...-tocopherols.
eg. i rather skip the added artifical fragrance as my nose is more used to non scented or naturally scented these days.
eg. sodium hydroxymethylglycinate(formaldehyde releasing apparently), triethanolamine...still on the fence about these so meantime can avoid, avoid hee.
eg. blah blah

hey guys,
i asked my cousin about it n she says that it works for her(she too has oily skin) but to find out we need to know the opinions of many people which we can by like olaf said, googling. there are many websites where people recommend or not reccommend products n can help you make decisions if you should buy the product or not.
