L'Oreal tests on animals. :( So even if it WAS good, would it really be worth it?





I haven't tried Revlon's, however, a few friends of mine have. They love it. Revlon also doesn't test on animals, so that's great. What probably made your skin itch was the bismuth oxychloride in L'Oreal's ';mineral'; foundation. Revlon's list of ';mineral'; ingredients contain bismuth oxycloride, sadly. Here is a review from someone who bought it : http://www.blog.makeupmoxie.com/2008/01/鈥?/a>





The complete list of ingredients of Revlon's:


Talc , Silica , Nylon-12 , Polymethyl Methacrylate , Trimethylsiloxysilicate , Dimethicone , Cyclopentasiloxane , Perfluorononyl Octyldodecyl Glycol , Grapeseedate , Polyethylene , Mother of Pearl , Topaz , Quartz , Silk - Serica , Cymbidium Grandiflorum Flower Extract , Lactobacillus/Eriodictyon Californium Ferment Extr , Lilium Candidum Bulb Extract , Mallow Extract - Malva Sylvestris , Dimethiconol , Dimethicone/Silsesquioxane Copolymer , Triethoxycaprylylsilane , Lecithin , Alumina , Lauroyl Lysine , Phenoxyethanol , Methylparaben , Ethylparaben , Propylparaben , Mica , Titanium Dioxide - CI 77891 , Iron Oxides - CI 77491 - 77492 - 77499 , Bismuth Oxychloride - CI 77163





If you like mineral foundation try Everyday Minerals. It's what I use. I LOVE LOVE LOVE it! Amazing coverage for just $12. You can get a free sample kit on their website. everydayminerals.com. Just pay shipping and handling.


They also have a wider variety of color choices.





I hope all this info helps! If there's anything else ya need to know about mineral foundation, I'm your girl! :) I'm addicted to it!





EDIT:


Everyday Minerals comes in 4 different formulas: semi-matte, matte, intensive, and original glow. Semi-matte for normal to combination skin types, gives you a creamy matte finish with a subtle shine while controlling oil. Matte for normal to oily skin types, gives you an essentially shineless yet silky smooth finish while controlling oil. Intensive (is what I use) is for all skin types, provides an extra boost of lasting intensive coverage with a silky near-matte finish (the rejuvenating formula controls oil where needed but doesn't dry out skin.) Original Glow formula is for normal to dry skin types provides you with a dewy glow and useful appearance. All of the formulas come in all of the colors.L'oreal true match mineral foundation vs. revlon colorstay mineral foundation?
If it made your face itchy, you are probably allergic to bismuth oxychloride, which is a common ingredient in mineral makeup but is also an ingredient that many people are allergic to -- itchiness is the most common symptom.





Read the ingredients carefully and try to find a brand without bismuth oxychloride. Also, be aware that many drugstore ';mineral'; makeup is simply traditional makeup with a few minerals mixed in -- thus it does not give you the benefits of pure mineral mineral makeup since it still contains many of the artificial ingredients in traditional makeup.





My favorite bismuth-free brand is Aromaleigh.com. Their foundation has a matte finish (bismuth is often used to add shimmer) but they have shimmery finishining powders if you prefer a dewy or shimmery finish. If you're on a budget, their sales change every Sunday so just wait for your product to go on sale, and then the prices are pretty close to drugstore brands (but the quality is way better than the drugstore brands, IMO! I wore drugstore makeup for years but now that I've found Aromaleigh I'm not going back!)





I also tried Everyday Minerals which was mentioned by another user. I think it would work well for dry and possibly normal skin, but on my oily skin it quickly turned ORANGE! And many other people online said the same thing so it's not just me. But they do have good prices so they're worth a try if you don't have really oily skin.





Good luck and I hope you find something that works for you!
