Hi all!
I am loving my aromaleigh but the loose powder Illuminator is a bit tricky to carry about! I'd like to get a pressed powder for touching up through the day. In an ideal world the powder would be:

1. Transparent/VERY VERY Pale/Fair (I'm talking much lighter than BE/JI lightest foundations)or even pale lilac as I use the Lilas finisher too.
2. Talc/Paraben/nastystuff free.(ie.as natural as possible)
3. Possibly Mineral Based
4. Illuminating - ie not too matte and flat looking - when your as pale as me anything too flat makes you look ill/chalky!

Just read that - quiet demanding aren't I!!
I guess I want the aromaleigh Illuminator in a compact! Laughing

Anyway - if anyone can recommend anything I'd be grateful!! Thanks!! Very Happy

The only mineral based compact I know of is the JI pure pressed Confused If there's another one out there please let us know!! That's the only thing that has stopped me from trying another brand of MMU.

I only know from reading other threads that some people like the BE while others like the JI. Seems the BE is more pearlesent and the JI is more matte.....others please correct me if I am wrong Laughing

I am thinking of the BE loose powder but how do you know what shade to select, can you send it back if it isn't right Confused

They also do a powder compact among other things!
Very Happy
