I ordered products from Christopher Drummond after seeing his website and video clips. He has several videos featuring Easy Eye Solutions and after viewing these I became interested in looking closer at his own product line. I received my products last week and wanted to use them for a while before giving a review. I am generally not a mineral makeup type gal but these products could change my mind....they are beyond mineral makeup. The products make the skin look creamy and do without a doubt minimize pores. I have tried five lines of mineral makeup and this is the only one that covers without my pores showing. Also the finish is creamy which is amazing and the look is truly natural. The eye shadows are to die for they are beautiful very natural colors and they stay on until you take them off. So far my favorite products are the concealer(creamy texture and it covers!), eye shadow, foundation, and a neat product called SAÚDE PELE Radiance Booster.
This is the website and please if others have tried this line please share. I will give a more detailed review on each product in later post.
This is a introduction from his website about the products
Christopher Drummond created luxurious makeup for those who desire 100% natural, organic-based cosmetic products that are the highest cosmetic-grade quality. Our products are made exclusively from healthy ingredients and contain natural antioxidants, such as Açai, green tea, calming botanicals, balancing essential oils, and anti-inflammatory soy isoflavones, which help firm your skin while protecting it against sun damage. Our skincare line does not contain titanium dioxide or bismuth oxychloride, two known irritants.

I have been using the foundation from this line for the last 4-5 months. Bottom line, love it for the color match, finish and staying power.
It is pricey as a upfront payment so I opted for getting a sample anyways to test my color. The sample alone lasted me 2 1/2 weeks so it was a fair time to see how I would like it. I now have the full sized version which I've used the last 4 1/2 months, and it looks like I have 4 more months left of product. So it can be cost-effective overtime.
What I like most is that even without a makeup setting spray, the finish is still dewy looking if at least never dry looking. I use a facial spray afterwards just for double duty. You don't need much and it covers my pores very well. There really is no need for buffing which reduces the chance of irritating the skin with a makeup brush. In addition I find that it has long staying power.
From looking at the ingredients, you would think it would be flimsy but it really works. There is no Bismuth Oxychloride so I do not get the dry itching feeling with foundations that have had this. I realized that there is no whitecast on my face in photographs the past months and thought that was amazing since Titanium Dioxide & Zinc Oxide can do this. However, I checked the ingredient list and they are free from this too. So that explains the nice photos. I use a good amount of sunscreen underneath so don't mind not having the extra sun help.
For my acne scars, I use concealer and was using Dr. Hauschka concealer which was a bit too light for me. I decided to try out C. Drummond's. This is actually the most reasonably priced product in the line. My pot is still going after 4 months with about 2 more left. It's creamy with a moisturizing finish that does dry fast enough to apply makeup over it. Plus it has a light vanilla scent.
The other products in the line do not appeal to me along with their price points. With my orders, I have received a sample of the Revitalizing Facial Serum which worked nicely for some firming due to the DMAE. Still, I know of similar products at a better price.
There are other options for good loose foundations such as Alima, Silk Naturals, and Armoleigh at affordable prices. For me, I prefer Christopher Drummond's as it fulfills my needs but it's nice to have options. If you're interested, I highly recommend that you order a sample size to check it out first if not just for color matching. |
