samina mineral makeup haul & review

i have been meaning to do this but had many things pending to do instead, sooo i bring you this now

i brought samples of foundation in medium and fair and brought the mini 5 piece makeup kit £19.99 (which is expensive for mini sample set!) this makeup kit includes in a beautifully elegant organza drawstring gold baggy with pink tissue paper wrapped:

- blush (no brand name engraved on top of pot) colour- iced tea (too glittery shimmery)

- eyeshadow (no brand name engraved on top of pot) colour grape

- 1 foundation medium

- setting powder- colour medium

-mini kabuki (no name)

i also ordered a sample of foundation in colour- light

the blush omg i thought it was a eyeshadow lol, because its farr too shimmery and glittery, and its not really a highlighter either? i was somewhat confused?

they all have names for colours,

the benefits is that they all are halal,

samina pure makeup claims that it is- free from animal content, alcohol, chemical, bismuth oxychloride, paraben, synthetics, talc. its all pure goodness...

however the downfall is that all products by samina pure mineral does not have SPF to be competitive with other minerals such as bare minerals that offers benefits, and elf. but their prices are similar to high end brands which i think is a downfall, for those who don't believe in spending too much on makeup, but want to look good.

i was going to try out their eye shadows, but i know i need a primer, so it defeats the whole purpose of having "pure goodness free from any impurity" however as i still need a moisturiser, concealer and a base that may contain elements of not being halal.... this means my eyeshadow and face powders may not last and possibly defeats the whole purpose of being halal from the start.

unless they make halal makeup base or facial cream, to stop you from worrying about makeup not lasting. but am sure they will last few hours on oily skin but for dry skin possibly all day? (not sure)

i would have tried out all of their items but i don't feel like spending money on their blushes and eyeshadow i think its expensive. maybe when its on sale

ill just stick with bare mineral which i think they are competing with, but lessly priced id rather stick with low budget ELF mineral for now... they are similar but are skin loving and has SPF, sadly not halal!

but do try it out!
