Lily Lolo?

[Dreamergirl3]

Has anyone tried Lily Lolo mineral makeup? It's a UK brand, I've read some okay reviews and was wondering if anyone here has tried it!
Apparently they ship all over the world according to the email I got asking if they did. But I haven't ordered anything...I'm thinking of trying samples! If anyone has any info on this company and/or their products, I'd really appreciate it!

Hi there,

I'm now on m second pot of Lily Lol mineral foundation and i think they are FAB! I first bought about 10 sample colours until i got the right colour (one for winter, one colour for summer) and now i order from them a couple of times a year (their foundations last AAAAAGES!!!). This is def my HG foundation now, I wouldn't even bother going elsewhere now I've found them. PLUS they deliver VERY quckly. The first thing i noticed about lily lol foundation is that they make your skin look lik you've got high beam on or something, it makes you skin look perfect.

thanks for the review!!!

I ordered some samples of eye colours and cheek colours from them before.

Here are some swatches that might be useful for you

Hi, yes I ordered some samples recently and they came very quickly! I'm quite pale and ordered Porcelain (too light for me though, this is for super pale people), Blondie (which is a good match, I've been using it for about 2 weeks now) and Candy Cane (a bit too dark and pink for me).

These are the first mineral foundation I've tried so I don't have much comparison, but I like these quite well. I got the light concealer also and found that a bit too light (also for super pale people).

Here's a pic of me wearing Blondie

wow it looks great! thanks for the swatches mspiggy, and for the pic Saints! I think it looks great, very natural. gah I can feel my wallet getting lighter..

I tried a few samples and didn't think much of it to be honest. The concealer seemed a bit pointless as it just caked in my fine lines and the foundation went cakey on my oily skin. I suspect the people MM works best for are those with fairly flawless skin. I am yet to see before and after pictures of real people (not the women on the adverts!) with bad skin!

The good thing about Lily Lolo is the cheap samples they sell, it means if you don't like it you haven't wasted a lot of money.

It's around 2 dollars

I bought their eyeshadow sample in Khaki Sparkle, and it's gorgeous. I recommend trying it!

I also bought their foundation samples in Cookie and Butterscotch. I'm about an NC40/42 in MAC's Studio Fix.

I found Cookie too light and Butterscoth far too yellow for me (this is surprising considering the amount of yellow I have in my complexion!).

Their sample prices are very reasonable though, so do give it a shot!

Lily Lolo is not bad, but I wasn't wowed by them either - the foundation doesn't have much coverage but is pretty fine and not cakey. I wish the blushes would come in little jars too because the baggies are so small that I have to pour some of the powder into a small bowl b/c my brush doesn't fit in the baggie. I also got some e/s but Green Tea practically doesn't show up on me. Golden Lilac and Pink Champagne look very pretty in the baggie but I haven't tried them yet...

I'm having a few issues right now trying to find a Lily Lolo foundation match! Delivery is fast (I got my Sunday order on Tuesday, and my Wednesday order today - Thurs) but I keep ordering the samples and finding them not quite right

I know the samples are fairly inexpensive, but it starts to stack up! I just ordered another 4 today: Blondie, Warm Peach, Porcelain and Fortune Cookie.

This is the 2nd powder mineral foundation I've tried (and it's only my second day of wearing it), so I haven't quite got the technique completely down, but so far I'm liking the way it goes on. Coverage is good. I actually prefer MAC's Mineralize Satinfinish (I *loved* the glow and the lightness, and NC25 is an EXACT match... and I didn't have to spend lots trying samples!!) but, sadly, it made me itch

If anyone would like samples of In The Buff, Popcorn, Sahara or Warm Honey (all swiped just once: too dark for me!), let me know... I'll probably have anther 3 to add to this list by tomorrow when (hopefully) the rest of my samples will arrive (my shade's GOT to be in there somewhere!

)

I have the foundation in Porceline (Yes, I'm super pale!) and it's nice but doesn't have amazing coverage. I wore it in Summer in the daytime when my skin was a bit better and it looked very very natural but gorgeous and feels like you're not wearing any makeup. It's just a shame that my skin requires more coverage in winter otherwise I'd wear it more often.

I bought their foundation samples in Sahara, Fortune Cookie and Popcorn. Fortune Cookie looks a bit too yellow (but bright luminous yellow) when I first put it on, but after a while it blends in with my skin nicely. I just ordered a full size of Fortune Cookie foundation the other day as I really liked it. It brightens up my face nicely and doesn't irritate my skin like other MMU I've tried. As for their blushes, I've tried Sweet Cheeks (too light), Cheeky Cheeky (very nice, but I already have too many peachy shades) and Rosy Apple (beautiful color and I ordered a full size of this too). I think I'll try their eyeshadows and Star Dust shimmer next. Oh, and their delivery service is super fast.

I was thiking of trying their stuff, I have heard good things. I'm not sure which shade is me though. I have blue eyes, dark blonde hair and fair skin. I know I am cool- toned so I was thinking along the lines of 'candy cane'. thing is, most companies that do pink tones foundations actually are like BRIGHT pink! So I'm umming and ahhhing over whether to buy it! My only advice to you guys is DEFINATLEY order the samples. £12 is a pretty expensive mistake to make if it isn't your shade!

I have pretty red skin around my nose area, under my lip - chin area, like really red. broken capillaries you might call it? and i have pretty rosy cheeks, and sometimes i break out, and when i break out, its not just one pimple, its like 10. it works VERY well to cover my skin and my skin looks flawless.

Haven't tried this brand, but I recommend Alima.

 

[cynpat2000]

I tried my samples and have to say im impressed, its the only mineral foundation ive tried, and ive tried tons, that will stay the day on my oily skin. Im in love with it. I even ordered a fullsize and cant wait to get it.

I can wear either candy cane and blondie, I actually like candy cane better on me though, its the light cool shade and its not noticibly pink either which is great..

I'm also a MAC NC25 and Fortune Cookie works beautifully on my skin.

are there more people who can tell about the coverage of their mf?
how long does the mf last on your skin without adding anything...?
