Is BT Minerals OK?

I was supposed to make a post about our simple Valentine's Day celebration but because I am already a little sleepy and I still haven't uploaded the photos to my laptop I decided to just make a "go" with the entry which I was supposed to publish yesterday but wasn't able to because I was too lazy to blog.

Anyways, I ran out of Mary Kay mineral foundation so I made a stop over at Watsons the other day on my home to grab something that I hope will do until I get hold of a mineral powder foundation from Mary Kay. While I was going through the brands, I saw this one which is quite new to me called BT Minerals. I figured that since I prefer to use mineral make ups, I decided to give it try since the brand said that it's a mineral foundation.


Because the brand it new to me (I want to make it clear that it is quite new to me but I have no idea no long it has been in the market), I scrutinized the label as soon as I got home. The label said that it is distributed by Beauty Treats Int'l Co. Inc. and has an address in Los Angeles, CA so I thought it was probably a good brand. I became a little curious though with the "LIFT HERE" printed at the bottom of the address.


As soon as I removed the top label, the first that I noticed was the country from which BT Minerals are made. Hmmmm...So BT Minerals were made from Taiwan and obviously not from the US. I was happy to know, however, that it was indeed made from minerals based from the ingredients that was shown.


I applied some on my hand just to show you and I don't know if you can clearly see it but it has some shimmer which aims to give that dewy look and it also has a pinkish tint. Upon actual application on my face, I can say that it is just so-so...I really do not like the pinkish tint because it makes my entire face reddish...


Honestly, I don't know how I'll be able to make this product useful and I feel that I wasted my money on this. I should have gotten myself a Loreal instead of trying something that is totally alien to me.


I got it for only Php386.30 so guess I just got what my money's worth. I cannot say if the quality of other BT Minerals products are the same as this one but I am not willing to give those other products a try. One disappointment for one brand is enough for me.

Have you tried this brand? What have you got say? It may not work for me but it may have worked for some people, so let's hear some feedback! ;)
