About Monave's Mineral loose powder - Caroline: Light yellow undertone for caucasian and light asian skin tones, also has a faint pink hue. Price: $19.50 Quantity: 1g My experience with this loose powder: The powder comes in a jar packaging with a screw open lid and a detachable cover that has small holes for the product to come out. The mineral powder is extremely fine in texture. On applying the powder using a buffer brush, the powder takes some time to blend in, but gives a medium coverage and matte finish to the skin. I've not experienced any fragrance from this powder and it works great in keeping my oily-combination skin shine free for 4-5 hours while I stay in air conditioned environment.

The shimmers contained in it are very fine and look beautiful on application. The best thing about this powder was that I didn't experience any fall out from it on application. However, I found the powder to be quite dense in intensity, hence very little ...

Check out more details and complete review of this brush below: Price: $20 My experience with this brush: It was a cute small brush that came in a nice plastic case. Before starting with the brush I washed it with a mild cleanser, and experienced shedding of 1-2 hair. And, somehow it has continued to shed 1-2 hair on every usage till now. I've been using this since past 7-8 days now. I tried using this brush to apply Monave's mineral foundation and I was quite amazed to feel the soft sponge like touch from this brush. Seeing the way it worked on my skin, I tried experimenting it with my liquid foundation too and lo-behold I was amazed to see how well it blended the foundation into my skin without even a bit of streakiness. The finish was flawless and...
