Joelle Cosmetics Mineral Makeup Review

Joelle Cosmetics Mineral Makeup Review

by Heather
(Spencer, WI )

After deciding to make the switch to mineral makeup, it was important to me to find a brand that was affordable without sacrificing quality. I've never used mineral makeup in the past, so this was my first experience with it.

Once I got used to the application process, I liked Joelle's mineral makeup even better than my old liquid foundation. I found it had better coverage than the liquid foundation I was using, so I liked the results. It was as easy as any other mineral makeup to use, just have to apply in layers (I like doing veil, foundation, veil, then bronzer). And you need to tap the powder into the cap, swirl, tap off excess, then apply, just like most other brands.

I'm 28, and have oily/acne prone skin, so dryness wasn't a problem, and it seemed to keep shine at bay for most of the day.

The price was right, only $10 for a basic-sized foundation. The only problem with the company I have is some of their products are natural (or appear to be) and some aren't. They claimed a mascara they were selling was natural, but after recieving it and checking the ingredients, 10 of the 12 ingredients were irritating to the eyes!

So, my confidence in the company is compromised. I like the price, but I think I'd be willing to pay a little more to go with a company that is truly all-natural and honest.

EDITOR'S NOTES:

Thanks Heather For the very helpful review.

I visited Joelle Cosmetics site and found a list of ingredients that they use for their mineral makeup, blush and eyeshadow. It was not on the individual products page but on an information page that explains more about their products:

Our ingredients include: mica, titanium dioxide, zinc oxide and iron oxides

The company appears to take great care in their choice of natural ingredients for their mineral makeup so even though they do not list ingredients for their other products I think it would be easy to assume that all their products are natural especially when it says natural mascara.

As Heather can tell you it's not always true. It always bugs me when there isn't an ingredient list for each product. It's the only way to be sure.

Doing business with Joelle Cosmetics
by: Anonymous

After makeing a purchase online site from Joelle Cosmetics, I tried Numerous times to contact her by phone and email to no avail! I also paid for Priority shipping. I was afraid I'd been duped ad lost my $100.00, so I did a little reseach and investigation on my own and called her cell phone #. She denied being Kerry Plouse,and said she didn't know what I was talking about! I know for a fact I had the right # and also home # of her and husband Stephen Plouse.. I don't reccommend doing any business with her and I'm contacting the Sayre, PA police Department and filing fraud charges against her!

I just received my first order of Joelle mineral makeup. I had a question about the colors, so I left a comment in the contact box when I didn't receive any word back I called and called. Never got a response back from anyone. I did, however receive my order and do like the gluten free make up, but I give this product a 4 star because of no response which showed me they don't care much about the customer.

Joelle Minerals
by: Karen

I just found Joelle and love it. The foundation is slightly chalkier and shows a bit more than my Bare Minerals, but I really like the eye-shadows (they are messy though!) and am in love with the brown liner. One of the blushes I ordered turned black as soon as I applied it -- it looked pink in the container so I'm not sure what happened there -- might have been filled with the wrong mix? The other blush is nice, if a bit bright. A tiny touch goes a long way. Overall, I'm happy with my order.

joelle cosmetics is gluten free
by: linda

i had been on a long search for makeup that was gluten free. since 3 of my family members are celiacs, it was very important for me to make a big change in about everything we use on our skin in our household. i found joelle cosmetics gluten free site, and boy am i glad i did. they have about everything. i have mature skin so the liquid foundation works best for me and my twin teen daughters use the powders. we now buy all our body washes, shampoos, and cosmetics here. the lipstick pots are to die for. these are the best prices i have found and so far the shipping is always free. it seems to me that joelle really wants to provide us celiacs with truly affordable beauty. i saw something on the site about her also being gluten intolerant which makes me more confident that she really cares and isnt just trying to sell products.

A better Joelle Cosmetics Mineral Makeup Review
by: JILLIAN

i have to wonder if there was some sort of mistake in the product you received. i have been buying off joelle for 5 years now and i get at least 2 mascaras a year. (i like to switch often for sanitary purposes) i have never received a mascara that was not all natural and i know because all the ingredients are listed right on the tube. i get the black and the brown. i see now she is revamping her website to include only gluten free items on her site. some of the usual skincare items are gone and when i emailed kerry about it, she said she was going completely gluten free so some of the skincare was no longer available for now until she can reformulate some items. i think you should contact her about the mascara and see if there was in fact a mixup and see if she can replace that mascara for you. i am certain she will and you will will be very happy her her response and her cusotmer service. she has never failed me and i have spent hundreds and hundreds of dollars with her.
