Beauty Product Review: La Bella Donna Minerals on the Go

I’ve partnered with TRIB3 Chic for the past few months to bring luxury beauty brands to the Naturally Glam Fam on my Facebook fan page, and the latest product that I’ll be giving away is the La Bella Donna Minerals on the Go foundation. The link to enter is at the bottom of this post.

La Bella Donna is a revolutionary, pioneering concept in cosmetics: Minerals that behave like makeup. It is a complete collection of mineral-based formulas that are actually healthy for the skin. La Bella Donna Loose Minerals provide a naturale alternative to chemical makeup in order to insure the health of the skin as well as the body. Our skin is our largest breathing organ and everything we put on it is filtered through the liver just like the food that we eat. We do not want to absorb chemicals into our bodies. La Bella Donna Minerals can be worn by people with immune deficiency diseases. Aestheticians apply La Bella Donna at the end of the facial and plastic surgeons and dermatologists use after all treatments, including post-op laser. La Bella Donna truly bridges the gap between wellness and sophisticated beaute.

What They Say
MINERALS “ON-THE-GO”. The travel-friendly La Bella Donna Minerals dispensing brush with white goat hair allows minerals to be directly dispensed into the brush. Uniquely designed, Minerals “ON-THE-GO” provides a dial system at the base of the brush that allows you the freedom to decide how much or how little coverage you require. Love being outdoors – La Bella Donna Minerals provide an all natural sunblock (UVA-UVB) which lasts all day without re-application. Lightweight feel, heals, protects, beautifies, and corrects all skin challenges. A locking mechanism prevents any worries regarding leakage of the product. A trusted travel companion must-have for men and women who are “on-the-go”.

What I Say
While it took a few minutes, and getting powder all over my bathroom sink, to figure out exactly how to work the dispenser, once I got that down pat I was good to go. The mineral powder was nice and fine, and easy to apply. My only complaint is that the colors are very limited and as a woman of color I found that a huge problem. I ordered the darkest color available, which said it was for medium toned skin, it was still too light for my skin. So I used it to set my highlighting concealer which is a little lighter than my completion. It worked really well, and prevented any creasing and maintained a flawless look. However, at a retail price of $65, I would not get the value from it just using it to set concealer. If this product was available in my skin tone, then it would be worth that cost as my face foundation powder. Hopefully, La Bella Donna will expand to include all skin tones.
