Ellana vs Bare Naturals Thread 2

[catwoman]

^ Nirelaunch sya last year sis, mga November yata....ako naman 1st time ko kay Ellana pero ang na-try ko pa lang is Bare Minerals kaya gusto ko ito i-try...

Ah yung sa QC nilipat na sa Makati? Eto ba yung sa may Chino Roces Ave...san kaya don? haha

[catwoman]

^ sis, I'm NC25 and I use Hazelnut Latte. I think pwede siya hanggang NC30.
Dati pumupunta ako sa office nila sa QC to personally buy some items pero lumipat na ata sila sa Makati. Siguro pwede pa namang pumunta dun sa kanila to swatch, etc.

ah sige sis check ko yang shade mo..thanks ha

san kaya ang pwedeng bumili ng bare naturals except online and in muntinlupa? tia

Nag-order ako ng primer, loose powder foundation and concealer from Ellana's website! Excited akong matest sila. May free shipping pala kapag nag-exceed ng Php1600 ang order mo.

@catwoman - tinest ko yung swatches nila sa stand nila sa The Ramp sa Trinoma kaso walang stock ng Hazelnut Latte, kaya nag-order na lang ako online Bestseller ata kasi nila yung Hazelnut Latte kaya palaging out of stock.

Gusto kong subukan yung pressed mineral foundation and blush duo nila. Their quad eyeshadows look pretty good too.

Ellana lang yung ginagamit ko nung first 3 or 4 years of college ko kasi mabilis gamitin (well, for me). Na-eexcite ako ngayon dahil dun sa packaging. x)

Reformulated ba yung loose mineral concealers, foundations, and finishing powders nila?

Reformulated ba yung loose mineral concealers, foundations, and finishing powders nila?

Pretty sure they reformulated them. Before kasi diba may Premium Blend, etc? Ngayon Intensive Blend na lang ata ang meron. Nabanggit lang nung sales clerk nila sa The Ramp. Pero I read a lot of reviews and mukhang malaking improvement ang ginawa nila for the reformulated powders!

I like ellana's liquid mineral primer, kasama kayo to sa relaunch nila? Also gusto ko yung mini dense flat top kabuki brush nila, i bought that like 3-4 years ago and good pa rin sila up to now, parang cheaper alternative ng sigma F80. Checked their new site pero parang duna ata to nakafeature?

Btw are their mall kiosks also back now? Tia!

Yup, their liquid mineral primers are back. They have stores in The Ramp sa Trinoma, Shang and Glorietta daw. I've only gone to the Trinoma kiosk pero super liit nya.

Yeah ako rin saka puro out of stock e. San yung mas complete?

[iwannabeasupermodel]

^^ ah sige sis maybe i'll be checking their shang branch to avail the primer. Yung brush na gusto ko di pa muna ako bibili kasi okay pa naman yung meron ako from them and in good condition pa rin sila, it's just good to know i can still buy another innthe event na kailanganin ko. Okay din sa akin yung shart hande so that i can really get close to the mirror. Lol. Hehe.

Sayang wala na yung Ellana nung extra large buffer brush. Sana ibalik nila. ):

[junepets]

i've been using ellana for 3-4 years now..

nakakatuwa lang kasi i am made up pero no makeup look lang..
naiimprove din nya ang texture ng skin in time...

[parpol_haze]

Mga sis, interested ako sa Ellana Minerals because of positive reviews. Gusto kong i-try yung Supreme Blend. I have very oily and acne-prone skin. Sa mga gumagamit neto or naka-try na, effective ba talaga sya as a concealer to hide pimple scars?

[lordknight_aiz.18]

^ i want to try ellana also. sale sila onlline.. 25% yata..

[simang]

the foundation from ellana was my favorite then.. Full coverage and kahit matte sya, hindi flat tingnan. Dati yun yung very oily pa skin ko. Now that i'm a little drier than usual di ko na sya ginagamit kasi more on liquid foundation na gamit ko. Pero i love their foundation i forgot lang what formulation that was iba iba kasi yung mga formula nila

[iwannabeasupermodel]

^^wow 25% off! macheck nga sis. i still have a 3/4 full tub of the 6grams. yung intensive blend ang binili ko though i think i can mix in some of nung concealer/foundie (parang gusto ko ng slightly more coverage) and may very yellow toned akong nakita. 

btw mga sis what brush do you use to apply ellana? mej di ako masaya sa finish and texture niya sa akin. i'm still experimenting. i read from this blog (http://thebeautyjunkee.blogspot.com/2014/02/ellana-mineral-cosmetics-loose-powder.html) na di rin niya nagustuhan finish initially. pero gumamit siya nung mineral brush which helped daw.

[googoo]

I bought Ellana na loose powder, parang my nose is still oily?

[lordknight_aiz.18]

^ maybe you need a primer sis.

super impressed with ellana's eyeshadows.  pigmented and no allergic reaction.
