RAW Natural Beauty
Posted by Denice at 3:30 pm
Mineral makeup is all the rage these days, but how do you know which one is right for you? They all seem so similar, what makes one stand out? RAW Natural Beauty has developed a mineral make up line that does stand out. RAW combines nature and science to deliver a powerful, clinically proven, plant-derived ingredient, which has an organic base for their skin care line.
RAW Minerals delivers a natural color that complements any skin tone, while nourishing with the active botanicals, which leaves the skin on your face smooth, firm, and glowing!
The RAW Mineral line consists of:
RAW Mineral Glow: Light-as-air minerals lend natural warmth to skin for an instant healthy glow that subtly obscures imperfections.
RAW Active Veil with SPF 18: Sheer, translucent minerals help set foundation and provide SPF 18 protection while diffusing light for an airbrushed look that lasts all day.
RAW Active Mineral Foundation: Mineral pigments blend effortlessly into skin for smooth, even, natural-looking coverage with a weightless, silky feel.
I had a few of my fellow Beauty Chatters also try it. Since receiving RAW at the Total Beauty Summit back in May, I have been using it and like it, so I figured I should share my new find, and see what others thought about it. Here is what they had to say:
Andrea: I really enjoyed the RAW mineral makeup. It made my skin feel smooth and light. However, I think liquid foundation is still best for heavy coverage. RAW mineral makeup works great for those days that only light coverage is needed. I have normal to oily skin and RAW minerals did a great job at shine control. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who requires light to medium coverage.
Stephanie: I have never used face make up until I discovered mineral makeup. When I had the chance to try RAW Minerals I really loved the coverage it gave me. Raw Minerals blends so easily and gives my skin a special glow.
Jacquie: I love mineral makeup. There are so many options out there now that choosing one is hard. Raw Minerals is nice, but I do not feel it has the coverage I usually like. It is really light, fresh, and clean, but if you want full coverage, I suggest trying a different brand.
If you are looking for an environmentally safe makeup line with good coverage, you will find it with RAW. Check out their expanded line on their Web site.

It is far superior to Bare Escentuals.
I love that they give you 2 shades to mix & match and the foundation brush is fabulous! -

I”ve been using it for a week and I have roseacea- it didn’t agravate it as most makeups have. I’m 65 and it has gotten me many comments like” What are you doing - you look so much younger”- Besides my skin feels better and less irritated.

If you are trying to order the free sample form RAW Minerals and are having trouble, you would have to cotact them directly through their Web site. Hope this helps! Glad all of you ladies love this make up!

I am a female Zambian by origin, I am very much interested in having your Raw Natural Beauty products as per your advert but I have no access. I would like to have a free test sample and later on start buying. How do I access your products whenever I want to buy?

I am extremely disappointed by this company’s policies and product. I take great pride in my skin care and research fully before deciding on a product. Unfortunately, this was one case in which my dedication to the fine lines must have slipped.
I found Raw Natural Beauty while shopping to find an alternative to my current mineral foundation. This company offered a nifty promo where you can try the product for 30 days and if you dislike the product, you just return the jars. Seems like a good deal right? WRONG!
First I’ll talk about the products: To get the same amount of coverage that I get with my current brand I have to use twice the amount of the product. The RAW product is more than $10 more than my current brand and it comes with a much smaller amount, which means me spending more money on fewer products that are not as effective. Basic math tells me that I should just stick to my current product.
Secondly: When you sign up for the trial, you automatically get signed up for some sort of monthly shipment. If you forget to cancel the trial or just didn’t have the time, they automatically bill you and ship you the products that you didn’t ask for. A well as billing you for the products they sent you originally. So you are looking at over $200 if you forget to call this company.
Luckily, I remembered just in time to call. The young lady canceled my subscription and told me that I have to pay for return shipping of their products and it has to get to them within 11 days. Even if I had the luxury of getting to the post office within working hours, I would have to pay priority to ensure the products would get there within their tight time constraint. When I asked the young lady if there was another option, she told me that I could just keep the jars and be billed a discount.
To me, this is the worst customer service. As if I didn’t already think this company was a scam, I now realize that they are not concerned about their customers, just their money.

I tried these products and found them no different than other types of makeup. Since I normally do not wear make up the outrageous price of $90 for just a start up was way out there. Now suddenly they are charging my bank account $2 evey couple of days for ????? Be very careful when you get started with this company.

This is the biggest scam. They billed me $90.00 for what? It was free trial
and now they want me to send it back. Terrible misleading representation of a product. They suck you in with the ‘free’ then bill you for a product that you don’t want, read the fine print before you sign up. They just want their money. -

Ladies,
I do really appreciate your comments, you all just make me think and not order any free product. I’ll keep using my current product which is more reliable for the years of experience and cost less than $10.00Let’s be more careful when we buy stuff on internet.
