Reader Colleen Burkill recently wrote to me about a rare skin complaint she currently has, in essence an allergy to sunlight that causes a red rash which, as you can imagine, is fairly distressing for her. I recommended Bellapierre Mineral Cosmetics because they are completely 100% pure mineral and therefore very gentle on lots of skin complaints. This is what Colleen had to say about the brand.
Aly, I thought I’d drop you a quick email to let you know how I’m getting on with the makeup you recommended. I actually invested in the Bellapierre mineral foundation which is fab. I can’t rave about this enough, I sweated my way through Zumba and my make up was still in place, as if I’d just applied it! I also love the fact that you only need one product which acts as your base and powder – can’t thank you enough for introducing me to this brand. I was that impressed, I invested in a powder blush – again brill product that lasts all day and comes in a great range of colours.
Bellapierre also has an offer at the moment where you get 3 eyeshadow pigments, 2 eye shadow applicators and a base (concealer) all for 25 quid – considering the eyeshadows alone cost 12 quid – this is a major scoop! So I invested in this also.
I know you are familiar with the product, but I’m really impressed by the versatility of it – especially the pigments. Where, simply by adding water you can: intensify the colour or use as a liquid eyeliner; mix with the base and matt pigment; mix with Vaseline or lipgloss to create a lipstick; and, mix with clear nail varnish to create your very own nail colour – impressive stuff.
Anyhow, a big thank you for your advice – absolutely love the brand!

Hi Aly,
I should add – the two eyeshadow brushes you get as part of the current Bellapierre ‘deal’ are £14 each – So, all in all, a massive saving – madness! Suggest you all head to House of Fraser NOW and stock up on this fab cosmetic range and offer.
Thanks again,
One very satisfied reader – Coll x
Thanks for the review Colleen and the advice Aly.
I’ve never tried mineral makeup before, but this brands seems like a good place to start. I like the ideas for the use of the pigments….a real opportunity to be creative!
Thanks so much for this post, Coll and Aly.. I went out today purely on your recommendations and bought the said deal. I was totally won over by the quality and versatility of the products… can’t wait to get experimenting! xx
I was with Rosa when she went to purchase said products and I must say I am also very impressed with this brand. The colours are to die for. I will be cashing in on this deal also. Thanks!
