Re: Micabella??

I went to a Micabella kiosk a couple of days ago after someone else had brought them up to me. Very interesting that the bottom of the foundation jar had the ingredients listed as Mica and iron oxides, but an SPF 15 rating. Since there was no zinc oxide or titanium dioxide listed on the ingredients, there's no SPF. Or the jar is improperly labeled, so lord knows what ELSE might be in there as well. And unless they've had their products tested, they can't legally make any SPF number claim. All of the eye shadows I picked up had a combined ingredient list (one size fits all) of mica, iron oxides, may contain titanium dioxide, carmine. Which contain carmine? What if I'm a vegan? Which DON'T contain titanium dioxide so I know not to buy them since they'll have little staying power? Pay through the nose, get inaccurate information. I'll pass.
