Halo is always sold with the buki brush has it has to be applied with one. The full size with the buki brush is £50 RRP in shop. QVC did it with a large brush which was a much better quality brush.
Clinique has talc and bismuth in their, there has been a thread about the Clinique as bismuth is a major cause of skin allergy with so many people and its so hard to find the ingredients list too.
Hi, have done a bit of digging around and have found the ingredients for the new Clinique Superbalanced make up which are:-
Talc, mica, octyldodecyl stearoyl stearate, zinc sterate, zinc laurate, dimethicone, bentonite, hdi/trimethylol hexyllactone crosspolymer, silica, hydrolyzed soy protein, glycerin, lauryl lysine, astrocaryum murumuru seed butter, squalane, cetearyl dimethicone crosspolymer, lecithin, triethoxycaprylylsilane, tocopheryl acetate, tetrahexyldecyl abscorbate, magnesium myristate, coconut acid, water, tetrasodium eta, chlorphensin, potassium sorbate, titanium dioxide 6.30% , iron oxides, bismuth oxychloride.
Compared to Smashbox Halo which are:-
Mica (CI 77019), Coco Caprylate/Caprate, Isopropyl Linoleate, Synthetic Wax, Polymethylsilsesquioxane, Water (Aqua/Eau), Zinc Stearate, HDI/Trimethylol Hexylacetone Crosspolymer, Silica, Caprylyl Glycol, Butylene Glycol, Phenoxyethanol, Barium Sulfate, Dimethylacrylamide/Acrylic Acid/Polystyrene Ethyl Methacrylate Copolymer, Ethoxydiglycol, Sodium Dehydroacetate, Lycium Barbarum Fruit Extract (Goji Berry), Trisodium EDTA, Peat Extract, Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein, Palmitoyl Hexapeptide 14, Dimethicone, Gold (CI 77480), May Contain: Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Iron Oxides (CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499)
Hope this is helpful to those ladies with sensitive skin. I'm not one of them and considerig the Almost Powder that I use now also contains talc and doesn't irritate me I think I'll still be watching to see if Halo is in the TSV or not. x
