Battle Of The Beauties: FOA Mineral Therapy Illuminator VS Nude By Nature Soft Focus Illuminator

Wednesday 28 March 2012




Illuminators are something that I've known about for a while but don't use them often. Until I started seeing the Face Of Australia Mineral Therapy Illuminator popping up on Aussie blogs EVERYWHERE! (You've seen a few, right???) FOA have 4 different colours and I choose to get the Angel Flame which is a pinkish colour with a golden glow. 


I absolutely adore it!!! This is a mineral formula that contains vitamin C & E and Jojoba. It is also suitable for sensitive skin on the face or body. I use it most days as a blush. It gives you a gorgeous pop of colour and makes your skin glow. Due to the fact it is pink, I don't use it as a all over glow, i just keep it to my cheeks and cheekbone. 


This is where the Nude By Nature Illuminator comes in. This is more of a golden apricot colour and I love to apply it to my foundation for those days i need an extra glow. The great thing with it is a little bit goes a long way. It will last a lifetime!!! The same with the FOA Illuminator. It gives you that gorgeous Kate Hudson beachy glow, she is famous for. Skin that looks bright, healthy and has that glow from within look. It also has anti oxidants in it, so it is great for your skin! 


Left to Right: NBN Illuminator, NBN Illuminator rubbed in,
FOA Illuminator in Angel Flame, FOA Illuminator rubbed in.


I love them for different reason, and think they are both as great as each other. It just depends if I want an all over glow, or just to bring out my cheeks. 


They both are great prices. FOA is $14.95 for 50gms and the NBN is $22.95 for 50gms. The only downside is that NBN only have the one colour, while the FOA has 4. A white, 2 pinks and a bronze. They both don't test on animals too.


Both of these can be applied all over the body, or face.


Which one is your favourite?

  3. I use the NBN one and I love it! I use NBN powder foundation and love to apply the illuminator before I put my foundation on. It gives it such a subtle sglow to it that you can use during the day without looking too done up.

    Haven't tried FOA. I have a few products of theirs and have either really loved, or not liked them so I'm a bit wary but for the price of their products, its not big loss!
