Sigh. Why am I so gaga about mineral makeup?
I’ve been waiting for this certain loot for a long time already. I don’t know whats up with the local Postal Office! Darn.
Finally, I get my hands on Dreamworld Minerals. Everyone is going gaga over the fantastic full coverage formula, and I said to myself, I’ve to try this , as a fan of full coverage mineral foundation. Makeup artists tell me only traditional liquid foundation can really give full coverage, and I just beg to disagree. I love mineral foundations that offer full coverage because they truly truly work and even give off a more flawless finish that its liquid counterparts - we just add some mist!
I ordered the following to check on which shade would be best for me- a big pot of Quan Yin ( for my mom who’s fair and with yellow undertones ), Luna - a light yellow shade, and Themis - a beigey light to medium shade ( somewhat a little bit yellow but not quite ). Of all the shades, I’ve settled for Themis for the meantime because my skin’s gone dark this summer, and I’m currently wearing it right now. I sprayed moisture mist on top of it and I’m waiting for results.
For the record, it feels like Jlynne’s foundation on me. I’ll be back with a full blast review of Dreamworld plus the finishing powder ( Whipped Creme ) that they sent me as a freebie!

A full coverage mineral foundation sounded absolutely lovely to me, as does the mystical theme of the site. But I’m damned if I can figure out what the woman is trying to sell. What does “sand” mean? What does “mist: mean? Why can’t she explain in plain english instead of making up mystical analogies for everything? *frustrated*
Perusing the Dreamworld website gave me a headache! Like the mystical goddess names approach to naming the products, but this is not a well-thought out, organized website. No color swatch chart, either.
I did order some samples a few months ago that never arrived. Emailed Ellie (owner) after waiting 3 weeks -she was very quick in her response & like a lot of other reviewers have said about her, her customer service is excellent! She does care about her customers.
She said that my order was mailed out but that she will mail my order again. Two weeks later I didn’t receive the re-shipment of my initial order. I emailed Ellie again & told her to just forget it - credit my PayPal account immediately, which she did.
Ellie said that her kids help her with packing & mailing orders; I suspect her kid(s) NEVER mailed my order - the first AND the second time.
Given that the feel of Dreamworld’s MMU is similar to JLynne’s, I won’t make the mistake of placing an order for DreamWorld again. I sampled JLynne’s MMU and they are horrible! Crumbly texture, not a lot of staying power (even w/primer), difficulty pinning down color match.
LaurEss is the BEST mineral foundation out there, and I’ve tried them ALL. Perfect color match on the 1st try, great staying power & feel. It is a little more expensive than the other online-based MMU companies (EDM, Alima, etc.), but worth every penny!
Thanks for the review of this brand (I’ve also been looking for full coverage minerals.) Did you notice if they have a foundation shade that’s close to Bare Minerals “light”? All the choices are overwhelming…
