3ina (Mina) cosmetics: pros, cons and product descriptions

Mina brand cosmetics are primarily associated with an explosion of color, extravaganza of shades, and durability. However, in the line you can find more "calm" decorative cosmetics, as well as effective care compositions.

3ina (Mina) is a relatively young (appeared in 2014), but rapidly growing cosmetic brand from Spain (production is in Britain). Some people mistakenly call the company "Zina", but in fact the first letter is not "Z", but an inverted "M". Brand concept - a positive attitude towards life, freedom from other people's opinions... The manufacturer is sure that cosmetics are created for experiments, without which life is boring and monotonous.

This is manifested primarily in a bold and original color and design solution, which is obvious from one glance at the company's products. So lovers of bright looks should definitely pay attention to the brand's products. However, for connoisseurs of a quieter make-up, as well as admirers of an imperceptible nude, the manufacturer produces a considerable amount of funds.

The advantage of Mina brand products can be considered rich color palettes. There are classic shades, and nude, and incredibly bright, even acidic. Limited collections include decorative cosmetics that glow in the dark. Remarkably, products in bright, unusual shades (for example, colored mascara, black or silver lipstick) have good hiding power. This is an infrequent characteristic of such cosmetics. Even when applied in one layer, they give an even and rich color without streaks.

Users check many advantages of cloth masks. Unlike many Chinese counterparts, the Spanish brand's products boast precise anatomy. That is, all the slots for the eyes, nose and mouth are "in place". The mask itself is qualitatively and densely impregnated with a creamy composition.

In general, according to reviews, 3ina cosmetics are a quality product suitable for daily use at an affordable price. A downside is the inability to buy products in ordinary cosmetics stores. However, this is typical for many cosmetic brands - they are sold only in official stores. However, online stores also function, in which, by the way, promotions and discounts are often held, and the choice of products is more extensive.

The main feature of 3ina (Mina) decorative cosmetics is these are rich pigments. They are obtained through the use of innovative developments. Almost every review of cosmetics notes that 1-2 layers of the product are enough for a rich color. The products are free of parabens and prohibited fragrances. The percentage of "chemistry" used does not exceed that permitted by international standards.

Separately, it is worth noting the presence in cosmetics (any - decorative, care) plant extracts. Most often it is glycerin, chamomile extract, vitamin E and others. They provide hydration and protection to the skin, fill it with radiance and give it a rested look.

Let's consider the most memorable and popular products of the company. First of all, these are creamy waterproof shadows. Their peculiarity is that on the eyelids they look the same as in a jar, even if you apply the product in one layer. It is a waterproof product that stays on the skin for up to 24 hours without having to use a make-up base. True, and you need to apply the product with caution, a certain skill is required - the shadows are grasped instantly. The palette is quite extensive (from white, cream to violet-black), there is a limited collection of fluorescent shades.

If creamy super-long-lasting shadows are not your option, then in the brand's line you can find palettes with more familiar loose shadows Mina The Eyeshadow... These are monopalets of various shades (the palette contains 40 colors) - from calm to extremely bright.

Then, after using the product, it is impossible not to notice the soft creamy texture. They are easy to apply, do not scratch the skin, and fit well due to their texture and rich pigmentation. Even without much experience in using this type of tool, you can easily draw perfect arrows.

In the assortment of the brand a considerable number of mascaras, but the dividing one is especially popular, with a brush with different lengths of villi... Shorter villi are located on one side - it is assumed that it is for applying mascara. The side with the longer villi is used to separate and curl the lashes. As a result, all the eyelashes look neat, there are no glued or those with excess mascara. The product is waterproof. In general, carcasses are the company's business card. The assortment includes a huge number of compounds that differ in action. For those who like to be the center of attention created mascaras from a limited collection. They amaze with their palette - gray, dark blue, bright lilac, deep purple and other shades.

However, the brand also took care of lovers of nude makeup. In their line you can find sheer mascara that separates and adds shine to lashes... In short, it emphasizes their natural beauty.

Attention is drawn and oil-lip balm. The thing is that in a transparent tube its contents are yellow and green. However, when applied to the lips, it turns out to be a transparent gel that softens and moisturizes the lips, giving them a light shine. If you want to fill the lips with color, it is recommended to take a closer look to shine The Lip Oil Balm... It has a transparent caramel texture, a dizzying fruity aroma and good hiding power. Like all gloss, this product is slightly sticky, but it does not cause discomfort. No feeling of lips smeared with honey.

Matte lipsticks have been a trend for several seasons. Of course, they are in the Mina line. This is primarily a series of liquid matte lipsticks Mina The Longwear Lipstick. The palette has 10 shades - from bright (red, coral) to nude.

One layer is enough to get a rich coverage. Thanks to this, the lipstick is easily felt on the lips, does not look like a "mask". It hardens in about 4-5 minutes, does not roll, does not dry the skin of the lips. To draw the outline, you can pick up a lip pencil. The shades match perfectly with the colors of the lipsticks. The manufacturer can also rightfully be proud of the eyebrow marker. On one side there is a wide stylus, on the other - a brush for combing eyebrows. The palette of colors is quite wide, all shades are natural, there are light ones (which is not often found).

Also in the Mina lineup there is mascara for eyebrows. They have convenient brushes for shaping the eyebrows, fill them in, fix the hairs. The manufacturer produces mascara in three colors, application does not require any special skills.

Highlighter Mina is a multifunctional product. It is a finely dispersed composition that is applied with a brush.

For sculpting, the manufacturer's line also includes a liquid highlighter, blush (dry and liquid).

The brand's varnish palette is also amazing. This is a variety of colors, shimmers, metallic shades, as well as care compositions. It is worth noting the unusual packaging of varnishes.

But when applying, you need to ensure that the varnish does not flow under the cuticle.

In addition to decorative cosmetics, the brand also produces cosmetics. There are many products in the collection that provide an instant moisturizing effect - these are different fabric masks, patches. By the way, the patches, unlike many Korean counterparts, do not “float” in a moisturizing gel, but are simply soaked in it. And to prevent drying, they have protective coatings on both sides. They are removed before use. The patches themselves are drier and lighter, due to which they are fixed in the desired area and do not slip. However, the remedy also gives a pronounced effect - it is moisturizing, smoothing of the skin. It gives the face a fresh, rested look. After them, no sticky layer remains on the skin, so you can apply makeup immediately after removing them.
