Their products have grown from just nude lipsticks. This has expanded from semi-matte to matte to different shades to liquids. They also have an array of products from blushers, to foundations, lip liners, brow products, nail polishes, setting powders, lip glosses, and lip balms which is their most recent development.
They run a subscription-based program called a statement box. Every other month, you choose 3 full-size products for a flat fee of USD50. 6 boxes per year. The points are easy to accrue and the rewards are decent.

Mented cosmetics do not ship outside the United States. To buy their products, had to get them shipped to a US address and forwarded to me in the UK.
After reading and researching this company, happy to join this bandwagon. Decided to buy the foundation, brow pencil, semi-matte lipstick, and lip liner to test out their products. A well-rounded set.
Foundation – My usual way of finding my foundation shade is to cross-check my favorite foundation for applicable matches across all brands on findation (www.findation.com). However, in this instance, decided to try out the Mented cosmetics shade finder. My recommended shade was D10. On findation, got the same result. Therefore, their shade finder is pretty accurate.
Note: Mented cosmetics do offer a shade sampler which you can buy for a nominal fee to find your perfect shade prior to buying a full-size product.
I bought my shade in D10 and T30 to use as a concealer. This foundation is a hydrating formula that is also buildable. I consider it to be medium coverage at best.
Used this with different primers and works well with all. Used on top of my usual serums, moisturizers, SPF, and even face oils. It worked well with everything. No piling.
Was able to apply the T30 under the eyes, forehead, and chin which came out very buildable. Looked good with the cakey look.
Highbrow pencil – Went with color Deep brown (my right shade). This is a precision pencil. Can be used easily to mimic the fine hairs of your brow. Comes with a spooley at the other end. This is apparently waterproof (cannot attest to that).
This pencil is ok and works great. For the price, you can find cheaper which will perform as well as this one if not better.
Lip liner – Bought this in shade Mented No. 5. These lip liners are so creamy! I use it with most of my lipsticks. Irrespective of skin color, this will work well for anyone. Also, long-lasting.
The longest time I have had this on is 7 hours and still had to wipe it off at the end of the day. Granted, had drinks and no meal that day.
Semi-Matte Lipstick – Went with a trio of shades – Nude la la, Mented No.5, and peach please. These lipsticks are creamy, easy to use, and do not bleed all over your mouth and teeth.
No matter your skin color, you will find your nude here.
Now to the disappointment, I understand creamy, but there seems to be something this formula that should be moisturizing but rather melts the bullet lipstick.
If you are in cold weather, this may not happen. Currently, in a hot climate, open the lipstick, and it's melted.
Have other lipsticks from Pat McGrath, Chanel even H & M, they are fine, but this is melting into a mess.
Next time will go for liquid lipsticks to avoid this issue. was over 30 days, nothing they could do other than offer me a 20% discount on the next purchase.

Despite the issue with the lipsticks, I still, really like this brand and hope to sample more of their products.
They have a current promotion if interested. Buy 3 full-size products and unlock a 25% discount.
Happy Shopping.
