My first Bare Escentuals disappointment

Advantages: Lovely flushed colour
Disadvantages: Shimmery, lack of staying power

...The sure sign of a great beauty product is when you start to notice copycats springing up all over the place. I'd seen it with the Stila lip glaze and the Benetint cheek stain, so when I started to notice all sorts of mineral makeup items popping up I knew there must be a great product out there I'd not discovered yet! Having tried the Maybelline mineral foundation and not been particularly impressed I wanted to try the 'original' range out for myself and I invested in a Bare Minerals starter set which included a foundation, the mineral veil, and the Mineral Blush in Hint. Bare Minerals launched their first foundation in 1976, so mineral makeup products aren't exactly a new thing, just something that has only really become popular lately. Their selling point is that all their products are made from 100% pure crushed minerals and is free...

Review of Bare Escentuals i.d. Blush Hint

Bare Escentuals BareMinerals - Bisque

Advantages: Covers blemishes, scars, rosaesca perfectly and flawless, smooth, light texture
Disadvantages: Can be considered expensive

...is really sensitive. BareMinerals slogan is "so pure, you can sleep in it" and this really is true. Although BareMinerals make up has been around since 1976 it is only in the last few years it has become more well known, and it still isn't as widely known about as it should be. It is America's number 1 selling foundation and also the number 1 mineral make up brand in the world, proving that it must be good. It is slowly coming into more salons and getting more of the deserved publicity it should in the UK. Quite a few salons, I have found mainly in the Midlands stock BareMinerals, and the salon I work in does also, and has done for several years - the customers love it! Since using Bare Escentuals make up on my face, I would never use anything else and I know alot of customers feel the same. I think it is the best make up out there by...

Review of Bare Escentuals i.d. Glimmer Nude Beach

Bare Escentuals multi tasking..must have to your collection

Advantages: small pot to store, fine mineral powder that doesn't clog pores
Disadvantages: don't drop it or store upside down as the powder will end up in the lid.

...Multi tasking well rested from Bare Escentuals is a must have to any collection of bare escentuals mineral make up. It does wonders at covering the dark circles under the eyes. I also use it as a base coat on my eyes and to cover any blemishes before I apply the foundation. Blends really well but one fault I have found is that it doesn't all come off when I use my Simple face wipes. Bare Escentuals is a 100% mineral based product so it is kind to the skin and doesn't clog pores. This multi tasking product only comes in one colour so may not be suitable for all skin shades. 0.03 oz pot ( I think) is small enough to pop in your travel bag. Clear small pot with a black lid but it has a label underneath so you can tell what it is within your collection. I apply it in the morning and it lasts all day, if I'm heading out in the evening i...

Review of Bare Escentuals i.d. Multi Tasking Well Rested

Escentually Lethal ... for allergy sufferers

Advantages: free with starter kit
Disadvantages: made from goat hair, no good for people with animal sensitivity or allergies, poor quality

...If you are a fan of mineral make up and have invested in one of the starter packs from Bare Escentuals, you will be aware that they come with a couple of brushes for you to get on with. Bare Escentuals are essentially an American company who, for the past 30 plus years have sold mineral make up and accessories, first in the USA, then all over the world. Mineral make up claims to be all natural, made from crushed minerals without any nasty items in them. "The natural, soft-tapered bristles of the brush are designed to provide light to medium coverage for a broad range of easy, professional looking applications with bareMinerals...." I used to use this brush to apply the foundation but favouring the short, stumpy kabuki for full coverage foundation and the concealer brush to magic away little blemishes. Light to medium coverage was...

Review of Bare Escentuals i.d. Flawless Application Face Brush

Bare Escentuals = My New Love

Advantages: So smooth on my skin, and looks lovely!
Disadvantages: Quite pricey

...I?ve recently become a huge fan of bare escentuals beauty products over the past few months and so happy that I discovered this company! All of their products are 100% pure crushed minerals and are free from preservatives, talc, oil, fragrance and other harmful chemicals; they are so pure you can even wear the make-up whilst sleeping! After being very impressed with their foundation, I wanted to try other products from their range, starting with the bare escentuals blush. I think as with most make up it can look gorgeous on you if pick the right shade, so after debating with myself on what colour will suit my olive/lightly tanned skin tone, I finally settled with two different types: Joyous Jennifer and Dusk. I hardly ever just stick to one blusher anyway and often mix it with bronzers or other blushers to give it a more unique...
