Alternative to Bare Minerals

[STL_RAMS]

I have never tried the Bare Minerals b/c its so expensive.

I came across this company http://www.everydayminerals.com/ and decided to give it a try. I ordered the "I can't believe it kit" (link: http://www.everydayminerals.com/shop/prod_75.html )
and I have to say after applying it, I am really impressed. It really does cover very nicely w/o the feeling that liquid foundation leaves.

It is significantly cheaper then the Bare Minerals brand. I can't say its any better (seeing as though I never tried the other) but just figured some others on here might want to give it a try as an alternative.

Thanks for the update it is nice to see other companies coming up with this type of foundation.

I'm confused. Are they saying they put 8g in a 30g jar?

I assume that means the jar weighs 30 grams.

Why would anyone care how much the jar weighs? I think they're trying to be misleading.

I tried to do figure out the difference in quantity between 8 grams vs. .3 oz but I suck at math so I'm sticking with BM. I'm very happy with BM.

I tried Physicians Formula's version of BM and didn't like it. I haven't tried Neutrogena's yet though. I would try Neutrogena's before I bother with ordering another online product that I'm not sure I'll be happy with.

It says "enough for about three applications".

Netrogena's bare minerals for eye shadow works really good...but I do not like the new face stuff, it is to cakey.....I ordered Bare Minerals off of tv and I LOVE IT!! it is just too much work though...so i really never use it...the whole three step, swirl, tap, buff thing takes more than the 20 minutes I am usually running behind!

I just brush it on until it looks good. Takes about 2 minutes. It takes me longer to put mascara on than the BM foundation.

It doesn't take long at all once you get the hang of it. I went ahead an ordered two sample kits. It let me select a quantity of 2 and in the comments section I put that I wanted the 2nd one for my sister who I had got hooked on Bare Minerals. I hope they send me two!

ONE of the many reasons I love BM is because it's so quick and easy to apply.
