Alternative to Bare Minerals

[Elle]

After I bragged about BM a lady from the office down the hall purchased some of this product. She has been very happy with it. Myself, I'm sticking with BM for now but I think I'm going to order the sample and see if I notice a difference.

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.

I received a free full size "sample" of Neutrogena's Mineral Sheers, but it's the bronzing powder, not foundation. I'll give it a whirl and tell ya how it stacks up.

So how much do the free samples end up costing you in shipping

$3.51 USPS. I just ordered some.

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.

maybe I will try that! thanks

The sample's are pretty small (I had them send me some w/my order) but at least you get a chance to try them.

For those of you that use BM - once you try this stuff let me know how it compares. If the consesus is that BM is better that it would be worth it to pay the extra money for it.

Thanks!

I just ordered the free sample. I got a Sephora gift certificate for Mother's Day and was going to get Bare Minerals. I'll see what I think of this stuff first.

Check out Smokey Mountain Minerals too. I believe they offer FREE shipping. I have a few things from them and so far so good.

My kits came in. I am very impressed with the amount of each sample container. I can't wait to try it now...

Heck, the amount of blush alone was worth the shipping and handling. I'd say it should last a few weeks.

The image of Mimi from The Drew Carey Show is firmly planted on my brain.

No doubt. I think it said 3 applications or something like that.

What color blush did ya get I got Bouquet but I'm afraid it's gonna be too lilacish. It's so hard to tell from the colors on the puter.

I chose "apple" and it looks very nice in the container. I can't wait to try it out with my new bright blue eyeshadow and see if I can achieve the look I've been shooting for.

I have? I hadn't noticed. I'll try harder to be nice to you, Miss Kwillia. I apologize for any past, current, and future indescretion. It is not my attempt to make you feel badly. My current is to make MM feel badly, but not you. I hold you in hero-worship status.
