Bare Minerals makeup

[Nickel]

I just bought some of the Mineral Wear so I can see how it stacks up aganst BM. The price was definitely right, so I hope the product is as good. I'm with Kwillia - I've noticed a definite improvement in my skin since going to BM, so I hesitate to change. But I'm a beauty product guinea pig

Hurry up and try it out and let us know!!!! I looked at their website and love all the goodies they have, especially the "powders" with the beads that you run your brush over. I'm a sucker for good marketing.

I can say this about the Illuminating Lip Lacquer in antique scarlet that it really does last and it isn't sticky. Very smooth going on.

I want to try their retro mascara, but a percentage of me only wants to buy it because of the way the tube looks.

This lipstick is in the same type of tube but has a mirror on the back for easy application

And I am gonna give liquid eyeliner a try since it was cheap.....well and I liked the tube

I bought some of that, too, because it was like 1/3 the price of the Dior mascara I'm running out of. I'll let you know what I think.

I caved and stopped in at CVS on my way home from the library. They didn't have a huge selection, but they did have the retro mascara (50% off) and I picked some up. This stuff rocks. It's way better than the Urban Decay and MAC that I usually wear. I give it

Thanks for being the guiena pig and letting us know how it was. I would also like to say the liquid kohl eyeliner isn't too bad either.

I picked up a few sale items today. Not much was on sale but I figured it was better to try some of the make-up at half price and if I didn't like it, then I didn't spend alot.
I got the Beauty Spiral brightening foundation. I am not used to applying with a sponge, but once I got it on my face, I loved it. I got the Revined face powder which I already adore and Retro Glow illuminating blush which I also give a
Tomorrow I will check Target and see what they have. So far, so good.

I wasn't overly impressed with the BM when I saw it at Sephora. I decided to forego it and stick w/ my MAC. After Sharon's post on the PF Mineral Wear I figured I'd give it a shot just because it's cheap and easily obtainable. I got it Sunday, used it yesterday and today. It's pretty ok I have to say. The coverage is not as good as the MAC StudioFix and I still applied powder over it but it does look nice. It feels pretty good too. I'm thinking I'll definately stick w/ my MAC for the winter/spring but will probably switch to the PF for the summer/fall when I have a little more color to my skin and need less coverage to even my complexion out. For the price though, I was very impressed.

My Instant Results Kit (drugstore.com) arrived yesterday and I love it! I already had the Purity cleanser, which I needed more of. This came with a Hope in a Jar and also, Microdelivery Peel Pads. All good stuff and worth the $30 I paid for it (approximately $45 through Sephora).

CVS has buy any 1 item and get the second at half price with your Care Card. The CVS in California has a good selection of products.

I notice that CVS always has a good sale. I usually stock up on my eyeliner when it's BOGOF. Speaking of which, I have two unopened black eyeliners if anyone is interested. They're Revlon or something, I think. Nothing wrong with them, just not what I like.

I tried the PF products and wasn't impressed. Coverage and longevity weren't as good (IMO) as the BE products.

It is definately more 'powdery' and not nearly as smooth and as covering as BM. I will use it as a touch up or a quick throw the makeup on on the weekend, but I will not be using PF for regular wear.

My sister tried it too and didn't like it much either.

Also I got the BM get started kit and unless the multi-tasking minerals(which I don't have yet) covers better...I am not impressed w/ the coverage of my dark circles. The rest of my face I am very happy w/. I have tried other concealers w/ it and it was just crappy looking.

I picked up the compact and keep the mineral veil in it for touch-ups mid-day if I need them; works well.

I wasn't in love with the BM :giggle: until I got the multi-tasking minerals. Now I think it kicks booty!

Really...how about around the eyes...how does that look?

It's terrific! I use it on my eyelids, under my eyes, and here and there where I need it, with the full coverage brush and then I brush it all over, then start with the BM foundation. I abosutely love it!! I wish I'd had it for my wedding.
