Bare Minerals makeup

Does anyone like the new container for the BM foundation? When you take off the lid, you can twist the top of the container and it becomes a little "shaker" container.

I've bought 2 or 3 since the container change & I think it wastes a lot of the product & at $25.00 a container, that doesn't set well with me. :frown:

I thought the idea of it was so that you wouldn't waste so much ... I have one that has that and doesn't seem to waste it so far... Why do you think it wastes ?

When it's nearly empty, there is powder that gets stuck up inside the two parts that come together. I guess it's not "a lot", but any powder left inside that I cannot reach is a waste to me. It's also tedious to sit there and tap the container & shake out the last bit. Didn't seem to be that way before. :ohwell:

But I love my Bare Minerals and don't wanna use anything else! :yahoo:

Break it open.... just jam something sturdy like a screwdriver into the plastic cover thingy and rip it off/open. That's what I do.

I did! :lol: But it's a PITA, and some plastic fell into the makeup. :bawl:


Eh, I'll just deal with it. I still love the makeup but it's only a minor inconvenience.

I love the new containers. I've bought a few of them as well, and have no problems getting all the product out. In fact, with the old containers I was never able to -- with the new ones I am. :yay:

:yeahthat: I love it too! I thought it was a bit pricey, so when Avon came out with THEIR version of Bare Minerals I tried it, but it's not the same at all. Avon's version was like using pressed powder, and felt thick and dry looking.

Yay for Bare Minerals - BUT caution as they have a great deal available whereby you get a discount on a starter kit, but you are also enrolled in automatic shipments billed to your credit card.

This is what most people try to see if they like it. The only downside to this kit is you don't get the full size brush.

Try. Believe. Love.

You've seen it on TV - Swirl, Tap, Buff and the model's skin suddenly looks perfect.

Well, it works! I bought a starter kit at Sephora yesterday and I have to say, I'm impressed. A little tinky bit covers your whole face, buffing out blemishes, discolorations, dark circles. etc.

You don't look like you're wearing makeup, just like you have great skin. Very natural. I have dry skin and I was afraid Bare Minerals wouldn't be moist enough, but it was fine and my face doesn't feel powdered.

So if any of you have been wanting to try it but weren't sure if it was worth the money, go for it! Great product :yay:

Don't bother with all that...get it at QVC...lots of good deals and exclusive colors and brushes.

:cds: why would you want me to go to the QVC website to be tempted by all that OTHER stuff?


wait for the show, and then call them..but it's not much better....they are FAR too cheerful and helpful when it comes to spending your money:cds:. But the customer service is really great



This thread reminds me..I need more foundation. I was thinking the click lock lids would be great..since when I travel or go somewhere for the night I often toss it in my bag..and once it flipped over it was always a pain trying to get it all off of the sides and stuff and not make a mess or waste it..

I have the mini set to keep in my purse ...... yeah the spill-over is a PITA, so let us know how you like the click/lock lids.

I was wondering if that would be a problem.. I don't want to waste any of it either... I haven't used enough yet to run into that problem..

I hate the new containers, too. I like to "marry" the dregs of one container with a brand new one so I can get every last bit used, but the new containers make it difficult to do that.

I gave my sister a kit this weekend for her birthday present. I think she likes it! :bdaycake:
