Mineral Beauty: Bare Escentuals

I haven't updated in so long...please forgive me. I'm so compelled to write today because I discovered an amazing beauty product- Bare Escentuals. Yesterday was my last day working at Nordstrom so I decided to take full advantage of my discount. I knew I had to have make-up and I stopped by the Bobbi Brown counter to browse...I wasn't too excited about anything so I started to leave when my eye caught a glimpse of Bare Escentuals. Yes, I'd heard of it before but I was super skeptical. As someone who likes medium to full coverage and a dewy radiant glow, I was skeptical about how a bunch of "powders" could give me the look I wanted. But I decided to plop down in the make-up chair and let the make-up artist do her work. The make-up felt weightless, it looked incredibly natural and it provided full, dewy coverage. You can even sleep in it!

I decided to buy the full bareMinerals Getting Started kit for $75 (not including my discount). Which includes three make-up brushes (the kabuki brush really does give full coverage!), two shades of bareMinerals® SPF 15 Foundation (I got Medium Tan/Tan), Mineral Veil, bareMinerals® Warmth All-Over Face Color, bareMinerals® Clear Radiance All-Over Face Color, bareVitamins Skin Rev-er Upper, bareMinerals® Refillable Mirrored Compact, and a how-to DVD with beauty tips. All this is worth $220.

I left the store, bag in hand, worried that I wouldn't be able to pull it off. The next morning, I opened the box and began applying. When I was done, I couldn't believe how great my skin looked. I can't believe I'm admitting this, but I couldn't stop myself from looking in the mirror all day. I'm thrilled with this product and I definitely recommend everyone to go out and try it. I haven't been so excited about a beauty product in a long time.

UPDATE: I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MUCH I LOVE LOVE LOVE THE WARMTH ALL OVER FACE COLOR. FANTASTIC!!!!
