    As far as mineral makeup goes, I have tried EM, Pure Luxe, Alima, and now BE. Pure Luxe and BE are my favorites, and I actually prefer BE because of finish and coverage. I use "fair" in BE. It...

    I was convinced that this product was worth a try and plunked down the $60 for the starter kit at Sephora. I was disappointed in the quality of the Bare Minerals. I heard a lot about the fact...

    I remember passing by this so many times at Sephora and trying to decide whether I should buy it or not. Well, one of my friends convinced me to go ahead and buy it that it would be the "best"...

    I am a BE user for life now...I was never big on foundation because I could never get sheer enough coverage that would also hide my red splotchy cheeks. After using the Mult-Tasker I buff on some...

    I never wore liquid foundation before (because I sucked at applying it) but I always wanted some coverage for my pale, sometimes dull complexion that has a few acne scars. I got the BE starter...

    Bare Escentuals is making a mint off this line. Despite the hype - I think it is an inferior product for the following reasons: (1) The loose powder is messy and expensive as you go through it...

    This was the first mineral makeup I tried, as well. I bought both the Medium Beige base and the Mineral Veil. I was really put off by the shininess - it's got a real reflective quality and I hated...

    The Bare Escentuals products just never seem to work for me. They seem to cake on my skin and they are also a bit shiny. I do like Everyday Minerals products, so it's not an aversion to mineral...
