    I really like Bare Escentuals products. I use their foundation and mineral veil daily. It's the only product I use as far as that goes. I will be buying more when I run out as well. My skin doesn't...

    So, I bought the Bare Minerals starter kit for $60, like many of you here. It worked for a lot of people I knew, but I didn't realize that they didn't really NEED the same coverage as I...

    So...I got suckered into buying this after watching the infomercial like 5000x on TV. The initial cost was decent...about $60 for the starter kit. Ya---what they don't tell you is when you run...

    I was so excited to buy this product. I was sucked in by those infomercials but it did nothing for me. I always look like I have makeup on and it doesn't conceal any of my blemishes. I definitely...

    I've used this for about a year and a half because it covers very well. The problem is that it ends up cakey and rubbing off onto everything by the end of the day. My T-zone gets shiny in about two...

    This product is not that good. REALLY! The worst thing about this is that, not that it gives me breakout, but it is so noticable on my face. The powder is not that fine for mineral products. I...

    I am going to go ahead and review this product, though it was months ago when I first used and hated it. I got the starter set in the lightest shade (NC15 for reference), and used it for about a...

    I'm disappointed with this foundation. Although I really liked it at first, it is started to wear on me. I own the fairly light shade but it is still too dark for my skin. It is supposedly a...

    This foundation is one of the only one that doesn't make me breakout. If you don't need too much coverage this is the foundation you need. If you put on too much it will get cakey, that's why you...
