    I used BE for a few years before switching to Pur Minerals. The packaging is definitely a drawback; what a mess! This stuff gets all over the place and is nearly impossible to travel with. And...

    Not such a fan of the bare minerals, but I gave them a try. The first time I used all four of the basics, the mineral foundation base, bronzer, blush, and the white sealer powder. At first it was...

    This stuff made my face itch and burn. The coverage was average...I gave it 2 lippies because I really liked the bronzer and the concealer that came in the starter kit. Too bad I can't wear it.
