    I tend to shy away from products that don't seem so natural, so I jumped on the Bare Minerals bandwagon as soon as I saw the commercials for it. I've been using it for two years already, and I just...

    One of my friends loves and swears by Bare Minerals. I decided to try it again recently because she looks great. I used it a couple of years ago and found that it made me look older because it...

    I was so excited to try this. I was looking for a product that covered well, with looking natural at the same time. I paid $60 at ULTA for the starter kit and I was SO disappointed! I purchased the...

    This product has no coverage at all. I look the same before and after using it. Needless to say, I won't buy this again.
