Makeup So Pure You Can Sleep In It!

Since 1976, Bare Escentuals has been creating innovative natural formulas using only pure minerals from the earth and high percentages of botanical essences. i.d. by Bare Escentuals is their color cosmetics line known for their revolutionary bareMinerals. bareMinerals are 100% pure micronized minerals that are free of chemicals such as talc, oil, preservatives, fragrance, dyes, or other potential skin irritants, and infused with a protective SPF 15. Recommended by dermatologists and other skincare professionals, bareMinerals are ideal for covering a range of skin conditions, including acne, scars, Rosacea, sensitive, and problem prone skin.


Disneyphile & Ponine~ I just read a wonderful article in February's issue of Lucky Magazine all about skincare! The article covered every skin condition that plagues us ladies and the best dermatologist-recommended solutions. Everything from over-the-counter to in-house visits! There was a paragraph on Rosacea that offered lots of helpful solutions! I'm away from home this week, but when I return I'll print the article out for you! It's very helpful! Believe me, I was reading all about break-outs (will they ever stop? I'm not a teenager anymore! )

EXCUSE ME?!?! Why would I when the sensible thing to do is to drive all the way to the Sephora Headquarters in Kingdom Come? Or is it Timbuk Two? That's what cars, free time and endless mileage are for. Either way, I'm a low lifin' scumbag for choosing UPS.

Okay, I am so DYING over your post! I burst out laughing!!

It must have been love, but it's over now..

DP.. check your gmail for before and after pics...
Has anyone actually tried their other products yet? Other than the foundation, or just purchased so far.


(what's with the new smilies? I dont think I dig them)

Coolio.
It's hard to get it down, and I'm still playin.
it's wierd cause as I put it on, I think... wow.. this isnt working... but it's almost as if you have to walk away and come back.

Does any one takes pics of themselves in the mirror?? I felt so silly this morning.

Okay, I got my starter kit on Thursday, and I really love it!! What a screaming deal it is--the brushes alone are amazing!! I got the beige/medium beige kit with warmth. The warmth is almost too warm at this point, but will be great for the spring/summer months.

I haven't watched the DVD yet...maybe I'll do that now while Chloe girl is napping. But I keep playing, mixing, and looking at myself in every mirror I pass! I've had such bad skin the last two years that this stuff is a dream come true!!

I have two new Cargo blushes that I love....when I'm in a place (Sephora?) where I can try the I.D. colors, I'll try them. But my Cargo blushes look awesome over the bare minerals foundation.

The best part of it though, is that it really stays ON. I found with my Lancome and Smashbox foundation, that I was re-applying all day.

And it's practically waterproof. I was in the shower one day and caught a glance at myself in the mirror and my face was still funny made up--the water was just rolling over the foundation! Weird!

Anyway, I loooove it!!

Oh! And I plan to order the problem skin kit, ASAP!

With all these rave reviews I have GOT to try it!! I'm almost out of my Nars, just a taaddd bit left, so I know what i'll be buying next!!

I'm so glad you ladies are loving your minerals! I've been using them for a few months now & I'm hoplessly addicted. It's the only make-up I'll let touch my face!

Claire~ the Blushes & All Over Colors are beautiful and so rich in color! High pigmentation is such a big deal for me! Goobery, huh? I think that the colors that I use would look lovely on you! I use Thistle & Beauty in the blushes, and Warmth, Glee, and Clear Radiance in the All Over Color.

Clear Radiance is absolutly amazing! It gives you such a dewy, fresh faced glow! I make it part of my everyday routine. I dust it lightly on the apples of my cheeks and eyelids.

The DVD is lots of fun and very informative- but beware! You'll find yourself
spending more $$ on minerals when you see all the gorgeous colors they use on the models. I know I did!

I had no idea there was a Problem Skin kit! I've looked everywhere and have yet to find it! However, this might be a good thing since I shopped 'til I dropped at Mario Badescu online. I'm so excited to try his skincare!
