Bare Minerals Get Started Kit
Overview:
My mom and I purchased our bare minerals kit through their website after watching their T.V special one night. At the time of purchase we was not aware that they send and bill you ever 30 days for more products, so needless to say we was both surprised when the 30 day mark came and she was billed for 2 more sets of makeup. I purchased both mine and her refill kit because it was going to take a while for her account to be credited back after a return. I gave one kit away at an event that I held and I still have another kit, that I might possible do a give a way with through my blog so keep your eyes peeled for that possibility. My suggestion would be that if you have a local Ulta or makeup store that carries the bare minerals line and your interested in trying bare minerals, to purchase it locally and not online. But if you do order online make sure that you cancel your subscription if you will not need these products ever 30 days. Our get started kit included a full size foundation, small mineral vale, small warmth all-over face color, flawless face brush, maximum coverage concealer brush and a few bonus samples. The foundation was in the click lock and go sifter.
Review:
Let me start out by telling you a little bit about my skin type. I have very sensitive and dry skin I am very blessed to not have acne prone skin, I may get a break out during that time of month other then that my face is very clear and shine free.
The first few times I wore these products I didn’t notice any facial irritation but the more I continued to wear these products I noticed when I would remove my makeup my face would get really red and tight feeling. I would have to put on a ice face mask for about 30 minutes to take away the swelling and irritation. I’m not sure if I was having an allergic reaction to the products or what because I was not changing up my facial cleansing products and the next day after wearing this makeup I would have blemishes. I also noticed my face would get really shinny through my T zone and that has never happened with any other products I have used before. So needless to say I have stopped using bare minerals face products, in the future I may give these products another try and see if my face reacts any differently.
I ordered their foundation kit in the color medium, for me I felt like the color was a good match but when I would add the warmth all over face color I would start to look way to dark and slightly orange. I have seen the next color down from the kit that I purchased and it looks to me like the warmth all over face color is the same for each kit, to me the color seems so dark. I only use a tiny bit of the warmth and it still seems to makes my face way to dark. I felt like the foundation coverage was light to medium, the one thing that I really did like about the foundation was you didn’t fell like you had on makeup at all. So with that being said I think this foundation would be absolutely perfect for the summer time. The mineral vale I liked as well because you could apply as much of this throughout the day as you would like without getting added color, I used this product throughout the day when I felt like my T zone was getting shinny. I will give their flawless face brush and maximum coverage concealer brush 3 stars, they are very soft and have been through several cleanings and have yet to shed.
If it wasn’t for the facial irritation I think I could really like these products and would leave out the warmth all over face color, for me its just not worth the facial discomfort to use these products. Since using bare minerals I asked my mom what she thought about the products and she said they wasn’t what she though they would be, and that she doesn’t use the warmth because its way to dark for her as well.
FYI:
I have used their flawless definition mascara (came as a bonus in my get started kit) and I absolutely love it, my lashes are so long and full.
