I have tried both Arbonne and Bare Minerals and prefer Bare Minerals. I think the powder is of a nicer consistency. I also think the fact that you get a new brush with every order is ridiculous - so wasteful, as a good quality brush, when taken care of, should last for at least a couple of years. No need to replace every 4-6 months. I also like the Bare Minerals mineral veil much better than the Arbonne loose powder.
