WOW, has it been over 5 years since I started using this product? I remember the first infomercial with Leslie in it (that I saw) and I was sold. I thought, if I could look that good, get me some and fast!
So, I got this starter kit thing and a demo VHS - yup that long ago and was off and running. I do some light modeling work and I am also a professional photographer, let me tell you, this is the best product. I can't tell you how many compliments I receive on my skin/makeup. I went to a spa type thing and a woman was there for a facial of some type. She was talking to the woman about microdermabrasion and I told her that I had it done once and enjoyed it. She said to me: I'll try anything if I can have beautiful skin like you. Wow, that is really sweet considering I am 38 years old. So, needless to say, this is the only makeup I use (foundation wise). I love this product and do enjoy some of the other things that Leslie has added over the years. She had a goddess collection that was really nice...cute box too.
Anyway, I will post some pix that I did for a promo for the products because I believe in them so much!
For now, here is a run down on the product from the Bare Minerals site itself.......
What is bareMinerals? bareMinerals is the Foundation that Started the Mineral Makeup Revolution

It began with Bare Escentuals' introduction of our bareMinerals SPF 15 Foundation. Since 1976, when we opened our first store in Los Gatos, California, Bare Escentuals has been a pioneer in the cosmetic industry with our makeup, made from 100% pure bareMinerals and free of preservatives, oil, fragrance, talc and other skin irritants. Millions of women who swear by their bareMinerals have uncovered the look of beautifully bare skin. With bareMinerals, your search for the perfect foundation is over.

Pure Natural Mineral Makeup from the Earth

Bare Escentuals uses only the finest ingredients in our products. Made with crushed minerals from the earth, 100% pure bareMinerals:

  • is free of preservatives, talc, oil, fragrance and other potential skin irritants
  • is free of fillers and binders
  • is weightless
  • provides adjustable coverage—from light to full
  • will improve the condition of the skin over time

Our bareMinerals SPF 15 Foundation looks like a powder—yet it's NOT a powder. It feels like a cream and buffs on like silk, giving skin a natural luminosity that stays true all day. All ages and skin types can benefit from bareMinerals—especially those concerned with skin sensitivities, allergies, scars, blemishes, rosacea, wrinkles and pigmentation. The foundation provides impeccable coverage for every skin type and skin tone, and also protects with a natural SPF 15 broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection. bareMinerals SPF 15 Foundation carries the Skin Cancer Foundation Seal of Recommendation.

And bareMinerals SPF 15 Foundation is just the beginning. Bare Escentuals has created creamy, feather-light color for all over your face, cheeks and eyes. Our complete line of loose, powder-like products are 100% pure bareMinerals—this includes our foundation, blush, eyeshadows, glimmers, glimpses and liner shadows, with the exception of Mineral Veil finishing powder.

Although we have BE boutiques nationwide, we are making this exclusive trial offer available to you here only. It's an exceptional value and a great opportunity for you to experience makeup that is actually good for your skin.

I have to put face cream on before my make-up any clues if that would cake up on my face?

I'd considering buying this, but I'm concerned I won't apply it properly -- is it easy to learn how to apply?
