2 star rating

Pros

    Built-in SPF, doesn't leave face feeling oily

Cons
    Hard to buff evenly, some splotches, Harder to use as a spot concealer, powder can be messy, can't get the powder back IN, doesn't live up to the hype at all, Ugh the stickers on the product, Containers do not travel well

I'm not dogging this product..nor do I have a problem in making a pricey investment when I believe it will work...However, this product FOR ME just didn't work like I thought it would...perhaps its just due to my VERY fair skin...but I wanted more coverage and never got it the way I wanted...and none of the eyeshadows looked well with my skintone...I wanted to believe this product was working for me, but even two girlfriends of mine that I worked with asked what I was doing different with my makeup and I told them I was trying out the Bare Escentuals...they said they didnt like it..thank god for honest friends!  I did however, get a compact in a little beauty/girlie gift basket from a family friend bc she knows I love trying new beauty products...and she was told I would love it for sure...its called ::glo minerals:: I have it in a loose power, a compact, and also have the smokey mineral eyeshadow and loose shimmer powder...and I absolutely love it!  My favorite is definately the mineralpowder compact...no need for a brush!! - On top of the sleek/chic case, it has an extra smooth/soft pad and you just swipe it on like you would a normal powder compact...but THIS covers any flaws...throw away the concealer girls!! NO JOKE. It's amazing and I wouldn't be advertising a product if I didn't use it and believe in it myself!  I have a few blimish scars on my chin and now I don't have to use oily and greasy concealer that changes color throughout the day or ends up wiping off...I just use my powder, brush on some shimmer on my cheekbones, chin, nose, and forehead..and I have a natural, airbrushed glowing look!!

check it out.
