I guess this is the board to put such a question on...If not, let me know.

Has anyone here tried or use Bare Minerals?  I just received the starter kit as a gift and have pretty sensitive skin so I thought I'd try to get some feedback from my fave site, lol!!!

Thanks for any feedback or tips!!!

I have been using it for about 4 years now and I love it.  I've tried quite a few other mineral makeups so I will tell you what I have found:

Loreal - Did not make a shade light enough to match my skin.  Did not blend well.

Maybelline - Hideous pinkish-orange tinge to their fairest color.  It took Maybelline so long to come out with a mineral makeup, I was shocked that it was so bad.  

TruMinerals - got this on the Internet.  It looked very nice and blended very well, but it had a very unpleasant odor.  I didn't like their mineral veil either, nor any of the other items that came in the kit. 

Avon - I really liked Avon's mineral makeup.  The color was beautiful and it had the same nice texture as Bare Minerals.  They do not have a wide range of color choices, though. 

Here is a winner, which really surprised me, because it is CHEAP:  NYC (New York Color) which I bought at WalMart.  Both the foundation and the mineral veil are very good and blend nicely.  I use my Bare Minerals brushes, though.  The brushes they come with really don't work so well.  NYC is less than $5, which is a great price for mineral makeup, less than half the other drugstore brands and much, much less than Bare Minerals.

I still think Bare Minerals is the best, but it is just so expensive.   I'll either stick with NYC or buy my Bare Minerals on ebay, which I have a couple of times when I have run out between my next shipment.

Mineral makeup has been so good to my skin!  I have much less trouble with breakouts since I have been using it.  Good luck! 

of expensive, but I don't get a rash or any breakouts using it. It's about 30 bucks.

Ulta a few weeks ago - it's the Ulta Brand - cheaper than Bare Minerals. It was around 35.00 for the kit. I think it's called Pure. I got blush medium. LOVE IT!

Right now you can try for free Purity Mineral Science for 7.95 shipping. You get 3 brushes, a gorgeous little bag and 3 products that go together and 3 cosmetic brushes - 2 big ones, 1 small one for concealing.

I ordered it Fri and it came today.  Anyways, of course I LOVE IT.  But on the piece of paper it stated in small letters: If you decide to keep this kit we will bill you 59.00 and then every 2 months you will receive another set of makeup at a low, low cost of 29.99 every 2 months.  Which is an automatic refill kind of thing. I've never done that and I don't like that,so I called to cancel my trial and to see how much it would cost to keep this lovely kit.  She said 35.00 allows me to keep the kit and cancel all future memberships, no charges, etc. I am THRILLED!

I have to tell you - I immediately put the makeup on when I got it at 1:00 EST. It is now 4:56 and I still look fresh as ever! I can't believe it. I LOVE it.  I love, love, love it.

I have been a Mary Kay user for about 14 years. I love the coverage MK gives, and this gives awesome coverage too!

anyways, husband just called rip roaring mad while I was typing this and he really piss** me off, so I will end this "nice" conversation I was having with ya'll.  Just go try some if you've ever been wondering about this stuff.

I don't wear makeup every day, but I do on the rare occasion that I go out.  It seems like my mascara has been really irritating my eyes lately when I wear it.  I've tried a couple different brands, but they all seem to do it.  My eyes get dry and itchy and I've been getting little annoying styes.  Can anyone with sensitive eyes or contacts recommend a mascara that doesn't irritate your eyes?  Thanks!!
