Hi Kat – they have repackaged things and changed the links – I hunted them down and changed things accordingly in my post. Thanks for pointing that out – and I do hope you like bareMinerals as much as I do!! Please come back and let us know what you think, ok?

Hi! All the products in the ‘Medium Kit’ you used sounds exactly like what I was looking for but the link above doesn’t seem to be working and I can’t find this kit on their site. Can you please redirect me? I’d really appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

Oh you use Glee…that is on my try list. I think we need to get together and play makeup sometime, Gail. LOL

I do get some samples on occasion but never have in the cosmetics department. Maybe someday!

Yes Bare Minerals is cost effective. It lasts so long because you use so little, and it doesn’t dry up or go bad. It is spillable though, so be careful! I had to replenish my foundation once, and I’m being very stingy with my mineral veil and bisque cuz they’re getting low. But the Glee I use as blush will literally last me forever.

You should get free samples for being a beauty blogger! Do you? At least a discount. You give a lot of products very good free advertising, and I feel I can trust your opinions.

Have a great weekend,
Gail

LOL Touche. I can’t afford it either. But it does seem like it will last forever, making it a better deal – have you found that to be the case? How you you think it compares with the other foundations you have used?

No, I haven’t tried any others. My oldest sister uses the the light shade and I think it’s a lil too white on her, but she is very fair with white hair. I’m darker than her. I can’t afford to buy it to play with and of course “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” Lol-the medium is perfect for me.

Thanks for the thoughts Gail – sounds like our skin tones are pretty similar!

This was yet another post I had to rewrite after losing it when I tried to publish it (grr again), but in my original post I said that I was going to probably order the light color, just because I do like two to play with. Have you tried anything other than those two colors?

I’m so happy you finally got to try it and like it. I also use medium shade foundation and it’s perfect. I got the medium beige to try from my mom, and it’s a lil too orangy for me. But it’s not awful, and I use it in the summer sometimes. Really, the different shades are quite forgiving. You can also mix them in your own unique combos.

Sometimes when I don’t feel like putting make up on, but have to run to the store and don’t want to scare anyone (lol), I’ll rub my foundation brush over my face (without dipping it in minerals) applying just the residual powder that’s built up in the brush, and that’s enough to cover blotchiness and even out my skin tone.

For me, the mineral veil does wonders to minimize the size of enlarged pores.

I haven’t tried the rever-upper, so I look forward to your always honest opinion about it in the near future.
