Save Money on bareMinerals

My introduction to mineral makeup came by way of bareMinerals on television. I used to watch Leslie Stodgett’s informercials or her appearances on QVC. I loved to see blotchiness and redness instantly disappear. Poof! Like magic. I ordered a Get Started Kit from Sephora and pretty soon I was enjoying  poof! redness gone! myself. 

Sephora is selling the Get Started kits at a 20% discount this week. The kits normally run for $60, which is a great price for all that it includes, but $48 is even better. To get the discounted price, enter the promo code GETSTARTED at checkout. Offer also good in Sephora stores.

Each starter kit includes 2 shades of foundation, a Mineral Veil, an All Over Face Color, a Prime Time Foundation Primer (Sephora exclusive), 3 makeup brushes, and an instructional video. All products are made without Parabens, Sulfates, Synthetic Fragrances, Synthetic Dyes, Petro-Chemicals, or Phthalates. The foundations carry a 15 SPF.

Here are a couple of tips:

*They say it’s so “pure you can sleep in it,” but don’t. I think it’s easiest to remove with a lotion or creamy cleanser and a washcloth.

*Easy application: Shake closed container, open lid, dip foundation brush in the lid to pick up  a small amount of foundation, tip brush upside down, then tap handle end against the counter (moves foundation down into bristles), apply to the face in a swirling, circular motion.
