If you are new to the line, then I suggest getting one of the bareMinerals Get Started Kits. A Get Started Kit has everything you need including 2 shades of SPF 15 Foundation, a Mineral Veil, an All-Over Face Color, a Full Flawless Face Brush, Flawless Application Face Brush, Maximum Coverage Concealer Brush, a how-to dvd, and a gift-size bareVitamins Skin Rev-er Upper. My introduction to mineral makeup came from a kit like this, although mine came with a kabuki brush. I’ve used the brushes with all the other mineral makeup that I’ve tried over the past few years. Really nice brushes and the bareMinerals makeup is my personal favorite mineral foundation. The kits come in Fair, Light, Medium, Tan, Dark, and Deep.

I loved that powder. I loved the big fluffy brush that I used with it.  That’s when I realized that makeup was fun, that the tools, the powders, the glosses – they were toys for big girls.

Bare Escentuals has a few fun new makeup products available. These products are available for a limited time and you can only find them at Sephora. They are packaged in bright shiny containers – an early holiday treat just for you.

The Radiance Rocks are very similar to the makeup pot idea. Three solid mineral rocks are in each case. They come in Bronze, Champagne, and a Warm Rose. Included in the package is a Kabuki Brush.

Three glistening bareMinerals Radiance Rocks are compressed together solely by water—resembling minerals in their most natural state. Simply swirl the Heavenly Kabuki Brush on top of rocks, and buff these gorgeous 100% pure bareMinerals shades on your eyes, cheeks, and body. The result is a glimmering, sheer wash of color with a refreshing, cooling sensation.

How you use the rocks is up to you. Try a single color alone or use your brush to swirl the colors together. After reading the reviews, I see that some people actually rub the rocks on their faces. When they dry, they can be “recharged” with water. The effect you get with this product is a sheer, glow. If you are looking for something more dramatic, then take a look at the Bare Escentuals All Over Color.

bareMinerals has a new set, that is only available at Sephora, called the bareMinerals Happiness Collection. It’s a 9-piece set of color products that contain Happybelle.

What is Happybelle?  Well, it’s a complex made of a plant extract that is supposed to “induce a sense of happiness.”  Happybelle is “believed to mimic the effect of endorphins.” 

It sounds psychedelic, but it’s totally natural, 100% pure bareMinerals. Gives you the glow of pure happiness coming from within your skin for a natural high—think yoga for your face.

The products infused with  Happybelle include Glee Radiance All-Over Face Color, Euphoria Eyecolor, Happiness Eyecolor, and Hallucinate Liner Shadow. The collection also had a Black Flawless Mascara, 100% Natural Lip Gloss in Berry Rush, a Feather Light Brush, an eyeshadow brush, and a clutch. The brushes and the clutch are all in “happy” shades of pink. It’s a cute set and I want one.

The products were all made without Parabens, Sulfates, Synthetic Fragrances or Dyes, and absolutely no Phthalates.

And there’s more. Each collection has a ticket that enters you in a contest – the Get Lucky Contest. The prize is a lifetime supply of bareMinerals SPF 15 foundation. For more contest details, click here.

100% Natural Lipcolor is an extension of the bareMinerals line,
which means the lipstick is all-natural and comprised of earth-derived
ingredients.

This nourishing blend of exotic oils, natural waxes, and plant extracts create the perfect moisturizing formula. Each lipstick contains no artificial dyes and use only minerals from the earth as colorants. Best of all, there are no chemical preservatives, which can irritate lips and dry them out. The smooth, moisturizing formula has superior color payoff, glides easily onto lips, and is long wearing. Plus it is lightly scented with natural, calming lavender oil. Lips will stay perfectly hydrated and soft throughout the day. Think of it as healthy nutrition for your lips.

bareMinerals Natural Lipstick comes in a nice range of 11 shades, most in the pink/brown/berry range, and each one retails for $15.
