My Target has 2 basic kits and an eye kit. I got overwhelmed and ended up not buying anything.

You can get Philosophy at Sephora! I have some of their products and I really like hope in a jar

If you don't have a Sephora around go to their website (sephora.com) it's where I ordered my B.M. and you don't have to join their club also you get free samples from Sephora!

I saw Philosophy products on HSN or QVC ... I can't remember but the both have websites. If you go to Sephora you can try their products too so if you're not sure about B.M. you should probably go there!

Hi, I use nothing but Bare Minerals for the year and a half. My skin is so different now, I love it. I am allergic to almost everthng and found this to be fantastic. The first time I bought it I got it in a kit 2 choices light or dark. That made it very easy. I just went from there with adding things. Good Luck. Cookie

I am using bare minrals and I absolutely love it. I like what it is doing to my skin AND it is so quick and easy to apply!

That's a good way to try it, that way you can try it for 30 days and if you don't like it, you can send it back for a refund.

I have really sensitive skin and I use BM. I do itch sometimes, but everything makes me itch, so nothing new there.
Overall I really like BM, a lot!

MyPeanutAbbyGra · 07-05-2008, 11:28 AM

Also, if you have any flaws, like redness, be sure to get bisque. It really does a good job hiding any scars or redness.

The one bad thing I can say about BM is that it's messy. I always have it all over my dresser. No biggie, just thought I'd mention it.

I absolutely adore this stuff. It took me a while to get used to how light it feels on, like nothing is there, but it is. I am a club member so they ship me more every few months automatically. My only complaint is lately I have had problems with my shipments being delayed in the mail or getting lost. Lately they have been using UPS Mail Innovations, which starts out in the UPS system and then when it arrives locally, it is handled by the US Mail. It is the Mail part where my packages are getting lost. If you order from the company, specifically request that they send UPS ground, and not Mail Innovations.

My skin is better too... I ust to always break out and now I have clear skin... Luv, Luv my BE... Also, I like the fact that when it's hot my face doesn't melt off!! LOL...

Just wanted to share that I canceled my Bare Minerals club shipments. My order got lost in the U.S. Mail, again. This is the second time in the last month. To save frustration, I suggest buying at a local retailer if you can. I gave the company my two cents worth and begged them to ship via UPS all the way. Also, when you buy at a retailer, you get full size jars of foundation and mineral veil. The club sends you starter size jars. The bigger jars are much less messy and last longer.

crystalsmom · 07-09-2008, 02:58 PM

I use the Bisque Bare Minerals and just love it

I haven't ever the club... I always order from QVC...

mommaofmia · 07-09-2008, 05:50 PM

I started using BM a year ago and I could never go back to liquid. BM is so natural. It doesn't feel like you've got any makeup on, but covers really good. At first I wasn't sure about it, but once you learn how to use it, you'll love it and it's lasted me a year already.. It last a long time... Hope this helps...

kspice501 · 07-09-2008, 06:05 PM

I've used bare minerals for about 4 years. I love it. I used to use mary kay cream to powder foundation and it always seemed to get "caked" up around the "creases" around my eyes. I don't get that with the bare minerals. I use the bisque, well-rested (great under the eyes and in the corners of your eyes), and the foundation. I used warmth for blush on occasion.
I have also tried the eyeshadow. I like the colors and the look, however, it's too much trouble for me to open and close three different color jars when I can still use my mary kay and have it all there open and ready for me. So, bottom line, love the foundation!

TIA

I use Everyday Minerals and I'm in love. I've heard people who used Bare Minerals then switched to Everyday Minerals and like it even more. You can get a trial kit on EverydayMinerals.com (you get 3 foundations, 1 blush and 1 concealer) and you just pay S&H which is like $3.90. I hardly get breakouts to begin with but this helped clear up the dreaded ones I get when Aunt Flow visits, very flawless finish. Here's a picture of me with it on.

Excuse the dorky faces and Lilly trying to attack my drink in the 1st one.

I just thought I'd give another opinion on something else that's better for people who can't afford the $60.00 kits that Bare Minerals offers.

Oh and the starter kit with the normal size products is around $30.00.
