Bare Minerals and Primer Review!

Okay, so I have ALWAYS been a drug store make up girl. I have thinking of branching out and trying a more expensive brand after receiving a sample of Smashbox foundation in one of my ULTA orders. So last weekend I took the plunge, after researching for about a week online I decided on Bare Minerals. I also bought a Sephora Primer and a Sephora foundation (in medium). I have never used a primer before but a friend of mine recommended if you are using Bare Minerals to use a primer to make it last longer. I also got a Covergirl Trumagic Skin Perfecter tester from work, and also Maybelline Baby Skin pore eraser too.

Okay so let me start off by saying, of ALL the 3 primers, I like the baby skin the most! And it was the cheapest of all 3. I have HUGE pores, it sucks, and it covers the best. The Sephora is nice, but it feels like it takes at least 2 pumps to cover my face, almost like it evaporates before I can get it on. At $15 bucks a pop, I will not be buying it again. I have not tried the Sephora foundation yet, I hope it works well. 

Now for my favorite, Bare Minerals! I bought the Real Technique brushes to use with my Bare Minerals and love it. I bought my foundation and mineral veil at Sephora and I was on the fence about if I should get medium or medium beige, well I went with medium, which has a cooler tone. When I got home and used it for the first time with the plain mineral veil I felt like it left me a little white, so I pulled out the free sample sephora gave me of the tinted mineral veil and it is PERFECT! I love it. I also have the Medium Beige coming in too, so we will have to see how the warmer color goes with the veils. Overall I love it, and will stick with Bare Minerals!

My eyeshadows are also Bare Minerals. bareMinerals Smoky & Sultry and Bare Minerals Meteorite. 

Here is the finished product! 

 Happy Friday Eve!
