bare essentuals

I’ve wanted to try Bare Essentuals for years, but I just never get around to it. I have friends who rave about it. I’m a little leery of buying a big starter kit of the product off QVC…but I know that it is sold locally at ULTA. It’s just a matter of deciding to try it…and investing the money into the products I’ll need to start with.

If you use it, what’s the bare minimum I’d need to buy to really give it a good try?

   I bought the starter kit - it comes with two shades, the mineral veil, the bronzer (I don’t think it is called bronzer though) and a set of brushes. I got it from Sephora as bargain shopper that I am, they had the best price at the time.

   I LOVE this stuff! I only use one of the two shades and the mineral veil though I don’t think you can just buy one shade.

   You could always just buy the foundation and a brush to start. But then you would have at least $40 invested already. You can get the starter kit for $60 (I think that’s what I paid) and you get SO much more, but it’s still not *too* much. Plus it lasts and lasts. I’ve had mine over a year and still haven’t had to buy more.

   foundation with a kabuki brush, mineral veil sets it…that’s the least…

   just know that it lasts a super long time! You use it sparingly, not like normal face powder….it blends with the natural oils in your skin, so let it set for about 5 minutes, and it will bloom
