I broke down and bought the Bare Escentuals BareMinerals starter kit and I must say I love it. I watched the little DVD and found that only the first three minutes of it (after the introduction from Leslie Blodgett) pertained to me since I was only “covering up” my facial flaws. That was fine, but then I wanted the other kit…you know, the one for the eyes.

Although I am happy with the foundation and warmth, I am not too enthused about the brushes I got. I bought the kit from Sephora so that means I didn’t get all of what I could have gotten if I had order the kit directly from the manufacturer. I really wanted that feather light brush. Anyway, I had to go to the store to see if I really wanted it so I ran over to Sephora to talk to one of the Sephora girls. I’m one of those people who must try it on first before I buy it.

To make a long story short, I love my new foundation and it’s easy to put on. I like the fact that I have two shades of foundation to play with so I’ve been mixing both and it matches my skin perfectly. The brushes are nice, but I was not wowed by any of them. The instructional DVD was OK, but it would have been nice to see a darker skinned person be made up. After I did my covering I didn’t know if I had done it right or if it looked the way it was supposed to look. If any of you Bare Escentuals people are reading this please put a model with darker skin in the DVD please!

Last but not least, I also left out of Sephora with a sample of Clinique’s pore minimizer. I don’t know if I like it yet, but I definitely need it. I’ll report back on that later.

That’s all for now. :)
