Like a virgin...Using Bare Minerals for the very first time...

So, I’ve recently acquired some Bare Escentuals mineral foundation. I’ve drooled while watching those infomercials for quite some time. My first try was a disaster. It was my fault though. I used the same brush I use with my Blunt blush, so it shouldn’t have been a surprise that I ended up with dark spots on my face. I’m pregnant, I don’t think straight sometimes, lol. This morning, I didn’t feel like slathering my SFF on & decided to give it another go. I found a kabuki brush I didn’t even know I had & started the ‘buffing’.

I knew enough about reading review after review on B.E. foundation to not expect the same type of coverage I get from a liquid. Aside from a few minor blemishes I didn’t take the time to figure out how to cover…I’m pretty impressed. These days my main focus is my complexion & making my cheeks look contoured. I’ve, unfortunately, let my eyes go plain. I’ll be getting some UD PP soon (thanks Amelia!) & I’ll see if I can dredge myself out of my eyeshadow drought. Anyway, here’s what I got for today. Thanks for looking!

Very pretty. You have great skin!

I loved BE too but unfortunately it makes me itch in the heat here and it's a bit too shiny for my taste. I have since tried EM and love them as far as mineral makeup goes ... but used BE for a long time and really liked it.
