Bare Escentuals to have QVC’s Today’s Special Value (TSV) on April 25, 2008
Posted on March 23, 2008 | Filed Under Bare Escentuals | Leave a Comment
QVC has announced that there will be a Bare Escentuals TSV on 4/25/2008 - no word yet on what it will be - but for the last two years the April TSV has been a “Faux Tan” kit, with the Faux Tanning Product (which is very highly rated by users) and the Faux Tan All Over Face Color (which I love!).
(When ordering from QVC, make sure you are going through Mr. Rebates to receive a 3% rebate!)
I assume the TSV will be along the lines of this kit which is already available:
Bare Escentuals Sun Worshipper Face & Body Collection ($89 Value)
The Sun Worshipper is a five piece sunless beauty collection includes fool-proof, faux-tan products for face and body that will finally convince you just how much better faux tanning is than the real thing.
Learn how to look intensely hot without the burning heat, and be a bronzed sun goddess with skin worthy of worship itself.
Includes:
Bare Esentual’s Faux Tan (4.5 oz) for body comes with a pump for fast and easy, all-over application. Without facing a single ray of sunshine, 100% pure bareMinerals Faux Tan All-Over Face Color (.03 oz), bareMinerals Nude Beach Glimmer (.02 oz), and Wearable Bronze Lip Gloss (.2 oz) will make you look as if you’ve just arrived from an exotic hotspot in the tropics.

Maybelline Mineral Makeup
Posted on March 16, 2008 | Filed Under Product Reviews | 1 Comment
Maybelline Mineral Makeup is one of the newest in an ever growing line of drugstore mineral makeup. I tried it out this week - Here is my Maybelline Mineral Makeup Review:
Price - $8.99 for 0.28 ounce (includes a small natural hair brush).
Shade Selection - Maybelline’s Mineral Power Loose Foundation is available in 8 shades. I wear Medium in virtually every foundation I have ever worn (I always wear the color that they say “80% of women can wear this shade”). The store where I purchased mine was out of all medium shades, so I tried the darkest “light” shade - Creamy Natural. It was a good shade for me - maybe just a little too pink for my cool skin tone.
Coverage - I was very disappointed in the coverage. The Maybelline advertising promises “Medium to Full Coverage”. I didn’t get full coverage, not even medium coverage. I have a few dark areas on my face that are easily covered by most mineral makeup brands. Even with concealer, they were still visible. The makeup did provide color on my face, but no coverage. It was not natural looking at all you could definitely tell I had on makeup - but that could be the result of the color selection, not the foundation itself.
Ingredients - I was very disappointed with the ingredients. Synthetic wax? On my acne prone face? One of the main reasons I love mineral makeup is that it is all natural without a lot of unnecessary ingredients and it doesn’t cause my very acne prone skin to break out.
Here are the Maybelline Mineral Makeup ingredients:
Zinc Oxide, Polyethlene, Boron Nitride, Dimethicone, PTFE, Synthetic Wax, Acrylates Copolymer, Lauroyl Lysine, Cetyl Dimethicone, Aloe Barbadensis/Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Trumethylsioxsilicate, Trisocetyl Citrate, Isopropyl Titanium Trisosterate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Panthenol Chamomilla Recutita Extract/Matricaria Flower Extract (+/- May Contain: Mica, Cl77891/Titanuim Dioxide, Cl77163 Bismuth Oxychloride, Cl77499, Cl77492, Cl77491/Iron Oxides, Cl77007/Ultramarines).
I was surprised that although Zinc Oxide is listed first, there is not an SPF given with this makeup. One of the other reasons I love mineral makeup is the SPF without having to use a separate product. (And the value on this definitely goes down if you have to purchase an additional product for your SPF.) I was also wondering why in their advertising they state “Mica amplifies natural luminosity” and “100% natural mica creates a more natural luminosity”, yet mica is listed under “may contain” ingredients, along with Bismuth - which is problematic for some users.
Stash or Trash? Definitely the trash on this one for me. Maybe if you have great skin and want sheer coverage and don’t mind that long list of ingredients you might like it, but this one is not for me!
