New Bare Escentuals Oil Control Foundation Primer
May 19, 2009 by Suzanne
Filed under Makeup Primers, Most Recent
For those of us with oiler and/or acne prone skin, Bare Escentuals has a new Oil Control Primer. The official name is Bare Escentuals Prime Time Oil Control and it is an oil-free, water based primer.
Here is the scoop from Bare Escentuals: “developed for oily, sensitive, or problem-prone skin to instantly smooth the complexion prior to bareMinerals SPF 15 Foundation. The oil, fragrance, and silicone–free formula is clinically proven to control shine throughout the day, as well as to regulate oil and refine pores with minerals and natural plant extracts. The lightweight primer glides on seamlessly—leaving the skin matte, refreshed, and ready for foundation.”
Ingredients:
Water (Aqua), Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Extract, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Modified Corn Starch, Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Extract, Zinc PCA, Sodium Levulinate, Sodium Anisate, Silica, Calcium Silicate, Sclerotium Gum, Citric Acid.
It is currently a Sephora exclusive, where it is getting mixed, but mostly positive reviews. I am looking forward to trying it out, but my initial feeling is that anyone who has worn and can wear a primer with silicone will be disappointed in this one. This formula is for those of us who cannot use the silicone based primers because of breakouts or very oily skin. If you have normal to dry skin or can use the other primers with silicone, stick with them. Otherwise you may want to try this out – it is probably better than nothing if you want ot use a primer.

Bare Escentuals New Rare Minerals Moisturizer

The official name is Bare Escentuals RareMinerals Purely Nourishing Moisturizer. Here is what Bare Escentuals has to say about it: A breakthrough electrolyte delivery system helps this RareMinerals complex to deeply nourish and hydrate like never before. The blend uses the finest botanicals, antioxidants, and natural emollients to give you incredibly luminous skin.” So far there is no ingredient list available, but the price is decent – $29.18 for 1.7 ounces.
While I was looking around the Bare Minerals skin care, I also found these two Bare Minerals Skin Care kits – it is nice to see them to start offering kits, which makes them more affordable.

Bare Escentuals Hydrating Mineral Veil
November 22, 2008 by Suzanne
Filed under Featured, Most Recent
There is a new addition to the Bare Escentuals Mineral Veil family – Bare Escentuals Hydrating Mineral Veil has recently been introduced. Bare Escentuals Hydrating Mineral Veil contains a unique, water-based, 100% pure bareMinerals formula that infuses thirsty skin with a cooling softness and subtly brightens for the ultimate, translucent finishing touch. Completely sheer, it lightly hydrates with natural ingredients while gently absorbing oil and minimizing the appearance of fine lines and pores. Buff it over makeup or bare skin with the antibacterial-treated Hydrate & Brighten Brush for a fresh, airbrushed complexion that lasts all day long.
What is it: An innovative mineral veil formula that contains creamy, natural rice lipids that naturally adhere to the skin, providing the ultimate translucent finishing touch to your makeup with a dewy peach iridescent shimmer.
Who is it for: For all skin types and complexions.
Why is it different: A combination of shea butter, glycerin, ceramacydes, and hyaluronic acid provides your skin with long-lasting moisturization while natural mineral colorants provide rich, lasting pigment. Upon application, it gives a cool sensation, while infusing skin with softness and light. Paraben free.
The reviews I have read so far have mostly been very positive. This one would be good to try if you find your mineral makeup drying to your skin, of if it gets dried out looking during the day. It could be used with any brand of mineral makeup (or any other type of makeup for that matter – many people use Mineral Veil with traditional foundations.)
Hydrating Mineral Veil Ingredients:
Water (Aqua); Corn Starch Modified; Zea Mays (Corn) Starch; Oryza Sativa (Rice) Lipids; Silica Silylate; Populus Tremuloides Bark Extract; Lonicera Caprifolium (Honysuckle) Flower Extract; Lonicera Japonica (Honysuckle) Flower Extract. May Contain: Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891); Mica (CI 77019); Bismuth Oxychloride (CI 77163); Iron Oxides (CI 77491); Iron Oxides (CI 77492).

Serious Skin Care ProMinerals ProNano Brightening Powder
Has Serious Skin Care outdone Bare Escentuals by making a “new and improved” Mineral Veil? Or is ir an alternative to Rare Minerals? Or is it a makeup primer? Or all of the above?
ProNano Brightening Powder debuted a few months ago. Since then it has received RAVE reviews by users – it is a customer pick on HSN. The instructions say to apply it before makeup – it is intended as a primer to minimize pores, reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles, brighten the skin and keep it hydrated while absorbing oil. This is very appealing to me because regular makeup primers cause me to breakout, but because this one is a mineral based powder, I should be OK.
Because it contains cornstarch (a main ingredient in Bare Mineral’s Mineral Veil), people are also using it over their foundation as a setting powder and they seem to be happy with those results as well.
It also contains Emblica Fruit Extract: Natural (a fruit extract that has anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, protects skin cells for anti-aging benefits, natural skin brightener) as a main ingredient – this is also a main ingredient in Rare Minerals and Strivectin.
Here is what HSN says about the product:
Serious Skin Care ProMinerals ProNano Brightening Powder is a state-of-the-art concept in skin care that visibly reduces the look of lines and wrinkles, instantly refines the look of pores, noticeably brightens skin and helps uneven skin tone. You receive .50 oz. of this innovative and powerful loose-powder beauty treatment.Serious Skin Care ProMinerals ProNano Brightening Powder Features: Nanofied, time-released moisturizers and skin-plumping hydrators along with dazzling skin brighteners. Apply directly to the skin with the dusting of a brush. Activated by your skin’s own moisture. Ideal for all skin types. Made in USA.
I’m not sure I would have paid much attention to this product if it weren’t for all of the rave reviews (they are here if you want to read them - Serious Skin Care ProMinerals ProNano Brightening Powder) – but I am very intrigued and want to give it a try! I am out of Rare Minerals – which I love, but have a tough time coughing up $60 for it!, so I will try this instead. I am a big fan of Serious Skin Care ProMineral Foundation and have been wanting to get a kit for awhile – I found and ordered the kit pictured below, the powder is available as a separate item, I love the value of the Serious Skin Care kits! I will try it for a while and post a review.
Have you tried ProNano Brightening Powder? If so, please share your review either here in the comments, or here Mineral Makeup Reviews.

Serious Skin Care’s Mineral Based Skin Care
When I wrote about Serious Skin Care Introduces Mineral Based Skin Care a while back, I felt like the Capo Minerale trio would eventually be available in a kit at a much better value. There is now a kit that offers all three at an approximate 40% price reduction (plus it on flex pay). The kit is a much better value, I am going to give it a try now – as my skin seems to respond so well to anything mineral based.
Speaking of saving some $$, some of the Serious Skin Care Mineral Kits are on sale and are a really great value if you’ve been wanting to give this brand a try. I really like this brand a lot. (The kits on sale are pictured below after the Capo Minerale products.

Mineral Makeup and Dry Skin
August 7, 2008 by Suzanne
Filed under Featured, Most Recent
I know many ladies with dry skin have been very frustrated in their mineral makeup adventures. For some users with dry skin their minerals dry out and they feel they are just caked on – even after using lots of moisturizer before applying. It looks like help has arrived in the form of Serious SKin Care’s Olive Oil primer for dry skin. I noticed this over on HSN and found both the primer and primer and Prominerals have received so many positive reviews they are “customer picks”.
Serious Skin Care says that the “Olive Oil Hydrating Skin Primer was formulated specially for people with dry skin, this lotion contains olive oil leaf extract and powerful skin hydrators. It helps prep the skin for makeup and helps keep it dewy and hydrated.” So far the reviews are all glowing – many by women with dry skin who siad they were never able to wear mineral makeup before.
As an added bonus – all customer picks are $5 off with coupon number C70580 through August 18th!
If you try it, please leave a review in the comments or at Mineral Makeup Reviews – Thanks!
