Finally! A moisturizer that does not break out my acne prone sensitive skin. I am really starting to get why people love Bare Minerals / Bare Escentuals products. This $32 Rare Minerals Purely Nourishing Moisturizer is pretty close to perfect. Lightweightyet hydrating for my winter skin, it’s not greasy and does NOT break me out. Best of all it has glycolic acid so it will improve the look of your skin with faster cell turnover, diminished wrinkles and  minimized pores.

And I believe it! I know many of you are already huge fans of Bare Minerals, but I have always been skeptical. Until now. A recent trip to Asia left my skin horribly broken out and I was desperate to find something that covers and is actually good for my skin. Wow! Just a week later and my skin is MUCH clearer. This is a beautiful lightweight foundation (Bare Minerals Matte) and concealer that makes your skin really glow. I cannot believe how much my skin loves this stuff! Buy it here at Bare Escentuals.

Just like everyone else out there, I tried Bare Escentuals Bare Minerals powder foundation when it came out.  My friends raved about it, my facialist loved it, but sadly I just wasn’t impressed.  First off, it was messy. I couldn’t control how much product I wanted to get out and all the powder would fall into the top as soon as I threw it into my makeup bag.  Secondly, it made me greasy.  Like 3 hours after applying it, I would be a disaster. I eventually threw it into my “drawer of unusable makeup” and forgot about it. Until, this weekend.

I stopped by Sephora and saw Bare Minerals Matte foundation.  Since I’m a sucker for new products, I thought I might as well give it another shot.  I couldn’t be happier! They’ve changed the packaging so you can actually control the amount of powder you shake out AND you can close the top completely.  They have worked wonders on the formula too. It no longer makes me greasy AT ALL. Instead, it gives me the perfect coverage with a beautiful matte finish which has kept my skin looking fresh and bare from morning ’til night! It is now my go-to makeup, perfect for everyday.

Only $28 at Sephora stores or online.
